And there are hundreds more missing from the SF lit of the 40s and 50 s and 60s and 70s .  Molly millions and Deirdre came to mind so I put them in, but there are so many, in all kinds of stories .--AlainV 03:06, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Seriously, somebody throw up a pic of Arnold / Terminator on his motorcycle from T2, or something along those lines, at the front of the article to demonstrate what a "cyborg" is.  That would rule.  Because people want to know what a fictional cyborg is.

Ask anybody who's been reading science fiction for the last forty years and they'll tell you that the terminator machines aren't cyborgs, they're robots, or if you prefer androids, very much like Data in Star Trek.  They call themselves cyborg within the movies but that status is debatable since traditional science fiction sources(that is, specialized reference works on science fiction like printed encyclopedias of science fiction) note that a cyborg has to be a human or another organic being to start with.  This status has been debated over and over again in the cyborg article and the final decision was to have (for that Wikipedia article) an incredibly wide definition of cyborg which includes people who wear glasses or any other type of prosthesis as well as robots/androids who call themselves cyborgs. So, to conclude, you might as well put up a pic of anybody wearing normal glasses, from any given movie or other media, as an example of a cybrog at the top of this article.  There's lots of open source ones in wikimedia. --AlainV (talk) 13:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: a photo or cartoon of 1970s Steven Austin - bionic man or the bionic woman would be a good example of a cyborg.--Mark v1.0 (talk) 21:58, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

message: I considered adding this, but I'm not sure:  
:* Nog, from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," who was wounded in battle and lost his leg which was replaced by a cybernetic replacement.  His replacement leg was mentioned mainly in an episode dealing with his recovery from the injury.  Unlike other types of cybernetic implants, the leg is more like a highly advanced prosthesis.
I didn't add it since the leg seemed more like a prosthetic leg than a true cybernetic implant, despite being refereed to as cybernetic.  Furthermore that episode of DS9 (and I can't remember the name) seemed more about Nog dealing with the stress of warfare, more than his identity. Jsonitsac 03:42, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

message: "Geordi La Forge" probably should be removed "List of fictional Cyborgs." And I don't know of any sorce stating Jean-Luc Picard lost his arm to the Borg. Kcops 19:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Would Master Chief be considered a cyborg? He has cybernetic implants. The reason I ask is because there's a discussion going on at Talk:Halo 3 and there seems to be a disagreement on if the Chief is a cyborg, and if he is thought to be one, he should probably get added here.

message: So, for the second time I have taken Inspector Gadget off the list. I admit it's been a while since I've seen the show, but as far as I can recall, he was a gut with a bunch of gizmos hidden in his coat and a helicopter in his hat. I don't think that makes him a cyborg as none of it seemed to be integrated into his body. He even had to talk to the gizmos to get them to work (saying "Go Go Gadget copter", etc), suggesting they were not part of him, but just attached to him. So I guess my question is, does somebody know something I don't, or is it just that some editors aren't quite getting what a cyborg is? Beeblbrox (talk) 19:13, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh yeah, I forgot about the neck thing, I guess he is a cyborg. I notice Dr. Claw is also on the list. I never saw the movies, but on the TV show all hou ever saw was a metal hand petting the cat. Was it a cyborg hand, a metal glove or gauntlet, or just an old fashioned metal artificial hand? Anyone have an answer? Beeblbrox (talk) 21:35, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The articles says "there is no indication as yet that she has any actual human components." All Terminators have human skin and hair, over their robotic bodies.--203.219.225.10 (talk) 00:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

message: So this tag proposing a merger with List of fictional cyborgs has been here for a while with no discussion. Since this article is a list of fictional cyborgs and so is that one, I think it's a fine idea, although it will be time consuming as the this list is organized by format and the other is chronological. I think that the title of the other article is more accurate, this is a list after all, but that organizing by media format is more user-friendly than using chronological order. Thoughts, anyone?

thread_title:  Merger 

message: I knew the criteria for being a Cyborg was becoming more and more lax, but I don't think WEARING something makes you a Cyborg. The HEV may provide him with Morphine and Oxygen, but thats really all thats confirmed about it. Unless its revealed that he has special implants or something to link him to the suit, I don't he and the suit could be considered one and the same, which is the definition of Cyborg. It doesn't even fit the relaxed "have machines attached to you" requirements. So can we really consider him a Cyborg?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.25.105 (talk) 07:40, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
