They’re Back – After 35 Years Absence
They’re Back – after 35 Years of absence (On Television)
Recent filming pictures have included images of the return of an advanced guard of saboteurs for a well known enemy. You can see a history below.
If you do not wish to know any more then don’t click the spoiler tag!
Our own impression of the new Cybermats…
Cybermats act as the advanced guard and are mainly used for sabotage. This makes things easier for the Cybermen as the Cybermats are much smaller and can easily gain access to forbidden or secure areas.
1st Generation of Cybermats
The Cybermats first featured in The Tomb of the Cybermen. The original Cybermats had crystalline eyes and a segmented body with sensor fronds along their base.
2nd Generation of Cybermats
The Cybermats that appeared in The Wheel in Space were very similar to the ones that had appeared in The Tomb of the Cybermen. They had stronger armour and solid photoreceptors for eyes.
3rd Generation of Cybermats
The 3rd generation of Cybermats were a lot larger than the previous versions, they still had a segmented body but no eyes. The Cybermat that appeared in Revenge of the Cybermen could be remote controlled.
Blood of the Cybermen
The Cybermats made a return in the 2010 Doctor Who Adventure Games Blood of the Cybermen.

March 12th, 2011 - 11:59amAll cyberman designs- both new and old- rock! If they change again I have no doubt that the next design will be great as well! Exciting and sad if we see the cybus ones go…

March 11th, 2011 - 11:37pmWere there 2 different sized Cybermats in Tomb of the Cybermen? I’m sure there were the smaller sized Cybermats, like the ones Victoria was attacked by, then there were the slightly larger ones which the Cybermen place on the ramps. Can someone confirm this or am i losing my marbles good and proper?

March 11th, 2011 - 4:25pmIm glad Cybermats are returning cause when I watch a Cyberman story in some of those episodes I think without Cybermats sometimes I think it looks a bit boring but now that they are coming back I can’t wait. I hope the Cybermats are created from the Mondas Cybermen I do like the Cybus Cybermen but this time I hope its the Cybermen of Mondas.

March 9th, 2011 - 8:42pmToo funny – I was just reading an article on Wikipedia about them, pondering whether they’d ever make a return . . .

March 9th, 2011 - 8:26pmI was really hoping they would be back one day and I like the design
Jason doctorwhoone
March 9th, 2011 - 8:22pmLooks like they’ve gone back to their 60’s design. I quite like it, even thou ive allways been a big fan of the bigger and longer version from Revenge of the Cybermen, mainly cos it had no eyes which made it look for me terrorfying. Something tells me thou these new Cybermats have been designed by the Cybus Industries Cybermen and not our own, since the tear drop looks the same as the Cybus Cybermen, thou some 60’s Cybermen also had the tear drop feature so im happy to be proven wrong. Welcome back Cybermats !! 😀
