kman,
Here is a snippet that might help get you started. The male_mutants (guard.mdl) fade in just after the level loads. Pressing the 2 key (change to your panel button) fades the male_mutants out and fades the female_mutants (cbabe.mdl) in. The 1 key reverses this process. I used the create and remove method instead of the visible and invisible method to save framerate. Maybe you can use this template to add your cyborgs and other races. This has been tested in a empty level with the exception of a position (default camera).

Oops, I forgot to put this in the code format. Actually it is easier to copy and paste this way.
