I think we're on two different pages here. There is 2 things: A brainvat (which can be attached with wheels + an arm to make it a "brain-bot") and then there is someone/something with a brainvat attached to their head and forcefully revived (read: shocked). The former is not brain-damaged as it was not shocked.
Cloning takes quite a while. Hypothetically, to debrain someone, attach into a brainvat, then attach the brainvat to a person, wrench, weld, then shock, someone who is fluent with SS13 would take all of 3 minutes if less. People would prefer to be brain-vatted and shoved in their body as it would be a quicker process. It is not akin to cyborging, as the person does not have a cyborg body, it has a human body, that unless no repercussion for this rough'n'ready cloning can do everything a normal human mob can do. That and they aren't stripped of their belongings. That to me seems unbalanced.
Although I do agree with you about the husked/very rotten. That should be revived with multiple diseases.
Also anybody that is forcefully cloned should have a franken- prefix infront of their name.

That's where you lost me, shoving into other bodies.
Any way, why not make this a option for cyborgs? Place brain vat onto cyborg frame missing it's head, to make brainborg.
Of course it's pretty obvious why this would end badly for the cyborg if it ever was attacked.
