I never realised how terrible the Cybermen bodies were in the last season. The helmet is great, I always loved the side-ribbing on the classic helmets, and it’s nice to see it brought back here, but the body is dreadful. Spikes? Weird medieval thighs and knees and whatnot?  No wonder you don’t really see a lot of clear shots like this.

Yeah the faces are usually good but the bodies awful, it's too clear that it isn't metal, seeing folds and bends in the fabric can be a little distracting.

Noticed something when I watched an episode of another show today. Completely missed it the first time around. The Boys season 2 episode 3 spoilers: I'm fairly certain Frenchie is wearing a 13th Doctor as a cat shirt. It has the obvious rainbow shirt and suspenders.

Ooof. Man, if they just had that new style of head on the Nightmare in Silver suits it would look cool as hell. That looks like a nightmare of bad design.

Ah y'see those are Cyber-WARRIORS, not just regular Cybermen. That means spikes.quote:Cybermen of the Warrior Class were a new generation of Cybermen that were awakened on a Cybercarrier by the Lone Cyberman, Ashad and his Cyberguards to fight as a Cyber-Army against the remnants of humanity in the far future after the Cyber-Empire had been brought down at the end of the Cyber-Wars. I do love the goofy tradition of sticking cyber- onto everything relating to the Cybermen. The Cyberleader took a sip of cyber-tea from his cyber-mug while sitting in his cyber-chair and watching the cyber-TV.

You should track down David Banks' "Cybermen" book from the late 80s/early 90s where he attempts to time line the Cybermen's history, and attributes names to all the designs seen on the show. Off the top of my head I remember: CyberMondasians CyberNomads CyberNeoMorphs

What is Time Lord Victorious actually about? The promos just seem to go on about it being a multimedia event and not what it is or how you follow the story. So do you have to read the comics, then the books and audio plays in order to follow it? Is it a story with a middle, beginning and end? Is the play the end, and how will people experience the ending if they don't attend? I thought it was just a multi-Doctor story with Eight and Ten, with comics and books filling in for Nine. But it isn't? And t-shirts are a part of the story?

If the roadmap is any indication, they've totally embraced comic book crossover-style storytelling, so the first several comics/audios are designated ROAD TO TIME LORD VICTORIOUS, which means that they have absolutely nothing to do with the story except at the end the same character show up and says a few things. Let's have him be... I dunno, the carnival operator from Carnival of Monsters? Then in TIME LORD VICTORIOUS #1, the carnival operator is shockingly killed off and then all of the Doctors have to fight each other. Romana takes off all her clothes for some reason in TIME LORD VICTORIOUS #3. In TIME LORD VICTORIOUS #11, the whole crossover is retconned out of existence and the Fifth Doctor has lightning powers. But stay tuned for TIME LORD VICTORIOUS: AFTERMATH!

I'm familar with comic book crossover road maps, but this map is still gibberish. So how do you follow the, you know, story? Are the Eighth Doctor audios a main part, or a side story? Is the comic the main focus? If you don't go to the live event, do you miss the ending? I'm guessing the Tenth Doctor is the main character? If you read one of the books but miss an audio, what then? How is it one story when its divided up over several formats? It's always nice to see the Eighth Doctor get a big push, but this is confusing. Why are some of the audio plays being released on vinyl? Why is a t-shirt and action figure a major part of the story? Multi-Doctor crossovers are meant to be fun little self contained things, right? I keep saying I'm going to get back into the audio dramas, but never do because of time and money. Haven't listened to one in years, but I had fun with some of them.

I think that’s just a release schedule, so no, you don’t have to buy the action figures or any merchandise to follow the story.

I suspect part of the push is an admission that there's not going to be any televised episodes on the horizon. They need to do something to keep the brand in mind. As to why it hasn't happened before, that's probably down to the licensing status. The Titan Doctor Who comics, which are mainly new series focused, have only been around for a couple years, as has Big Finish's ability to play around with new series ideas.

And that’s not even complete! Character Options have been deliberately vague about maybe putting out some TLV action figures at some point soon. They’ve got a time lord figure in their past retinue, so jamming a Tennant head on it isn’t a huge stretch.

Had to cheat on a couple "The"s though.

Astroman posted:Fabric has always been an integral part of Cyberdesign. I never minded those because - putting aside the fact they were clearly made on a budget in the 60s - it fit that they were this conglomeration of various levels of tech put together initially in pieces to deal with organic parts of the body failing, that ended up being an initially unplanned whole conversion of the body using whatever (spare) parts they could find. The best Cyberman story of the modern day was, ironically, the one where they went back to these original designs.

The TLV stuff is even worse because the comic just came out is set after a book which should of been put, but is delayed until October. Is starts with a Previously On that sums up the events of that book, but not in an easy to understand way. Which means that the inciting incident for the entire cross over won't be out for another month.

egon_beeblebrox posted:Dr. Who Pyramid Scheme That was one of my favourite 4th Doctor stories: love that Sutekh. As to Cybermen, fabric was always part of their look in the classic series. They even kept up with the fashions of the time - tight and shiny in the late sixties; flares in the seventies; shell suits in the eighties (excellent!).
