Cyberdrones were disembodied Cyber-heads which served as an advance guard for the Cybermen during the Cyber-Wars.

Characteristics

A Cyberdrone firing. (TV: Ascension of the Cybermen)

Capable of flight, Cyberdrones appeared as disembodied Cyber-helmets corresponding with the Cybermen design associated with the Cyber Legions in N-Space, who themselves were all but identical to those created by John Lumic and 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, Ashad and his Cyberguards used a flight of Cyberdrones to attack the Thirteenth Doctor and the last surviving humans. (TV: Ascension of the Cybermen)
