1. Full prosthetic body, or "shell"
Edited on Sat Oct-29-11 12:22 AM by kentauros
Either like Batou or Ishikawa (Ishikawa doesn't have a shell, but is heavily "augmented".) Although the Tachikomas are great. Don't have to even be human to still have sentience :D

10. I loved it when the Tachikomas were getting philosophical
and were even "organizing" at one point! We need them at OWS :D

And with a full prosthetic body you can tap into the Tachikomas and operate them remotely :)

2. I want a body completely constructed out of self-replicating nanobots
So that I can take any shape, fit into any space, leave tiny spies behind or dispatch them to blow up inside the eyeballs of my enemies, and whirl away in an invincible dust cloud when I get bored...

3. Exoskeleton.
Then again, there's a practical reason - I have severe osteoporosis.

11. Sounds more like you need a full prosthetic head!
I could use one, too. Then we could have a "hub brain" :P
