The spiritual fusion of Maximillian with his master in Disney’s Black Hole kind of counts as cyborg generation.

Maximillion No! He was a good man.

Also what about the people/programs of Tron?

Alara Moonrunner reminds me of a Night elf. Really! Sorry, I play World of Warcraft.

well, my mind goes right to Vic Stone of the Teen Titans. AKA Cyborg =D Kicks a lot of ass with a lot of his own great story arcs in the Wolfman/Perez comics in the 80’s.

Excellent post, Alara. I’d forgotten all about the All Purpose Cultural Catgirl, or she would have been on my list. She was definitely a dynamic heroine.
BTW They could create an excellent anime heroine from your name; if they haven’t already. I’ll have to Google it and find out.

What, no mention of "Cyborg" starring Jean-Claude Van Damme? Or "Universal Soldier" starring Jean-Claude Van Damme? Or "Knights" starring Lance Henrikson and Kris Kristofferson (but alas, no Jean-Claude Van Damme)? And, of course, you missed the most bad-ass cyborg of all - Inspector Gadget! And now, for your viewing pleasure, the beatbox flute version of the Inspector Gadget theme song.

Also suggestions for the upcoming anime list would be Lain first and foremost, barring that one Cat Girl Nuku-nuku. (Although i’m not sure if that one counts, it’s a cat mentally)

It’s been years but the episodes where Picard got temporarly assimilated have stuck with me as far as wierdness/creepy factor goes.

Lobot from Empire Strikes Back was Lando’s Go-To guy. Underrated, under-appreciated. Bald as the day is long. Possibly jealous of Princess Leia’s bagel hair.

The cyborgs in Screamers were way cool too, particularly when they turned out to be incendiary children that like to follow Peter Weller around the planet.

But for all-time, I’m going to have to go for the Cylon’s on BSG. Particularly Number 6. Not only does she wear slinky outfits and seduce her way into the Caprican security systems and thus doom humanity, but other versions of her do all sorts of things from wearing jumpsuits and seducing Admiral Cain, or seducing Colonel Tigh in prison attire. Some Number Sixes have been known to be maintenance crew that specialize in smearing cylon base-star goo into the old cracking metal of Colonial battlestars…in an albeit seductive manner.

JB-Weld has never been so hottt.
