This is hilarious and I want it in in some fashion (not just because I love Evil Con Carne) but cyborgs are already relatively cheap to make - at least they were the last time I dicked around as a roboticist, which was admittedly a while ago. Frankennerds would sort of trod on both genetics and robotics if it was easy and effective, and if it was neither then nobody would do it after the novelty wore off. Perma-retardation or dyspraxia straddles the line of too punitive or too lenient, IMO. Similarly I don't like the idea of the brain vat on top of a cyborg - it's not THAT much more costly to just make a head that doesn't explode if someone looks at it funny, and it'd really suck to be put into a body one punch away from death.
Critters and bots, though, that's a hilarious and cruel idea that's distant enough from current revivals that it'd have its own niche. The overhauls in the possession code in preparation for Wraith would mean it's much more possible to actually implement now, too, if I'm correct.
Heisenbee beeps, "WHYYYY"
PS if frankenstein revival isnt in, then those human-with-brain-jar sprites should still be used so you can carry a brain around on your head and have it sass people
