‘Merged Cyber-Race’
Now we know that at some point the Cybusmen were merged with the original ones, shouldn’t the Pandorica, Good Man, Closing Time, and Blood Cybermen be moved to a third section named ‘Merged Cyber-Race’ or something, with the Nightmare Cybermen been part of this section or a new one? {{SUBST:User:Kingofall42/SigReal|{{SUBST:{Predated }}}}. 09:23, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

Joint Cybermen
Why was this removed we now know that at one point in their history, both the Mondasian and Cybus Cybermen encountered each other. What actually happened is unknown although they did co-operate and shared their technologies, to give birth to the variant of cyberman seen in A Good Man Goes to War, the video-game Blood of the Cybermen, Closing Time, Nightmare in Silver, and possibly The Pandorica Opens.

Too Borg-like?
The latest version of the Cybermen ("Nightmare in Silver") seems to be very Borg, with frequent adaptation ("upgrade in progress") instead of the old-style ones where you never saw them do the upgrades.

Is this current version more powerful than the Daleks now?

Probably close, but the daleks would probably win, but we don't know for now.

Joined Cybermen
http://doctorwhotv.co.uk/gaiman-on-upgrading-the-cybermen-48926.htm, have the mondasian and cybus crossed?

JOINT CYBERMEN OR CYBUS CYBERMEN
In The Pandorica Opens Cybermen are seen twice and Cyberships are seen. The ships and the fact that the first Cyberman we saw as a guard had new features unseen to Cybus Cybermen before, along with a whole skull, proves this is a new variant of Cybermen even though they have Cybus Logos. Moffat has stated it before and evidence backs up the idea that after The Next Doctor a second group survived and joined with an unknown group of Mondas Cybermen forming a new variant of Joint Cybermen as seen, in an early form, in PO. These Cybermen choose to use Mondas tech with Cybus armor, but didnt get rid of the Cybus logo till later on in there timeline.
 * It's an interesting way to look at it, but I think a bit speculative. It could just as easily be that the Cybermen in Pandorica Opens were Cybus who had upgraded their technology a bit — the line "all universes will be deleted" to justify their being part of the Alliance does suggest they're from Pete's World, to me. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  09:49, July 14, 2019 (UTC)
 * Tardis:Discussion policy prohibits speculation on article talk pages. Please refrain from further speculation on this page thanks Shambala108 ☎  14:16, July 14, 2019 (UTC)

"Cybermen of unknown origin"
"Cybermen of unknown origin" It's pretty clear, especially in Nightmare in Silver, that these are upgraded Mondasian Cybermen. 62.254.12.55talk to me 00:48, December 8, 2013 (UTC)

Their development
I'd like to know how the Cybermen managed to improve themselves to the point of Nightmare In Silver. I mean, as the Tenth Doctor said to John Lumic, they're stripping themselves from imagination, and that's what they need to progress. However, with their wars with the Human Empire, they've improved themselves gradually to the point they became almost invincible to humans. How did they even manage to do so without imagination? --X29 17:15, August 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * If you want to know specifically how they improved themselves, I don't know if that information is available in any stories yet. If you just want a general discussion based on your last question, you must take it to Howling:The Howling, as that kind of discussion isn't allowed on talk pages per Tardis:Discussion policy.

 * I just wanted answers, yeesh... --X29 15:24, August 14, 2014 (UTC)

Why is this page "Cyberman" rather than "Cybermen"?
It's true that this is in accord with general Wiki policy, but prior to the merging, the pages were Cybermen (Mondas) and Cybermen (Pete's World). Why not keep the same exception? I assume it was for ease of linking, and in this instance that does seem like a strong reason to me — 90 percent of the time we'll be linking to Cybermen rather than Cyberman, and unlike with Dalek, you can't just tack on an S at the end and let Wikia do the rest… --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  10:19, June 28, 2019 (UTC)


 * Except in certain circumstances, which this does not fall into, all article names (including species names) are singular. I don't know why the original two were made plural and I never actually noticed it till now. Shambala108 ☎  14:07, June 28, 2019 (UTC)
