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 12th, 2012 - 9:50pmIn “The Next Doctor”, it was said that when the Daleks broke down the walls between dimensions with the reality bombs, everything in the Void died except a group of Cybermen, who were destroyed. So unless some are still on Parallel Earth, the Cybus Cybermen are(thankfully) extinct.
McGann is the Doctor.

October 4th, 2011 - 8:49amSo was the Cyber controller. Nice list, bring back the sea devils and the Axons. I always loved the Vervoids.

October 4th, 2011 - 8:44amWeren’t they the more primitive descendants of the Marca, who had devolved brains, but a evolved bodies made to feast on the gases of hovercars.
My memory of that episode is a bit blurry.
McGann is the Doctor
September 30th, 2011 - 11:05amI thought the portrayal of the Cybermen in this Series was very good, better than we’ve seen them inrecent years were they were really jsut nothing but monsters, not really a menace just a threatening monster that tries to get you, really.
THough it was great, yeah. 😉
McGann is the Doctor
September 30th, 2011 - 11:03amThey weren’t really the original macra in Series 3, I think they just called them the macra at the last minute, you know ? But they were really just primitive giant-monsters in that episode (Gridlock) so they were sortof like beastly and devolved macra, not the ones form 60’s. :/

August 22nd, 2011 - 2:43pmWell, the next doctor ones were a group that survived. But I agree with the pandorica guard having a plain chest.

August 8th, 2011 - 10:48amThe Cybermats?
Intergalactic
August 6th, 2011 - 4:15pmWe don’t include the Cyber-Controller, so why should we include the Dalek Emperor? Ridiculous.
Intergalactic
August 6th, 2011 - 4:14pmThis continues the trend of a monster returning every series:
Series 1 – Autons, the Nestene Consciousness and Daleks
Series 2 – Cybermen (albeit a parallel version)
Series 3 – Macra and the Master
Series 4 – Sontarans and Davros
Series 5 – Silurians
Intergalactic
August 6th, 2011 - 4:12pmNo, you got one thing one. The Dalek Emperor should not be included.

Series 3 – Macra, The Master
Series 4 – Sontarans, Davros

July 22nd, 2011 - 11:56amForget about them in the Adventure Games. Just think of this.
Intergalactic
July 22nd, 2011 - 11:56amThey do indeed! 😆
Intergalactic
July 22nd, 2011 - 11:54amThey are Cybermats, not Cybermen. They will probably be Cybus.
Intergalactic
July 22nd, 2011 - 11:54amYou’re as happy as I am!!! 😆
Intergalactic
July 22nd, 2011 - 11:53amThat was a video game, so don’t count it. Never count them. It’s a very bad thing to do. They last appeared in 1975 alongside the Fourth Doctor in “Revenge of the Cybermen”. but have a look at this: http://i636.photobucket.com/albums/uu82/platform40/CybermatMK3-1.jpg. This is what they last looked like!

July 22nd, 2011 - 11:47amI don’t think that’s the title. Good guess though! 🙂
