mechanical parts
Refers to a display of exposed mechanical or cybernetic limbs, grafts, additions, implants, devices, systems, innards, etc. Note that the word "parts" is used here in the sense of "body parts" and not "components or pieces".
Commonly (but not exclusively) found in images of cyborgs and androids.
Use this tag for:
- Mechanical/cybernetic limbs, implants, or other additions where no attempt is made at concealing their artificial nature.
- Exposure of the inner workings of a normally concealed mechanical/cybernetic limb, body, implant, system, etc.
- ...Or when such things that (while still outwardly concealed) are exposed via x-ray view, cutaway diagram, schematic, etc.
- The exposed innards of a cyborg or android.
DO NOT Use this tag for:
- Actual robots, mecha, or (full) mechanization
- A cyborg or android with clearly-showing seam lines (where their artificial parts/sections fit together), but no exposure of the artificial workings underneath
- Robot joints or doll joints
- The inner workings of some mechanical device (like an engine) or installation (like a clock tower)--use machinery instead
- Conventional machines and electronic devices/appliances
- Discrete, individual mechanical components
(If some brave soul wants to create tags for things excluded above which don't already have a tag (but really need one), that would be swell.)
