While thinking about Megaman. I think that if Bon and Teasel are brothers and tron is thier sister why are they machines. Are they cyborgs or something? How can you conceive a cyborg lol.

Well Bon is up for debate, but Teisel is definitely NOT a machine*. He's shown out of his armor in the intro to MML2. And...there you have it. *At least not a machine in more of a sense than everybody else is (what with that Beta/Carbon thing that absolutely threw me off ).

Here's the secret, straight from Teisel Bonne's mouth when I interviewed him last month for Gentlepirates Quarterly:
"Am I a cyborg? Certainly not. This sky pirate's all man, thank you very much. I don't think I've ever been asked such a thing in my entire---
What? You want to know about Bon?
Okay, here's the story, although I warn you, it's very long and complicated. You see, just after our loving, lamented parents were---"
The Gesellschaft is rocked by an explosion. A Servbot's voice comes over the loudspeaker: "We're under attack!"
"Oh, dear not again. We'll have to continue this discussion later."
Teisel left, and we never did get to finish that interview.

Ugh! That typical of teasel! And when you use used parts instead of buying new ones...

It's Teisel, BTW.
Anyways, I believe that Bon is at least an ENTIRE robot. If not that, then he's a baby inside of a big head or something.

Aaron, I think I love you. For the partial interview, at least.
*shifty GLANCE!*
Anyhow, a friend of mine, Keet, told me her thoughts about Bon, which I agree with: Bon is a baby but the real Bon is either 1.) a brain only or 2.) a vegetable body in a robot shell. I think Tron might have built it? Think of all the neurological hook ups though!
Yet again, seeing how she could create little robots that can feel "pain," simulate love and eat...

Bon is probably an AI, he's surrounded by a big metal armor thing.

Remember, Legends uses the kind of animated storytelling where those kinds of distinctions aren't really that important.
Bon can be Tron and Teisel's brother, regardless of the fact that he doesn't really look like a human and is far too big be to be a pre-verbal toddler.

And let's not forget! Bon has facial expressions, like he's dizzy when you blast him for the first time.

I agree with SIM, bon is a baby inside a robot. After the Bonnes' parents died, nobody could look after Bon, so Tron made Bon a mechanical suit that would protect his fragile baby body when they do pirate stuff. As for "Babuu," I think that that is just the noise that the telepathic communicator device implanted into Bon makes every time he tries to tell Tron, Tiesel, or the servebots something through thought.

I'm for the baby inside a big head unless Tron has done something really special for Bon to be above the servbots (Outside of being big.). Notice that a lot of characters in Legends have mechanical implants and the like? I think Bon is just an extreme case.
I still say Bon's a baby. Since we don't understand what he is saying word for word, I picture him conveying simple ideas and such through his babuuing. I don't see him writing up diabolical plans for world domination, but who knows what he could be up to? His lines are pretty limited anyway. For all we know, he could be saying the same thing over and over or reciting a line from a Shakespherian play.
... We should've been able to see Bon's room in MoTB. It would have probably cleared a lot of things up about him.
As for the facial expressions, I think it's an anime thing and from a technical standpoint, probably done with the same, uh, for lack of a better word, stuff (mechanics?) that is used for the servbots. I imagine you can hook up a brain to it the same way you can hook up a computer.
...
Okay, I don't think Capcom has meant for us to delve that deep into the series but they left so many loose ends.

I totally agree, Pork Chop. I think we probably aren't supposed to know exactly what Bon is. That being said, I don't think the game's producers necessarily intended to leave us hanging for quite so long (make a new GAME, you S.O.B.'s!), either.
Know who else is a cyborg?
Loath! Note the mechanical nose. Although that seems like a bit of a lugubrious implant.

Then if you say Loath is a cybord, then so is Teisel and Barrel. Just take a look at their eyes. It's unnatural.
