Cyber-conversion as named by the Mondasians, or Upgrading as known to Cybus Industries of an alternate universe, involves the physical and mental re-engineering of Human victims into Cybermen.

Mondasian Cybermen

Cyber-conversion involves the replacement of body parts, including limbs, organs, and vital systems, with artificial components. Partial conversion, with the victim retaining autonomy and a human identity and body parts, is possible.

Cybus Cybermen

Full conversion involves the transplantation of the brain in a Cyberman body (TS: Tardisode 6).

During the Battle of Canary Wharf, the Cybermen, needing reinforcements badly, quickly converted Humans into Cybermen by encasing Humans in cybernetic shells, as with Lisa Hallett. Hallett would have died if her lover, Ianto Jones had not managed to retrofit a cyber-conversion unit into life support for her. (TW: Cyberwoman)
