Statement - (Mike Pondsmith)

Adam Smasher is pretty much what remains in his biopod. The biopod is a heavily protected brain sphere and shielded cable that covers what remains of the subject's spine. The cyberbody plugs into that through a series of neural ports. As heavily shielded as it is, the biopod can sustain immense amounts of punishment before it cracks. It also allows the user to change bodies by plugging the biopod into new ones.

Without giving too much away, Adam has (at least by 2045) jumped through several "bodies", including a very humanoid "Gemini" (see http://cyberpunk.asia/interface/fbc_07.jpg for an example of a Gemini). He pretty much stopped using more humanoid bodies post 4th Corp War (that's a story I'll have to tell someday) and moved up to the full metal hulk he currently lives in (which is a heavily modified Dragoon). One of the common truths about cyberbodies that are as nasty as the Dragoon is that most have kill switches built in, or the owner has been canalized against aggression towards his Corporate controllers.
