=== Hybrids === | |||
During the gap between the broadcasts of ''[[The Invasion (TV story)|The Invasion]]'' and ''[[Revenge of the Cybermen (TV story)|Revenge of the Cybermen]]'', a number of hybrid [[Cyber-suit]]s were crafted out of existing Cyberman parts for publicity purposes.<ref>http://www.themindrobber.co.uk/mystery-sixties-cyberman.html</ref> | |||
* The [[Cyber-head]] of a "late [[CyberFaction]]" along with the [[chest unit]] of an "early CyberFaction" was fitted to what was the [[Cyber-body]] of the [[CyberTelosian Controller]] to form a new Cyber-suit which posed with [[Third Doctor]] actor [[Jon Pertwee]] for the [[Radio Times]] in [[1970 (production)|1970]]. Notable for being potentially the first appearance of a live-action Cyberman in colour, its image later appeared on the classic [[Doctor Who website]] and ''[[The Doctors Revisited]]''. <ref>http://www.themindrobber.co.uk/mystery-sixties-cyberman.html</ref> | |||
* The ''Radio Times{{'}}'' ''[[Doctor Who Special (1973)]]'' featured a pair of Cyberman pursuing [[Polly Wright]] and [[Ben Jackson]]. One suit was a mostly standard [[CyberTelosian]], with head, chest unit and body but with the legs of the Controller]], whilst the other was a "late CyberFaction" head atop a standard Telosian body. | |||
* Elsewhere in the ''Doctor Who Special'', another Cyberman hybrid appeared among a group of monsters menacing the Third Doctor. This Cyberman was an "early CyberFaction" head atop a CyberTelosian body. | |||
* In 1974, a Cyberman which appeared for a photocall with [[Fourth Doctor]] actor [[Tom Baker]] was an "early CyberFaction" with the chest unit and [[exoskeletal rod]]s of the Telosians. | |||
=== Other matters === | |||
* In a website launched by the BBC for the promotion of Series 2, International Electromatics, it was indicated that Cybus Industries derived their Cyberman technology from the deactivated bodies of alien Cybermen found at the North Pole. | * In a website launched by the BBC for the promotion of Series 2, International Electromatics, it was indicated that Cybus Industries derived their Cyberman technology from the deactivated bodies of alien Cybermen found at the North Pole. | ||
