The regenerating drives the cyber out because regen tries to bring the
physical body
back in snyc with the in the astral template defined natural state aka the
unaltered
body.
Shifting doesn`t drives out the cyber per see, but because of the altering of
the shape
the cyberware doesn`t matches the new shape and so hurts the body.
the shapeshift spell uses a transformational effect to alter every body part
including
the implants, so it doesn`t drives implants out, but since the shape of the
cyber is altered it fails to functions as long as the spell is sustained.
