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.

July 22nd, 2011 - 11:46amWhat do you mean “Cyber odd”?
Intergalactic
July 22nd, 2011 - 11:45amYes, who knows… Although it seems unlikely, sorry. 🙂

July 22nd, 2011 - 11:45amYou don’t. You just wander around Cardiff, and you spot them. Word of advice, don’t spoil the Doctor Who secrets. Moffat will hate you forever, and you wouldn’t want that, would you?
Intergalactic
July 22nd, 2011 - 11:44amYes! Brilliant! Molto bene! The Cybermats are coming back!! 😆 😆 😆 This is the best news I have ever heards, since they announced the Silurians were coming back last year! 🙂

July 21st, 2011 - 7:40amI think the pandorica cybermen should have had a plain chestplate because the cybus cybermen are trapped in the void and the same with the next doctor

July 14th, 2011 - 4:00pmi think that the cybermats will be double agents,and work for the cybus cybermen but really work for the mondas cybermen so they know what the cybus cybermen are doing.i think the mondas cybermen will have greater wepons than the others and try to destroy them.also maybe the cybus cybermen will go to the doctor for help
WHO knows?
please comment

July 6th, 2011 - 7:30pmI am glad these are back, as a kid they were the only things that ever scared me!

July 1st, 2011 - 2:36pmThese must be of Cybus kind.
Intergalactic
July 1st, 2011 - 2:36pmThere isn’t any “real” Cybermen, there are loads of different types, Cybus, Mondasian, Arctic ones in “Blood of the Cybermen”, and the Cyber-Legion ones in “A Good Man Goes to War”. I do count the Cybus ones as the Cyberman, because they are, and so are the Mondasian ones, the Arctic ones and the Cyber-Legion ones. Their importance is all equal.

June 29th, 2011 - 6:25pmi think they will and does this mean that the cybermen in the second half of the series or not.
Intergalactic
June 4th, 2011 - 4:48pmI agree. I hope the real Cybermen are coming back.

April 21st, 2011 - 4:52pmSPOILERS ALERT SPOILERS ALERT
i saw a picture of the new telos and mondas cybermen. they look
the same but they dont have a c on their chest and it is just plain. what happens is that the doc goes back to telos(somehow) and finds the cybus cybers against the telos and mondas cybers and the doc says thats cool and walks away. the cybermen stop and take the battle to earth for reinfocments grabbing anyone possible and the doc says not cool and tries to stop them… this is the cliffhanger ep between spring and autumn. dont blame me if this isnt true as i read this and the sight has not said if this is true or false so dont get your hopes up

March 19th, 2011 - 8:03amcool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Love Cybermen
March 17th, 2011 - 8:35amGood name, yes, except I suspect the lead monsters will be the cybermen and that the cybermats will be a part of their dastardly plan- so, though they shall be done justice I’m sure- they won’t be the ‘major’ monster in that episode I would guess having seen all the old ‘cybermat’ episodes…
