* As with much of their appearances in [[Series 5 (Doctor Who)|Series 5]], [[Series 6 (Doctor Who)|Series 6]] and [[Series 7 (Doctor Who)|Series 7]], the origin of the Cybermen present is not made completely clear. The [[Fourth Doctor|Fourth Doctor's]] encounter with the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|original Cybermen]] in the flashback shows that their origins can be traced back to [[Mondas]]. Despite this, they use the [[Cybus Industries|Cybus]] terms "Delete" and "Upgrade" in Issue 8. | |||
** Initially, the Cybermen of Cybus Industries appear but by Issue 3, the 'C' on their logos changes to the blank circle introduced in ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'', meaning the use of the Cybus logo was likely an error. These [[Cyber Legion]]s Cybermen also use "Delete" and "Upgrade" in [[GAME]]: ''[[Blood of the Cybermen (video game)|Blood of the Cybermen]]'', [[GAME]]: ''[[The Eternity Clock (video game)|The Eternity Clock]]'' and [[PROSE]]: ''[[Plague of the Cybermen (novel)|Plague of the Cybermen]]'' but not in their TV appearances. | |||
** The use of both logos ''can'' be explained in-universe. Since [[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'' sees the Cybus Cybermen using similar ships and weapons to the Cyber Legions, a merge between the two Cyber variants in possible. Writer [[Neil Gaiman]] stated that he believed this theory, and in his Series 7 episode ''[[Nightmare in Silver (TV story)|Nightmare in Silver]]'', two Cybus Cybermen are seen along with a Cyber Legions Cyberman. As a way of explaining this continuity error, the Cyber armada in ''Assimilation²'' may be comprised of Cybermen with Cybus logos and Cybermen without Cybus logos. No merge between the two Cybermen has ever been explicitly confirmed in-universe, however. | |||
