Cyborgs

Here, I will throw in ideas regarding one of the most dominant creature types in the set: the Cyborgs. What differentiates the Cyborgs from all other creatures is that most of them are splash-able: their casting costs most of the time contain only one colored mana. They also all posses X abilities or effects. Their generic nature is for the most part due to the fact that they are in part machines. There are those rare Cyborgs who are a little more color-focused, but usually they are overly powerful. The Cyborgs also represent one of the sets light themes: most of the spells are splash-able, though it is not a multicolored set, by all means. Finally the one restriction given to the Cyborgs is that they are not prominent in Green, though they are in all other colors.

The following cards are mere potentials, and not actual cards that are going to the set; they are only ideas, at best.

Might be interesting if Cyborgs included the text: Counts as an artifact creature

Any specific reason as to why they should count as artifacts, besides flavor reasons?

No, just flavor. The whole half-man/half-machine(artifact) thing.

Note: Energy Rod, below, is probably a more balanced Equipment to have than Cyborg Battery. The Battery scares me.
