Anyway, putting this back on track: seems reasonable. Shifting is a crazy process, and it makes sense that the 'wave woulddo anything it could to avoid such a biomod. It'd be hard to engineer a system to make more than superficial changes safely. Meat is a lot squishier and less tolerant than metal. Something like classical/modern werewolves would just be hard to design safely, and just wouldn't make sense for the sheer number of changes and the dangers involved.
I'd wonder about pony biomods, though. I could see a 'shifter' biomod for them that goes for minimum changes necessary between full quadruped and an ananthromorphic form. Shifting forehooves to hands, adjusting muscles in the back and waist slightly, that sort of thing.
Eh, anyone got any other reasons why the wave might want to avoid changer biomods?
