Terminators aren't cyborgs. They're androids. Cyborgs are human-machine combinations having human brains. The best examples I know of are Albert Pyun's _Nemesis_ (though I have heard the film is terrible, I had a prof that planned to show this in an SF class, but he replaced it with something else) and Fukutomi Hiroshi's _Gunnm_ (_Battle Angel_).
