X-03 / Fireblade featured new cyborg head sculpt. The right shoulder has panel that open to reveal his cybernetic enhancements.  He has the words "CYCOM Unit 001" printed on his forehead.

 

The body was clearly from the Neo Cyborg line and retained the same features as the Henshin Cyborgs such as chrome internal organs and light up chest.

 

Most of the X-BORG / CY COM Neo Cyborg body had been painted but several sections were left clear to reveal the inner cybernetic part and gave the figure pretty neat effect. 

 

Most of the old Neo Cyborg body had been covered by new highly detail armor pieces.  The legs and pelvic are covered by cloth ninja pants.

Takara X-BORG X-03 Dragon-maru was released as Cy Com Fireblade by bbi for their Cy Com series. (The version shown here is the bbi Cy Com version). Like previous Cy Com and X-BORG, Fireblade was based on the Neo Henshin Cyborg body. The main body was dark smoke clear with gold highlight. The head, hands and feet were newly sculpt and not the Neo Cyborg parts. The figure came with several accessories - cloth ninja mask, helmet with night-vision scope attachment (who know why android need a night vision scope but it does look cool), "fireblade" weapon with chained-mace, katana, throwing dagger, and baton. The figure retained the light up feature of the Neo Cyborg and his chest cavity glowed red when the button is pressed. X-BORG/Cy Com line definitely gave new life to the old Neo Cyborg body. While I am not a big fan of ninja mythos, I had to admit that Takara did an excellent job on converting the Neo Cyborg into cybernetic ninja. 

bbi Cy Com Fireblade Story

 

A group known as CORE (Cyber Organism Research and Engineering) is a world leader in android  technology and among their operatives are advanced cybernetic agents known as "Cyber Commandos" or "Cy-Coms".  These operatives are at the cutting edge of cybernetic technology and each Cy-Com receives enhancements for specific tactical situation and missions. Enhancements to Cy-Coms include a re-enforced skeleton structure to allow a variety of weaponry and equipments to be employed. Part of their role is as support teams for the Cy-Girls operatives, providing multi-role capabilities over a wide range of situations on behalf of CORE.

 

Equipped with night vision capability, Fireblade is a night operative specialist for Cy Com. His skeleton structure has been modified to allow him the use of extraordinary weaponry such as the awesome "Fireblade", a multi-purpose blade of immense offensive and defensive power. He is skilled in stealth and martial combat techniques and highly trained to operate individually or as part of a combat team with other members of Cy Coms.
