Oct 11, 2017 · The first of the two is Cyborg 2087, with a lanky, Lincoln-like but quite cybernetic emissary from, yes, the year 2087, on a mission to stop the development of tech that’s turned his society into an Orwellian nightmare of mental oppression and general mirthlessness.

But he fits the description nonetheless – if Webster’s defines cyborg as “a person whose body contains mechanical or electrical devices and whose abilities are greater than the abilities of normal humans,” then the not-so-good doctor fits right in. Not only does he sport a pair of stylish black r...
Despite its misleading title, the robot of The Robot vs. The Aztec Mummyis actually a cyborg – one of the cardboard box and spray paint variety, but a cyborg nonetheless.
