Ascension of the Cybermen[]
Based on the information on the page these Cyberdrones are completely different from the ones seen in Ascension of the Cybermen. So as I see it, either another "Cyber Drone" page needs to be created or this article needs a re-write. --DCLM ☎ 22:58, February 23, 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, they are for sure different from the ones in Enemy Mine (and perhaps even the reference from Code Silver (audio story) warrants a different page); when I added the link to Ascension, I didn't realize this article existed. However, I just went through Enemy Mine, and couldn't find Cyberdrone anywhere. Closest we get is upgraded human drones and drone/the drone, which isn't quite the same, so either:
- 1) The name comes from another story
- 2) Naming this "Cyberdrone" was a mistake and this needs to be renamed.
- Personally, I'd lean towards it being the second case (or, to have more good faith) that this was a conjecture-type of thing. But given we have non-conjecture names for the page, we should probably rename this one. OncomingStorm12th (talk) 02:18, February 24, 2020 (UTC)
- Actually, after checking Drones of Doom (comic story), it gives us Cyber-drone, so the page should be moved to that. But just to check where we stand on this issue: does the iPlayer subtitles spell the Ascension Cyberdrones with or without the hyphen?
- And for full clarity, the Cyberdrones in the two stories are distinctive enough to have separate pages, in Drones of Doom, Cyber-drones are partially converted Cybermen, while the Ascension of the Cybermen creatures are flying Cybermen heads, arguably well-developed and equiped.

- I can't speak for the iPlayer subtitles, but according to the non-DWU spelling in the BTS video "Upgrading the Cybermen", they spell it as "The Cyber Drones". --DCLM ☎ 07:39, February 24, 2020 (UTC)
- BBC iPlayer subtitles spell it as one word without the hyphen: Cyberdrones. 66 Seconds ☎ 10:51, February 24, 2020 (UTC)
- Then I highly suggest to create a different page called "Cyberdrones", now that this specific page has been changed to "Cyber-drones" and the fact that the ones described on this article are clearly a different kind. I do not really see how these two versions are one and the same. --DCLM ☎ 10:57, February 24, 2020 (UTC)
