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.
