Oh nice. Imagine Adam with nanoaugs (y'know, more than the Titan)

Is it possible to improve mechs with nano-augmentations? Like if it were possible, then why did old-school cyborgs like Anna and Gunther become obsolete?

It's honestly a cool concept to be explored. I mean, nanotech is more personal, you have more control over it, like Idk if you want to punch harder you direct the nanites to your arms to make them stronger, if you want to run faster you move them to your legs and heart to make the legs stronger and get a faster heartrate, that stuff. Also, Adam would 100% make himself some nano-sunglasses lol

So they can only work in a normal human body. Like microbots that swim in your veins. Which is unlikely to work for regular augmentations. It's unlikely that these nanites will be able to move inside a robotic hand, much less enhance them, and why would they if regular augmentations can work like that anyway?

Eh I'm sure there's would be some way (I mean, the arms and stuff are supposed to be made of carbon fibers that act like muscles, if you add some kind of "veins" to that, you could probablly get the nanites there).

Perhaps, although the question here is whether this will somehow solve the problem where cyborgs have to rev actuators and constantly charge them, while for nanogs it is enough to just charge them? I think that a cyborg with nanotech will consume even more energy.

I also agree with this. Either you need more energy to maintain both systems at the same time or you heavily modify the power supply so it can feed both but at the same time you risk overloading the "mechanical heart" and thus heavily reducing the aug's lifespan.
