The melding of man and machine is one of those things that seems both a logical extension of the technological age and a thoroughly repulsive condition that changes man into just another artefact. The idea of reducing man to the level of his own creations is probably the reason why it never commanded a better position than on the periphery of Future Past.
Still, being as strong as a steam engine and as invulnerable as a tank has its attractions, so it isn't surprising that cyborgs popped up occasionally as early as the 1930s.
