Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
Cyberman 1 is involved in both strategies; the shift from direct physical breach to covert, autonomous agents (Cybermats) reflects a tactical evolution, likely learned from the previous failure on the moonbase. This escalation shows the Cybermen adapting their methods under Cyberman 1's command.
