Side-stepping the politics that make this a poor idea, you couldn't just build a machine to do this. In theory, you could surgically attach/graft (preferrably fake) Faunus/animal parts to your body, but that wouldn't be a good idea at all. At best, it would be comparable to bolting an  aircraft's radar systems to a Hummvee, without actually giving any power. A wasteful and useless addition for the sake of cosmetics that is likely detrimental. I don't want to touch the worst case.

Your best bet would be some kind of biological means of slowly changing their DNA, or if you want to be sneaky, have it change the reproductive DNA of the intial hosts/carriers. That way they spread it, assuming it can be spread, and you've got time to refine the design and make plans before they notice.
