Unwilling Roboticisation	comment	Science fiction often portrays cybernetics as the way forward. Replacing lost limbs, augmenting abilities, even allowing body transplants. But on occasion, a story involves characters who don't want to surrender their fleshy bodies. And that can be handy to know for a villain. This is normally done by dictator and other control freak types. This can be to suppress rebellion, to remove individuality, forcibly convert someone into a minion, or to create a robot army — or a combination of the above. This is a common plot of The Assimilator. Related to Cybernetics Eat Your Soul. Can sometimes be portrayed as a very special kind of Body Horror, akin to zombification (especially in cases where the procedure begins with brain harvesting). Also see We Can Rebuild Him and Emergency Transformation. May also occur as Serial Prostheses if the conversion isn't done all at once. Some devices that inflict roboticisation use nanomachines, resulting in graphic scenes of the person being slowly mechanized while screaming in pain as they are being rebuilt into machines. May be resisted with Heroic Willpower. May lead to Sheep in Wolf's Clothing. See also Man in the Machine, Full-Conversion Cyborg and Hypno Trinket. Compare and contrast Brain Uploading.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_10321784	comment	In Disgaea 4 all of the generic classes have introductory cutscenes which play when you create a new one to add to your team. The cyborg class's cutscene shows a female fighter being subject to Alien Abduction, before being Strapped to an Operating Table and transformed into one. This happens to Jennifer in the first game, at the hands of Kurtis. It proves to be reversible. It also mostly seems to be limited largely to mind control; the demons were expecting a giant robotic Jennifer stomping a city, but the reality is disappointing.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_13349140	comment	The second major arc of the IDW Sonic comics is built around this, as Eggman unleashes a viral plague which causes all those infected to transform into mindless robot slaves, or "Zombots". A major part of the arc's drama is that Sonic himself is infected, and has to fight to keep the transformation at bay. Most of his allies are not so lucky: three are Devoured by the Horde, while the rest opt to sacrifice themselves and Hold the Line until they succumb. Because Eggman released the virus in an imperfect state, he eventually loses control of the Zombots to his rivals, the Deadly Six. It takes the combined power of Sonic, Silver, the Chaos Emeralds, and a mysterious warpstone to finally cure and de-roboticize the world.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_1858fe06	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) takes it more literally. The furry holocaust that served as the backstory of Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) (the Trope Namer) the was the result of Robotnik using the invention, known as the Roboticizer, to turn Mobians into mindless slaves to do his bidding. Ironically, the original Roboticizer wasn't even created by Robotnik; it was created by Charles Hedgehog, Sonic's uncle, as a way of keeping critically ill or injured patients alive until a cure could be found. When the whole "mindless automaton" thing couldn't be resolved, Charles dumped it as a failed experiment... then Robotnik stole the machine, using it as the basis for his takeover, and decided Charles should become his very first mindless slave. Just to pile on the tragedy, Charles's original test subject was his brother (and Sonic's father), who had been mortally wounded. To this day, Jules is the last remaining "Robian", because de-roboticizing him would restore his old wounds and kill him. In one of the earliest issues, Sonic saved Bunnie Rabbot from a roboticizer, leaving the lower half of her body and one of her arms roboticized. She would become a powerful member of the Freedom Fighters from then on.note In SatAM, Bunnie was a childhood friend of Sally Acorn who was partially roboticized in a Noodle Incident prior to the beginning of the series. Much later in the series, she would be fully de-roboticized. After the Genesis Wave II Cosmic Retcon following the Worlds Collide crossover event, she was again partially roboticized in the new reality. An early issue featured an alternate-universe Robotnik, driven to desperation by his imminent defeat, turning the roboticizer on himself — resulting in one of the creepier villains produced by that series. In issue #39, this happened to Sonic himself, and it became the focus of the Mecha Madness arc. To fight him, the good guys roboticised Knuckles. Yes, it was awesome. It's a complete inversion with Overlanders/Humans in that if the subject isn't willing to be roboticized, they'll turn into an immobile metal statue. Sally was roboticised willingly. She wore a chip to allow her to keep her free will, escape, and study the effects. Unfortunately, the damn thing fell off right before she was changed. Bad stuff happened. It happened to her again in issue #230, though for rather noble reasons; when the events of Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Collide caused a Continuity Reboot, she was de-roboticised by the Cosmic Retcon. Inverted with an alien race that developed a process to convert robotic lifeform into organic lifeforms and carrying an idiot ball caused genocide when they used it on an alien robotic race whose world couldn't support organic life (Sonic had to defend an alien who used the process to reverse the roboticization on the current victims of unwilling conversion and was due to be executed for it as the prohibition against the use of the technology made no distinctions between returning organic beings who'd been unwilling converted and forcibly converting robotic lifeforms). And in Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Collide, Robotnik teams up with Dr. Wily. Finding that entities from one of their universes have a hard time travelling to the other universe alone, they solve the conundrum by creating a Crossover Combo Villain of two worlds: Sonic's captured friends turned with Mega Man robotics into the "Roboticized Masters", each with a different Robot Master weapon. However, a combination of Sonic's Spin Dash and Mega Man's Charged Shot and weapon copy system can turn them back to normal. Tails was the only one restored this way, as he modified Mega Man's Mega Buster so that the Charge Shot mimics Sonic's Spin Dash and do the work in one step. In Sonic the Hedgehog/Mega Man: Worlds Unite, this happens to Sonic and Mega Man themselves, turning them into Sonic Man and M'Egga Man respectively. At the point the Archie run ended, Robotnik was looking for a new power source to build a new roboticizer.

Both groups can convert organic life to techno-organic life by touch. The Phalanx use this as a recruiting tool; the Technarchy can do the same thing, but usually avert it by immediately eating whatever they convert. They actually use the same virus to do this. The Phalanx are supposedly spawned from the Technarchs' leftovers and are treated by the Technarchs in much the same way humans treat moldy food, though per X-Men (2019), the truth is something closer to the other way around. Having large numbers of ordinary humans were (themselves unknowingly) roboticised to serve as sleeper weapons against superhumans was part of Bastion's plan to get rid of all mutants (at the time in the '90s when most non-mutant heroes were thought to have died in the battle against Onslaught). Cable has a metal arm and bionic eye for this reason. As an infant, Apocalypse infected him with the techno-organic virus, which converts living cells into organic steel and spreads liquid metal throughout his body. He actually has to constantly expend some of his vast telekinetic powers to keep it in check, otherwise, his entire body will be consumed. Whenever his powers slacken or the virus gets super-charged, the results are usually high-end Body Horror.

In revenge for repeatedly foiling their operations, Shadaloo kidnapped and robotized Chun-Li for the sake of transforming her into M. Bison's top assassin, complete with a new name. Unlike Shadow â€” a brainwashed Charlie Nash who escaped shortly after being transformed â€” a Restraining Bolt was added to Shadow Lady's programming so she would be an emotionless minion fully loyal to Shadaloo, erasing her former cheerful personality. In her ending, however, Shadow Lady overcomes Shadaloo's brainwashing, regains her original memories as Chun-Li, and allies with Shadow in taking them down. In Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, Ultron-Sigma intends to turn all organic life into his robotic slaves through a modified Sigma Virus, having already subjugated all of Asgard including Thor himself.

While some of the kombatants such as Shao Kahn and Kano are unpleasant to begin with, seeing them cyberized against their will is quite nauseating. This is possibly the only Fatality in the game that inflicts a Fate Worse than Death rather than just killing the victim. In-story, she continues Sektor's evil work by forcibly converting her former Lin Kuei comrades into the Tekunin as a way to spite her former mentor Sub-Zero for "under-appreciating" her potential and allying with the Shirai Ryu. In her arcade ending, it's unknown what became of the other kombatants once she killed them all, but it's implied she did turn them into brainwashed robo-ninjas and sicced them to enforce her preferred version in all timelines.

Among them, Ichise, the protagonist, whose getting artificial arm and leg saved his life — but the creator of the limbs, Doctor Kaneda, never asked Ichise if he wanted it, lied to him about the creation process, and also literally raped him when he was helpless. Then Kano creates the Shapes — people whose entire body, except for the head, is replaced with a robotic one. Despite the horrors of dehumanization and the fate of becaming Kano's minions, many Lux residents believed Kano's promises of a better life, and also became so desperate, living in a poor, violent and dying world, that they willingly agreed to texhnolyzation. Not all of them, though — so, some of the Shapes are still full-fledged examples of this trope. After all, Kano texchnolyzes his (probably) sister Ran by placing her living head on a motionless two-headed doll. This causes Ran to destroy her own mind, and later causes Ichise to give her Mercy Kill.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_629cd094	comment	One of the main quests in Dragon Age: Origins has the player combing through dwarven ruins to find a magic anvil that modern dwarves believe creates golems. Upon some exposition, the anvil actually invokes this trope, and has a long and sordid history of more and more dwarves being cast into it as the war underground got worse. Initially, it was only used on condemned criminals and volunteers, but by the time the situation got so bad that the city was lost, any criminals (even petty thieves), political dissidents, and low-ranking individuals of the caste system were thrown into the anvil, ending with its creator suffering the same fate.

In revenge for repeatedly foiling their operations, Shadaloo kidnapped and robotized Chun-Li for the sake of transforming her into M. Bison's top assassin, complete with a new name. Unlike Shadow â€” a brainwashed Charlie Nash who escaped shortly after being transformed â€” a Restraining Bolt was added to Shadow Lady's programming so she would be an emotionless minion fully loyal to Shadaloo, erasing her former cheerful personality. In her ending, however, Shadow Lady overcomes Shadaloo's brainwashing, regains her original memories as Chun-Li, and allies with Shadow in taking them down.

Bucky survived his fall off Zola's train in Captain America: The First Avenger, but his arm was amputated in the process. His near-dead body was recovered by HYDRA who gave him a cybernetic arm as a replacement and brainwashed him into becoming a ruthless assassin known as the "Winter Soldier", freezing him and unfreezing every time he is needed for a mission so that he doesn't age. Fortunately, he gets better in the end. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014): Galactic Conqueror Thanos likes to take young girls from planets he has destroyed and raise them as his daughters. One such daughter, Nebula, was forced to fight her sister Gamora, and as punishment for losing, Thanos ripped out pieces of her body to replace them with cybernetic implants. Avengers: Infinity War shows just how extensive this is in a torture scene where Nebula's implants are slowly dragged apart by Thanos; almost her entire body is now robotic, including half of her brain.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_6b85085e	comment	The Lin Kuei ninja clan do this to their clansmen in Mortal Kombat via the Cyber Initiative with the intent of turning them into robo-ninjas to improve their combat efficiency and prevent complex thinking. Though Sektor was a volunteer, Cyrax and, depending on which timeline out of two is in question, either Smoke or Sub-Zero aren't willing. And depending on the timeline, Cyrax and either Smoke or Sub-Zero regain their humanity, while Sektor branches out to form his own cyber-ninja clan, the Tekunin. When Cyber Sub-Zero's slaving protocols are disengaged, the electronic readout in his HUD shows that his brain function was lowered. This means that the Lin Kuei did this to prevent insubordination within the rank and file. In Mortal Kombat X, a Special Forces team wanted to build a working robot ninja they obtained from the Lin Kuei files, so they decided to use the data storage housing the physical and mental files for Sektor, Cyrax, Smoke and Cyber Sub-Zero, into the cybernetic body that he briefly inhabited before being converted into a revenant. Upon activation, the AI suddenly became aware (possibly because four data files overloaded its systems), killing all humans in the lab before vowing to restore the Lin Kuei to its old glory. But since Sub-Zero sullied the Lin Kuei name, the robot, now calling itself "Triborg", forms the Tekunin by saving the brainwave data of its fellow Lin Kuei onto the S-F servers and uses their resources to create new robotic bodies for them. It's also implied the dead humans in the lab were converted into Meat Sack Robots. With an army of robo-ninjas at its disposal, Triborg vows to forcibly convert many of the kombatants into cyborgs. In Mortal Kombat 11, Frost â€” now a Cyber Ninja herself â€” can use this as a Fatality, where she freezes and shatters her opponent's torso, hands their brain and spine to a drone, and drops it into the body of a Lin Kuei robot. While some of the kombatants such as Shao Kahn and Kano are unpleasant to begin with, seeing them cyberized against their will is quite nauseating. This is possibly the only Fatality in the game that inflicts a Fate Worse than Death rather than just killing the victim. In-story, she continues Sektor's evil work by forcibly converting her former Lin Kuei comrades into the Tekunin as a way to spite her former mentor Sub-Zero for "under-appreciating" her potential and allying with the Shirai Ryu. In her arcade ending, it's unknown what became of the other kombatants once she killed them all, but it's implied she did turn them into brainwashed robo-ninjas and sicced them to enforce her preferred version in all timelines.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_76b8cb10	comment	Fallout: In Pre-War America before the events of the series, the United States government partnered with General Atomics International to create robots that use organic brains for their central processors. At first only chimpanzee brains were used for the Robobrains, but the government began using the brains of executed criminals to give them a wider range of function. Some retain their former personalities, and end up enslaved to their programming (although the more sociopathic ones don't seem to mind being forced to kill people at random). Some would manage to break free of their programming restraints and attempt suicide. The Old World Blues DLC for Fallout: New Vegas starts with this; your character's brain, heart, and spine are removed, and replaced with machinery. However, there's a lot of Cursed with Awesome involved. Having no brain means you can't become addicted to drugs or be concussed, no heart means you can't be poisoned or Critically hit by robot enemies, and no spine means your torso can't be crippled, and you become superhumanly strong and resilient. Your character just takes it in stride. Though putting the said organs back Nerfs the perks, a new set is introduced from choosing to do so.

Even more frightening the Reapers are created by forcibly melting organics down into a liquid metal which is then fused into a massive exoskeleton. When the Collector General assumes direct control of one of its soldiers, the Collector in question is effectively transformed into nothing but a super-powered collection of cybernetics. The ultimate fate of Saren, following his death, was to have his corpse transformed into a cybernetic puppet of Sovereign. The dialogue added by the Extended Cut DLC to Catalyst's dialogue states that Harbinger was created from Catalyst's creators. Though they wanted Catalyst to find some way to put an end to the eternal cycle of organics vs. synthetics, they didn't exactly want to be melted down and made into an Eldritch Abomination. Catalyst didn't give them a choice.

Played straight with #1, #2, Tackle, Kamen Rider ZX, Kamen Rider Black and Shadow Moon who were unwillingly turned into cyborgs by evil organizations that they'd later battle (except for Shadow Moon, who is loyal to his converters). Riderman, Kamen Rider X and Skyrider were cyborgized as means to save their lives. One of the 90s movie-only Riders was like this as well. Subverted by Kamen Rider V3, Kamen Rider Stronger and Kamen Rider Super-1 who got turned into Altered Humans willinglynote V3 asked the Double Riders to convert him so he could avenge his family, Stronger pretended to join the villains so he could become powerful enough to fight them, and Super-1 was made to be a sort of space exploration Super-Soldier. Almost all cases contained scenes of very painful looking surgery without any anesthesia. The Movie Kamen Rider: The First was less graphic on Painful Transformation, but still given us a lot of screaming and implications of drill to the skull; and Shin Kamen Rider focuses more on the protagonist's emotional state following his "upgrading" into an Augment than the actual procedure. The only Showa Rider to completely avert it is Amazon, whose powers come from a mystical Mayincatec armlet.

It should be noted that Fixit detects flaws in the human body and honestly thinks that he's fixing Cyborg. He probably would have left Cyborg alone had he been completely human. Indeed, Fixit even made sure to create a backup copy of Cyborg's memories and personality. It's upon examining the backup copy that he realizes his error and lets Cyborg go. Brother Blood returns in Titans East to re-create his school by abducting the Titans East and turning them into Cyborgs, with Cyborg's own tech.

His Shadow stabbed Kai to death and had his body converted into a Divine Assassin as a "punishment beyond death" and absorbed his memories for good measure. Kai was decarbonized (a process that removed all organic material in his body and replaced it with inorganic material), had cybernetic implants installed, and given unnatural "life" via protoblood. The result was a nigh indestructible killing machine wholly loyal to His Shadow with only an outward resemblance to the heroic Brunnen-G Kai was in life bereft of his willpower and memories. An unlikely chain of events and a chance encounter with the Divine Predecessor holding his memories restores Kai's willpower.

Both of them do still take it better than the two cops that were roboticized before Dr. Faxx came up with using Cain: the first shot the scientists before committing suicide, the second ripped out its life-support by removing its helmet. Murphy's dedication to law and order and his religious devotion which precluded the notion of suicide was why he survived being rebuilt. As for Cain, the researcher behind the Robocop 2 project wanted the brain of a psychopath that she could control by means of his addiction to Nuke. Needless to say, the project backfired.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_8ec33a86	comment	In Xenoblade Chronicles 1, the seventh member of the group, or the third one if you take into consideration she appeared in the prologue, Fiora, gets transformed into a Mechon. She takes it surprisingly well after breaking from the mind-control, especially considering she would have died from previously acquired injuries before her conversion and now she can use those abilities to help Shulk. The same happened to Mumkhar and Gadolt but unlike the latter, the former didn't get his memory wiped. In Mumkhar's case however, while the roboticization was unwilling, he's perfectly happy with it since he's still largely independent and it gives him more power. He wanted to kill the protagonists anyway. Egil's forces do this to a lot of Homs, in order to have them pilot Face units. The process is not pretty. It involves the removal and replacement of internal organs, and the reconfiguration of the circulatory system so that their blood can interface with the Face unit to which they're assigned. It's implied that the reason Fiora looks comparatively well off is because Egil's sister Vanea, who had her own ulterior motives to try and stop her brother, was the one who oversaw her conversion.

In its most advanced stages, it would seriously degrade the victim's consciousness and ability to rationally think, turning them into suffering, mindless, and oftentimes violently berserk cyborgs—not that that has stopped some transhumanist cults from praising it as the "next evolution" of humanity.

Most of them were nameless one-shot characters, and several of the Freedom Fighters had been temporarily captured and converted into Badniks before being promptly broken out at various points. Shortfuse the Cybernik was a more permanent example of this trope, being used in an experimental creation made of Megatal, with no readily-available means of getting him back out. This was inverted with Metamorphia. She started out as an apparently cybernetic artificial life-form, was turned into a Badnik and transformed into an organic character. Vermin the Cybernik averts this, however, as he willingly went along with Robotnik's plans and was loyal to him.

While Jewelry Bonney and the Revolutionary Army believe that Kuma was forced to become a full-fledged cyborg with an erased personality, several people working for World Government testify that Kuma voluntarily became a mindless cyborg. The truth about this is later revealed during the big flashback portion of the Egghead arc: St. Saturn gave Kuma the ultimatum of becoming a cyborg and have his personality erased, become one of the Shichibukai, and he's not allowed to see Bonney again while she's in treatment and he's still in the process of becoming a Full-Conversion Cyborg or else Kuma's deal with Vegapunk will not go through. Kuma is more than happy to accept the three conditions, as otherwise there's no other way for Bonney to be cured. During the time Kuma still has his personality intact, he finds hope in Bonney living free as a pirate and Luffy becoming a potential savior of the whole world, which is why he does not regret his sacrifice.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_b4967d43	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog: The Trope Namer is Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM). The cartoon uses this trope in all of the mentioned methods, as does the Archie Comics spinoff (mentioned above). An early episode contains a scene — part of a dream Sonic has — where Sally is roboticized.note Sonic saw his uncle get roboticized right in front of him when he was only five years old. Since then, he's had nightmares about losing his friends the same way. He doesn't need to be asleep to have them. The horrified look on her face as it happens and her agonized scream when she sees what's been done to her says it all. The cartoon's unrelated successor, Sonic Underground, does the same. Ironically, the "Blast to the Past" two-parter of SatAM showed this partially happening to Robotnik himself. The series had always shown Robotnik sporting a mechanical left arm (the Archie comics usually did too, especially later on, when they started following the tone of the cartoon more closely). We learn that during the aftermath of his coup, Robotnik — knocked dizzy by a time-travelling Sonic — accidentally stuck his arm into an active Roboticizer. It is heavily implied that this is the reason that Robotnik goes berserk anytime Sonic is mentioned. Also happened in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog's "Quest for the Chaos Emeralds" four-parter; Robotnik uses his robot transmogrifying raygun on the Mobius version of Blackbeard, a whale, a pterodactyl, and a treasure chest (the latter resembling Crabmeat from Sonic 1). For whatever reason, Robotnik never got the idea to shoot Sonic with the raygun. Also disturbingly, none of the victims were returned to normal and several were even destroyed like any other Mecha-Mook. Oddly enough, this is the only time that style of roboticization is ever mentioned in that series, though in another episode uses the game style organic battery. Another example involving Sonic was his Crossover with OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes, with Lord Boxman (who's ironically played by the voice of the trope namer) using the Master Emerald to power his own Roboticiser. He intended to use it on Sonic himself, but KO gets trapped in it first and thus becomes a Metal version of himself. Despite a tough fight with the Blue Blur, Sonic manages to turn him back to normal in the end. Sonic Prime: Rusty Rose, a version of Amy Rose from the dystopian New Yoke City, is a cyborg. It is strongly implied that her transformation was not voluntary. Fitting in that Rusty has been largely subjected to this by the Trope Codifier himself.

While there's some Memetic Mutation regarding his line "I never asked for this," from the trailer, the player can play him as either resentful or as grateful as they like. Adam's case is interesting because it's not only unwilling, it's also unnecessary, according to a medical report. Limbs and body parts from him were removed no matter the damage on them, if any. Then again, the player finds out later that Jensen has been conceived in vitro to receive said augmentations at some point in his life - his fatal injuries during the assault simply served as the perfect excuse to advance the plan. Anyone affiliated with the Omar in Deus Ex: Invisible War will eventually be "invited" to join their Hive Mind. How?

The protagonist is a woman, known only as "Subject 99", who had most of her head from her lower jaw on up removed and replaced with cameras and speakers, and her right hand removed so a modular Arm Cannon can be attached. We also see a human head attached to robotic spider legs, a man with a camera mounted to his skull who's had his lower arms replaced with retractable blades that he uses to kill the SWAT team who comes to bust Suhendra, and a woman still in the middle of roboticization (while conscious) who's had an arm and a foot removed and most of her internal organs replaced with machinery.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_bcadd7cb	comment	In Warhammer 40,000, one punishment the Ministorum reserves for the worst heretics or criminals is the rite of Arco-Flagellation, in which the offender's arms are lopped off and replaced with vicious close combat weapons, their brains scrambled, and combat drug dispensers are grafted onto their spines. Pacifier visors play soothing hymns and display religious imagery to keep them calm outside of combat, but when the right official gives the Trigger Phrase the visor lifts, a cocktail of drugs floods into their systems, and the Arco-Flagellants turn into snarling killing machines. By the way we actually meant that these are criminals who were pretty bad but have some chance of redemption of their souls, others are just shot. Servitors are lobotomized individuals implanted with cybernetics and "bio-programming" so they can serve as menial laborers, weapon platforms, targeting computers, and other useful tasks to get around the Imperium's ban on "Abominable Intelligences." Some unlucky servitors were former political prisoners, Space Marine washouts, "retired" Imperial Guardsmen, or just Forge-World menials who were judged to be more useful as cyborg slave-drones than human beings, but others, likely most, are vat-grown clones who are designed with no memories and are implanted before the nervous system begins to develop and so are not true examples of this trope. Sometimes a heretic that would otherwise be deemed redeemable through arco-flagellation (or other form of service, usually to the Inquisition) but has committed truly heinous crimes become servitors so they suffer more in penitence, at least most arco-flagellants die in battle. Such a punishment was levied on a dictator that slaughtered many in rape gulags. A form of temporary servitor is called a serfitor, which acts as a way to provide civilian service and give debtors or minor heretics who are not needed at the penal legions or as a regular prison laborer and weren't bad (or unlucky) enough to be arco-flagellated. They retain their memories by design, but perform tasks as a servitor enough to pay off the debt, then are let go free if with pretty bad scarring and the experience of spending months to years locked in and only conversing with the parole officer. The Necrons used to do this to abducted humans who possessed the Pariah gene, turning them into flesh-metal hybrid units that terrified anything they came near and were particularly effective against psyker powers. Their new backstory has some of the Necrontyr resisting the transformation into immortal, soulless Necrons but being deceived and forced into the procedure anyway. A Space Marine Dreadnought is a bipedal war machine that serves as the tomb of the mortally-wounded warrior interred within, and are treated as honored elders allowed to slumber away the centuries when they aren't needed for battle. Chaos Space Marines view such an imprisonment as a living hell, the ultimate in sensory deprivation, a denial of an afterlife of oneness with the Warp. This doesn't prevent some Chaos Marines from being put into a Dreadnought anyway, and as such Chaos Dreadnoughts are psychotic killing machines prone to firing upon their allies, so dangerous that outside of battle, the sarcophagus is removed from the Dreadnought, which is then chained to the wall, just to be safe. Abaddon the Despoiler came up with Defilers, war machines crewed by bound daemons, because such blasphemies were more reliable than Chaos Dreadnoughts. This is why most Orks would rather go on lacking an arm than visit a painboy willingly. Sure, you might wake up again after anaesthesia (a big hammer applied to the skull) with a new bionik bit replacing whatever you lost (or some other ork's bit replacing what you lost, painboys aren't particular). You may also wake up with a brand new pair of underwater lungs you never asked for that the painboy wanted to try out, or have your feet replaced by tank treads, or wake up inserted into a Deff Dread or with your head transplanted (stapled onto) another ork's body (painboys really aren't particular). Back before the 8th Edition rework the attached medic granted Feel no Pain rolls to ignore wounds suffered by the squad. Painboy Fn P is the Ork in question deciding that the missing leg is not that big of a deal.

Whether they can be happy that it was done to their previous selves is one of the questions the anime considers. The answer is probably "yes, but ..." seen from the points of view of the individual cyborgs, and possibly "no way, let me die if that life is how I'll end up" from the original girls' unavailable point of view.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: This is the Cybermen's modus operandi. What started as the end result of people on a dying planet willing to throw away their humanity and all emotion to survive, now seeks to bolster its numbers by "upgrading" other life forms, whether they like it or not. To quote the Doctor, "it's just like being an organ donor, except you're alive, and... sort of... screaming." (Although it's a bad example because organ donors are volunteers, the people 'upgraded' into Cybermen are not given a choice, they are 'upgraded' into Cybermen whether they want to be or not.) "Rise of the Cybermen"/"The Age of Steel" introduces a parallel breed of Cybermen from an Alternate Universe, as the brainchild of gadget magnate John Lumic, who puts the technology forward as a way to overcome the ageing process and eliminate frailty. Those who know what it entails reject it as a sick idea, so he uses another of his gadgets to brainwash people into assembling at his cyber-conversion facilities. When he is left for dead by one of his underlings, however, he's not so keen: "World Enough and Time" reveals that the Mondasian Cybermen were started with largely unwilling and unwitting test subjects being converted. The Downer Ending Cliffhanger has the Doctor's own companion, Bill Potts, being turned into one. The climax of "The Haunting of Villa Diodati" has Mary Shelley attempt to reason with the Cyberman menacing the house, encouraging it to fight the mental conditioning and remember who it used to be. He remembers he used to be a man called Ashad, and he had children...and then he slit their throats for trying to fight the Cybermen, before gladly offering himself up for conversion (to the point they didn't even need to install an emotional inhibitor in him). This is therefore the first and only example in the TV series of a Cyberman who wasn't unwilling. In fact, his ultimate plan is to convert the Cybermen from cyborgs into robots, and in the next episode, he forcibly converts some standard Cybermen to help him out. The tragedy of the Cybermen converting unwilling victims is that they genuinely believe they're helping them. Why wouldn't you want to be free of the frailties of the flesh? To believe otherwise is just an illogical and emotional response. After all it's done them no harm... Even scarier are the Robomen from "The Dalek Invasion of Earth" and its film adaptation, Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 A.D.. Jenny, a resistance member, explains: "There arenâ€™t that many Daleks on Earth. They needed helpers. So they operated on some of their prisoners and turned them into robots... The Transfer, as the Daleks call the operation, controls the human brain. Well, at least for a time... I've seen the Robos when they break down. They go insane. They smash their heads against walls. They throw themselves off buildings or into the river." The Robomen in the original television version are particularly chilling. In the film, they simply seem to be under mind control, but the television ones it's clearly implied are effectively dead from the moment the transfer is carried out â€“- there is no way they can be "cured" or "freed" as the film versions can; the only freedom is death. In some ways, they make the Cyber-alternative look almost merciful. But then, that's the Daleks for you... The movie version aren't ever shown being "freed" or "cured" in any way, either. They all get killed at the end of the film as part of a delaying action to provide time to throw a Spanner in the Works of the Daleks' plan. The TV series would much later introduce the Robotmen's successors, "Dalek puppets": humanoids who, upon death, were implanted with Dalek technology and used as Manchurian Agents. They can pass for their old selves up until they're triggered or remember their deaths, at which point a Dalek eyestalk erupts from their forehead. Daleks can be produced from humans. Specific methods include harvesting the humans for "good" materials and using them to construct Daleks, and using nanogenes to convert corpses into mechanical (but humanoid) soldiers. There's also such a thing as a "full conversion" for those they consider too intelligent to waste, like Oswin.

Making things worse, Victor was a great athlete, and his condition meant he could never participate in such activities again. Even aside from the fact that being a cyborg would be considered cheating in athletic competitions, Victor had always taken great joy in being able to push past his limits through hard work and determination, but unlike human muscles his cybernetic parts can't be improved via exercise.

The method he uses was originally designed as a way of creating an army of Flood-resistant warriors by turning organic consciousness into AI and vaporizing the subject's original body, but it unfortunately came with the nasty side effect of driving the subject homocidally insane from the traumatic process. Plus, since the Gravemind made a hobby of corrupting AI into loyal subordinates to the Flood anyways, it still wouldn't have worked (in fact, it was the Gravemind that implanted this idea into the Didact for kicks).

The nanobots would consume living tissue, replicating themselves within minutes while simultaneously growing metallic tumors on the body of the victim. Throughout the infection, the virus instinctively moved towards the brain of the subject and lobotomized their frontal lobe, rendering the victim incapable of higher thought and turning them into cyborg slaves known as technobeasts. During the campaign against Darzu known as the Sictis Wars, one Jedi Knight managed to prevent the virus from infecting his brain through the Force but failed to prevent the Body Horror, becoming known as the "Technobeast Jedi". In The Truce at Bakura, the Scary Dogmatic Aliens known as the Ssi-ruuk practiced a form of this called "entechment" in which they would drain people's Life Energy to power their droids and ships, turning what little remained of their consciousness into mechanical slaves. Their Evil Plan was to fill the Evil Power Vacuum left by The Emperor's death by using Bakura's resources to expand their entechment capabilities and take over the galaxy.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_ea377bc0	comment	Used in System Shock and System Shock 2, forming most of SHODAN's army. Notable examples include the Cortex Reaver (a spiderlike mech that takes corpses and uses their brains as CPUs but don't bother removing the rest of the body), and Cyborg Midwives (former nurses who have their entire bodies south of their collarbone replaced with machinery and their faces ripped off). The protagonist of the second game is an odd situation. He was never given a chance to object, and how he feels about his new body post-op is never addressed. An interesting narrative decision, given that the two big players in the plot repeatedly try to persuade him in one direction or the other.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_ee384546	comment	Cyberpunk 2077: One mission involves saving a Buddhist monk from being forcefully cyberized by Maelstrom gangsters For the Evulz. Not only is this against his religion, but the augmentations also used are intentionally designed and installed poorly to cause cyberpsychosis - Maelstromers think going insane from cybernetic sensory overload is "enlightenment". It's too late for his buddy, who has a poorly-installed cyberarm and brain jack, but the monk says he'll try to pray for their soul anyways.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_eeb69732	comment	In Darth Bane, it's shown that during the New Sith Wars a Sith Lord by the name of Belia Darzu used Sith alchemy and nanomachines to create a virus called the Nanogene spore that inflicted this on its victims. The nanobots would consume living tissue, replicating themselves within minutes while simultaneously growing metallic tumors on the body of the victim. Throughout the infection, the virus instinctively moved towards the brain of the subject and lobotomized their frontal lobe, rendering the victim incapable of higher thought and turning them into cyborg slaves known as technobeasts. During the campaign against Darzu known as the Sictis Wars, one Jedi Knight managed to prevent the virus from infecting his brain through the Force but failed to prevent the Body Horror, becoming known as the "Technobeast Jedi".

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_ef9ba9b4	comment	Revenge of the Sith: The transformation of Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader was carried out on the orders of Palpatine, regardless of his apprentice's opinion. And it was done without any form of painkillers to toughen him up. Supplemental materials reveal that Palpatine wasn't just a Sadist, the sheer pain of the transformation was supposed to increase Vader's power in the Dark Side.

What's curious is that while the good doctor was perfectly content to replace his legs and right hand, he had no desire to become a Man in the Machine or a Brain in a Jar. Both end up happening to him.

Unwilling Roboticisation / int_f42ccd4f	comment	In Rimworld, one of the possible traits a person can have is "Body Purist". People with this trait consider artificial body parts to be unethical and will get increasing negative mood penalties for each one attached to them. This is a bad thing in a game where limbs are lost on a regular basis, means of regrowing natural limbs are restricted to DLC content and rare even then, and artificial body parts and implants can improve on natural ones.

Abel Horn, a (former) authority figure in the Free Mars terrorist group, is rebuilt as a cyborg post mortem, the cybernetic part controlling his body while his mind is fixated on the moment of his death by means of a telepathic deep scan.

In Alistair's (slight) defense, the procedure was intended as a gift for Julia, but his jealousy spurred him to make Jim an ugly, clunky mashup of man and metal. Jim subsequently fights his way free of the neural dampening and goes berserk.

After the initial outbreak, by the time the player hero made it to the island which serves as Point Zero of the infection, the entire population has been replaced by Orgamechs.
