Cybusman: Difference between revisions

Connected through the [[Cyber-web]], ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Assimilation² (comic story)|Assimilation²]]'') the Cybusmen were capable of wirelessly communicating with each other, and when a Cyber-Leader was killed, their files were transferred to an appointed Cybusman, who would subsequently be upgraded to a new Cyber-Leader. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'') They could wirelessly control electronics, such as John Lumic's wheelchair and the "Ghost Shift" control levers at [[Torchwood Tower]]; this function was associated with a Cybusman bringing its closed fist to its chest. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Age of Steel (TV story)|The Age of Steel]]'', ''[[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|Army of Ghosts]]'') They were also capable of using [[infostamp]]s, allowing them to communicate information to other Cybusmen when they were low on power. They were also able to steal other technology from the [[Dalek]]s whilst inside [[the Void]], such as a [[Dimension Vault]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Next Doctor (TV story)|The Next Doctor]]'') During the Battle of Canary Wharf the Cybusmen were granted use of Preacher rifles in order to better combat the Daleks. These rifles were later reverse engineered and mass produced by the Cybusmen. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'') Presumably as a result of the theorised "cross pollination", these guns were also obtained by the Cybermen of the Doctor's universe and continued to be used by the time of the Cyber Wars.
