Mortal Kombat X's new triple threat character, Triborg is... actually four robots

The English prefix, "tri-" is derived from Latin and Greek, and means "three". The only explanation I can muster for the following story is that Mortal Kombat's use of "tri-" is, in fact, derived from the language of the series' toothy mutants the Tarkatans, and means "whatever number we like at the time".

To explain: Mortal Kombat X's second round of paid DLC will introduce Triborg, a robotic character who can replicate the moves of Sektor, Cyrax and Robot Smoke. You get it? He's three cyborgs (if you ignore the fact that that's a probably incorrect use of that term).
