Cybusman: Difference between revisions

[[Book (The Whoniverse)|A historical account]] about the Doctor's universe recounted that it had been suggested that cross pollination of the Cybus Cybermen and the Cybermen of [[Mondas]] led to the [[weapons-grade Cyberman]] model used by the [[Cyberiad]], seen at [[Hedgewick's World of Wonders]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Whoniverse (novel)|The Whoniverse]]'') Indeed, the [[Eleventh Doctor]] on several occasions had crossed paths with Cybermen who resembled the characteristic outline of the Cybusmen, but lacked the Cybus logo on their chest and seemed to be native to his universe; existing under the banner of the [[Cyber Legion]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'', ''[[Closing Time (TV story)|Closing Time]]'') However, a branch of Mondasian Cybermen identical to these Cybus-like models also developed without outside influence on a [[Mondas]]ian [[Colony ship (World Enough and Time)|colony ship]], evolving from [[CyberMondan|more primitive Cybermen]]. The [[Twelfth Doctor]] referred to this as simple [[parallel evolution]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') During the [[Cyber Wars of the 250th Millennium|Cyber Wars]] of the far future, Cybermen of the Cyber Legion design were deployed alongside more advanced [[Cyber-Warrior]]s and a hybrid variation. They would also utilise [[Cyberdrone]]s which resembled the heads of Cybus Cybermen. ([[TV]]: ''[[Ascension of the Cybermen (TV story)|Ascension of the Cybermen]]'')
