It is possible that this particular group of Cybermen had travelled back in time from later in Cyberhistory as they had access to records of the fourth Doctor's battle against some Cybermen from the 29th Century, although this could also be a memory from the seventh Doctor acquired in 2006.

 Waffle: Rise of the Cybermen
Cybermen, on the other hand, have been consistently crap in every episode I've seen that they appeared in.
