    “Reverse centaur” is a super clunky term, I think we should say “Minotaur” instead.

    A Centaur has the head of a person and the body of a beast, a Minotaur is the opposite.

      Minotaurs have some potential for badass imagery. Reverse Centaur sounds intentionally clunky.

      Pretty sure a superb writer like Cory chose reverse centaur for a reason - to make it clearer that a human is becoming the servant of a machine.
