Talk:Blood of the Cybermen (video game)

Cybermen

It's never explained, why have the Cybermen removed the Cybus logo? Are these the Mondasian Cybermen and if so, how come they look exactly like the Cybus Cybermen? --TehDash 20:52, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

• My guess is the logo show's that they're not Cybus cybermen. Reverting back to previous models would have confused the majority of new fans (mainly children), and a brand new design would have taken up too much time/money.Geek Mythology 10:46, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

• The latest episodes (The Pandorica Opens especially) proved the Cybus Cybermen continue to exist in our universe, and are now a sea-faring race. Either the ones in the game are a future version of these, or perhaps there is another theory. Is it possible that the two types of Cyberman at some point meet and merge into one single race? --Samoth 15:16, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
• Uh Sea-Faring? I think you mean Space Faring Fan555 17:16, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
• I assumed the Cracks weakened the barriers between universes, and that was why the Cybusmen were in our universe. After the events of the Big Bang, the Cracks never existed, therefore, I think the parallel cybermen are still stuck in the void. As this is set, before the finale, they could be parallel cyberman, but where's the logo? My theory: they are Mondasian cybermen. Why do they look like Cybusmen? Well, with a lot of retconning I've come up with a theory: In the future, some groups of cybermen developed Time Travel (some Big Finish Audios, most notably "The Reaping", confirm this). One of those groups adopted the design seen in this story (and stated saying: Delete!), and eventually had an army buried under the Arctic (essentially leaving their home time, causing the Cyberman in the reaping to believe it was the last). Due to the time travelling, knowledge of these future cyberman was obtained by earlier cybermen some time before "The Invasion". After the events of the Invasion, information on the Cybermen was left in the files of International Electromatics. However, these events (or at least most of them) happened in Pete's World. John Lumic got the inspiration for the Cybermen after purchasing International Electromatics, and chose to build them to the future design. TemporalSpleen 17:26, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Infobox

Shouldn't it say story number instead of series number? And why doesn't the previous/next box appear at the bottom?? Geek Mythology 14:57, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Why isn't the previous story showing up? The Thirteenth Doctor 10:55, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

Timeline

• How do we know this episode was after the Big Bang and not before it??? lottie01 15:49, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
  • i would say it was before because amy didnt know who the cybermen were Revanvolatrelundar 15:58, June 26, 2010 (UTC)
  • Exactly presuming she doesn't meet the cybermen in tonight's ep (sorry forgot to sign - lottie01 16:07, June 26, 2010 (UTC))

Technically this should be before the Lodger due to The Pandorica Opens being right after the Lodger86.181.146.2 16:28, June 26, 2010 (UTC)

The Doctor confirmed that a period of about 3 weeks occurred between the Lodger and the Pandorica Opens, plenty of time could have happened then. Also, episode can't happen after the Big Bang because not only did Rory join the Doctor and Amy in the Tardis, but they're heading immediately to the Christmas special, so the games have to happen between Victory of the Daleks (and by extension City of the Daleks) and Vampires in Venice, or between Cold Blood and the Pandorica Opens.

If it leads straight to the Christmas Special, what's the History Hunt going to be?

• Since the events of The Big Bang practically meant that the Alliance was never formed, Amy Pond would not have met the Cybermen and almost been assimilated. Therefore the next time she sees them, she would not be able to recognise them. This still doesn't explain why she's travelling alone with the Doctor after the events of The Big Bang though. --Samoth 15:46, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
• Technically speaking, it's never stated she never knew what the Cybermen were, only that she didn't recognise the arm for what it was. Just throwing that in. - I. Am. Excalibur-117-^{(talk • contribs)} 16:23, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
  • No, she didn't know what a Cyberman was, the Doctor had to explain it to her. The story takes place after the Big Bang, as Amy hadn't met them before in it (did she ask about them in this, I haven't played it yet). The absence of Rory has not been explained yet, but there is no need of it yet. I'm pretty sure that next series there will be a time when it is just the Doctor and Amy and we'll be able to fit it in there. As for the Christmas Special, there is absolutely no indication that the next event they go to is going to be the Christmas Special. If it was to do with the orient express event, I'm sure they'd show the title. The Thirteenth Doctor 17:13, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
  • Really? I have a bad memory, nevermind then. This is the problem with Doctor Who, the production team never try to stay consistant across all the different media. Most likely it occurs at some point after the Big Bang, presumably at some point in the Series 6 timeframe.- I. Am. Excalibur-117-^{(talk • contribs)} 17:19, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Title Comment

I just want to say that if The Cybermen are robots,that means they don't have blood.But I do have a theory.Well actually two.Theory number one:The Cyberslaves might have blood.Theory number 2:It might mean the blood of the people they kill.I have not played it(nor City Of The Daleks for that matter)but I have seen in the trailer that a cyberslave electrocuted someone by throwing its electricity over a short distance.Uh oh does this mean they are more powerful than the Cybermen.Though in a poster in dwa there is a poster of some cybermen with a Sontaran and one of the cybermen have the bolt between both hands.195.93.21.2 14:55, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
