3W Cyberman
Cyberdears (TV: Death in Heaven, PROSE: Meet Missy!) was Missy's term for the army of Cybermen she had created with the 3W Institute. (TV: Dark Water)
This model of Cyber-body was identical to the "weapons-grade version" (TV: The Doctor Falls) which were notably associated with the Cyberiad following the Cyber Wars of the 250th Millennium, (TV: Nightmare in Silver) theorised by one source to be the result of cross-pollination between the Mondasian-descended Cybermen of the Doctor's universe and the Cybermen of Pete's World. (PROSE: The Whoniverse) Incidentally, this model also appeared in an instance of parallel evolution aboard a Mondasian colony ship in a genesis event overseen by Missy's previous incarnation, the Saxon Master. (TV: The Doctor Falls)
Legacy
Missy claimed that Clara Oswald, her "latest minion", was "scarier" than her Cyberdears as well as Nestenes and the Daleks. (PROSE: Meet Missy!)
A later incarnation, the Spy Master, used the resources of the Cyberium along with the corpses of Time Lords to create a new form of Cyberman, the CyberMasters, who he referred to as his "pretties". (TV: The Timeless Children)
Whilst looking into memories of aliens for Into The Unknown, Professor Maxwell Grey met some young people who claimed to have memories of "metal men" outside of St Paul's in 2014. He theorised this was an example of the Mandela Effect, as older witnesses recalled a similar incident occurring in the 1960s. (PROSE: The Mandela Effect, Or Monsters on the Streets of London)
