I would like to think that the Vocaloid series will be able to move on from it's current "phase" of being exclusively anime-esque future like characters but unfortunetely even in this day the "fanbase" in inhabited by otaku's so the likely hood of it happening anytime soon is slim, as much as I do beleive (read: hope) it will happen. It's an unfortunate "curse" for lack of better words that has bestowed the franchise, as in what made it popular is also the thing that's preventing variation.

Hm yes, there hasn't been "full cyborg" yet, the closest being either Miki with her "android-esque" appearance or Iroha with her helmet and hand speakers.
