Battlefist as Weapon

[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

All right, so I'm playing around with some stuff from the Eberron campaign pack.

The battlefist (and armblade, and armbow) are attachments for the warforged. Now, they're listed as Wondrous Items, taking up the Hands slot (which I don't necessarily agree with, but let's let that pass, because it can lead to nasty things), but clearly at least the battlefist and the armblade should be able to be enchanted as standard weapons, as compared to the double-cost amulet of mighty fists. However, when I try to build the battlefist as a weapon, I run into a problem.

I'm not getting its attack sequence (either standard melee attacks OR the monk's flurry) to show in the summary windows. While it's certainly on display on the item itself in the weapons tab, it'd be nice to have it showing in the summary windows. The code is below; what am I doing wrong, and/or how can I make this work? It would also be good if, when it was equipped, it took up the 'Hands' Wondrous Items slot, but I can take or leave that ...

EDIT:
(Finally got the 'one size class larger' code to work. Yay!!)

And now I have the thought in my head to be able to make it not only like Hellboy's battlefist, but for it to be able to be 'launched', like the battlefists of Wink, Prince Nuada's henchman in Hellboy 2. Another thought I've had is that the battlefist would enable the character to wield weapons that are one size class larger than the character, and transfer their bonuses through the wielded weapon.

I dunno. Thoughts, suggestions ... maybe I need a new gizmo to build it as a Wondrous Item, but dropping the cost multiplier back to standard weapon ... ?

... and I don't know what I did, but apparently I did something right, and got the attack sequences to show in the summary windows. Updated stuff below.

Still not getting the 'Hand slot' thing to work, though; tried using this little bit ...

    <tag group="Hero" tag="EqpHand" name="Hand" abbrev="Hand"/>

... but when used as part of a magical weapon, when equipped in the main hand it howled bloody murder. :/

... aaand also, when used as part of a magical weapon, it doesn't return the monk's improved damage. Grr.

  <thing id="wBattlfist" name="Battlefist" description="{B}Component Type:{/b}  attached component\n\nThis weapon resembles a massively oversized spiked gauntlet; one designed for a Medium warforged looks like a gauntlet designed for an ogre.
