The most striking characteristic of the CyberMasters was their ability to [[Regeneration|regenerate]]; {{Dhawan}} [[Cyber-conversion|converted]] these Cybermen from the [[corpse]]s of Time Lords and genetically spliced the Time Lords' regenerative abilities into them. This effectively gave the CyberMasters an advanced self-repair system, allowing them to regenerate and recover from otherwise-fatal damage. The Master proclaimed that this made the CyberMasters "invincible", and demonstrated to the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] the CyberMasters' regenerative powers by having one CyberMaster shoot another CyberMaster with its Cyber wrist blaster; the latter CyberMaster was temporarily terminated, but quickly regenerated and fully restored itself. However, as they contained organic components, the CyberMasters were still vulnerable to the [[death particle]], even after it had been shrunk by the Master's [[Tissue Compression Eliminator]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Timeless Children (TV story)|The Timeless Children]]'') Their regeneration energy being used to power a [[retro-regeneration]] for the Doctor drained their regenerative powers completely, leaving the CyberMasters permanently dead ([[TV]]: ''[[The Power of the Doctor (TV story)|The Power of the Doctor]]'') | The most striking characteristic of the CyberMasters was their ability to [[Regeneration|regenerate]]; {{Dhawan}} [[Cyber-conversion|converted]] these Cybermen from the [[corpse]]s of Time Lords and genetically spliced the Time Lords' regenerative abilities into them.
