Does Not Illustrate: Badass Transplant

All the suggestions in 17 look like armour to me... and I thought mechanical limbs were out on account of 'cyborg'?

17.5 looks like it could be either completely artificial or muscle wrapped in armor...that ambiguity is what leans me to support it. The Sesshomaru pic doesn't show enough of the arm.

Pretty sure you can have mechanical limbs without being a Cyborg. Less all RL amputees with a prosthesis are now considered "Cyborgs"

I haven't read the trope page in detail, but IMO the bionics have to be permanently integrated with the body for the term "cyborg" to truly apply.

(Technically the aritificial parts need to be cybernetic (Hence the Cyb prefix, for Cyber)

Eitherway all the images are magical versions.

Eitherway, Cyborgs would be a Subtrope of this, so it doesn't make them not an example, technically speaking.

Hell, re-read the description. A gauntlet would be an example. The description lists someone getting a sword as an example.

Technically, someone with a pacemaker is a cyborg. It's just not what we normally think of as one.

Clock is set.

Crowner?

But first, isn't there agreement to pull the current? It's still not, after all.

ETA: Unless you meant a crowner for the pull, but there hasn't been any objection that I could see.

We have enough consensus to pull the current; if we don't choose a replacement, then I'll do it when the clock expires unless someone goes ahead and does it. I suppose we can do a crowner, but I've gone back through the thread and I'm no longer impressed with any of the suggestions.

The clock's up. Hearing nothing else, the pic is pulled and the page is tagged. Locking up.
