I think the idea is rad, but also that "Rare chance" concept can be appropriately achieved by "make a prayer to this effect and hope an admin agrees/is about/feels like it." most of the time it won't work, and you can't bank on it. You can't just spam the idea because spamming prayers is an exceptionally reckless thing to try, and if an admin's feeling generous, you'll probably get some drama out of it for the round too. It means it's a narrative thing too, not just someone spending their time being cloned/running for lava/being cloned and then getting it, before just standing around going "look at me isn't this cool pet the terminator"
Now, making a more generalised system where heavily augmented people (say someone with full robo organs/limbs) having some kind of "Fully cyberized" extra like a fully synthetic skeletal system that *then* works as the original idea describes could be cool too. Give robotics something else to do, requiring a full set means its a fair bit of commitment to being under the knife so its not that common, and occasionally seeing some guy get up from an acid attack/lava fall/plasma fire as a goddamn terminator is cool.
