      I could very well be wrong, but i think the difference between just 'cybernetically enhanced' and full 'cyborg' depends on whether the brain is also part machine

    The only possible plot was for the bad guy to use his corrupted bad guy robot to kill the only soldiers that could track them down and kill them, then escape with the information and the super soldier to sell to the highest bidder.
    But it's clear that wasn't in the movie unless you missed something.

Seems those straight to video guys never had an original thought.
