Described by the [[Tenth Doctor]] as "rush jobs" and "basic work units", Cyber-drones were [[human]]s who were partially [[Cyber-conversion|converted]] by the Cybermen. This partial conversion entailed the use of [[brain implant]]s, to condition the drones to serve the Cybermen, and [[limb]] replacements. The typical Cyberdrone was augmented with a partial [[Cyber-helmet]] with no [[eye-pod]]s or [[jaw]] and [[torso]] plating which was linked to the helmet via tubing. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Drones of Doom (comic story)|Drones of Doom]]'') | |||
Other Cyber-drones [[mine]]d [[Hargstone]] sported a pair of tubes atop the head as opposed to a helmet, while their torsos were covered by [[fur]] [[coat]]s. These miners were fitted with Cyberman limbs, either [[arm]]s or [[leg]]s or both, according to their tasks. [[Homaj]] was distinct in that his right [[hand]] was a drill. In addition, Cyber-drones of the initial type worked alongside them. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Enemy Mine (comic story)|Enemy Mine]]'') | |||

The first Cyber-drone of Centuria was an [[Thief (The Power of the Cybermen|interplanetary info-thief]] who used secret files from the [[Torchwood Archive]] to build his own [[Cybermen]], only to be converted into their slave. He served as a [[driver]] for a [[truck]] carrying other [[human]]s the Cybermen had abducted, including [[Jayne Kadett]], to [[Processing Factory Zero-One]]. Also among those captured was the [[Tenth Doctor]] who, with Jayne's assistance, saved his fellow captives from the Cybermen and destroyed their factory. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Power of the Cybermen (comic story)|The Power of the Cybermen]]'') | |||
Using a [[hypnotic]] signal, the Cybermen herded humans to [[Terminus 5]], where they were to be converted to Cyber-drones. Infiltrating the Terminus, the Doctor used his [[The Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]] to terminate the hypnotic beam, making the Cyber-drones self-aware, leading them to attack the Cybermen. During the battle, a [[fuel bank]] was ruptured, resulting in the [[airship]] being destroyed with both Cybermen and Cyber-drones still onboard. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Drones of Doom (comic story)|Drones of Doom]]'') | |||
In Centuria's arctic zone, Cyber-drones were used to [[mine]] [[Hargstone]] for transfer to [[Cyber-base]]. During their work, the Cybermen and [[Cyber-conversion|Cyber-converted]] [[dog]]s protected from the native [[Ice Snake]]s. One drone, [[Homaj]], had unstable [[mental implant]]s and so deserted, coming into contact with the Doctor and Jayne. Ultimately, Homaj gave his life as he used [[explosive]]s to seal the Cybermen [[mine]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Enemy Mine (comic story)|Enemy Mine]]'') | |||
