Cyborgs?????

Yeah, I never saw the chibi-Tron in there, either. I always assumed that the adults were Teisel's parents and that he was the boy.

I'm pretty sure that family portrait are the parents of Teisel and Tron and here's why:



I'm not sure entirely what the Japanese says but that little baby is Tron and the assumed is that the kid in the picture is Teisel when he's 13/14ish.

Where did you get that picture?

I remember digging it up on the capcom Japanese website. Not sure how because it was all in Japanese and I couldn't read it for beans but I dinked around and ran across this in an official art section. I also believe it used to be in Legends Station if it isn't already under official art.

Umm... no I don't think so.

[booboo]

Is it offical?


I liked to know.

my first post on this board, so hiya.

The three games simply abound with cyborgs, and considering the hazardous nature of digging and pirating, I'd say it's no wonder. Traps, Reaverbots, explosives, rockfalls and heavy machinery are all wonderfull ways to lose a body part or two or three if you aren't really careful.

People with obvious replacement body parts are:
Teisel - Eyes
Glyde - Ears
Lex Loath - Nose. hands
Barrel - Eyes, ears, portion of cranium
Uncle Digg - Ears, one eye, both hands
Joe (Roll's father) - Right arm at shoulder
Digger's Guildmaster - Ears, nose, hands
...and the little old man hanging around the sonic weapon in MML2 has a mechanical arm too.

I'd say Dantz is a perfect example of someone who has lots of artificial parts waiting for him in the future; As clumsy and impulsive as he is, he's either going to end up hurt alot or dead alot. Sure hope Pearl doesn't mind a boyfriend with metal parts - I bet they can be kinda chilly...

Now Teisel is indeed a cyborg of sorts, but not to the extent that he seemed to be when wearing that armor of his. I thought his ears might be artificial at first, but we see his real ones at the press conferrence on the Sulpher
Bottom.

Bon Bonne on the other hand is another question - I don't think he is a cyborg or a robot. I think he's a baby driving a giant robot built for him by his loving sister. It allows him to contribute to the family business while staying relatively safe inside an armored shell. After all, the Bonnes need all the help they can get, but they don't want their littlest sibling hurt...

When MML1 came out, I thought for sure that Trigger was a cyborg, or at least an android with removable parts. I can see that the devlopement artists had that going on from the early concept drawings, but somehow got away from the whole idea, or just glossed it over due to lack of time and budget. So he's left with weapons that seem to take the place of his arms when he's in combat, but seem to magically disappear when he isn't.
This isn't official, only some fanart:

WHOA!!!!

Wow, that pic's awesome! *Saves to computer*

Too bad it's only fan art. If it were official, we'd finally know something real for a change.

[Glyde]

Intresting point. ;D

Well, since Trigger's an aritificial life-form, it's not impossible, is it? But it's hard to call him a "cyborg."

I'd say he is a result of genetic engineering, using a advanced method of DNA models, so he could be a Trigger model purifier do to his DNA, thats what I think.
