His description and ability are a reference to the Terminator, the main protagonist in the majority of the franchise of the same name. His trait and ability are references to the Terminator's persistence to complete its mission, while his description and ability reference the Terminator's catchphrase "I'll be back."

Strategies
With
Cyborg Zombie is an excellent turn 2 play, having average health but decent strength. Its Hunt Trait makes it that much harder to manipulate, while allowing it to destroy potentially dangerous plants like Black-Eyed Pea and Sportacus.
Cyborg Zombie also adds a Vengeful Cyborg when destroyed, allowing it to conserve deck space and continue to apply pressure beyond the early game by returning an even bigger threat.
Since both Cyborg Zombie and Vengeful Cyborg are the science tribe, it works well with Immorticia since she can synergize with Zombot Drone Engineer, Gadget Scientist, and Interdimensional Zombie.
Against
You can treat this zombie like a powerful version of Dog Walker, but except when he is destroyed, he can return to the zombie hero's hand and become stronger. Since he has low health, you can play any plant that can do at least 2 damage or use a trick like Banana Bomb or Berry Blast to destroy him. But be prepared in the late game once the zombie hero plays Vengeful Cyborg, as he is stronger than his original version.
Also, be careful of the order of cards that you play when Cyborg Zombie is on the field, as you may want weaker cards to deal with this zombie while other cards attack your opponent directly.
