Cyborgs can normally have their limbs replaced and, if this is done immediately, their nanocybotics will accept those new body parts, cover them with skin, muscle, flesh.
The key word is…immediately.
If there’s a long delay, the nanocybotics reset. They create a ‘new normal’ for the cyborg’s form and this new normal doesn’t include the missing limbs.
When a limb is attached after this reset, a cyborg’s nanocybotics rejects it. They don’t consider it to be part of the cyborg’s body. They treat the new body part as they would treat a built-in weapon, for example. It is an accessory, not to be repaired.
This is what happened to Grudge. His replacement limbs weren’t replaced soon enough.
Because of this, he doesn’t consider himself to be fully functional.
His female, however, has a different view of his replacement limbs.

Baring Grudge
No one in the universe is more determined than a cyborg warrior tracking his female.
***
Grudge, a C Model cyborg, has been assigned a mission – safeguard a Humanoid Alliance space station for his kind. Honor was once all he had, and he is determined to fulfill his duty.
That resolve is tested when a tiny human female enters the space station and sets the prettiest little explosives the warrior has ever seen. She is Grudge’s genetic match, the one being manufactured for him. He wants to touch her, kiss her, claim her in all ways, but first he has to stop her from blasting him into the next galaxy.
Taelyn has a self-appointed mission—to destroy every battle robot the Humanoid Alliance has ever manufactured. A huge gray-skinned, blue-eyed cyborg warrior with mismatched arms won’t prevent her from achieving her goal. She’ll escape him, leaving destruction in her wake.
Before she departs, she’ll experience one toe-curling moment of hatred-edged passion with her handsome foe. She’ll show him how skilled with detonations she truly is. He will have his universe rocked.
Then she’ll disappear.
Her cyborg, however, has no intention of ever letting her go.
