As Yvonne Hartman observed, the Cybermen of Pete's World converted humans by removing their brains and placing them in a suit of armour, (TV: Doomsday [+]Loading...["Doomsday (TV story)"]) which was known as a cyber-suit.

By Ice Warriors
As explained by the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctors, the Ice Warriors constructed and wore bio-mechanical survival armour for protection so they could exist in the freezing cold of their homeworld, Mars. The former characterised them as becoming bio-mechanoid cyborgs, while the latter observed "the creature within is at one with its carapace."

As noted by the Eleventh Doctor, a sudden increase in temperature, such as being struck by a cattle prod, sent the armour haywire. The Doctor's encounter with Skaldak was the first time he'd seen an Ice Warrior leave its armour, discovering that the Ice Warriors could also summon their armour to them.
