Cyberman (Blood of the Cybermen)

The Cybermen were a race of artificially modified human or near-humans, stated to be organic brains encased in metal forms. They tend to be commanded by Cyber-Lords.

History
A Cyberman army was buried under the ice in the Arctic Circle and had been for tens of thousands of years after being hit by a temporal storm. An excavation began to awaken the army, releasing Cybermats which in turn created Cyberslaves. The Eleventh Doctor arrived on May 4th 2010 and stopped their awakening. He blew up their base and put them back into stasis. (VG: Blood of the Cybermen)

The Doctor acquired a chest plate from one of these Cybermen and kept it in the TARDIS drawing room. (VG: TARDIS)

Behind the scenes

 * What relation they have to any other Cyberman is unknown, as they have elements of both the Mondas and Pete's World versions. A "Who Fact" about Cybermen in the game, however, refers solely to the Mondasians, whilst another on Cyber conversion refers solely to the Pete's World versions.
 * Visually, they resemble the Pete's World Cybermen but with a different "logo" on their chests.


 * It is unknown how the Doctor acquired the chest plate seen in TARDIS. As the short script Wish You Were Here occurs directly after Blood of the Cybermen and leads directly into TARDIS (where the chest plate is seen), there is no time for the Doctor to take a chest plate and he is not seen carrying out out of the GSO base at the end of Blood.
