(I know that should be bought as Extra Life, but the point is that is a floating points RPG and the GM thought receiving multiple Extra Lifes for free cause of a ultra-tech justification would be unfair to the other players, so I asked him about buying Unkillable 2 or 3 with a limitation)

The point of the limitation would be:
As long as the "Clone Machine" is intact, I'll be back.
How would you state this?

Thanks!
You might just use the Superscience, -10% limitation from GURPS Supers. (This is also the same value as a "Rare" Achilles Heel, so it seems reasonable.)

What this means is "Yes, the guy has Unkillable, but he depends on a machine to do it and that means there is a small chance someone might destroy the machine, interrupt the process, etc." The actual details are simply special effects; you have to define them, but you don't have to work out the point costs.

I hope this helps.
