Seeing the cybermen are not in this years dr who, and more likely to return next year, what would everyone want

cybus cybermen
Original Mondas cybermen
Uptodate Mondas cybermen

or a completely new cybermen from mondas

new mondasians

The Cult of Mondas.

Not the Cybus walking 'Bang bang bang bang' Cybermen!
We need the originals back and portray them as a rarely speaking, walking nightmare in the gloomy shadows, along the lines of The Invasion (1968).

I'd want them to have the electric-larynx voice from Tomb of the Cybermen. Now that was scary.

As long as they dont sound like they play the didgeridoo like in Tomb of the Cybermen, i'd like the originals back with up to date costumes

Ha! Anti-snap!

LMAO i love TOTC but seriously they are playing the didgeridoo

At exactly the same time too

I like the didgeridoo.

I'd like to see the New Series cybermen come back, the design is only 4 years old or so, still fresh yet.

If they bump into the Cybermen of this universe, all the better, but I doubt they'd look too different

I will openly admit that I love the design of the Cybus Cybermen however I would love to see a return of the one's from Modas. Maybe there could be a trade off maybe have the Modas ones use the design of the Cybus one's but drop the big C off the chest plate and return them to an Invasion style creature. Not the scheming "Darth Vader" like ones of the latter stories.

The originals, preferably with a look reminiscent of the sixties stories. The new ones just look like robots, which completely misses the point of the Cybermen-that they're supposed to be horrific because they are recognisably former humans!

I think you're criticising here purely to illustrate your unhappiness with the current series, aren't you? When have the Cybermen ever been - on screen - "horrific"? In the audio Spare Parts, yes, and parts of the NA Iceberg but on TV???

As for the current versions looking "like robots", well, in Attack of the Cybermen one of the creatures has its face plate removed to reveal... what amounts to a crappy sci-fi robot's inner workings. Not even a 12-year-old Blue Peter competition winner would come up with something so cheap and unimaginative. At least the new versions have the balls to occasionally display a fleshy brain!

I don't think their origin matters as much as what they do with them when they're on the show.

As long as we never see those utterly absurd Cybershades again I'm happy.

what about Earth Prime Cybermen

I actually think the original, cloth faced Cybermen from 1966 were just that-horrific. They looked like mummies, they clearly had some human features but the masks left you to imagine what was left of them under that scrap of cloth, and the clearly electronic voices when they opened their mouths but then didn't move them..brrr! The versions from The Moonbase onwards weren't bad, but the originals were just plain scary.

The eighties versions are not as bad as the current ones, but they're certainly not a good design, I agree.

'Earth Prime'? nah, Superboy would take them out in ten seconds flat...

Who on earth says the Cybermen aren't in this years DW?

I'd say it's extremely likely they ARE in it.

I would like to see the new ones back, but then they get destroyed by the original but updated Mondas Cybermen, now there's a story!

...why?

what about this

I never trusted that Tony Stark...

The Pandorica Opens, bwah ha ha ha ha.

I understand where you're coming from there - the originals are the most disturbing but, for me, at least, in theory only. (By the way; "brrr!"? You don't approve of emotional responses to television so get out from behind that sofa.) Hundreds of years ago - when you were just a lad - when hunting down Nth generation copies of old stories was the only way to prove the memory wasn't cheating, I did have a copy of The Tenth Planet remains and those Cybermen were pretty creepy. However, as it looked like it was filmed in the 1930s, that's not too surprising! In 2010, I think they come across as rather quaint and the sing-song voice is very Marmite... Personally, I like the Invasion or Wheel versions but I doubt, due to their horrific nature, the Cybermen will ever realise their true design potential on screen.


I don't really mind the 80s designs but they were really rather pathetic. They had a weakness for every occasion! If Ace tried to take out a "Cybus Man" with her gold coins, she'd get 10,000 volts up her catapault.
