Bionics[]

Sourcebook 1 (original, not revised) page 8:

Characters that can NOT get bionics or cybernetics
Dragons, vampires, and most creatures capable of metamorphosis/shape changers. Most metamorphs regenerate their limbs quickly, so they do not need artificial replacements. More importantly, bionic or cybernetic augmentation destroys their ability to shape change!

pg 9:

A dragon who gets bionics can no longer shape change. They are forever locked into their natural form; an incredible impairment for a creature that is used to the heady freedom that metamorphosis provides. Plus, all its magic will be reduced by half (minor bionics such as two implants or one limb) or completely destroyed (major bionic augmentation) depending on how much bionics have replaced its natural body. The illustration of the dragon in Rifts depicts it using a goggle type optic system, not a bionic eye.

Bionics Sourcebook pg 62:

the dragon's power of bio-regeneration will soon force the implant or bionic limb off and replace it with a true flesh and blood limb
