Cyber-Commander
Cyber-Commander was a Cyberman rank.
Zheng was the first one to exist. (AUDIO: Spare Parts, The Reaping)
The Cybermen of the Cyber-Mainframe used Cyber-Commanders. One Cyber-Commander assisted in Hive Section 49's attempted invasion of the Earth of the Doctor's universe, starting with the UNIT base Fortress Island. (AUDIO: Code Silver) It was destroyed, along with all the other invading Cybermen, by the War Master, when he used his temporary status as the "Cyber-Master" to connect the dimension gate to the Doctor's universe to infinite parallel Earths, including the Earths that the Cybermen failed to commence full dimension seeding on, poisoning their power supply. (AUDIO: Master of Worlds)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Although the Cyber-Commander of AUDIO: Code Silver and AUDIO: Master of Worlds is never referred to by name in said stories, its name is listed in the credits.
- In the original script for The Dark Dimension, the story introduced a new type of Cyberman, the "Cybercommander". Its skeletal design has been commonly associated with the project and was also used to promote the unproduced Cyberwar by BBV Productions.
'The Cybermen were not like any we've ever seen before,' says Rigelsford. 'There was a specific Cyberman who was being made by the people at Henson's Creature Workshop. The guy who designed it was Chris Fitzgerald . It had holes in its knuckles and there was a point where it held up its hand, made a fist, and six-inch blades shot out of its knuckles! It was like Wolverine out of the X-Men comics; Cyberrine!'[1]
- The Dark Dimension design, including a black handled Cyber-Leader, was pitted against the Fourth Doctor in Prologue: The Fourth Doctor.
