Cyberman (Blood of the Cybermen)

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

The Cybermen were a race of artificially modified Human or near-Humans.

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 Cybermats which in turn created Cyberslaves. The 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)

Behind the scenes

  • It is not known stated whether these Cybermen were of the Mondasian or Cybus kind. They greatly resemble the Cybus Cybermen and are said to be brains in metal shells ala the Cybus creations. However, a "Who Fact" on Cybermen in the game refers solely to the Mondasian Cybermen, while another on Cyber-Biology refers first to Cybermen and then "the Cybermen created by John Lumic" as if they're a different group; the Cybermats, their awareness of the fact that the Doctor is a Time Lord, and his reference to "races" conquered by them further indicate that they are the Mondasian versions. As well as that, thereElectro Attack, more ressembles the Mondasian one seen in The Moonbase and The Tombs of the Cybermen, than the Cybus one, as its a ranged attack. Furthermore, these Cybermen lack the Cybus logo and instead feature a stylised logo of a Cyberman's head.
