Cyber-weapon

Cyber-weapons or Cyberweapons were weapons used by the Cybermen. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Cybermen, PROSE: Illegal Alien)
== History and variance ==
The CyberMondans who attacked Earth in 1986 carried large, hand-held, energy weapons. (TV: The Tenth Planet)
On the Moon in 2070, the CyberTelosians could produce arcs of electricity from their hands to stun, disable and kill. (TV: The Tomb of the Cybermen) They also possessed a Cyber-cannon that could operate in the vacuum of space. The virus Neurotrope X was used by Cybermen to incapacitate humans. (TV: The Moonbase/PROSE: Doctor Who and the Cybermen) Cybermats were sometimes used to spread this virus amongst a population. (TV: Revenge of the Cybermen)
In the 21st century, the Cybermen of the "late CyberFaction" who attacked Space Station W3 had death rays built into their chest units. (TV: The Wheel in Space)
The Cybermen of the "early CyberFaction" encountered by UNIT in the late 20th century displayed these same built-in death ray weapons. They also carried large rifles that emitted a flame for medium range combat on London's streets. They also possessed a megatron bomb that was capable of destroying all life on Earth. (TV: The Invasion)
The CyberNomads who attacked the Nerva Beacon had their weapons built into their helmets. They were activated with the touch of a hand. (TV: Revenge of the Cybermen) CyberNeomorphs in 2526, the invaders of Voga and the Cybermen removed by a Time Scoop to the Death Zone had portable cyber-bombs capable of devastating a planet. (TV: Earthshock, Revenge of the Cybermen, The Five Doctors)
In time, the Cybermen came to favour the hand-held cyber-gun over the built-in weapon. (TV: The Invasion onwards)
The Mondasian Cybermen encountered by the Eighth Doctor and the Twelfth Doctor had a powerful laser weapon built into their headframe. It emitted a thick yellow laser beam powerful enough to stun Destrii, kill humans, (COMIC: The Flood) cause large explosions, nearly kill the Doctor, destroy other Mondasian Cybermen, melt through steel and incinerate a fully evolved Cyberman when combined with the Master's upgraded laser screwdriver. When grappling a target, they could also emit an electro-magnetic pulse that, while non-fatal, was powerful enough to trigger a Time Lord's regnenerative process; the Twelfth Doctor was rendered unconscious and suffered impaired mobility after being attacked in this way despite trying to recover for several weeks. (TV: The Doctor Falls)
Originally, the only weapons owned by the Cybermen of Pete's World were their electrified hands, (TV: Rise of the Cybermen) but they later gained a small wrist-mounted energy weapon. These wrist blasters could easily kill humans from a distance, even if they were wearing armour. They were ineffective against Daleks. (TV: Army of Ghosts/Doomsday) They could act on their own, or be commanded by a wireless signal from the head. To keep victims from escaping, the Cybermen eventually equipped their heads with tranquilliser darts to sedate them. (TV: The Pandorica Opens) The weapons-grade Cyberman from the Cyber-Wars also used wrist blasters, which were capable of killing enemies from a distance. (TV: Nightmare in Silver, The Time of the Doctor) They could even destroy fellow Cybermen and emit an electric pulse from their hands that could knock a human out for a period of time. (TV: Death in Heaven)
Ashad, an incomplete Cyberman from the Cyber-Wars whose body contained elements of multiple models, possessed a wrist blaster, the energy of which could be drained by time hopping. (TV: The Haunting of Villa Diodati
Cyber-Warriors used both wrist blasters and energy blasters. (TV: Ascension of the Cybermen) The CyberMasters, who were derived from the Cyber-Warriors, possessed wrist blasters (TV: The Timeless Children) and were capable of using their electrified hands as a means of torture. (TV: The Power of the Doctor)
