Let me rephrase that, "The Transylians developed technology and turned themselves into cyborgs to overthrow and exterminate the Vladats."

I suppose the reason they look patchwork is for the same reason as the Igors in Discworld. They're obssessed with surgery and body modification, switching body parts and using their stitches as a way to signify clan affiliation. Perhaps, as with the tattoos of the Taurons in Battlestar Galactica/Caprica, their stitches also tell the story of their lives.
