| The '''Cybermen''' were a race of artificially modified [[human]] or [[near-human]]s, stated to be organic brains encased in metal forms. They tend to be commanded by [[Cyber-Lord (Blood of the Cybermen)|Cyber-Lords]].

| ==History==
| |
| A Cyberman army was buried under the ice in the [[Arctic Circle]] and had been for tens of thousands of years after being hit by a temporal storm. An excavation began to awaken the army, releasing [[Cybermat (Blood of the Cybermen)|Cybermats]] which in turn created [[Cyberslave]]s. The [[Eleventh Doctor]] arrived on May 4th 2010 and stopped their awakening. He blew up their base and put them back into stasis. ([[VG]]: ''[[Blood of the Cybermen]]'')
| |
| | |
| The Doctor acquired a chest plate from one of these Cybermen and kept it in the TARDIS drawing room. ([[VG]]: ''[[TARDIS (The Adventure Games)|TARDIS]]'')
| |
| | |
| ==Behind the scenes==
| |
| *The Cybermen of ''Blood'' were not stated to be either [[Cyberman|Mondasian]] or the [[Cyberman (Pete's World)|Cybus]] kind; they ''resemble'' the Cybus kind but without the Cybus logo. The Cybermen of ''Good Man'' were stated by [[Peter Hoar]] to be "different Cybermen" to the Cybus race, because they lacked the logo <ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/dw/videos/p00hghnb Key Scene Commentary 2]</ref> - it is assumed for the purposes of the wiki that both stories have the same Cybermen (though ''Blood'' have their own variant logo).
| |
| *The Cybermen in these stories may be intended to be the Mondasians: they possess similar legions in the future (''Good Man''), ''Blood'' has them using Cyber-Mats and said to have conquered "races", and a "Who Fact" on Cybermen in the game refers solely to the Mondasian Cybermen (another on Cyber-Biology refers to "the Cybermen created by [[John Lumic]]" as if they're a different group).
| |
| **Cybermen resembling the Cybus kind but having Mondasian attributes also appear in
| |
| ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'', but they possess the Cybus logo and so are considered to be the Pete's World Cybermen for the purposes of this wiki. (''In real life, the suits from 2006 are reused to save money'')
| |
| *Their [[Electro Attack]] is a ranged weapon, resembling the attack seen in ''[[The Moonbase]]'' and ''[[The Tomb of the Cybermen]]''.
| |
| *It is unknown how the Doctor acquired the chest plate seen in [[TARDIS (The Adventure Games)|''TARDIS'']]. As the short script ''[[Wish You Were Here (The Adventure Games)|Wish You Were Here]]'' occurs directly after ''[[Blood of the Cybermen]]'' and leads directly into ''TARDIS'' (where the chest plate is seen), there is no time for the Doctor to take a chest plate and he is not seen carrying out out of the GSO base at the end of ''Blood''.
