If you could have a Robotic body part what would it be?

I would get an arm like that guy from Treasure Planet. That's always been my inspiration for a robotic arm.

I'd trade in one of my ears for a satelite dishe. Would be fun to also hear radio frequencies and watch tv in my head. The ultimate internet pirate.

I think a GiTS body wins. But for a specific part, I would have to say a robotic torso, because
a) bullets bounce off (the torso only, the only thing is getting shot somewhere else and wondering what use a nearly indestructible torso is when you got shot in the leg)
b) why not have the wings/jetpack in the torso? fold it up all nice and compact-like and you still got space for...
c) abs of steel that open up to reveal... a plasma cannon.

that way i can fly, kill things, and bring home the groceries-all at the same time.

Neck, then whenever someone looks at me and tilts their head.. i can do that thing from the exorcist and swivel it 360 degrees and making them gasp like someone shoved a poker up their arse

Yeah, collapsible or removable wings would be amazing.

A cyborg brain, ghost in the shell style would be pretty mint - that is, if you were the only one, and so unlikely to be hacked, heh. Being able to enter a virtual world, interact with it as naturally as walking and talking, the level of gaming that full immersion virtual reality would offer... heh, it would be pretty sweet.

If I could have had any super power, I would probably have gone for super speed, so perhaps a performance booster implant, meshed into my nervous system and linked to muscle enhancers and/or synthetic muscles would be up my street. Would be pretty bitching, to be honest.

Robotic pretty much everything. Humanity is overrated. Give me a body like in GiTS. Just without the whole "My god-damned brain is hackable" part.
Yup, i pretty much agree with the both of you, this is def the way to go. GITS = <3

A total replacement of my bone, nervous system and muscle structure with ultra-light materials. I'd be about twice as fast, 4 times stronger, have ultra-fast reflexes, great vision and hearing and it would be almost impossible to break my "bones".

Isn't that the idea behind the Spartan-II's in Halo?

I would have a giant robotic arm that acts as a crazy bigass giant killer cannon of death. That said, I would also like to be black with an afro and "talk like dis, crazy foo'" (just like Barrett off FFVII, or Mr. T. Ohhh Yeahhh...)

Well, my foot is in an immense amount of pain right now, so I'd like to replace it with a sweet robot foot that shoots miniature ballistic missiles out of the toes.
But normally, I'd probably replace my left arm with a robotic arm that switches between a laser, an axe, a baseball bat, and a flamethrower.
All of which have a cupholder attached. Cupholders are nifty little gadgets.

...Just one? Well I'm gonna say a nueral computer interface. With a Little AI that can hack things for me and the like.
Pretty much what I'd want, but I'd prefer to be an AI myself. Also, with the ability to possess other people, Church-style.
