If I want a complexity within a character, it should distinguish his (life) story and motives rather than his body and appearance. Making him a triple hybrid - reptile + human + robot - might seem over the top to me. Lastly, Reptile is already a hybrid between a reptile and a human. they're either inherently powerful enough (shokans, Tarkatans, Zaterrans.) or they have been enhanced already long ago (Shang Tsung). Plus, all the Outworld warriors are already pretty much powerful on their own and don't have need for enhancements, i.e. Why would Reptile want to join Cyrax and Sektor? And why would Lin Kuei want to enlist him? Perhaps only if there were some 'cyborg-converter' societies in Outworld, which doesn't go hand in hand because Outworld, as said by Raiden, never relied on technology.
