Quotes

Trivia

• Along with the Traveling Merchant, the Cyborg is the only NPC that sells something post-Moon Lord (Portal Gun Station), making him the only town NPC to sell an end-game item.
• Almost all of the Cyborg's names are letters in the Greek alphabet. Naming robots and cyborgs with Greek letters is common in science fiction.
• The names Syn-x and A.N.D.Y. are likely references to Re-Logic lead developers Whitney "Cenx" Spinks and Andrew "Redigit" Spinks.
• The name T-3E0 is most likely a reference to the Star Wars droid, C-3P0. It may also be a reference to Terminator 3.
• The name A.N.D.Y could be a reference to a robot named “Andy” in the Dark Tower series
• The name Niner-7 may be a reference to the character Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager.
• On the  Console version and  Mobile version, he is summoned by the Queen Statue.
• In the source files for the game, it is found that the Cyborg's light on his head is off when his party hat is on:
