However, unlike the other examples, you can circumvent this by bringing a Portal Gun or Portal Gun Station from another world to to the one with the Cyborg.

 * His quote "" might suggest that he has some interest in the Steampunker.
 * Because this quote suggests he does not know the Steampunker already, it conflicts with a piece of lore, since the Cyborg's Bestiary entry states that he was created by the Mechanic and the Steampunker.
