Worldshapers were devices used to make drastic changes on a planetary scale.
Voord Worldshapers
According to Frobisher, the Worldshapers were banned "ages ago" by his time, after a unit installed on Yxia tore the entire solar system asunder. On Marinus, the Voord commandeered the fourteenth malfunctioning unit on engineer Maxilla's interplanetary maintenance list and used it to accelerate their technological evolution. The Sixth Doctor recognised that the end result of these changes would be the Cybermen, so Jamie McCrimmon gave his own life to ensure the device was destroyed. The final blast from the dying machine altered the planet's landscape into what the Doctor identified as Mondas (COMIC: The World Shapers). However, he may have been speaking poetically or outright mistaken in his theory, as the Twelfth Doctor later claimed that the Mondasian Cybermen had evolved independently of those on Marinus and Planet 14. (TV: The Doctor Falls)
Aesirian world-shaper helmets
The Aesirians created world-shapers in the form of helmets. These devices could perform almost any change. Most Aesirian world-shapers were destroyed in the Aesirians' war with other cosmic superpowers, but Time Lords managed to preserve some in the Braxiatel Collection. Brian Carrios stole one before being fired from the collection and used it to become the most famous geohacker in history. In at least one case, on planet Campra his geohacking amounted to a genocide. The Ninth Doctor neutralised the helmet, leaving the Shadow Proclamation to decide what to do with it. A curious by-product of this incident was Jack Harkness's face on the side of one of the Eye of Orion's moons. (COMIC: Hacked)
