It feels like Headhunters should be included in this grouping. While MARS characters they start with a healthy dose of custom selected cybernetics, plus a slew of rolls for being MARS.
I think they made the distinction about Combat Borgs being 'Borgs that we associate with the OCC. But they make all these other cyborg distinctions in the rules for partial conversions that Headhunters fall closer to.
Personally I love Headhunters - and the MARS packages can let you make a fairly beefy borg-like character that could stand-and-bang in their own right. There's a lot of variety they baked into the rules.
The more I read the more respect I have for PEG because ultimately this is an entirely new tier of their own system overlaying their Core Rules and it's done on paper with pretty solid fidelity. And they're apparently *deeply* committed to it, as much as they are to Deadlands.
