The ''Cyborneer Series'' is a Website/YouTube {{Machinima}} comedy/action series of ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' videos, created by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/ShermanZAtank ShermanZAtank]]. It's centered around the Australium Guardians, a group of {{cyborg}}s led by the aforementioned Cyborneer who dedicate their lives to defending the [[AppliedPhlebotinum Australium]] from the forces of evil led by [=CyborSpy=].

The series has a major sub-series called ''Australium Unleashed'', featuring [=CyborScout=] and Drunk Monk's quest to defeat [=CyborMedic=] before he uses a powerful artifact to destroy Cyborneer. A second sub-series called ''The Saxton Hale Saga'' was also started, which is set after ''Australium Unleashed'' and features the Cybors' fight against a rogue clone of Saxton Hale made out of pure Australium. However, that sub-series was [[OrphanedSeries never continued]] after the fifth episode, as the author stopped making [=YouTube=] videos altogether.

This series is set in the same universe as ''WebAnimation/TheMSGSaga'', ''WebAnimation/QuirkyMisadventuresOfSoldineTheCyborg'' and ''WebAnimation/DoppelgangersRampage'', with the stories briefly overlapping at certain points.

The main series ran from January 30th, 2012 to September 6th, 2012 and can be watched [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL819D459B9FE21761 here]].

!This series provides examples of:

* ActionGirl: [=CyborScout=] uses the community-made Fem-Scout model and can kick as much ass as the boys, even serving as the main heroine of ''Australium Unleashed''.
* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: The Saxxy is treated as the ultimate Australium relic, able to turn its wielder into a PhysicalGod. It is the Australium Guardians' task to defend it from the likes of [=CyborSpy=], who gained his powers after only a brief period of holding it.
* AmplifierArtifact: The Australium Solemn Vow featured in ''Australium Unleashed'' serves as this to [=CyborMedic=], directly described as a less powerful counterpart to the Saxxy.
* AnArmAndALeg: [=CyborHeavy=]'s robotic arm is detachable, as demonstrated in ''An unexpected Encounter''; after being pinned to a wall by that arm, he detaches himself from it to free himself.
** In the finale of ''Australium Unleashed'', [=CyborMedic=] destroys Cyborneer's ArmCannon, leaving him missing his right arm until he is healed by Dr. Windhoek.
* AppliedPhlebotinum: Australium, even more so than its ''Team Fortress 2'' counterpart. Other than just making you stronger, in this series it serves as a power source of many of the characters, which is why [=CyborSpy=] and [=CyborMedic=] are so obsessed with getting more of it.
* BadBoss: [=CyborSpy=] is very callous towards his subordinates, enslaving his former BLU team and later killing his own drones to test his abilities.
* BigBadEnsemble: [=CyborSpy=] is the primary villain of the series, with [=CyborMedic=] serving as a close second. The latter takes the spotlight during ''Australium Unleashed''.
* BigDamnHeroes: Many examples.
** Happens multiple times in ''The Cyborshowdown'' with Major Scout Guy and [=TelroSpy=] repeatedly saving and being saved by Cyborneer and [=CyborHeavy=].
** In ''Cyborspy's Scheme'', Cyborneer comes to the Fem-Scout's rescue, and later, [[spoiler:[=CyborMedic=] comes to Cyborneer's rescue.]]
** [=TelroSpy=] risks his life to save Major and [=CyborScout=] during ''[=CyborScout=]'s Training'', [[spoiler:which leads to his disappearance.]]
** During ''An unexpected Encounter'', Drunk Monk is introduced by saving [=CyborScout=] and [=CyborHeavy=] from [=CyborMedic=].
** Major Scout Guy saves [=CyborScout=] from being finished off by [=CyborPyro=] in the third episode of ''Australium Unleashed''.
* TheBigGuy: [=CyborHeavy=], the good-hearted and very strong right-hand man of Cyborneer.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The Soldier Drones were ordinary Soldiers before being equipped with a brainwashing device by [=CyborSpy=], leading them to become his personal {{Mooks}}.
** [[spoiler:[[WebAnimation/QuirkyMisadventuresOfSoldineTheCyborg Dr. Schadenfreude]] attempts to do this to [=CyborMedic=] in the finale of ''Australium Unleashed''. However, he manages to resist it.]]
* CanonImmigrant: [=CyborSniper=], a character who was not created by [=ShermanZAtank=], makes an extended appearance in ''Australium Unleashed: Episode 6''.
* CatchAndReturn: During ''Australium unleashed: Episode 2'', Drunk Monk kicks a bomb back at the Soldier Drones who fired it, exploding them in the process.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: [=CyborMedic=] became a villain because was kidnapped by Cyborneer and used as a lab rat for an experiment.
* {{Crossover}}: The series crosses over with ''WebAnimation/TheMSGSaga'' starting in ''Cyborspy encounters Major Scout Guy'', from which point the latter becomes a major ally of Cyborneer. Multiple following episodes are considered to be part of both series simultaneously.
* {{Cyborg}}: A large majority of the cast, particularly those with names starting in "Cybor", with the only exception being [=CyborPyro=] who is a full robot. While some characters are clear cases of WeCanRebuildHim, others don't clearly explain how they became cyborgs.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Drunk Monk during ''Australium Unleashed''.
* DarkIsEvil: Both [=CyborSpy=] and [=CyborMedic=] dress in almost all-black clothes and are wholly malevolent.
* TheDragon: [=CyborPyro=] to [=CyborMedic=].
* DrunkenMaster: Drunk Monk is a swordsman who is ''only'' able to use his sword skills while inebriated. Sobering up (which can happen ''in the middle of a fight'') turns him useless in combat until he drinks again.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: ''The Rise of [=CyborMedic=]'' is one of the earliest and oddest episodes of the series, where Cyborneer is a borderline villainous character. He kidnaps an innocent Medic and transforms him into the psychotic [=CyborMedic=] (albeit by accident), despite acting as a hero in every other episode. The only reason the audience is ever given is that he wanted to use the Medic as a test subject to his experiments, which doesn't come off as very heroic, and it's never addressed again outside of [=CyborMedic=]'s frankly understandable desire for revenge on him for it.
* EliteMooks: The fully-robotic Soldier Drones are this to the regular ones.
* EnemyMine:
** [=CyborSpy=] and [=CyborMedic=] join forces against Cyborneer during ''Cyborspy: Evil at work''. [[spoiler:This alliance doesn't last, however, as the former eventually betrays the latter in ''Cyborspy's Scheme'', and actually leads to [=CyborMedic=] briefly joining up with Cyborneer to take the Spy down.]]
** Cyborneer, [=CyborSpy=] and [=CyborMedic=] all work together to defeat Commander Bot's army in ''Cybor vs machine''.
* EvilSoundsDeep: [=CyborMedic=] speaks in a deep, electronic baritone.
* ExtraOreDinary: Every character who uses Australium displays some small amount of this, but [=CyborMedic=] makes the most extensive use of it, as his primary power is to transform nearby objects into Australium versions of themselves, which he can use against his enemies.
* EyepatchOfPower: [=CyborScout=]'s visor, gained when she became a cyborg.
* GoldColoredSuperiority: Gold-colored in this series indicates the item is made out of Australium. The Saxxy, the Australium Sapper and Drunk Monk's master's katana are all examples of such.
* GodzillaThreshold: Cyborneer is forced to use [[spoiler:the Saxxy]] to defeat Commander Bot in ''Cybor vs machine''.
* HavingABlast: Once Drunk Monk recovers his master's sword, he gains the power to create remote explosions.
* TheHero: Cyborneer, naturally. [=CyborScout=] takes the spot during ''Australium Unleashed''.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Cyborneer and [=CyborHeavy=] are this. The same can be said for Cyborneer and Major Scout Guy.
* InstantExpert: [=CyborMedic=] immediately knows how to use his powers after he is transformed into a [=TF2=] Freak.
* LaserBlade: [=CyborScout=]'s melee weapon of choice is straight up lightsaber, sounds effects and all.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [=CyborSpy=] enslaves his teammates to mine Australium when he first gains his powers. After Cyborneer beats him for the first time, the now-free teammates give the Spy an offscreen beating.
* MesACrowd: One of [=CyborScout=]'s powers, which she starts using in ''Australium Unleashed'', where she creates two mirror copies of herself.
* MindOverMatter: Cyborneer has limited telekinesis thanks to his Golden Wrench, and [=CyborMedic=] can telekinetically manipulate his Australium items.
** [=CyborSpy=] also has telekinetic powers while holding the Saxxy, which he uses through ''The Engineer and his Australium'', but after the heroes retake the artifact, he loses this power. Later he regained the ability when he obtains the Australium Sapper in ''Cyborspy's Scheme''.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** [=CyborMedic=]'s entire existence is this, after Cyborneer decided to randomly kidnap an innocent Medic and perform experiments on him (despite the fact he's supposed to be TheHero), leading him to be transformed into one of his deadliest enemies.
** Johann Van Windhoek takes his medical oath a bit too seriously, as he decides [[spoiler:healing a defeated [=CyborMedic=]]] is a good idea.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Happens twice in ''Australium Unleashed''.
** [=CyborSpy=] tries to finish [=CyborScout=] off by throwing her down a pit... where the [[AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome Saxxy]] happens to be stored.
** After defeating Drunk Monk, [=CyborSniper=] decides to simply spare his life. This gives the former a chance to get his [[PowerUpFood scrumpy]] and promptly turn the tide in his favor.
* NoEnding: The main series kinda just abruptly ends with ''Cybor vs machine'', with no resolution given to Cyborneer's fight against [=CyborSpy=] and [=CyborMedic=].
* NoSell: Heavy Sumo Guy, who appears in the second episode of ''Australium Unleashed'', is martially trained to the point he can shrug off being set on fire. He attempts to train Drunk Monk with this... with poor results.
* OffWithHisHead: Happens a lot through the series, with Cyborneer or [=CyborSpy=] disposing of their enemies by going for the head or cutting it off with their bladed weapons.
** During ''An unexpected Encounter'', [=CyborHeavy=] rips [=CyborPyro=]'s head off with his bare hand to take it down.
* OneManArmy: [=CyborMedic=] at his strongest is able to fight off Cyborneer, Major Scout Guy, [=CyborScout=] ''and'' Drunk Monk. [[spoiler:He only loses that fight because his AmplifierArtifact shatters, leaving him exposed.]]
* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: [=CyborMedic=] will not allow anyone to kill Cyborneer but him, even to the point of [[spoiler:helping the latter fight off [=CyborSpy=] when he tries to do it.]]
* PlayingWithFire: [=CyborPyro=] can shoot fire from his hands.
* PowerGlows: The characters start visibly glowing gold when using Australium during ''Australium Unleashed''.
* PowerUpFood: Alcohol is this to Drunk Monk. He is unusually inoffensive, but a drink of scrumpy turns him into a menace with his katana, at least until he sobers up.
* {{Revenge}}: [=CyborMedic=]'s primary goal is to kill Cyborneer in revenge for transforming him into what he is.
* RunningGag: The Soldier Drones nonchatantly saying "''I am programmed to DEAD, amen!''" almost every time they die.
* SingleStrokeBattle: Drunk Monk and the robotic Soldier Drone in the second episode of ''Australium Unleashed'' pull this off. Predictably, the former emerges victorious.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: [=CyborScout=] is the only female character in the series.
* SkywardScream: This is Major's reaction to [[spoiler:[=TelroSpy=]'s disappearance in ''Desperate times''.]]
* TakeOverTheWorld: [=CyborSpy=]'s stated goal is world domination.
* TakingTheBullet:
** The Fem-Scout saves Cyborneer from a headshot from [=CyborSpy=] and is shot in the head herself. Cyborneer saves her by bringing her back as [=CyborScout=].
** During ''[=CyborScout=]'s Training'', [=TelroSpy=] saves [=CyborScout=] from Savior by shielding her with his body. Downplayed in that he survives the ordeal.
** [[spoiler:In the finale of ''Australium Unleashed'', Cyborneer shields Drunk Monk from [=CyborMedic=]'s final attack with his body. He ''almost'' dies.]]
* WeCanRebuildHim: ''The Engineer and his Australium'' shows that Cyborneer and [=CyborHeavy=] were ordinary mercenaries before being almost killed by the Spy that would become [=CyborSpy=]. After three months of recovery, they were turned into cyborgs. This later happens to [=CyborScout=] as well.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Savior is not seen or mentioned again after he is defeated by [=TelroSpy=].
** The Australium Sapper, which can supposedly make [=CyborSpy=] a borderline PhysicalGod, is never used or mentioned again after its first appearance.
* WouldHitAGirl: [=CyborSpy=] attacks and almost kills the Fem-Scout who would later become [=CyborScout=] during ''Cyborspy's Scheme'' for defying him.
