History Main / Cyborg

* ''Manhwa/DorothyOfOz'': Namu initially believes he is an android (a robot that merely looks human), but it turns out he's actually a cyborg and thus half human. This turns out to be the reason behind his unwillingness to let anyone get killed while he's in the vicinity, which is, of course, a good thing for everyone involved.

* Creator/DCComics' Cyborg (real name Victor Stone) made his film debut in the ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse'', first as an EarlyBirdCameo in ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' as a torso being "rebuilt" by a Mother Box following the accident that crippled him, then in earnest in ''Film/JusticeLeague2017''.

** All villains -- except BigBad Dr. Hell -- are cyborgs: Baron Ashura, Count Brocken, their {{Mook}}s... all of them -- except by Archduke Gorgon -- are created by Hell himself. Usually he fabricates his cyborgs by modifying corpses, replacing damaged parts with artificial limbs or organs and implanting cybernetic components in their brains to create obedient, brainwashed slaves (and there's at least one scene in one of the manga versions where Baron Ashura kills many people off, gloating they will be transformed into cyborgs and turned into slaves. Now you know what happened to all people who died when a Mechanical Beast attacked). However, in at least one instance he saves the life of the subject -- Count Brocken -- by turning him into a cyborg. Other cyborg characters are [[spoiler:Kenzo Kabuto]] and in the GosakuOta manga [[spoiler:[[TheHero Kouji Kabuto]]]] himself is turned into one by the end of the series.

** After he gets run over by the Sea Train, Franky saves himself by replacing just about all his body parts in the front with mechanical parts from a old wrecked warship that was floating around. It should also be noted that Franky built himself. Then there's [[spoiler:Bartholemew Kuma of the Seven Warlords of the Sea]]. Unlike Franky he wasn't built from scraps, and it shows. At this point, it's not clear how much of him is still human, or if he's the equivalent of a Franchise/{{Terminator}} now. As of chapter 560 [[spoiler:the Pacifista transformation process (which was done gradually over time) was recently completed, leaving him a mute emotionless machine.]]
** After the [[spoiler:two year time skip]], we find that Franky [[spoiler:has "upgraded" himself even more robotic-looking. His shoulders are massive and spherical, and his forearms are cubes attached with giant screws (to list the two most obvious differences). In his own words, he's "completely beyond human understanding now!"]] Everyone else just finds it cool, though... except for Nami and Robin.

* In the early '90s OVA ''Anime/EighthMan After'', there are two different types of cyborgs, both of whom rely on stimulants to keep their brains' motor functions from conflicting with the cybernetics. Eight Man himself is a total body replacement with a human brain, while the cyborgs he fights, Cyber Junkies, are street punks who cut off and replace limbs with high-powered weapons and abilities. Unfortunately, the Cyber Junkies rely on a crude version of the stimulant that eventually turns their brains to mush and makes them psychotically violent.

** [[spoiler:Finn]] has a strange tendency to lose his arm in any given time-line, generally receiving a clawed cyborg arm that he seems to function well with. This is first seen in the [[spoiler:Farmworld timeline]] introduced in ''The Lich'', where he had a mechanical arm with no explanation. His [[spoiler:prior incarnation before the timelines diverged, Shoko]] had a very similar one, only built by Princess Bubblegum to replace the arm [[spoiler:her parents sold to buy a computer]]. Since then, it's [[spoiler:happened twice in the main timeline; thrice if you count pillow-world as part of the main timeline.]] He made do with a succession of kludgy artificial arms given to him by various princesses the first time, a [[spoiler:pillow arm in the pillow world]], and then, via a complicated series of events involving a curse and some magic blood, [[spoiler:regrew a natural seeming arm,]] which he later lost when [[spoiler:his grass sword became sentient and burst out of his arm.]] Since then, he's used an intelligent mechanical arm which becomes various tools in response to voice commands. He's also mentioned wanting bionic legs, though this might be a joke. He does seem to avert CyberneticsWillEatYourSoul quite well.
** This is also the most likely explanation of Finn's auto-tune voice, which he supposedly got from swallowing a tiny computer. [[spoiler:He sure does seem to be destined to become a cyborg, doesn't he?]]

* ''Franchise/Ben10'': In the pilot of [[WesternAnimation/Ben10 the first series]], Vilgax is badly wounded and spends most of the first season in a HealingVat. He gets impatient and makes himself into a cyborg so he can take the Omnitrix personally, which has the added benefit of making him powerful enough to [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp]] the fledgling hero. By the time of ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]'', he has fully recovered and ditched the cybernetics.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]]. According to "[[Recap/RickAndMortyS3E5TheWhirlyDirlyConspiracy The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy]]", Rick's body ([[spoiler:or at least the body he currently has]]) contains a lot of advanced cybernetics. It's never said whether his [[spoiler:original]] body was this, though it'd admittedly explain a lot of his unnatural strength. "[[Recap/RickAndMortyS3E6RestAndRicklaxation Rest and Ricklaxation]]" resulted in Rick's body being killed off by Toxic Rick, but his quick thinking allowed him to grow a new body out of Toxic Rick himself, which brought him back to full human, but ''then'' he gets his right arm ripped off in "[[Recap/RickAndMortyS3E9TheABCsOfBeth The ABCs of Beth]]", but has a replacement robotic arm ready to immediately replace it. Within the same episode, he's already grown back his organic arm.

*** War Machine got turned into a cyborg around the time of ''ComicBook/CivilWar2006'' storyline, but after the whole ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'' storyline was able to get his [[BrainUploading brain uploaded]] into a cloned body, [[StatusQuoIsGod turning him back to normal]].

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1985'': In "Father & Son Game", over 50% of Darius Stephens' new body consists of machinery. Almost all of his major organs, including his brain, are artificial. This creates problems for Darius as there is no legal precedent for a person with an artificial brain to be considered alive.

* The ''TabletopGame/D20Modern'' supplement ''d20 Future'' has some coverage of this topic, and ''Cyberscape'' expands on it. ''Cyberscape'' also adds alternate cybernetics, including Golemtech and Necrotic Implants ({{Golem}}- and [[{{Necromancer}} Necromancy]]-based cybernetics, respectively), for a {{Magitek}} twist on the cyborg.

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': Even though the clown Fizzarolli was just a regular imp growing up, by the time of the series, not only are there [[RobotClown robotic replicas of him]], but his real body seems a lot like those robots too -- he's at least got extendable mechanical arms and legs after [[spoiler: having been caught in an explosion and a fire that destroyed a lot of his body.]]

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': Even though the clown Fizzarolli was just a regular imp growing up, by the time of the series, not only are there [[RobotClown robotic replicas of him]], but his real body seems a lot like those robots too -- he's at least got extendable mechanical arms and legs.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}: Cybernetics, called cyberware, are near-omnipresent in the setting. Consumer cybernetics for civilians run the gamut from cybereyes to full limb replacements to replacing most of your chest with cybernetics, and military cyberware grants superhuman strength, speed and endurance. With the exception of the brain and some internal organs, every part of the body can be replaced with cybernetics, but the [[LifeEnergy Essence limit]] [[CyberneticsEatYourSoul puts a hard cap on how many implants a single body can handle]]. Practically all shadowrunners that aren't dabbling in magic get at least some cyberware, making almost every player character and most {{NPC}}s a cyborg by default. By the 2070s cyberware [[GeneticEngineeringIsTheNewNuke is getting replaced by bioware in some sectors]] (especially in prosthetics), but cyberware is still cheaper and has a few options that simply cannot be replicated by biological implants.

* ''TabletopGame/IronKingdoms'' has Magitek cybernetics used by the Cryx, which are made of machinery and dead tissue, making all manner of cyborg undead; and their sometime-allies the Cephalyx, who won't wait for you to die, and have perfected their implants to enhance and mind-contorl their living captives, as well as equipping them for combat. There are others, including a massive farrow beast which is basically a steam-powered borg whose designer had some trouble getting anything other than pulled pork out of the experimental process.

As HollywoodScience, cybernetics in fiction often involves replacing an entire body except for half a face/chest with mechanical parts and can go as advanced as having a [[BrainInAJar lone brain reside inside a machine]], while cybernetics in RealLife presently peaks at ocular implants with low frame-rate and gray-scale vision. If your generic MadScientist has a specialty in robotics, or even dabbles in it, you should expect this trope to come up relatively soon. Those who have been subject to cybernetics are called Cyborgs, as opposed to Androids, which are RidiculouslyHumanRobots. It's somewhat common in media that take place in the "present," and will almost certainly come up in storylines TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture.

In the original definition of “cybernetics,” it was the study of constructing machines by mimicking real organisms, e.g. building insect robots that process sensory and motion information like insects do. Thus, “cybernetic organism” can refer to such a pure machine. The “super-prosthetic” part came later, but it has overshadowed the earlier definition. “Bionics” is an older term from the design field, where it meant mimicking nature in order to get an elegant, functional product (see [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Papanek Victor Papanek's]] seminal book, ''[[http://www.treehugger.com/files/2005/01/victor_papanek.php Design For The Real World]]'' for multiple examples). It was used much in this manner by Creator/MartinCaidin's early 1970s novel ''Cyborg'', to describe mechanical prosthetics designed to look and act like real limbs, but in the adaptation of ''Cyborg'' into ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'', the "elements of nature" aspect was lost and it became a generic term for the enhancement of people with mechanical parts. Fortunately for those who use it for its original meaning, this definition is seldom seen anymore.

Common things used in cybernetics include the RestrainingBolt, the ArmCannon and ArtificialLimbs. On the highest level of tech we have {{Nanomachines}} infusing biological beings. Just be careful not to overdo it, if you're in a setting where CyberneticsEatYourSoul or where they're treated as {{Power Upgrading Deformation}}s. Often cybernetics is [[WeCanRebuildHim used as an excuse]] to bring someone BackFromTheDead, even if the brain has been dead a while. One can certainly expect some questions about WhatMeasureIsANonHuman, and an attempt to take over or “replace” mundane humanity is not out of the question. Of course, it's also possible for most cyborgs to be {{Pro Human Transhuman}}s.

* ''Manga/{{Appleseed}}'' has cybernetics anywhere from a replacement finger to a full-body conversion. Both series being from Creator/ShirowMasamune, he goes into detailed explanations as to the limitations of such enhancements, such as how simply having a cybernetic arm doesn't mean that arm would have super-strength, unless it was heavily tied in and firmly attached to the body. Full-body Cyborgs get to keep their reproductive systems too, or get new ones. Not so much in ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'', especially in the first movie where Motoko states she is incapable of birth due to her completely artificial body. In the ''Appleseed'' manga, this is made very clear since Deunan Knute (a human) and Briareos Hecatonchires (a full-body replacement) are known to have a physical as well as romantic relationship.

* ''Manga/GhostInTheShell'' features "full-body replacement" cyborgs as primary characters, who have been modified to the point where the only thing that's human about them is their brain.[[note]]Even ''that'' is usually augmented with cybernetics, even in the case of the otherwise fully-organic Togusa.[[/note]] One of the Tachikomas (insect-like, sentient mecha) successfully passes the Turing Test by claiming to be a full-body replacement when questioned. Kusanagi occasionally angsts about whether the military may have replaced her brain without telling her, presumably uploading her into a robot. As later events show, this is a valid possibility. The manga discusses the RequiredSecondaryPowers: an organic human frame puts limits on how much ability enhancement cybernetics can impart, and thus a fully cybernetic body has much greater capabilities than a person with a largely original organic body and more limited cybernetics. Further, in ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex - Solid State Society'' a character limited cybernetics adds more. He is told to be careful, since his organic body will be put under further strain by this. The series explores the question of whether CyberneticsEatYourSoul -- a pressing question in this setting because the slope to becoming a full cyborg is slippery indeed.

* WebAnimation/InfernoCop gets turned into a cyborg by Southern Cross. [[RuleOfCool It gives him the power to turn into a car and travel back in time]].
* In ''Manga/InuYasha'', Ginkotsu of the Band of Seven is [[SchizoTech a heavily modified cyborg in feudal Japan]].
* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' Part 2 gives us Rudolf von Stroheim, the Nazi cyborg. Yes. NAZI cyborg. Complete with a chest turret and swastika-shaped eye laser. He's on the protagonist's side.

* ''Manga/MotherKeeper'' All of the mother keepers are cyborgs, as is Turkes of Chaos Tide.

* ''Literature/RebuildWorld'': Come in two types, those with {{Nanomachines}} in their bloodstream that are stored somewhere in the person, and more typical cyborgs (usually FullConversionCyborg).
** Sara is introduced having medical nanomachines that serve to control her incurable illness, but also grant her SuperStrength and a HealingFactor by consuming the expensive to refill nanomachines stored in her breasts (which shrink as she uses them).
** BrainUploading technology is often used in a black box on a hunter's person as part of insurance plans for an EmergencyTransformation if that hunter "dies". The subject of SenseLossSadness from low quality prosthetic bodies gets explored in depth, and the full type of cyborg have the benifit of a plug in BrainComputerInterface to better control AutomatedAutomobiles or MiniMecha.

* Creator/MarvelComics has a lot of these, including ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'''s Alistair Smythe, Silvermane and [[Characters/MarvelComicsOttoOctavius Dr. Octopus]].

*** War Machine got turned into a cyborg around the time of the ''ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}}'' storyline, but after the whole ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'' storyline was able to get his [[BrainUploading brain uploaded]] into a cloned body, [[StatusQuoIsGod turning him back to normal]].
*** The conclusion of ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'' shows a downside to the self-augmentation approach. The final battle ends with Tony in a coma. [[ComicBook/XMen The Beast]] tells [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Carol]] that he could probably awaken a normal person from this sort of coma no problem, but Tony's modified his body so much that he has no idea where to begin.
** Although ComicBook/RomSpaceKnight [[HeroicSacrifice volunteered to be made a cyborg]], he loathed it and longed to end his war with the Dire Wraiths and regain his humanity. Eventually, [[spoiler:he did! Good for him!]]
** ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'s [[UnbreakableBones adamantium-bonded skeleton]] may count (which would also include [[Characters/MarvelComicsSabretooth Sabretooth]] and [[ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} Bullseye]]). He definitely counted prior to having his adamantium removed, because his [[WolverineClaws claws]] were explicitly cybernetic implants in mechanical housings. They were later {{retcon}}ned into being a natural part of his skeletal structure, extended and retracted through muscular action.
** Other cyborgs just from the ''ComicBook/XMen'' comics include Omega Red, [[Characters/MarvelComicsApocalypse Apocalypse]], ComicBook/{{Cable}}, Lady Deathstrike, Donald Pierce, Cyber, Garrison Kane, Forge, and many more.
** Parodied in the ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' storyline "Revenge of the Sinister Six". When one battle goes horribly awry thanks to Mysterio, Spidey's rescued by ComicBook/{{Deathlok}} (himself a cyborg). When Spidey comes to, he finds himself with various gizmos attached to him, including a metal cyborg-like arm. Turns out that they were all state-of-the-art medical equipment (the metal arm being a sophisticated cast) and its working on healing him double time. It ends up freaking out Mary Jane, who smashes Peter's head with a vase when he sneaks in after another fight.
** [[ComicBook/AntMan Hank Pym]] ends up being this after he ended up in a FusionDance with his own wayward creation Ultron. There's not much of his original body left -- everything below the upper chest is ''gone''. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, Ultron is able to take control because he is a copy of Hank's own mind that doesn't repress his darker side.]]
** [[Characters/MarvelComicsBuckyBarnes Bucky Barnes]] sometimes refers to himself and is referred to by others as a cyborg on account of his mechanical arm, which he can control telepathically when it's detached from him.
** Black Widow in ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'', rather than being a BadassNormal as is [[ComicBook/BlackWidow her mainstream counterpart]], instead has cybernetic implants.
* Creator/DCComics has Cyborg from ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'', Robotman (Cliff Steele) from ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'', and the golden age Robotman (Robert Crane) on the heroic side. On the villainous side, there are the ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' foes [[Characters/SupermanBrainiacCharacter Brainiac]] (currently an alien cyborg from the planet Colu), Metallo (a mechanical man with a Kryptonite heart), and Cyborg-Superman (actually a nomadic, technopathic intelligence with the ability to create bodies forged from cloned Superman organs and Kryptonian technology). And also Tharok of the [[ComicBook/LegionOfSuperheroes Fatal Five]].
** Depending on the version, ComicBook/BlueBeetle's scarab is either separate from its host or integrated into its body.
** Violet Paige, the protagonist of ''ComicBook/MotherPanic'', has internal augmentations that give her SuperStrength. Outwardly, she shows no signs of mechanical enhancements at all.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'':
*** Doctor Cyber had cybernetic implants in the [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Post-Crisis]] continuity. This only fits her Post-Crisis self as her [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1942 original iteration]] just wore PoweredArmor and her modern ''ComicBook/WonderWomanRebirth'' iteration is an AI who was never human to begin with.
*** Cyborgirl was given life saving cybernetic implants when she nearly died due to her drug addiction, and she quickly figured out how to use said implants to become a killer for hire.
* Creator/WarrenEllis' ''ComicBook/GlobalFrequency'' deconstructed and subverted this, pointing out the extensive and conspicuous modifications it would take to make a real cyborg. It was so hard, in fact, that most people who underwent the procedure had psychotic breaks, and were intended more as non-nuclear [[LaserGuidedTykebomb WMDs]] than foot soldiers.
* Also from Creator/WarrenEllis, the Engineer from ''ComicBook/TheAuthority'' and ''ComicBook/{{Stormwatch}}''.
* Creator/ArchieComics' short-lived comic based on the MANTECH toy franchise was based around this trope, with heroic cyborgs fighting evil robots. The three dying heroes were made into cyborgs to save their lives, their whole bodies being replaced with boxy robotic bits, gaining superpowers in the process. Aquatech hates what has happened to him, Solartech accepts it as a necessity, and Lasertech loves it.

* ''ComicBook/LastManStanding'' has a few of them are running around. The most notable one would be [[NinjaPirateRobotZombie Judge]], a [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombie]] PsychoElectro GlassCannon who used to be a [[HuskyRusskie Russian Soldier]] before his death while working for [[MegaCorp Armtech]]. He got better, and now he's looking to lay down a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against the people who left him to die.
%%* ''ComicBook/LadyMechanika'', a SteamPunk cyborg ActionGirl.
%%* ''ComicBook/TheMetabarons'': The Castaka Metabarons.
* In ''ComicBook/AllFallDown'', [[spoiler:Pronto]] undergoes this treatment to regain his lost powers and attack Siphon on equal footing.
* ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' has several of them, known as Mandroids. Most notable are Judge Guthrie and Nate Slaughterhouse.
* ''ComicBook/BazookaJules'': The family are a group of cyborgs developed by White Sleep Technologies. Each of them is a previously deceased mass murderer whose brain and spinal column are fused with a robot body.
* ''ComicBook/MaxRideFirstFlight'': The Flock, unlike in [[Literature/MaximumRide the book series]] where their wings were the result of genetic-engineering, here their wings are now entirely mechanical, built into their spines and capable of folding inside their own bodies for space.
* ''ComicBook/AstroCity'': El Robo of the Astro City Irregulars is a half-human half-robot hero, though he has no visible human parts.

* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'': The misuse of "android" for 17 and 18 is lampshaded. Cell explicitly refers to them as cyborgs and mocks Piccolo for incorrectly calling them androids. The whole "android" thing seems to have started with Goku, who, being the IdiotHero of the series, kept mistaking them for androids, despite Trunks calling them cyborgs. [[spoiler:In the end even Trunks slipped up and called them androids, right before killing them in his timeline.]]

* ''Fanfic/Hottie3TheBestFanFicInTheWorld': Carmen Cole get's rebuilt into a cyborg after getting killed in the novel Literature/{{Hottie}} by Jonathan Bernstein.
* ''Blog/ReadingRainbowverse'': There was a fad for a brain from another dimension to turn ponies into cyborgs.
* ''Fanfic/CrossoverChaos'': Hawkeye Pierce from ''Series/{{MASH}}'' was turned into this [[spoiler:after getting run over by a car]]. However, as of Agents of C.H.A.O.S, he is no longer this. However, there's a new cyborg character in the fanfic, France from Axis Powers Hetalia [[spoiler:who became this after getting big parts of him blasted off]].
* ''Fanfic/Plan7Of9FromOuterSpace''. In the {{Zeerust}} future of [[Film/TheAdventuresOfCaptainProton Captain Proton]], women are getting cybernetic enhancements to compete with {{Sexbot}}s and {{Do Anything Robot}}s who are replacing them in the [[StayInTheKitchen domestic sphere]]. But these enhanced women have little patience with taking orders from men and so decide to TakeOverTheWorld.
* ''Fanfic/MegaManDefenderOfTheHumanRace'': Rather than being straight robots from space as in the games, the Stardroids are biomechanical beings.
* ''Fanfic/{{Origins}}'': Samantha Shepard becomes progressively more mechanical, from [[VideoGame/MassEffect2 Cerberus' reconstruction]] to having [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe her legs and lower torso smashed into paste]] requiring a [[TimeStandsStill fancy medical capsule]] followed by even more reconstructive surgery.
* ''Fanfic/HalkegeniaOnlineZeroHour'': Nanami Shirotaka lost all four limbs to a heated cleaver in Laughing Coffin's death game. So she designed a set of robotic limbs she could control via her VR headset.
%%* ''Fanfic/TheKeysStandAlone: The Soft World'': Bashaban, the PLMC (Partial Liquid Metal Cyborg) and {{Expy}} of the Titanium Titan from ''WesternAnimation/ElTigreTheAdventuresOfMannyRivera''.
* In ''Fanfic/ToTheStars'', everybody is a cyborg, with implants that allow for VR, telepathy, and even biological [[ImmortalitySeeker Immortality]]

* In ''Fanfic/NeitherABirdNorAPlaneItsDeku'', Mei Hatsume is this, giving her the ability to [[SuperToughness easily survive getting shot through a ceiling and crashing to the floor]] and shoot HollywoodAcid corrosive enough to burn a ten foot hole in the floor of a building. She also has a BarbieDollAnatomy, GoingCommando because her legs are metallic.
* ''Fanfic/ChildrenOfRemnant'': Tyrian has apparently been damaged by training Pyrrha to the point that he's more machine than man.
* ''Fanfic/BecomingATrueInvader'':
** The Heboadians as a race are all cybernetically enhanced.
** Invader Togan has heavily modified himself with cybernetics to increase his natural psychic abilities.
* ''Fanfic/KaijuRevolution'': King Caesar and Pulgasari are both stone-age examples. They were originally wounded kaiju located and modified by an advanced Paleolithic civilisation, with the former being given stone armor and the latter metal.
* ''Fanfic/InferiorOrSuperior'': Many of the Pokemon native to the Cyberos region have evolved to incorporate technology into their bodies.

[[folder:Film — Live-Action]]
* Creator/DCComics' Cyborg (real name Victor Stone) made his film debut in the Franchise/DCExtendedUnivere, first as an EarlyBirdCameo in ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'' as a torso being "rebuilt" by a Mother Box following the accident that crippled him, then in earnest in ''[[Film/ZackSnydersJusticeLeague Justice League]]''.
* ''Franchise/StarWars'':
** There are many characters like this, particularly Anakin (who loses an arm and has it replaced with a mechanical prosthetic) who then turns into Darth Vader (both legs, the other arm as well as extensive internal organ damage, particularly the lungs) and Luke (right hand) Skywalker, Lobot (Lando Calrissian's assistant, direct brain-link to the city mainframe), and General Grievous (entire body except brain, heart and lungs).
** ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'' introduces the Mods, a Mos Espa gang whose members have voluntarily replaced various body parts with electronics. It's revealed in a flashback that Boba sought out the Mods' surgeon to [[WeCanRebuildHim save Fennec Shand's life]] after she was left for dead in her appearance on ''Series/TheMandalorian''.
* Franchise/RoboCop's body is almost completely mechanical. The only organic parts are his brain, part of his spinal cord, and his face. Murphy's face was peeled off and placed upon a layer of synthetic support as a posthumous honor to the dead cop. The [[Film/RoboCop2014 reboot]] doesn't leave him with much more (hand, lungs), though unlike the original, it also plays up the human aspect [[spoiler:up until it starts becoming inconvenient to the company...]]

** While the first three films had Terminators that seemingly lacked any organic part aside from the outer layer of flesh, the fourth one had the infiltration Terminator prototype having substantial wetware including a fully organic heart and a mostly-organic brain.
** The reason why the T-800 who protects Sarah Conner in ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'' looks like a 60+ year old Arnold Schwarzenegger and not the 30 year old original model? Because he overshot the mark when sent back in time and his organic parts have been aging. Just like human parts do. He's still the same unstoppable combat chassis underneath the aging meat, though.
** A better term for the Terminators would probably be "Hybrot" rather than cyborg. A hybrot (''Hybr''id rob''ot'') is essentially a "reverse cyborg", being a robot with living tissue grafted on, often cultured artificially rather than taken from a living organism. The term didn't really exist when the first few movies came out, though.

*** In ''Film/TerminatorGenisys'', the primary antagonistic Terminator is [[spoiler:the John Connor of the alternate future timeline who has been transformed into a Terminator that is, in his own words, "I'm not machine, not man... I'm more." John seems to have become a nanomachine colony capable of mimicking his original human appearance and others.]]

* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
** ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'': Data, an android, has organic parts grafted on, to a rather disturbing effect.
** The Borg, whose name is shortened from Cyborg to Borg. Seven of Nine from ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'', though she supposedly had most of her Borg implants removed, always has enough left to solve or create the crisis of the week.
* In ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness,'' Ash builds a fully functional artificial hand out of springs and a metal gauntlet. Why? Because he's Ash.
* ''Film/JasonX'': Thanks to being blown apart and a ContrivedCoincidence or two, Jason Voorhees becomes a cyborg.
* ''Film/ResidentEvilFilmSeries'': Alice appears to be this, post-''Film/ResidentEvilApocalypse'', at once point in ''Film/ResidentEvilExtinction'' being remotely shut down. Nemesis also appears to be some sort of cyborg, with his POV being shown in a blue-tinted [[RoboCam robo-vision]].
* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHstw5Z_AgE&feature=related 12:00]]'': A shadowy NGO, in order to develop Ghana, has the plan to turn a part of the Ghanaian population into cyborgs, and then they would act like mobile hospital, sucking out diseases with machines in their abdomens.
* In ''Film/IRobot'', [[spoiler:Detective Spooner]] is revealed to be one when he uses what turns out to be an {{Artificial Limb|s}} to fight off one of the evil robots. The cybernetic components include his entire left arm and shoulder.
* ''Film/TheSuperInframan'': The titular superhero used to be a human BadassNormal named Rayma, who allows himself to undergo cyborgification to become the Super Inframan in order to defeat an ancient demon monarch and her army of monsters.
* ''Film/HellraiserIIIHellOnEarth'': The Cenobite minions that Pinhead creates are all fused with modern technology. One shoots CD disks from his mechanical head, another has a projectile camera lodged in his skull, etc.
* ''Film/{{Elysium}}'': Max [=DaCosta=], the protagonist, has an older model Exosuit grafted to his body. Kruger has implants on his body to mount technology to, and facial nodes to interface with tech. Near the end of the film, [[spoiler:Kruger mounts a high tech exosuit on his implants.]]
* In ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'', Mecha-King Ghidorah which a cyborg kaiju from the future sent to the past to fight Godzilla.
** Before that there was Gigan, an alien amalgamation of flesh and robotics. It's not entirely clearly where the natural creature ends and the machine begins, except that he has clearly metal claws and spikes and a mechanical buzzsaw on his chest. In a later film, he's outfitted with rocket engines, a laser beam, and chainsaws in place of his claws.
* ''Film/HardcoreHenry'': Henry is predominantly mechnical now, his original self being a scientist working in augmentation technology that suffered an accident, forcing his wife to install his prototype limbs in Henry to save him. [[spoiler:Except that's not really the case; Henry is the prototype cybernetic super soldier created by Akan, with several more such soldiers waiting in the wings to be given his memories.]]
* ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheWinterSoldier'': Although [[spoiler:Bucky Barnes]] is [[NotUsingTheZWord never actually referred to as such in canon]], he does possess a robotic arm.
* ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyborg_Soldier Cyborg Soldier]]'': I.S.A.A.C. (Intuitive Synthetic Autonomous Assault Commando) is a genetically rebuilt -- live weapon of human destruction - prototype who escapes a military facility bent on super-being creation. The hunt is on for their agents to retrieve robotized-human I.S.A.A.C., who kicks endless butt on his way to an exposé.
* ''Film/AlitaBattleAngel'': Alita and most of the hunter-warriors and motorball players are cyborgs, along with much of the civilian population of Iron City.
* ''Film/{{Upgrade}}'': Cyborgs are very common in the film's future, to differing degrees. In the criminals' case, they have extensive gun implants, while Grey just has a single chip in his spine, though it lets him do a lot. People mention also that it's unusual to not have any implants.
* ''Film/MetalstormTheDestructionOfJaredSyn'': Baal has a retractable robotic claw arm that shoots green acid, and some kind of voice synthesizer that allows him to talk without moving his lips.
* ''Film/{{Horrorvision}}'': Sometimes, Horrorvision sends a little centipede-rat robot to Dex's location through nearby screens[[spoiler:, and through Dez's phone,]] to attack him.
* ''Film/TheLastSentinel'': Tallis and other soldiers from his unit had cybernetic eye implants. The Super Drones appear to be partly biological too, since when the last unmasks he has a face that although inhuman still looks organic.

** White Stars, ships, utilizing both Minbari and Vorlon tech, [[LivingShip may be speculated to be this]], though in this case both 'living' and 'cybernetic' parts are artificial.

* ''Series/TheBookOfBobaFett'': The Mods have all enhanced their bodies with cybernetic additions made from droid parts.

* ''Series/ClassOf09'': In 2034 Poet is equipped with a cybernetic eye to replace her natural one on the left side.

** Travis Verta, Chen, and Jaworski are all part of the super soldier program with implanted technology similar to Kiera's. Presumably there are some distinctions since her implants are the "police model" and their implants are the "military model" but this is never really explored in detail the series. (For example, Travis' CMR seemed to generate a slightly different set of capabilities when it was integrated with a CPS suit than Kiera's did -when he wore the suit it generated a shield around his head that could protect him from a point blank head shot while her suit was able to generate a wider, weaker field that deflected bullets in a wider area so that she could protect civilians around her). At the start of the series all of the super soldiers have had their implants turned off. Jaworski and Chen are killed before theirs are turned back on but Travis has his reactivated and seems to have at least limited access to some of the abilities of his implants. The super soldiers are also extremely strong, fast, and recover quickly but this seems to be based upon biological modifications and the use of special hormones rather than technology.

** The Cybermen. The extent to which they're cybernetic varies from story to story; in earlier stories, the Cybermen's biological hands are visible, while in the revived series they're simply human brains transplanted into robot bodies.
** Similarly we have the Daleks, who are usually assumed at first glance to be robots of some kind, but in actuality the Dalek itself is a small, squidlike creature piloting the famous mechanical exterior. It's not quite clear how integrated Daleks are into their "suits", so whether they're true cyborgs or simply machine operators is up for debate.\\\
Footage and descriptions by other characters imply that the Daleks are most likely somewhere between Mechas and cyborgs. The creature proper could exist outside the mechanical shell, but is very small and weak and must be augmented by the mechanical components. In their [[Recap/DoctorWhoS1E2TheDaleks introduction]], Ian Chesterton was able to "drive" a Dalek shell after discarding the creature. The expanded universe indicates that the Dalek creatures are so biologically degenerate that they have no functional digestive system, no vocal cords and even have difficulty breathing on their own; being implanted in their casings is vital for them to survive for any great length of time, and their nervous and circulatory systems are tied directly into the casing's systems. The Dalek voice is harsh and grating because it is entirely artificial.\\\
The "New Paradigm" Daleks introduced in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS31E3VictoryOfTheDaleks "Victory of the Daleks"]] have an organic eye visible at the end of their eyestalks. Apparently this is the eye of the internal creature, with its optic nerve extruded down a metal pipe.
** Davros. Right from his first appearance it's apparent that his chair is also a life support system and he will die within minutes without it. Since the chair can move without Davros needing to use a joystick or other controls it's safe to say it's tied into his nervous system in some way, and of course Davros also has an artificial eye embedded in his forehead. By [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E12TheStolenEarth "The Stolen Earth"]]/[[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E13JourneysEnd "Journey's End"]], his one functioning hand had been replaced with a mechanical one capable of shooting electricity from its fingertips.
** The fish-people in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E5TheUnderwaterMenace "The Underwater Menace"]], humans fitted with 'plastic gills' and artificial eyes that allow them to see better underwater.
** The Master had been turned into one by the Doctor in the non-canon "Scream of the Shalka".
** [[Recap/DoctorWho2007CSVoyageOfTheDamned "Voyage of the Damned"]]: Both characters are spoiler-tagged due to the fact that they live in a society with prejudice against cyborgs.

** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E10JourneyToTheCentreOfTheTARDIS "Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS"]] reveals a character who believed he was an android was in fact a cyborg who had [[TraumaInducedAmnesia lost his memories]] in the accident that led to him needing cybernetics implanted, and was then [[{{Gaslighting}} gaslighted]] by the other crewmembers, apparently [[ForTheEvulz out of boredom]].
** Psi from [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E5TimeHeist "Time Heist"]]. The Doctor describes him as having a mainframe in his head, it lets him wipe his own memory, interface with other systems and upload imprints of close to all the greatest bank criminals in existence making him guilty enough to distract the Teller from Clara.
** Nardole, secondary companion of Series 10, was rebuilt by the Doctor with a mixture of organic and cybernetic components after he was [[LosingYourHead decapitated]] in [[Recap/DoctorWho2015CSTheHusbandsOfRiverSong "The Husbands of River Song"]].

** It's been a while since this was anything like standard, and cyborgs are not a RecurringElement anymore, but the old-school Showa-era Riders were either (a) kidnapped by bad guys and put through UnwillingRoboticisation to serve them, escaped brainwashing, and kicked MonsterOfTheWeek butt (literally. [[FinishingMove RIDER]] [[CallingYourAttacks KIIIIIICK]]!) or (b) were upgraded by good guys to fight the rising evil organization, usually after losing a friend or family member (or several!) to the bad guys. If ''Film/KamenRiderG'' doesn't count, the last such Rider (for heroic ones) was Kotaro Minami of ''Series/KamenRiderBlack'' and ''Series/KamenRiderBlackRX,'' in 1988-89, although Series/KamenRiderDouble's [[spoiler:Philip is a person made of data who was used by the bad guys to create the Gaia Memories]], which is this trope in spirit.

* [[Creator/DisneyXD Disney XD's]] ''Series/LabRats'', and its spin-off, ''Series/LabRatsEliteForce'' feature its main co-protagonists, Adam, Bree, and Chase, as teenaged cybernetic/bionic superhumans, whom their original creator, Douglas Davenport, intended to use as bionic super-soldiers, to try and sell them off to different countries' governments for profit. [[note]] He also contemplated using them for more evil purposes as well, such as trying to use them to create his own army of henchmen and minions in order to see if he could take over the world as an evil dictator, so it's worth nothing that he wasn't doing it ''just'' for the money either. [[/note]] However his younger brother and one of the other main deuteragonists of the show, Donald Davenport, and his wife, Tasha Dooley-Davenport, stole them from Douglas and adopted them as their own children in order to raise them in a safer and more normal environment like regular human beings. As they grow older and as they go to high school, he then trains them to use their cybernetic and bionic powers for good, so that they can become a team of superheroes together, and learn how to balance their hero lives with their normal, human lives.
** Also Donald Davenport's stepson (his wife Tasha's son), Leo Dooley, also becomes a [[WeCanRebuildHim half-bionic superhuman]] when he's given a bionic arm and leg to treat the near-fatal, mortal injuries he suffered while trying to fight Douglas Davenport and his army of bionic superhumans.
*** [[spoiler:What's even more interesting is that Douglas Davenport, in the spin-off series ''Elite Force,'' actually has a HeelFaceTurn and becomes a ''good guy'' when he reconciles with his younger brother, Donald, and he actually decides to reform his army of bionic superhumans he created into an elite army of superheroes that can help different countries and law enforcement organizations to fight crime.]]
* ''Series/{{Lexx}}'' features some, though given its surrealistic setting all examples are questionable to some degree.
** Common robots in the first season are electronic heads on presumably organic bodies (bodies vanishes after strike of weapons that said to get rid only of organics.)
** Kai is a mix of decarbonized (i.e. transformed into silicon-based equivalent) flash and rarely seen mechanical parts (located in groin and usually hidden under his trousers).
** Mantrid, the BigBad of the second season, was this, firstly being human remnants, supported by advanced tech, and later transloaded into Insect's brain, again, fused with advanced tech.
** While not being Cyborg per se, Zev is artificially modified.
* ''Series/TheNevers'': Amalia gets attacked by a man that seems to be a {{steampunk}} cyborg, as a large part of his body is mechanical.
* ''{{Series/Pandora}}'': Pilar has implants which let her enter into the [[TheAlternet datastream]] by thought alone. Unfortunately, the implants are hacked at one point, with her body being taken over remotely.

* Professor Monster, from the Japanese ''[[Series/SpiderManJapan Spider-Man]]''.

** The Borg (see film section).
** Geordi [=LaForge=]'s VISOR and, later, cybernetic replacement eyes.
** Picard has an artificial heart.

** ''Todd the T-1000'' has the singer get a smashing arm and a saw implanted to intimidate his defective android butler into respecting him.
* The music video for Broken Bell's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVxTsXRjNTw&ob=av2e "The Ghost Inside"]] features a cyborg girl. Or maybe she's a gynoid?
* The music video for VIXX's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF8kySIcWNw "Error"]] features a tragic cyborg love story.
* On Music/GloryHammer's second album, ''Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards'', it is revealed that [[spoiler:The Hootsman]] is a cyborg powered by a neutron star.
* Music/JudasPriest: the title character of Painkiller is a cyborg MessianicArchetype who rides a [[CoolBike Dragon Motorcycle]] and saves Mankind from near extinction.
* Music/Insurge offer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHQqm6ijntg&list=PL1WadW1ZPiC0S8N3-pzAklmrng9ZWp5O9&index=4 ''Soul 4 Sale'']], in which the narrator sells his body parts to replace them with cyber-parts, until he is no more than a tank-centaur style tracked robot, which somehow still has a soul because no-one wants to buy that part.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NryVARqBBoY&list=PLkJIC2jUmVukux1afC8FeTyTAB_P5N-r_&index=56 ''Oh Injury'']] by Music/Rasputina discusses this possibility after a serious incident which renders a character largely helpless.

* ''Pinball/IronMaidenLegacyOfTheBeast'' has a multiball themed after a cyborg version of Eddie, [[Music/IronMaiden the band]]'s [[MetalBandMascot mascot]]. Fittingly, the display during the mode partially pulls its aesthetic from old computer systems, unlike the rest of the game.

[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
* Cibernético, the resident cyborg of the Universal Wrestling Association gym in Mexico. In Wrestling/{{AAA}} he would introduce a "Death Cyborg" or Muerte Cibernética in his efforts to defeat La Parka Jr.
* [[Wrestling/JohnCena The Prototype's]] [[TheGimmick gimmick]] in Ultimate Pro Wrestling, though he left in 2001 to later return in 2003 as a [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy thug]] out to get [[Wrestling/FrankieKazarian Frankie "The Future" Kazarian]].[[/folder]]

[[folder:Radio]]
* Spoofed with the Kenny Everett character Captain Kremmen who has bionic veins and a bionic left foot with a detachable big toe that converts into a space cannon.

* CyberPunk [[TabletopGames gaming]] is also rife with heavily cybered characters, such as the Street Samurai from ''TabletopGame/{{Shadowrun}}'' and the Solos from ''TabletopGame/{{Cyberpunk}} 2020''.
** ''Cyberspace'' (Iron Crown Enterprises), ''Cyberhero'' (TabletopGame/HeroSystem), ''TabletopGame/{{GURPS}} Cyberpunk'', ''Cyborg Commando'' (New Infinities Productions), ''Amazing Engine: Kromosome'' (Creator/{{TSR}})...
* ''TabletopGame/{{Rifts}}'' splits them into several classifications: Cybernetics are basic mechanical prosthetics and implants (which come in fully mechanical or [[OrganicTechnology Bio-Systems]]), while Bionics actually augment the user to combat-capable levels, and include weapons. Cyborgs come in three levels: Minor cybernetic/bionic enhancements, Partial Conversion (all limbs and some torso reinforcement) and Full Conversion (Entire body except for the brain and spinal column).

*** Dreadnoughts, heavily-armed [[MiniMecha bipedal mecha]] which house Marines too physically broken for baseline combat but too strong-spirited to die, secured inside a life-support sarcophagus which is hooked up to the Dreadnought body's motive systems.

** The Necrons appear fully robotic at first glance, but are actually full-body cyborgs created from a long-extinct alien race. [[spoiler:Though ''Devourer'' reveals that some of them are actually robots programmed with the thought patterns of long dead Necrontyr.]]

** Orks make extensive use of cybernetics, partly to make themselves tougher and partly because their combat-heavy lifestyles tend to cost them limbs and eyes more often than not; individuals with extensive cybernetic implants are called cyborks. Due to their extremely tough physiology they can survive having extremely crude and improbable cybernetics added (and in one instance, replacing a large portion of their brain). Also, some Ork tribes make use of gigantic boars, some of which are cybernetically modified into, you guessed it, cyboars.
* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'':
** Upon birth, the denizens of Phyrexia are immediately gutted with most of their body parts replaced with mechanical ones. Even the robots they build themselves contain organic components. Someone dissecting one of their artifact creatures pointed out: "its as though someone started out with a living thing, and then replaced bits piecemeal until there was nothing of the original left."
** The denizens of the Esper shard of the Alara plane use a [[{{Unobtainium}} metallic substance with numerous useful properties called etherium]] in making themselves human/mechanical hybrids.
** The ''Unstable'' joke set introduces a proper cyborg type. Its represented by the Order of the Widget, a group of well-intentioned but clearly insane artificers who replace body parts to function better. Its founder started this because he wanted a toaster.
* ''TabletopGame/FadingSuns'' has the option to outfit characters with cybernetic parts. What makes it interesting is that the available enhancements run the full technological spectrum, from simple metal and ceramic limb replacements, to synthetic flesh, to nanobots.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Deadlands}}'': Deadlands: Hell on Earth'' subverts, inverts, reverts, and blipverts the trope. Basically, in the universe it's impossible to make enough room in a human body to insert any relevant cybernetics. However, there is plenty of room in an undead body since the undead don't need any bits other than the brain anyway. This has the added advantage that with a bit of MadScience jiggery-pokery you can run the machine parts on the spiritual energies used to create the undead.
* ''TabletopGame/MageTheAscension'' from the TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness includes Iteration X, "mages" who can do impossible things with cybernetics and robotics. Besides generally being cyborgs themselves, they frequently make use of [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} HIT Marks]] against their enemies. Occasionally other science-focused mages, even in the Traditions, also create cyborgs. The degree to which CyberneticsEatYourSoul varies with the amount of replacement and the manner in which your storyteller enforces the Resonance and Paradox rules. As a nice nod to reality, people with any kind of cybernetic enhancements have to get a [[RequiredSecondaryPowers full-body reinforcement]].
* ''TabletopGame/{{Paranoia}}'': Humans in the robot-loving Corpore Metal secret society often get cybernetic replacements. {{Inverted|Trope}} by Corporganic, whose robotic members sometimes get organic replacements ("orgcybing").
* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' has these in the Alchemicals sourcebook. Any Alchemical with an Obvious charm qualifies, as well as many that don't.
* ''TabletopGame/NewHorizon'' has the Prometheans.
** Oddly, the cybernetic enhancements are stated to be tailor-made to an individual's biochemistry, preventing both interchangeable prosthetics and cybernetic enhancement to the genetically altered Medeans. [[TechnologyMarchesOn Hmm.]]
* The ''TabletopGame/D20Modern'' supplement ''d20 Future'' has some coverage of this topic and ''Cyberscape'' expands on it.
** Cyberscape also adds alternate cybernetics, including Golemtech and Necrotic Implants ({{Golem}} and [[{{Necromancer}} Necromancy]] based cybernetics respectively), for a {{Magitek}} twist on the cyborg.
* ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'': Implants and augments are available. They range from basic replacement limbs for crippled veterans to full-body musculature replacement with sub-dermal armor plating. The more extreme replacements are often only available to government operatives, [[PowerDegeneration and typically come with a host of horrible side effects]] like the aforementioned muscles requiring surgery whenever damaged and constant painkiller usage. The genocidal Word of Blake invested heavily in cybernetics, and the invading Clans likewise had a fondness for overt replacement cybernetics without the usual faux-flesh, further stigmatizing cyborgs.
* ''TabletopGame/EclipsePhase'': Basically everyone, apart from the comparatively few [[{{Muggles}} flats]] in the Jovian Republic, has some sort of cybernetic enhancement, even if it's only a basic [[BrainComputerInterface mesh insert]]

* ''TabletopGame/BleakWorld'' has the Cyborg class of the Aliens race. It has little to no infiltration ability (at its highest it can roll 1d10 on sneak checks). But they have very highcombat and science abilities, making them more useful for small scale skirmish and retrieval games. There is also [[SecondLawMyAss The Android]] class of the experiment race, which was created by a MadScientist using the bodies of [[TeensAreMonsters dead teenagers]] and cybernetic implants.
* ''TabletopGame/AnimaBeyondFantasy'': High Arbiter Arkeid -- actually a Sylvain (light elf), not a human. Few details, however, are given on what her implants are.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Warmachine}}'' has Magitek cybernetics used by the Cryx, which are made of machinery and dead tissue, making all manner of cyborg undead; and their sometime-allies the Cephalyx, who won't wait for you to die, and have perfected their implants to enhance and mind-contorl their living captives, as well as equipping them for combat. There are others, including a massive farrow beast which is basically a steam-powered borg whose designer had some trouble getting anything other than pulled pork out of the experimental process.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Malifaux}}'' has steam-powered cyborgs working with one faction.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'' is mostly set in a standard medieval fantasy world, but it veers into ScienceFantasy in the high-tech nation of Numeria. Some of the more wealthy and powerful denizens are likely to have cybernetic upgrades.

%%* ''WebAnimation/QuirkyMisadventuresOfSoldineTheCyborg''
%%** The titular protagonist.
%%** His EvilKnockoff, [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot Robosol]].
* ''WebAnimation/ManiManiPeople'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be-LXebumOE Alisa]] lost her arms and legs in a truck accident. A company later contacted her and they were replaced with cyborg parts.
* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': General James Ironwood, a character [[FairyTaleMotifs loosely]] based on the [[Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz Tinman]]. While it initially seems that only his right arm has been replaced, ClothingDamage during the Volume 3 finale reveals that the [[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe entire]] right half of his body is mechanical. He is a major supporter of his kingdom's technological research, and provides Yang with a custom-made replacement after she loses her right arm in battle.

* ''WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss'': Even though the clown Fizzarolli was just a regular imp growing up, by the time of the series, not only are there robotic replicas of him, but his real body seems a lot like those robots too -- he's at least got extendable mechanical arms and legs.

* ''Webcomic/ABeginnersGuideToTheEndOfTheUniverse'': Snuffy and Chairman Jack gradually become more and more extensively cyborgs as their COMPLEXITY increases and the Everyman fuses them with gears, weapons and mechanical components.

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'':
** Shows up as part of a [[Franchise/StarTrek Borg]] parody. Riff and Torg actually become cyborgs for a couple strips, but have all their cybernetic implants taken away when they [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth get kicked out of the Collective]].
** The Mecha Easter Bunny is created partly based on the original Easter Bunny's DNA, but is only organic on the surface, much like a Franchise/{{Terminator}}.
** Dr. Crabtree hasn't got any specific part replaced with cybernetics but is so full of integrated nanites (microscopic robots) throughout that she is capable of things impossible for humans but would go splat if exposed to an EMP.
* ''Webcomic/UnitM'': Meteor is [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/4 part-Monster, part-machine]]. He can also [[http://unitmcomics.thecomicseries.com/comics/9 activate]] battle armor.
* ''Webcomic/{{Sidekicks}}'' gives us Metaroid and Goldrush. The former gets [[CurbStompBattle humiliated]] by the protagonist twice, despite getting an upgrade, and the latter is a mechanical creature made entirely of 24k gold (his only organic part is his brain). In season 2 we have Alex [[spoiler:from the "Alex Project". The cyborgs from the Alex line are special in that they also possess superpowers]].

* ''Webcomic/{{Harkovast}}'': Shogun has a mechanical hand that can crush metal. How this was constructed using the medieval technology levels of Harkovast has yet to be explained.
* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'': The [[OurGiantsAreDifferent giantess]] Djali ("Jolly") is given cybernetic parts to help her move and respirate at a size that would otherwise run up against the SquareCubeLaw. Since the Nemesites explicitly have technology to reduce an object's mass and to manipulate gravity, this isn't too unreasonable.
* ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'': Mike has [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/050412c half his body replaced with robotic parts.]] Typically, he wonders whether he's robotic or a freeloader.
* ''Webcomic/TheWaterPhoenixKing'': The lunar ambassador's bodyguard in Chapter 2 has both arms replaced with densely-folded ribbons of razor-edged, thought-controlled metal. It's explicitly described as {{Magitek}} and other artifacts of the same sort exist.
* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
** Vriska gets a robotic arm (also made by Equius) after her original one gets blown off. Aradia may be an additional case, as she spends a good part of the plot as a ghost-sprite inhabiting a realistic robot (again, made by Equius).
** After Tavros was confined to a wheelchair due to KillerGameMaster Vriska, Kanaya [[ChainsawGood sawed off his legs while he was sleeping]] so Equius could fit him with newly-built robot legs instead. In the Dream Bubbles, a number of ghosts show that his previous universe counterpart Rufioh went through a similar process in some timelines -- except that his case involved his head being grafted onto a mechanical horse body; all those instances of Rufioh seem to hate their life as a result.

* In ''Webcomic/BicycleBoy'', the story follows a mysterious cyborg named Poet. About 70% of his body is mechanical, excluding his head and part of his torso.
* ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'': Several characters.

** One of the background members of the company was a member of a species who had one mind occupying two bodies connected by an organic radio link who had a [[SubspaceAnsible hypercomm]] node installed to extend his range, allowing him to pilot two tanks at once.
** The most stand-out example would be [=DoytHaban=], a mercenary who had an extensive upgrade system, including the Haban AI.
** Haban II is an... odd example. Originally just a gate clone of [=DoytHaban=] he got shot in the head, killing Doyt but leaving the Haban AI unaffected. Medical technology allowed the missing brain tissue to be regrown but as a blank slate, allowing Haban to... move in.

'''Ennesby:''' It's '''awesome!''' It makes you meat-sacks a lot more like me.\\

* In ''Webcomic/CwynhildsLoom'', Cwynhild is a cybernetically enhanced human, though her enhancements are mostly internal and not visible to the naked eye.
* In ''Webcomic/ABeginnersGuideToTheEndOfTheUniverse'', the Everyman's two companions, Snuffy the pooch and Chairman Jack the giant sparrow, are gradually upgraded by him (with his RealityWarper powers) into more and more powerful cyborgs.
* ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty'': [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2011/02/06/and-shes-all-out-of-bubblegum/ Nin Wah]], a red panda with a [[ArtificialLimbs cybernetic arm]] that can convert into an ArmCannon.
* ''Webcomic/NotAVillain'': The Dude refers to Kleya as one. When we see her in Reality, she does appear to have metal implants in her spine and the back of her hands.
* ''Webcomic/AmongTheChosen'' has secondary cyborg characters Tantek and Xand, as well as a host of minor ones, though it tends to blur the line between this and BioAugmentation.
* ''Webcomic/DresdenCodak'': Kimiko Ross cyborgified herself after [[spoiler:having received very severe injuries]] during the ''Hob'' StoryArc.
* ''Webcomic/AutumnBay'': In the BadFuture, [[OmnidisciplinaryScientist Dr. Deacon]] has a number of [[EyepatchOfPower cybernetic]] [[ArtificialLimbs enhancements]].
* ''Webcomic/HeroesUnite'': Bombshell has a cybernetic arm.
* ''Webcomic/ThePetriDish'' features Bob who is mainly a robot but has a brain, digestive system, and urinary system, Irene who is another robot with a brain, and [=iBall=] who is a robot with a whale's eye.
* ''Webcomic/CassiopeiaQuinn'': Cyborgs are very common in the setting, ranging from people with comparatively minor augmentations (such as Katya Kreuz's mechanical limbs) to much more heavily modified ones (such as Dr. Botz and her bevy of augmentations) to full-conversion 'borgs with only minor organic components left (such as Zeke, who's down to a mostly organic brain in a fully robotic body, and Motor Minx, who has a partly organic head and is entirely mechanical from the neck down).

%%* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': Stan becomes one in the a possible future.

* ''WesternAnimation/ChallengeOfTheGoBots'': The title characters are cyborgs of the BrainInAJar variety, being organic brains installed in TransformingMecha bodies.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheNewAdventuresOfSpeedRacer'': Professor Tick-Tock is described as half-man half-machine.

* ''WesternAnimation/VoltronTheThirdDimension'': During a climactic battle prior to the start of the series, Lotor was badly injured and had to be rebuilt as a cyborg.

* ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'': The Irkens takes this one step further; they are implanted with back-mounted devices known as "paks" immediately following decanting. The pak contains the actual mind of the Irken; their body is essentially only meat used by the pak to interact with its surroundings (a good analogy would be to compare the pak with the hard drive of a computer; the irken's brain is the processor). We also have the more classical mechanical-limbs-and-eye Sergeant Hobo in the Hobo 13 episode, and the Irken Tak, who also sports a cable implanted in her head (which may be the source of her [[MindControl neural suggestion power]].
* ''WesternAnimation/MightyDucksTheAnimatedSeries'': Dr. Droid (AKA [[StevenUlyssesPerhero Otto Maton]]) had most of his body replaced with mechanical parts (Not because he was in an accident, but because he "got a kick out of it").

** ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerbTheMovieAcrossThe2ndDimension'': The Platyborg is an evil, brainwashed cyborg Perry from another dimension.
** ''Recap/PhineasAndFerbTalesFromTheResistance'' includes several Animal Borgs, such as Pandaborg and Chihuahuaborg.

*** [[MadScientist Doctor Arkeville]]. At first he has ''just'' a mechanical right hand as well as the upper part of his skull. In the episode ''Countdown to Extinction'', after he attempts to double cross Starscream in Cybertron he gets inconscious due to an electric discharge and [[spoiler:awakens with half of his body cyborgized and strapped to a mechanical wheelchair]]

* Vilgax in the first series of ''Franchise/Ben10'' was badly wounded in the pilot and spent most of the first season in a healing tank. He got impatient and made himself into a cyborg so he could take the Omnitrix personally. This had the added benefit of making him powerful enough to [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomp]] the fledgling hero. By the time of ''Alien Force'' he had fully recovered and ditched the cybernetics.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'', [[RobotMaster Olaf]] turns Stumpy into a cyborg.
* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]]. According to "The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy", Rick's body ([[spoiler:or at least the body he currently has]]) contains a lot of advanced cybernetics. It's never said whether his [[spoiler:original]] body was this, though it'd admittedly explain a lot of his unnatural strength. "Rest and Ricklaxation" resulted in Rick's body being killed off by Toxic Rick, but his quick thinking allowed him to grow a new body out of Toxic Rick himself, which brought him back to full human, but ''then'' he gets his right arm ripped off in "The [=ABCs=] of Beth", but has a replacement robotic arm ready to immediately replace it. Within the same episode, he's already grown back his organic arm.
* ''WesternAnimation/Sealab2021'':
** The first episode centers around the cast debating whether they'd turn themselves into cyborgs or not. [[spoiler:Quinn is later revealed to be one.]]
--->"Would you put your brain in a robot body?"
** A later episode has Murphy and Sparks blackmail Quinn into turning them into a cyborg (sharing one body), with the rest following suit after they get jealous. However, since Quinn is drunk, their bodies...are kind of lame.
** The episode centered around the premiere of TheMovie has as ''Tinfins'''s central premise Quinn turning a shark into a cyborg... and why it's a ''bad'' idea turning one of nature's predators into a killing machine.
* ''TheSecretFilesOfTheSpyDogs'': Recurring antagonist feline Catastrophe lost his tail when he ran into a rocking chair factory. He had it replaced with a mechanical prosthesis.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Roboroach}}'': Rubin Roach becomes the titular Roboroach after having a bunch of microchips inserted into him, and getting shocked after jumping into an electrical wall outlet.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': One episode has Hermes gradually have his body parts replaced with cybernetics until only his brain is left. Zoidberg collects Hermes' body parts and manages to restore his organic body when his brain is replaced. Unfortunately, the robot brain turns out to be that of [[AxeCrazy Roberto]].

* ''WebOriginal/OrionsArm'': Present and very diverse, ranging all over the scale of biology-vs-technology.

The science of grafting mechanical/electronic enhancements on organic creatures, oftentimes by [[ArtificialLimbs replacing limbs with robotic parts]] or even mechanical weapons (such as an ArmCannon), for instance, though often it's only called cybernetics if it's a smidge more complicated.
