Red Eyes, Take Warning: A signature attribute of the cybernetic faction. 
Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Pretty much all Strogg, seeing how many of their forms consist of a lifeform with weaponry attached to it.Now it's up to humanity to shut them down once and for all. Neglectful Precursors: Whoever's responsible for the Strogg program probably didn't realize their creation would go on to wreak havok around the galaxy.One of their pinnacles is their Railgun technology blending powered weaponry with ballistics.
Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: Zig-Zagged, the Strogg use conventional ballistics alongside energy-based weapons. The Stream Protectors are also human-like but their jaw is very different. The Makron, for instance, appears to be humanoid, but all that remains is their head wired into a Spider Tank. Humanoid Alien: Many Strogg were once Human but some are merely human-like. In fact, their assimilation process makes the Borg look humane as they reassemble their prisoners while they're still conscious and not even tranquilized as the Borg prefer. Expy: The Strogg are functionally Captain Ersatz Borg, due to their aggressive mission to assimilate new lifeforms into their army only with a scavenged, Used Future design to their technology, and much more brutality in the assimilation process. Even past "death", the cybernetics can still control and maintain the body for the Stroggs' needs. Empty Shell: The victims of Stroggification are forced to live, but their bodies no longer obey their will. Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: The cybernetics themselves don't eat the soul, it's the neurocyte activation that the Humans need to be concerned about. Brainwashed and Crazy: Their captures are forced to act against their will due to their neurocyte implants. Bald of Evil: All Strogg(the humanoid ones at least), except for Iron Maidens. This is Hand Waved by the Strogg injecting steroids and nanomachines repairing the cells, and the story even acknowledges that some transfers end in failure, but one may wonder if sedation would save the Strogg a lot of trouble. #QUAKE 4 TV TROPES LICENSE#
Artistic License Medicine: The Stroggification process is so brutal to POWs that it's a wonder victims don't die from shock.The Assimilator: The Strogg directives make them seek out and bring new species into their fold to exploit their specialties in terms of a desired role that needs filling.
However, they also used hand-held weaponry as shown with the Tactical Strogg. Arm Cannon: A favorite prothesis of the Strogg, used for tools as well as weaponry.The Strogg allegedly wanted to conquer Earth to have a staging area to invade dozens of other civilizations, provoking humanity to strike back against their home world of Stroggos and end the Strogg menace at its source. If that is true, then supposedly they went rogue and became a threat to the galaxy in their own right, assimilating various species into their ranks. Rumor has it that the Cyborg Strogg were created for a war in another part of the galaxy.
