Just want to make sure I understand how multi-attack works on an eidolon.
Let's say an Eidolon has eight arms, two arms have claws. The Eidolon has multiattacking and unarmed strike feat.
He would get six attack with his fists with a -4 penalty to all attacks, and would get two claws at -5? He could also just take 8 attacks at -4 with unarmed strikes?
1-. Unarmed strikes are not natural attacks.
2-. To be eligible for multiattack the eidolon must have 3+ natural attacks. An eidolon with only two claws is not eligible for MA... unless he also has another natural attack like a bite or something.
If your Eidolon got the feat "for free" (Summoner lv 9), then you follow the eidolon rules:
Multiattack: An eidolon gains Multiattack as a bonus feat if it has 3 or more natural attacks and does not already have that feat. If it does not have the requisite 3 or more natural attacks (or it is reduced to less than 3 attacks), the eidolon instead gains a second attack with one of its natural weapons, albeit at a –5 penalty. If the eidolon later gains 3 or more natural attacks, it loses this additional attack and instead gains Multiattack.
If you "purchased" the feat, the feat gets disabled until you met it's prerequisites again.
Multiattack (Combat)
This creature is particularly skilled at making attacks with its natural weapons.
Prerequisite: Three or more natural attacks.
Benefit: The creature's secondary attacks with natural weapons take only a –2 penalty.
Normal: Without this feat, the creature's secondary attacks with natural weapons take a –5 penalty.
3-. If you have the Improved unarmed strike feat (there's no "unarmed strike" feat), then you have no penalties when attacking unarmed. Still, if in a round you mix natural attacks and manufactured weapons OR unarmed strikes, ALL natural attacks become secondary (-5 to-hit penalty, reduced to -2 penalty if eligible to multiattack, and 1/2 STR bonus)
4-. Finally, Unarmed strikes are iterative and use your BAB to determine the number of unarmed attacks you can do (so, you check your Eidolon's BAB colum to know how many attacks you can perform and at what attack bonus each). Damage deal will be based on the Eidolon's size (1d3 for medium, etc...) with x1 STR bonus.

Multiattack allows -2 on secondary.
Arm isn’t a natural weapon. Do you mean slam?
Look up whether or not slam and claw are primary or secondary.
Primary are str + bab. Secondary are str+bab-5 or -2 id multiattack.
Unarmed is a manufactured weapon, so it uses bab. You get one per 5 of bab, so at +5 bab that’s one and at 6 to 10 you get two.
