Notes[edit | edit source]

Similar to the Cyberman in COMIC: Junk-Yard the standard Cyberman are depicted with Cyber-bodies mostly resembling those from The Tenth Planet, with the sleeve hosing from The Moonbase and The Tomb of the Cybermen.
Though the term is not used in this story, the drones used by the Cybermen are evidently Cybermats. Indeed, they are described as "caterpillars" by Ace, just Jamie McCrimmon mistook a Cybermat for a caterpillar in TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen.
