A photon torpedo? What an intriguing idea! I'll have to have my friend Tripodeca take that into consideration.

Arex is an officer who serves as part of the crew aboard USS Enterprise; on the command track, he is sometimes trusted to take charge of the vessel in the captain's absence. Unlike the apparent majority of his fellow officers, he has three arms and three legs.

Fiction

Star Trek vs. Transformers

Arex was stationed on the bridge when the Enterprise arrived at Cygnus Seven in response to a distress call. When the ship was unable to contact the planet's surface, Captain Kirk took a team of officers down to the planet's surface to investigate, leaving Arex in charge. Arex was quick to contact Kirk once the interference with their communications was lifted, and subsequently carried out Kirk's command to fire a photon torpedo at the hostile robots on the planet.
