I'd thought about a "scythe claw," but you have to remember this is Dwemer technology. Very geometric, lots of straight lines and angles, very few curves. What's more, if you take a good long look at the various Dwemer scraps and doodads, you'll see that a lot of them are used in the construction of just about everything related to the Dwemer--the Levers and a Gyro show up on the Spider, both types of smeltable Plate Metal are visible on the Sphere, and on and on and on. Better to use pre-existing elements rather than construct a new one specifically for a new type of automata.

If the Sphere's dart attack is too overpowered, then I suppose a "stinger" of sorts could be used in lieu of a crossbow or claws (a Dwarven Dagger/Sword mounted on the tail springs to mind). I don't know about them being launched from a carrier, but maybe a sort of ceiling-mounted "nest" that resembles a light fixture. The helicopter design is a good idea, though--I'm thinking the Wasp's basic structure ought to combine elements of the V-22 Osprey and the Jigabachi from Ghost in the Shell.
