Cyber-Scouts, also known as Cyber-Troopers, were a division of Cybermen that were specialised for reconnaissance.
On Mondas, Cyber-Scouts operated Cyber-Scout craft. (COMIC: The Dead Heart, The Prodigal Returns)
Some Cyber-Scouts were painted to best camouflage with their environment. A number of Neomorph Cyber-Scouts that patrolled the London Underground were painted black, making them nearly invisible in the dark tunnels. (TV: Attack of the Cybermen)
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
On Mondas[[edit] | [edit source]]
A Cyber-Scout was sent in a Cyber-Scout craft on a mission to find the Lizard Kings. Crashing in a jungle, the scout encountered a village of human Mondasians, who believed it to be a servant of the gods. Raven, a heretic, was selected by their religious leader to accompany the scout on its mission to find the Lizard Kings. At the edge of the Blisterlands, they encountered a cybernetic dinosaur which conveyed them to the Dead Heart of the World, an underground base. Inside, they revived Kho'dja, an augmented Lizard King, who told them the history of Mondas. The Cyberman killed Kho-Dja, declared that Mondas would belong to the Cyber-race, and had Raven placed in a conversion unit. (COMIC: The Dead Heart)

Later history[[edit] | [edit source]]
On Telos, Neomorph Cyber-Scouts usually patrolled a set route. They were targeted by Stratton and Bates. Other Cyber-Scouts travelled back with the Cyber-Leader in a failed effort to avert the destruction of Mondas. (TV: Attack of the Cybermen)
A Cyber-Scout was Time Scooped to the Death Zone by Borusa, where it was used to locate the Doctors, as the Cybermen planned to find the Doctor's TARDIS and destroy it with Cyber-bombs. (TV: The Five Doctors)
