Or would they count as different categories entirely?They're still biomods, they just allow them to be...well, them. In A.C.'s case, none of his biomass actually got lost. The biomod turned it into what I call a biomatrix form sheath, allowing all the REST of the handwavium to form up into something that has the appearence of a human form. (Rob call her a liquid metal cyborg when I originally put her forth and in some ways that's true. The biomatrix makes being 98.2% handwavium more like being a normal person). In Jet's case it changed the meat into something that is adapted to being permanently suited up. In Wave Convoy's case, it allowed the fading body to transfer its consiousness into the body he now occupies. If his body hadn't expired, I'd hazard a guess he could have gone back to it.

Urgh, I pity the poor sod who has to arrest that person. Of course I'm now imagining a slightly older Baby Herman (from Who Framed Roger Rabbit).
Dartz Wrote:The concept of homeostasis does imply one other thing, however. What effect does it have on the recipients psyche?That's tricky. I'd guess it depends on the person, but at a thought it may make them take more risks as at least the physical consequences will not show (if they survive).
