Cyberdrone
- You may be looking for Cyber-drone or Cyberman drone.
Cyberdrones were disembodied Cyber-heads which served as an advance guard for the Cybermen during the Cyber-Wars. They were criticised by the audience of the episode they featured in because they seem rushed, instead of making an entirely new object they reused old ones.
Characteristics
Capable of flight, Cyberdrones appeared as disembodied Cyber-helmets corresponding with the Cybermen associated with the Cyber Legions in N-Space, who themselves were all but identical to those created by Cybus Industries in Pete's World. Their eye-pods, which gave a blue glow of light, served as both a means of vision, providing a heads-up-display to pinpoint targets, and an energy weapon, firing blue pulses. (TV: Ascension of the Cybermen)
History
In the immediate aftermath of the Cyber-Wars, the Lone Cyberman and his Cyberguards used a flight of Cyberdrones to attack the last surviving humans. (TV: Ascension of the Cybermen)
Other references
In one parallel universe, a Cyber-Controller used "Cyberdrone" as a term for the fully-converted Cyberman units subordinate to it. (AUDIO: Code Silver) Similarily, a Borg-modified Cyber-Controller who crossed from N-Space to the Federation universe refered to its subordinates as "drones". (COMIC: Assimilation²)
