I know that 90% of ideas never get implemented, but it still bugs me. It's about sprites. Specifically, cyborg limb sprites.
When you think about being fully rebuilt with robot parts, it's usually something extreme. Think Robocop or Darth Vader. Or... This guy, whoever he is.
On /tg/ you too can be rebuilt entirely with robotics limbs. Since those are the very same parts that make up this guy right here, you would think you'll look something like him? Not really. It just looks like a grey version of your character, when it displays properly (which didn't for me, so I can't post a proper screenshot).

As a mainly roboticist player, I think that people who are more machines than men should look the part, so robot limbs need new, cool sprites that resemble nanotrasen cyborgs. If anyone is interested in doing this, I'll be in great debt.
I also know that spriter's work is hard and ungrateful, so I'm more than willing to fund those new sprites, as long as the sum is reasonable.

they should not look like nanotrasen cyborgs, because they look boring.

Grab a copy of polaris and have a play around with the full-body-prosthetics.

Probably not suited for /tg/ play as written there, but you can basically just make a dude out of parts. Including sticking a posibrain or MMI in.

You should be able to put all the organs in any limb of a augment

for example: brain is left leg, heart in head!

We are already venturing down the path of robotic eyes, what's stopping us from making a 'cyborg head' by inserting eyeballs in the place of flashes for a human-metallic face?

IEDs, maybe roboticists can get paint sprays, syndicate parts, literally ANYTHING else. you'd be turning grey into grey and blue

I don't remember why I said improvised explosive devices but that would be pretty cool for a limb
