...of the Cybermen

A couple months ago, for fun, I cataloged all the Doctor Who stories that had the word "Dalek" in them, which naturally became an excuse to re-brand the Dalek stories that did not. I though It'd be as fun doing it with the Cybermen, where there's a lot more rebranding to do. Perhaps it's because their first story (The Tenth Planet) didn't feature their name, or perhaps because the Cyber-writers wanted to keep them as a surprise (as in Earthshock), but it's almost become a tradition to ignore the Cybermen in their story titles. But here's what's there:

TV Series
The Tomb of the Cybermen
Revenge of the Cyerbmen
Attack of the Cybermen
Rise of the Cybermen
Cyberwoman

Audios
Legend of the Cybermen
Cyberman/Cyberman 2 (mini-series)

Comics
The Coming of the Cybermen
Cyber-Mole
The Soul of a Cyberman
The Cybermen
The Power of the Cybermen

And that's it really. A tiny fraction of all Cyberman stories. Renaming the major ones isn't even hard. The Tenth Planet becomes Planet of the Cybermen. The Invasion? Invasion of the Cybermen! One of the best audios is Spare Parts... Birth of the Cybermen! But I'll let you have some fun:

The Moonbase
The Wheel in Space
Earthshock
The Five Doctors
Silver Nemesis
Army of Ghosts
The Next Doctor
The Pandorica Opens

And that's just the tv episodes! You will be... like uzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
