 According to one account, before his disfigurement, the [[Decayed Master|Thirteenth Master]] decided to "spice things up a bit" by using a [[staser]] instead of the TCE. After swapping bodies with {{Macqueen|n=a future self}}, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Two Masters (audio story)|The Two Masters]]'') he returned to using the TCE. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Deadly Assassin (TV story)|The Deadly Assassin]]'')
-Another account, however, suggested that the same Master who had been fond of using the TCE in his plots against the [[Third Doctor]] was the one who had become disfigured, and that, in fact, it was the device which ''caused'' his injuries. Specifically, [[Susan Foreman]], after psychically assaulting the Master, stole his TCE and intended to use it to destroy the [[matter transmuter]] the Master had stolen. With the crazed renegade refusing to let go of the transmuter, she fired the TCE at the machine while he was still holding it, and the interaction of the two advanced matter-manipulation device tore apart the Master's body, also preventing [[regeneration]].

 On another occasion the Master used the TCE against a [[velociraptor]] revived by the fountain of youth. However, it landed right back in the fountain, re-emerging unharmed but miniscule in size, making a comical sight. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Town Called Eternity (short story)|A Town Called Eternity]]'')

-The TCE ''was'', on the other hand, used by the parasitic being [[Es'Cartrss]] of the [[Tactire]] through a simulated reality in the Matrix of [[the Doctor's TARDIS]]; Es'Cartrss was posing as a version of the [[Tenth Doctor (Journey's End)|Meta-Crisis Doctor]] who had become [[the Valeyard]] and adopted the Master's beard and demeanour in the process.

 As {{Gomez}}, the renegade began using a [[Missy's device|new device]] that worked as a vaporising [[energy weapon]], a camera, or even a [[time stop]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') although she also kept a TCE device disguised as her onix hat pin, retaining the four petals over a glowing sphere. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Lords and Masters (short story)|Lords and Masters]]'') She used the TCE to miniaturise the [[board]] of a [[boarding school]] in [[Scotland]], so she could "have them in [her] pocket" to keep her position as [[headmistress]].

 === A return to the "classics" ===
-At some point, {{Gomez}} acquired a new and improved Tissue Compression Eliminator, ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Lumiat (audio story)|The Lumiat]]'') which now resembled an antique lighter. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spyfall (TV story)|Spyfall]]'') It was pre-programmed not to harm its owner ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[The Lumiat (audio story)|The Lumiat]]'') and could also work as a communication device. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'') However, Missy did not use it much, deeming it "old school" and "antiquated technology". During their first encounter, Missy's next incarnation [[the Lumiat]] stole the TCE from her "while she wasn't looking" moments before Missy shot the Lumiat to death, forcing her to [[regeneration|regenerate]] into a new incarnation.

-Feeling that tissue compression was "a classic", the [[Spy Master]] returned to making regular use of the TCE. In order to steal his identity, the Master turned this TCE onto [[O (Spyfall)|O]], an athlete on his way to his first day to work as a spy for [[MI6]]. Deciding that it was good to "keep a backup of one's work," the Master kept what appeared to be the original O in a [[matchbox]] for years, eventually showing him to the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] to support his story. Later on, after pursuing the Doctor to 1834, he shrunk three people with the TCE, which he mockingly introduced to the audience of a science fair as "the Incredible Shrinking Device".

-After reuniting with the Doctor on the [[Planet of the Boundary]], the Master threatened the Doctor's friends with the device to force her to return to [[Gallifrey]] with him. The Master later threatened the Doctor with the TCE when she argued with him. After [[Ashad]] stated that the [[Cyberium]] would never leave him while he was still alive, the Master used the TCE to kill the Lone Cyberman, releasing the Cyberium. However, the [[death particle]] was not detonated by Ashad's death as the Master had hoped and was instead shrunk with him. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'')
