SPOILERS! – Return of a Silver Foe

*SPOILERS*

How, appropriate that in the week Keith, Shaun, and I are taking a trip back through the vortex to revisit (or visit for the first time) some of the best Cybermen stories, the BBC announces the return of the famous adversary in Series Six.

From the BBC:

We already know that the new series sees the return of friends like River Song and Craig Owens. But this latest image reveals the Cybermen will also be back!
This photo shows Rory facing a whole bunch of the terrifying giants. We last saw the Cybermen in The Pandorica Opens but as yet we don’t know when they will be stomping back into the Doctor’s life with their chilling one-word battle cry: Delete!

The Cybermen have been around for as many Doctors as the Daleks, making their first appearance along side the first Doctor in The Tenth Planet.  They made regular appearances in the second Doctor’s era, and returned time and again to terrorize humanity, and vex the Doctor and his companions.

One of the things I notice from still released today, is the absence if the Cybus logo on the chest plate.  I wonder if that means the return of the original line of cybermen instead of the army created in the alternate universe in 2006’s Rise of the Cybermen, often referred to as “Pete’s World” Cybermen. Only time will tell.
