The very first Cyber-Scouts infiltrated the [[United States Air Force]]'s [[B-52]] bomber holding the [[Dart]], a rocket-powered fighter plane. At least two Scouts were identified in the comic, as they shared no distinguishable markings to that of the standard Cybermen also in the comic strip. ([[COMIC]]: [[Test Flight]]) | |||
Later, when a squadron of [[Cybermen]] were [[Time scoop|time scooped]] to the [[Death Zone]] on [[Gallifrey]] by [[Borusa]], Cyber-Scouts were present when [[Cyber-bomb|Cyber-Bombs]] were placed around the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|Doctor's TARDIS]], in an effort to destroy it. ([[TV]]: [[The Five Doctors]]) | |||
When the [[Sixth Doctor]] was caught up in the [[Cybermen]] invasion of [[Earth]], Cyber-Scouts were shown painted metallic black for camouflage purposes in the [[London Underground]] sewers. Other Cyber-Scouts stationed in the [[Telos]] Cyber base took direct orders from the [[Cyber Controller]] and one Scout even made it into the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|Doctor's TARDIS]], when the Cyber Controller ambushed the Doctor. Other Scouts shown on Telos had again no distinguishable features and patrolled a set route, where some were attacked by [[Stratton]] and [[Bates (Attack of the Cybermen)|Bates]].<ref>http://www.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/cybermen/cybermen-designs/11-attack-stealth-cyberman/</ref> ([[TV]]: [[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack Of The Cybermen]]) | |||

The first Cyber-Scouts used their laser weapons, which were mounted onto their lower torso. ([[COMIC]]: [[Test Flight]]) | |||
In the [[Death Zone]], Cyber-Scouts contributed in setting up the [[Cyber-bomb|Cyber-Bombs]] to destroy the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|Doctor's TARDIS]]. ([[TV]]: [[The Five Doctors]]) | |||
Later, the black painted Cyber-Scouts were armed with modified standard [[Cybermen]] weapons. These new weapons were bigger and more brightly coloured than their standard counterparts.<ref>http://www.thedoctorwhosite.co.uk/cybermen/cybermen-designs/11-attack-stealth-cyberman/</ref> ([[TV]]: [[Attack of the Cybermen (TV story)|Attack Of The Cybermen]]) | |||
