There are two Cybotrons. One is an Australian rock band from the 70s and the other is Juan Atkins and Richard Davis from Detroit. While the latter had some rock influence as well, they predominantly did “Detroit electro” driven by drum machines like the 808, prime example being Clear.

Nope. I’m talking about the same Cybotron. Jon-5 was an early member and he was a guitar player. Eventually he quit since the direction changed. But there's still some guitars in some tracks in the Enter album. And Juan Atkins later left because Richard Davis wanted to focus on rock again.
