http://marathon.bungie.org/story/scrapbook.html#nueveback is Rob McLees' relevant bit in the Scrapbook. From there: Rob wasn’t content to simply revise older aliens; he created several new ones as well. One such creation was the “cyborg tank” with its Michael Jordanesque weaponry - the bouncing bomb. These were originally conceived as surgically-altered Bobs, an “enemy” the player might feel bad about killing. (Then again, some people like to kill Bobs.) Rob explains how the idea arose:
Dunno whether or not that qualifies the "cyborgs as altered BOBs" idea as official canon, but that's as close as you come to their origins (so far as my quick searches found; there should probably be a question mark in the middle of that first sentence of McLees explanation). In M2, though, Blake does mention them on KYT:
