That one scene really brought home how tragic it would be for a Cyberman to realize that it had once been human, & had the few bits of humanity clamped off by an inhibitor device.
Daniel Appleton have you seen the series 10 finale yet and how it is in comparison?
Sounds similar to what is done to (Clive Barker's) Cenobites
there's been some stories i think, exploring a cyberman that regained it's ability to feel, but managed to overcome that existential horror, and ended up going out into the galaxy and helping others.
Whenever the Doctor defeats the Cybermen, it's a mercy killing
Daniel Appleton this is mercy killing the doctor had no choice because humanity gets destroyed by a rich psycho man. Me=Dalek then bows everything up!
i think that cybermen who creeped up on them forgot to get his stompy feet......
He's a proper Cyberman then. ;-)
Cyberninja ;)
Yeah, it would be all like,"boo-tsh boo-tsh
I think he had his legs on silent. I know someone can guess what episode I was referencing there.
Andi Ebibi next doctor much?
Now most people can agree this is a heart wrenching scene right?
It was originally planned to have it be a child, instead. In that suit.
Just think about that.
That would've been so fucked up, I can see why they removed it from the script
@@matthewlacey4198
It would’ve been brilliant. The emotional impact it would deliver to the viewer, the epitome of consequences of the Cybermen.
@CJGeterix At least they used that idea next season with the reveal of who was in that Toclafane.
@CJGeterix Imagine being so mentally fucked up, you want to see child mutilation and torture
@@danrosalina
‘The sky is made of diamonds.’
Dear God,hearing the doctor say "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." Always sends chills up my spine
It's because he knows he's run out of things to say to make that person feel better or safe. So he just defaults to what makes him feel better when he feels like he's let them down.
truly a terrifying moment
The last time body horror was part of a cyberman story
@@OscarOSullivanBILL POTTS????
It is such a sad moment knowing that this cyberman was in fact a woman about to get married only to end up having what made her human stripped away and replaced with a cold metal shell :(
yea.. that's the point.
+Ian Heier my gielfriend is bolivian
yea :( poor cyberman
***** ohhh
this scene makes me cry every time ;(
What I don't understand is how the Cyberman was so silent. Normally, you can here one coming from a mile away because they sound like a herd of elephants, but this one was silent.
True. Weird 😐
In the episode The Next Doctor, at least I think that was the one, it's said, although somewhat jokingly, that they have a silent mode.
NylonWolf AJ unless they were allready near them
Plot armor
Maybe they do that on purpose?
The first time I watched this, my heart sunk when Mrs Moore stood up and the Cyberman was behind her. I liked her character. I had a genuine "NOOO!" moment when she was killed. The dying Cyberman was also quite sad. Such a great story, this two-parter is one of my favourite Doctor Who stories.
Same exact reaction
Ah yes, those golden days when we could care about peripheral characters. Where are those days now?
Tim Austin Gone with the two parters, I'm afraid.
Tim Austin No it has to full of sexual tension and based on soap opera levels of relationship depth to appeal to all the Twilight fan girls, it's no longer about "adventures in time and space", everything else is apparently secondary - even the Daleks and Cybermen have to take a back seat to yawn-inducing Clara and the PE teacher person or something.
Rosstoration sums up why I don't care for season 8.
This seen disturbs me.
This whole bloody two parter disturbs me.
*The whole Cyberman concept disturbs me.*
The daleks are cool, but the cyber men are way more interesting
Jimbo *scene
you are a pretty disturbed person.
That’s So Fetch! Nah the daleks.
Rob Qatar well they are suppose to represent our future
I never realised how many times the doctor has had to sacrifice the lives of a small amount of innocent people to save a bigger group.. The emotionally enhibited cybermen and women instead of the rest of the planet yet to be converted, the people of pompeii rather than the world, and of course, his own people rather than the rest of the universe. I could never make those choices, it would be soul destroying.
The Doctor is definitely a classic tragic hero. Most of his victories have been Pyrrhic and, in his eyes, somewhat hollow. He still fights the good fight, but there are a few moments when we get to see how much he has lost, and how much he simply wishes he could die and be done.
Or, at least, he used to before Moffat took the reigns. That's my personal view, by the way, feel free to disagree.
agreed, i hate moffats series work, he was better on individual episodes
Randygandalf95 here here, give that man a medal! Couldn't have said it better myself.
greypilgrim228 All the actors do a decent job, I feel, but Moffat can't write stories, in particular his endings are really bad.
David Tennant was so good.
Any other doctor wouldn't of killed her.
She was already dead.
adamsrealm She was alive.
It was an act of mercy, there was no way of reversing the conversion process.
StickMarsChannel Just fix her cyber body.
The last time Cybermen were scary. After that they just kept growing and growing and now they are just robots.
Allow me to disagree. The Cybermen were still scary in Army of Ghosts/Doomsday, they were just eclipsed by the Daleks
At least we have the Borg
Its not about the design, but about the depiction. They are just a robot army. If the show would focus more on what the cybermen used to be (humans) then they would be more scary.
World Enough and Time though
Trent Ferreira-Roberts
I love positivity it’s like gold at the end of the rainbow but the rainbow is dumb and you have to follow it until you have to find something positive
I feel so bad when something depicted as so dark becomes emotional. This cyberman, the dalek from Dalek, even the master in the sound of drums
Daniel Scott Oswin Oswald
great resemblence and very true in terms of similarity
I always loved how easy to compare the Sci-Fi-Worlds in Science Fiction are.
The Cyber-Collectives are a great example/measurement-tool for that!
Stargate has one, Star Trek has one, Doctor Who has one.
You can easily see how inferior Doctor Who to Star Trek and Star Trek to Stargate is. Alone from the Effiency of those beings that basically are
walking Effiency - or at least they should be.
Cyberman and Dalek are actually on UA-cam on Lists like "Top 10 Alien Races that are too Dumb to Exist!"
And yeah, that summs it up very well.
Stargates Cosmos is just more realistic and the most realistic. Star Trek is second-place.
And Doctor Who? It's just so filled with Plot Holes and Dumb Alienc Races and Nonsense that it could never ever exist.
Makes it all the more laughable in what state those 3 Franchises are. Stargate is just sleeping while the other 2 (3 if you count Star Wars)
Self-Destruct in an amazing FIREWORK!
@Slevin Channel - I mean, they’re different hardness of sci-fi (or sci-fantasy) aimed at different age groups/audience demographics, for differing purposes. What do you expect??
@@slevinchannel7589 quit spamming
I Would Rather be Exterminated by a Dalek , Shot By a Sontaran , Touched by a Weeping Angel , Killed by a Slitheen , Killed by a Ood , Eaten by a Krillitane , Get on the Shadow of A Vashta Nerda Then being Converted into a Cyberman
Weeping angels. Chance of being time warped somewhere nice and not dying right away
Daleks can convert you too
+Dakma amkad Out of all the enemies in Doctor Who, I think I would take the Weeping Angels as the ones to finish me. I'd get to live out my life at least.
+Mr. Trox they are called the merciful assasins after all. of course any one would choose the angels
+Peridot The Green Space Dorito Agreed. The entire Tennant arc in season 2 from Age of Steel to Doomsday was fantastic. The Rebirth of the Cybermen was expertly done. The upgrade process is what does it for me, human beings identify humanity in so many simple ways and the Cybermen mutilate and destroy every one of them. Taking all that you are and making you into something awful.
Your principles, your dreams, your ambitions. Everything you worked for cut out of you with surgical precision, and placed into a suit of armour. You're not even allowed to die. Forced to live without a trace of your former self left alive.
Becoming one of them is the worst thing I can imagine. It's worse than dying.
This is why I love David's era. Not because he is the best Doctor eva!
But because of small moments like this. Good stories, interesting characters, depressing villains, and little to no over the top comedy.
I love Matt, but the good scripts he got were few and far between. Here's to Peters Era!
Here's hoping that it's a lot darker than the previous few, I miss the dark days of the Doctor.
What like Colin baker throwing people into acid baths?
Yes I know but its the most easiest think to go to when thinking of dr violence
Let's just hope Peters replacement and the new producer make the show good again
@John Jaxson lmfao 😂

I just realized, this is one of the few times the Doctor actively took a life. Not by causing something, not by triggering an event, not by letting someone doom themselves.
This is one of the rare few times The Doctor took a life directly, with his own hands.
It was a mercy kill.
Aside, if she saw how she was as the Doctor said, her emotions would have killed her instead.
Indeed. It make me glad that they decided not to use the original idea, where the Cyberman euthanised here had the brain of an eleven year old boy in it rather than a woman about to be married.
I think this was such a dark conclusion they had to come to in order to save the day. They talked to Sally, she never got an answer to her question, she never saw herself and the Doctor put of her misery pretty quickly. But all the other Cybermen... they had to die by mental breakdown. They all suffered death via existential terror. Their last memories would be of the cold, the horror of what their bodies had been mutilated into, and the screams of the people they subsequently turned after they themselves were turned. That's a pretty heart-breaking way to force them all to go.
It was that or all of humanity being upgraded
The Cybermen actually Fist of the North Star on the factory and punched through concrete
How do you get snuck up on by a Cyberman? How?
Maaaaagic
Jayson Lau It wore sneakers. :) Probably Nikes.
Mr. Wubstank :D. Good call ! Cybermen - Metal zombies, sort of.
+52nerfguy It's likely that they were so focused on the fallen cyberman that they didn't notice the approaching one until it was too late.
+52nerfguy Im tiptoeing in my jordans :D
I just got into Doctor Who and I have to say that for David's time, it was moments like these that made the show shine: Having empathy for a human-turned-droid and not to mention the decisions Tennant was given and and his outcome would be... even some of the more heartbreaking episode like "girl in the fireplace" was another one
If your heart's not breaking then they're not pulling at it hard enough.
0:04 OMG, it is windows 10!
HA. Oh thats brilliant! Lol!
HAHA! honestly that was my reaction too!
+megamanstarforce4315 Hahahaha! That is so true!
At least it's not Vista...
LOL
0:27 "They've got a logo on the front." Well worth pointing out, Doctor.
Imagine if we had got to see Sally Phelan in our universe. Hope she married Gareth in our universe.
The cybermen of his world didn't have logos...least not till they decided to just use the modern suits universally.
Vanitas Reborn Yeah. I personally think the logos kind of ruins the scare factor. Because I think back in the day, viewers were actually terrified of the earlier Mondas Cybermen. But having the logos on the Cybus Industries Cybermen makes them feel more like commercial products.
Andrew Chapman I hope so too.
Andrew Chapman They weren't that scary.

Vanitas Reborn Oh?
Anyone remember the first Tennant episode, where all the people were walking to the edge of the building because of blood control?
Remember the person called Sally trying to get her Boyfriend Gareth to come inside
;)
Noooooooooooooooooo
Why would you do that to me
...
That universe is ahead so that made sense.
Wait, this episode was in a parallel universe. Which means Sally and Gareth in that universe could've gotten married.
@@larsswig912 but it aint the same Sally and Garreth
Seriously cybermen are the scariest villains, not because threat, or appearance, because he idea behind them
Not even the idea, just the humanistic nature. The sense that they were once people just like you and me, the writers knew that’s where it hurt most because they would try to grind it in later seasons like with Bill Potts. But for the earlier seasons where it just came out of nowhere, empathetic and sorrowful words from whoever it was inside realizing they’ve been butchered into a machine that no one could ever love.
This scene broke my heart :(
i can not watch this scene without crying, if anyone makes a try not to cry challenge and puts this in, you're a hell hole monster!
i don't cry that much but this turns my stone hard into dust, it's so sad that i can't not cry at this
One or both?
@Ian Gardner not weird at all
@@heydoeradio7298 Agreed... This scene made it clear how terrifying these types of Cybermen are. They don't just kill you, they strip away everything that makes you human and alive, your emotions, your will, your character, your mind, and they control and suppress it, never allowing your spirit to die in peace but be forever trapped in a cold, metallic body.
Ian Gardner agreed well said.
I remember reading somewhere that this particular Cyberman was intended to have been a young boy before it was swapped for Sally Phelan. They found the idea of the boy too sad.
"Where's my mummy? Where am I? Who are you?"
Yes, an 11 year old boy iirc. But the BBC gave a gentle reminder that this is a show watched by children
Oh my God, I'm going to cry 😭
Oh wow. Yeah. That hits so much harder. Damn. I wonder if it isn't just because it's children who watch the show. Wow, it would've hurt so much if that was what we got.

@@slevinchannel7589 You’re a massive arsehole. You’re not welcome anywhere, not even in the Stargate community.
This is by far one of the most horrifying scenes in Doctor Who, and also one of the most tragic. I remember seeing this for the first time, it was absolutely heart-breaking, and also made me realise just how utterly terrifying the existence of Cybermen are.
Most Doctor Who villains, I am okay with. I'll try to run but if I am zapped into the past, exterminated, or eaten quickly by a shadow mob, well, I tried my best.
The Cybermen though. I am a full adult and genuinely had a nightmare I was being turned into a Cyberman. I woke up screaming. Awful, awful, awful. RTD is a twisted writer.
How did they not hear the Cyberman creep up on them? They aren't exactly ninjas.
Rude!!!
Clank clang pfffshick
Cyberman: I'm silent And deadly.
He probably had been standing there on guard before they got there
@@lucariogamer3786 he was just standing very still, that he was invisible to human, timelord eye.
Number 5: Nova robots disassemble umber 5 dead, number 5 is alive!
“It’s alright, you sleep now Sally. Go to sleep.”
I always cry at this scene. Always. "It's okay. Just sleep." 😖
Joshua Fogg so heartbreaking “Cold...I’m so cold”
It's when he says "I'm Sorry, I'm So Sorry!" David Tennant is just so amazing!
When The Doctor reacted to the electromagnetic bomb it was hilarious.
but the cyberman's death was so devastating i cried, and i don't cry that often
Luke AJ yeah when I first saw that I started laughing hard and two minutes later started to cry, and I was like oh now I think we should have not threw bomb because it killed sally. Even though she seemed dead, but after that more dead 😯.
180 that know one saw coming
2:39 at that moment, my loudspeaker said to me calmly ”low batteri, please recharge” XD. It was like the Cyberman said it XD
how to make an emotional scene hilarious.
🤣🤣🤣
"Sensors detect a Binary-Vascular System": How come these old cybermen can detect it yet in the season 8 finale they don't instantly kill Clara when they realize she has a single heart?
Thats Moffats story writing for you. Why was there no Cyber leader? Why was missy incontrol and only commanded by a bracelet? How did the master return?
Touchette, such a shame about the writing; a great cast has been massively let down by a sheer lack of content within the episodes. Moffat works best when he has only a few episodes per series to write, writing most of a series reduces his episodes to poor predictable story lines with many many plot holes.
Well, this is nitpicking a bit isn't it? Doctor Who has never been good with continuity. And I mean never.
True, but Moffat certainly creates a lot more plot holes than any other writer of the modern Doctor Who Series
When the Cyberman scanned her it said Clara Oswald, human.
It knew she was human!! I really liked the scene with her pretending to be the doctor but made no sense. She couldn't have fooled them, they knew she was human! MOFFAT!!!
The start of this scene is very reminiscent of Classic-Who.
So sad when the cyberman FEELS something
There are only a few doctor who moments that made me sob. i dont mean cry or tear up, i had plenty of those. but i mean actual sobbing, tears and everything. this was one of them this moment illustrated so well that these werent just *numbers*. they were people, with life and love. And some of them had important days ahead. This made me cry so hard.
"Why so cold?"
Why so serious?
Vänrikki This episode came out 2 years before the Dark Knight, which is interesting.
Also why r u running
Why so serious? Sirius Black?
I come back to this years later as a married man... and this scene hurts me even more. Imagining that something would happen to my angel just before our wedding, it's horrifying and cruel. Another reason why the Cybermen are my favorite Doctor Who villains.
0:52 Ten's trademark "Well"
He stole that from the Fourth Doctor.
@@TheSkully343 himself
WELL NOW.
Don’t forget the “I’m oh so sorry”.
Damn I never realized the cyber men have tear drops coming off their eyes. Makes things much more devastating when you think about it.
The Age of Steel was the two-parter Doctor Who episode that really sent chills down my spine, made me terrified for the first time watching Doctor Who. My heart was thumping so hard the first time I watched this.
This was one of the many saddest scenes in Doctor Who I cry every time oh god Sally
I can't watch this scene without crying my eyes out of how sad it is
She was going to get married...
this scene always makes me cry, i can never watch this scene without crying
She said it was unlucky for the bride to see her the night before. Why?
@@stephenbyrne2170 Because its a tradition not to see the bride before a wedding. Apparently its bad luck.
@@stephenbyrne2170 something so human and so silly uttered by something so wrong it's haunting
@@heydoeradio7298 Is that an insult.
Definitely the best doctor who episode of all time. Just insanely terrifying and sad, yet some moments are uplifting and it's all relevant. The cybermen are simply genius creations. They were invented in 1966 as a warning to humanity about its future and we're getting closer to a cyber future every day. This episode could easily come true, let's just hope we have a doctor to help us
i swear that cyberman fell to her knees then fell back then the legs magically spread out
JetTunic0857935 I've been going through the series on Amazon Prime, which has a feature called Xray. It shows all kinds of behind the scenes stuff as the episodes run. Anyway, yes, it's listed as a continuity goof.
Maybe its got magical legs. :)
Actually it would be a cyberwoman
I like the recent cybermen they are good but they lack humanity, in the classic series they were more human aswell as robot but they are still a good remake of the cybermen
0:33 heart of steel, made by propmakers in fibreglass.
"I'm so sorry for turning your inhibitor off" next line "we need to turn them all off" lol.
R.I.P. Helen Griffin (1958 - 29 June 2018).
Poor Sally Feeler. Is it bad that I feel sorry for her?
No it makes you human
Sally was human too.
:(
All of them were except lumic
Yeah. Lumic was never truly human.
Elizabeth Lingurar Lumic was very reminiscent of Davros, except he didn't work with mutants like Davros did.
sorry but the new cybermen are too derpy i like these ones the best
The classic ones are the best.
mike walling They just haven't had a personal story yet, many people felt the same for these guys. We have only seen the new ones used poorly as props. But these moments bring dread that these characters need to be taken seriously. Cyberman is my favorite idea for characters. Such a terrible tragedy of a race.
mike walling YEAH? Well upgrade this
@@Hilda_ogden It depends on which part of the classic era. They started to become too emotional in the 70's & 80's period. I prefer the Tenth Planet version. They freaked me out.
@@darthmetallus1977 Try Spare Parts by Big Finish. It's set on a dying Mondas just before they decide they need to roll out mass cyberconversion to survive.
poor sally phelan :[
i always cry when i watch this scene, and i don't cry that often, i tried watching this at college and i burst into tears crying, my friends james and amy were right next to me though and they cheered me up
Give the Cyberman a blanket!
thats cold..
It'd take more than a blanket to fix her up I'm afraid...
When they say "I'm cold, so cold" I wish the music kept going like that, would have made the moment a lot more sad, might be a cliché the line, but it hits hard
Daleks? Not that bad- they look like wheelie bins. Slitheen? A bit scary but the farts are funny. Cybermen? They’re just TRAGIC, and Sally Phelan is evidence of this
Someone created a My Little Pony fan comic based off this where the "CyberPonies" invaded Equestria and began upgrading the population. It was super dark and gruesome.
Never found the cybermen intimidating or scary but they were always very tragic and sad to me.
This scene never fails to make me cry. Poor Sally... :'(
Ten did bowties before it was cool.
Two did bowties before it was cool.
Technically Patrick Troughton was the first doctor to wear a bow tie
Gotta say that big stompy robot managed to make a pretty quiet entrance.
RIP Helen Griffin (Mrs Moore) 😭
Originally, this cyber man was going to be an 11 year old boy to truly show the horrors - but presumably this was way too dark for the show so it was changed to an adult
Moore would have been a truly amazing companion. An older women's perspective. But played of the personality off a man who is 9+ times her age.
Her and Donna and the doctor giving out sass would have been epic.
The most haunting, horrible, grim moment in modern Doctor Who I’d say. Especially for inexperienced viewers just getting into it like a lot were at the time. Seeing a very human monster and the reality and atmosphere around that is far more terrifying than most Doctor Who villains. These episodes captured something special with the Cybermen while having another layer on the cake with the whole cool parallel Earth thing. Fantastic two parter.
"Yeah well... upgrade this!"
Destruction 100
RIP MRS MOORE! FLY HIGH ANGEL 😇 YOU WERE THE BIGGEST AND BEST UPGRADE WE COULD'VE ASKED FOR 🙂
"Yeah, well.. UPGRADE THIS!"
Best one liner in TV history.
Agreed. What an absolute legend!! 😎
Am I the only one who thinks these are the all time scariest aliens? The tenant cybermen terrified me I thought I'd find on following me somewhere. You can just tell one is close by the footsteps noise. I think them having laser guns isn't a good idea Coz I think if they kill you by coming closer is scarier
RIP Mrs Moore & Sally Phelan (would have made a great wife) 🙏🏼
R.I.P Helen Griffin
"upgrade this!"
throws a bunch of coiled wire into the robot
The best Cyber leader...David Banks! Excellent. The 80s Cybermen and early were scary. They went through a gradual change of having their anatomy and organs replaced. Here it's just their brains popped into a machine.
I feel bad all the time i wouldn’t mind to have one of those emotional inhibitors
This was truly creepy. One of the few advantages the Cybus Cybermen have over the Mondas incarnations is that we see what a person is like upon realizing the horrors that have been inflicted on it.
am I the only one who thinks the Cybermen dying sounds kina like general grievous dying
oh yeah!
1:20 When it is suddenly as cold as winter even though it's early fall.
This is what the man of steel actually looks like.
When The Cybermen returned in 2006 I thought they looked better than ever.
These new ones ain't the same
This scene is so heart breaking
That ‘well’ is so Tom Baker. David Tennant knows what he’s doing. Fantastic.
You can see the persons eye at 1:47
This is one of the most impactful scenes in the whole of the new show. And one of my favorites for that reason.
Oh, look, a *good* episode of Dr Who.
Really brings me back.
Probably the saddest scene in Doctor Who. Not only the tragic realisation of the Cybermen, but the death of Mrs Moore too.
2:38 The Doctor remembering the Time War you can see it in his eyes when she said "its gotta be done" You can tell having to kill all them Cybermen in a genocide is hurting him
David Tennant did a really good job as the Doctor in this scene. He sounded like he was fed up and frustrated with the Cybermen as opposed to just being angry at them.
Man I almost forgot how awesome Dr. Who was only a few years ago
One of the saddest moments of new who.. Makes me cry everytime
This scene is inspired by a scene from the story 'Spare Parts'. And, as 'Spare Parts' was aimed mainly at adults rather than families, 'Spare Parts' was allowed to be a lot more horrifying. And the Cybermen in 'Spare Parts' are the creepy, cloth-faced 'Tenth Planet' versions.
I still haven't listened to it but I've heard of a scene that's something about a cyberman going insane or something like that. I don't remember what it was about but I still remember the chills that went down my spine when I did heard about it. I can imagine what my reaction would be once I get to listen to 'Spare Parts'.
It's a very powerful scene.
Especially when Yvonne's dad is like "Let's get that suit off you". It was no suit ;(
Imagine the feels if that Cyberunit said its name was Sally Sparrow
This whole thing makes me think of SOMA
This is the first episode in a long time to make the Cybermen truly scary
Casually euthenases Sally
Rest In Peace Mrs Moore (Helen Griffin)
I wish these Cybermen would come back :(
Galaxy completely agree. they looked so much cooler
headbite alien Yup. And I also wish epic battles between these and the Daleks would come back too! I remember the epic fight of Torchwood Tower, in the episode Doomsday. Just finished watching, it was really damn epic! It's a shame Rose had to go but hey; Donna's serial we're the first DW episodes that I had ever watched so it's good to see them again :P
Yeah doomsday is one of my favorites
I love their voices.
Yeah, me too. The more recent Cybermen are too much like the Borg.
When there is no hope of healing to end suffering, death is the only mercy left.
they never really ever explained why even when they have no emotions they decide to follow orders from a higher power. it must be built in software that makes the cybermen obedient, like how when you press a button on a keyboard it makes the letters show up.
They are all equal in mind like an insect colony, but when they find a higher intelligence or someone fit for the role as leader they are respected and would be in charge until they die or they aren't fit to be leader anymore.
No emotions. No personal ambitions. Just a job to do.
the emotional depth of this scene is just amazing
I wonder...do children get converted?
Cybermen don't discriminate. Every organic being is converted, even animals of sufficient intelligence are upgraded into Cybershades. Men, women and children are all just stock for processing. Even in the episode Army of Ghosts it's implied that whole family, even the boy and girl, where going to be sent for upgrading. So yeah. Them too.
In the book "Illegal Alien" they convert a baby
Finbar Brolly Do they do cats?
T_bus Yup. Cybershades. Any animal of significant brain power. Don't really know what happens to creautres like ants. I imagine they don't really consider the, worth their time. But cats, yes. Sorry if you're a cat lover, but their getting upgraded too :)
I think ants get converted to cybermats or cybermites.
I can say with no irony that this scene made me cry. Don't fully know why but it does.
