On Gurnian, the Daleks used a magnetrap to capture the craft transporting Mary Stone and Andy Stone. (COMIC: Monsters of Gurnian)
On Earth, the Daleks used a magnetrap to capture the saucer Lucie Miller and Alex Campbell were using to carry their doomsday bomb. Alex tricked the Daleks into destroying the magnetrap controls at the cost of his own life. (AUDIO: To the Death)
