Cybershade

Possible Infomation
The Sun Newspaper and The Telegraph has reported that the Doctor will come face to face with a new type of Cybermen this Christmas. Rumoured to be called either Cyber Mutants or Cybershades. A spokesperson from the BBC said. "Like we did with the Daleks, we've taken the original robot and made it a bit more sinister. The Cybershade is a mutant with some of the looks of the Cybermen - but it is a much darker creation. Fans always want something new. Just wheeling out Cybermen again would be tame."
