"There is no one type of cyborg…

Large cyborg entities are meta-cyborgs, including gigantic infantryment wearing mind-controlled exoskeletons (a Los Alamos Labs project), gigantic human0machine weapons systems (such as Star Wars in some of its more grandiose formulations), or even world-wide (empire or the UN) or galaxy-wide (the United Federation of Planets or the "Borg") cyborg body politic, good or evil

Semi-Cyborgs are organisms that are only intermittently cyborgs, like dialysis patients linked to the life-giving machine 30 hours a week; or some small semi-industrial countries which are only part of the world economy and world telecommunications culture at a limited number of specific places and moments.

Multi-Cyborgs are combinations of various types of cyborgs, or have the ability to shift amongf flavors of cyborgs

Omni-Cyborgs make of everything they interface with a cyborg, like omni-cyborgian theory of articles such as this one

A neo-cyborg has outward form of cyborgism, such as an artificial limb but lacks full homeostatic integration of prosthesis

A proto-cyborg lacks full embodiment

The ultra-cyborg is an enhanced cybernetic organism, greater in its realm than any mere machine or all-meat creature, as with soldier cyborgs, literally, or with some athletes and mega-stars, transformed through drugs, foods, the body-sculptin of exercise, cosmetic surgery, or digital enhancement of their voice and image

A hyper-cyborg might be one where cyborg emodiments were layered or in some other way cobbled together into greater and greater cyborg bodies

A retro-cyborg would be one whose prosthetic-cybernetic transformation was designed to restore some lost form; in the case of a pseudo0-retro-cyborg, a lost form that never was

The meta-cyborg is the non-cyborg citizen in cyborg society, it is cyborg society itself. They are not cyborgs in the strict definition of the technical term, but in context and process they are most certainly cyborgian
