How can it work for MARS that cybernetics and armor toughness stack, but because its a cyborg IF they do not? That does not make sense.

Cybernetics and armor are two wildly different sources of toughness.

Regardless of whether that particular reading of the heavy combat cyborg's toughness stacks, I specifically removed it from these versions.
