Seems to me it's not a cyborg in the traditional sense, since a cyborg would be in full control of its mechanical additions.

I wouldnt really call the terminator a cyborg. A cyborg is a living organism enhanced by cybernetic implants, not a cyborg with organic implants.

Oh sure, go ahead and laugh... "Hahaha! Cyborg insects indeed! What a crazy fool!"

Well, the next time you're walking home from school or work and out of nowhere a swarm of mind controlled flesh eating locusts descend upon you and skeletonize you in seconds don't come crying to me!
