The Daleks later used a magnetrap to capture Kirid's spacecraft. (TV21: The Emissaries of Jevo)
On Gurnian, the Daleks used a magnetrap to capture the craft transporting Mary Stone and Andy Stone. (DAN: Monsters of Gurnian)

- While referred to in-story as a "magnetrap", the feature Dalek War Machines in which it first appears refers to it as a "magnatrap".
