"You will be crushed..." -- Cyberman

TV New Cyberman. I suppose the BBC are releasing this now so that some tabloid can't claim an exclusive closer to the time. Not sure on this. It's a good mix of the older and newer designs seen in the comic strips and other places. The face looks a bit primate though. Another inspiration is certainly C3P0 and the Maria droid in Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927). It should look good in motion though.

    Ah, but why is there a big letter C on its chest? And where would Adric have been able to rub his gold star?

    I wondered about that too. Perhaps there's some important plot point about how to get the plate open at the front to give them that extra bit of power.
