You Want To Get Beat? Hurtily?
The Cyborgs (T-04-10-06-A) are a group of TETH-class Abnormalities encountered in Branch J-03. They are casino slaves that have been converted into cyborgs by the Abnormality Have You Become Strong.
You Want To Get Beat? Hurtily? acts as the boss of the Cyborgs. In addition to the story dungeon, it can also be encountered on Thursdays in Thread Luxcavation, and as a potential final boss in the Mirror of the Beginning and 2nd floor boss in the Mirror of Mirrors. It is the source of the E.G.O Screwloose Wallop.
While Clippity-cloppity? Tap Away! is also technically a cyborg, and a fellow subordinate of Have You Become Strong, it is not listed as a member of this group due to it being under the control of Pink Shoes. For more details, please visit the respective pages.
Appearance[]
Become Strong? Genuinely? has the appearance of a casino with colorful toy-like prosthetics replacing their arms and legs, and a wind up key inserted into the top of its head. Parts of its body are splattered in paint blots while other parts have screws sticking through them. It wields a long double-sided spear. Grown Powerful! For Realsies? has a similar appearance, though it lacks a wind-up key and it instead wields a sword.
You Want To Get Beat? Hurtily? has a more robotic appearance with almost the entire body being covered with multi-colored prosthetics. Only the left arm of the person inside is left exposed. It possesses a golden chestplate, a large red right arm, and a bucket-like helmet with eyes and a push-pin in it for a head.

Story[]
Log Writer: Ishmael
Wearing tin cans on their heads, torsos made up of some sort of plastic...
It's hard to explain. It was like someone arbitrarily put together pieces of random toys.
On top of unmatching colors, some straight up lacked frames to cover up the mechanisms.
They weren't all machines, either.
Between the parts, I saw bits of flesh and dried blood...
Just what is going on inside that box?
→ Umm... Maybe it's a type of automated prosthetic procedure device? A company my father considered buying was… N-Never mind. Forget I said anything. (Sinclair)
→ Abnormalities are not real devices. I recommend against trying to make ties with existing things. (Faust)
I thought they'd be as easy to deal with as children's toys, but I way misjudged... I thought I'd seen my share of extraordinary things throughout my career of unpleasant jobs, but it looks like I still have much to see and learn.
There has to be a human inside… but they acted like broken killing machines. Their upper body rotates all the way round, and their arms moved weirdly, too.
And most of all… It's like they're incapable of feeling pain.
I heard some alleys in the Backstreets provide a surgery that fries pain receptors. Could this be similar?
→ As I repeatedly assert, Abnormalities are entities of their own category. You shouldn't construe them with the City's standards, Ishmael. (Faust)
→ And yet Abnormalities physically exist in this realm. If the properties of a thing aren't determined by the laws of the space it exists in, can it truly be said to exist? (Meursault)
→ The hell are you yapping on about? (Heathcliff)
→ I don't believe it's necessary for you to understand, Heathcliff. (Faust)
→ Huh? Is my name written here somewhere? How'd you know it was me? (Heathcliff)
→ …Funny. [A cigarette burn is left on the paper.] (Ryōshū)
When I approached the fainted tin men, I heard mechanical noises. It sounded like things were being fixed within.
If I had to guess… They seem to be equipped with devices that automatically repair their bodies.
But, the device didn't seem capable of carrying out more than five repairs.
Only trouble is that they grow stronger each time they're fixed up…
We should find a way to deal with them and stop this repair mechanism from getting to work. Until then, we'll have to bear with their five lives…
Oh, by the way:
How do you think the 'human' parts inside are being repaired?
→ Do not question the physics of Abnormalities. (Faust)

Trivia[]
- In the "Lacking Data" portion of Observation Log, Sinclair's comment hints that his father worked on the manufacturing of prosthetics, before it is properly established in Canto III.
