The Cyborg is an NPC vendor that will appear once Plantera has been defeated at least once in the current world and a vacant house is available. He sells several "high-tech" items, most notably rocket ammunition for launcher weapons.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The Cyborg is biomechanical and not a robot (true to the name "Cyborg"), as skin can be seen in his hands and face. This is more easy to notice in his old sprite.
Along with the Traveling Merchant and the Zoologist, the Cyborg is one of the only NPCs that sells a post-Moon Lord item (the Portal Gun Station).
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 A.N.D.Y may also be a reference to Eureka, in which a robotic sheriff is a supporting character.
The name T-3E0 is most likely a reference to C-3PO, a humanoid robot character from the American epic space-opera media franchise Star Wars.
The name Niner-7 may be a reference to the character Seven of Nine from the American science fiction television series Star Trek: Voyager.
The name Fender could be a reference to a robot character of the same name in Futurama.
His quote "My expedition efficiency was critically reduced when a projectile impacted my locomotive actuator." is a reference to the popular "Arrow in the Knee" quote from the action role-playing video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, where a guard tells the player: "I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee."
- The Zoologist shares a similar quote to the reference above.
The quote "This sentence is false, or is it?" references a common logical paradox often associated with robots.
His quote "<Name of Tavernkeep> said I reminded him of a certain "EV2". Perhaps I should meet her." is a reference to the character EV2 in Dungeon Defenders 2.
On the Old-gen console version, he is summoned by the Queen Statue even though he is not female.
In the source files of the game, it is found that the Cyborg's light on his head is off when his party hat is on:
His quote "So that 'punk' lookin' chick is an inventor, eh? I think I could show her a thing or two!" might suggest that he has some interest in the Steampunker.
- Because this quote suggests he doesn't know the Steampunker already, it conflicts with a piece of lore, since the Cyborg's Bestiary entry states that he was created by the Mechanic and the Steampunker.
- However, the Cyborg does not directly say that he knows the Mechanic either, meaning that there may be no memories of the event for him.

The Bestiary entry for the Cyborg: "The Cyborg was built with the combined efforts of the Mechanic and the Steampunker to aid in rocket science and world defense."
