However, this began to cause issues as later stories returned to presenting standing forces of Cybermen in space in the Doctor's universe (rather than intruders from a parallel universe), but used the unique design of the Cybus Cybermen to depict them. The video game ''[[The Mazes of Time (video game)|The Mazes of Time]]'' went so far as to show "Cybus Cybermen", with the characteristic chest logo, in the "Ice Tombs of [[Telos]]" section of the game. ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'', where Cybus Cybermen make a token reference to having crossed over from another universe also threatened by the Cracks in Time, was the last explicit appearance of "Pete's World" Cybermen on televised ''Who''; starting with ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'', the show regularly used a version of the Cybus props who lacked the "C" logo on their chest, allowing viewers to assume that these were simply Mondasian (or otherwise "prime-universe") Cybermen who bore a coincidental design similarity to their parallel-universe cousins.

Indeed a website launched by the BBC for the promotion of Series 2 2, ''International Electromatics'', it had been indicated that Cybus Industries derived their Cyberman technology from the deactivated bodies of alien Cybermen found at the North Pole; this implied that Mondasian Cybermen had actually existed in [[Pete's World]] also, thus making it possible that the so-called Cybus Cybermen designs reflected a "natural" Mondasian design, rather than being conditional on the [[John Lumic]] origin story peculiar to the Pete's World Cybermen.
