I remember an entry on trope pages I think were related to Adaptive Ability or some other trope about teleporter merging. It was about a pilot episode or film that aired on one of the older alphabet channels like CBS, NBC, or maybe even PBS. Not sure if i misplaced where the entry was or it got deleted.
It was about a man who accidentally combined with a space probe due to a teleporter. Though outwardly human, every time he was distressed the probe responded by extending mechanical parts that reacted violently to the cause, that evolved the more often it happened. It gradually ate away his humanity and replaced his mind with the cold intellect of the machine. Found it on YouTube, but it's buried in my history and I can't recall the program it's from.
