Quotes[edit | edit source]

"My expedition efficiency was critically reduced when a projectile impacted my locomotive actuator." (This is a reference to the popular "Arrow in the Knee" quote from 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.”)
"And then Unit 492-8 said, 'Who do you think I am, Unit 472-6?' HA. HA. HA."
"I built myself a taste mechanism, so I can drink some ale!"
"This sentence is false, or is it?" (A common logical paradox often associated with robots).
"Sometimes I come off a bit... Get it? a bit?"

When Pirate is present:

"Sure, me and [Name of Pirate] are pals, but I hate it when his parrot does his business on me. That stuff's corrosive!"

When Steampunker is present:

"So that 'punk' lookin' chick is an inventor, eh? I think I could show her a thing or two!"

When Tavernkeep is present:

"[Name of Tavernkeep] said I reminded him of a certain "EV2". Perhaps I should meet her." (This is a reference to the character EV2 in Dungeon Defenders 2.)

During a Party:

"This party is going to be nuts, maybe even bolts!"

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The Cyborg might be biomechanical, 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, the Cyborg is the only NPC that sells a post-Moon Lord item (the 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 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.
On the Old-gen console and Mobile version, he is summoned by the Queen Statue.
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:
