Myself 123 wrote: My assumption is that Tails was given pieces of robotic armour as opposed to being cybernised, given then he's fine and dandy is the scene afterwards. Then again, Lost World is so poorly written that he could've actually been cybernised and they didn't bother writing a way out of it. By the looks on it, some of that armour appeared grafted into his flesh... In yet by his next scene he is fine.

As you said, shoddy writting.
