Yea, but that's assuming it's standing next to a propane tank. dispite what hollywood has taught us, they aren't always arround.
and also take into consideration, we are talking like we are assuming that the mage is going to go first... practicly every cyber-zombie out there has a set of wires, making them quite a bit faster than the mage they are fighting... if I was the mage, i'd be working on defence first, because robocop is going to go a couple of times before they even get to think about what to do.
