6 Ups & 0 Downs From Doctor Who Series 12 - Ascension Of The Cybermen

3. The Cyber Warrior Design

The first Cybermen redesign since 2013's Nightmare in Silver, the 'Cyber Warriors' on board the hijacked Cyber warship feature a incredible new aesthetic, blending the past with the present. Though the majority of the design is similar to the aforementioned Nightmare in Silver, only with a few more panels and spikes, the helmet itself has much chunkier sides, resembling something more reminiscent of the design originating in 1968's The Invasion.

It's very much known that Chris Chibnall is a huge fan of classic Who, and this is yet another motif of the old series he's revived during his tenure. It's a good revival at that, as I believe these to be the best looking Cybermen in the history of the series. Next up, I'd love a classic Dalek colour scheme to return, please. Give me Time War Daleks with the Imperial colour scheme. Bliss.
