Doctor Who: Series 13 Trailer Breakdown - 20 Things You Must See

4. Cybermen, Not CyberMasters

Another surprising villainous appearance, these particular Cybermen look almost identical to the Cyber-Warriors seen in Series 12.

Like the Daleks, the Cybermen do feel a tad overused at this point - which is why we're guessing they aren't in the series for long - but it's always good to see them regardless.

It does raise the question though... what the hell happened to the CyberMasters? Assuming they survived the death particle's blast, are we going to see them return in Series 13 - possibly alongside that deformed version of the Master? It would be fitting for the Master to return for Whittaker's final bow, and you have to assume he'd bring his favourite toys with him.

We should also mention that there's a shot earlier in the trailer where an unseen assailant fires a blue laser at the Doctor, Yaz, and Dan, which might just be a Cybermen attack.
