}}{{you may|Earthshock (TV story)|n1=the Fifth Doctor story}}'''''Earthshock''''' was a story concept in [[John Leekley]]'s [[Leekley Bible|series bible]] for Amblin Entertainment's proposed 1990s ''[[Doctor Who]]'' television show. It was based on the [[Fifth Doctor]] story ''[[Earthshock (TV story)|Earthshock]]'' and notably reinterpreted the [[Cybermen]] as piratical plastic "[[Cyb (Barusa's universe)|Cybs]]".<ref>''[[The Nth Doctor]]''</ref>

[[The Doctor (Barusa's universe)|The Doctor]] arrives in [[Wyoming]] in [[1994]]. In an underground cave of [[dinosaur]] [[fossil]]s, a number of [[paleontologist]]s were [[murder]]ed by a raiding party of [[(Barusa's universe)||Cybs]], galactic slash-and-burn marauders who converted themselves into beautiful cybotic<!-- [sic] --> organisms of vat-grown [[plastic]] after ruining the environment of their home planet, [[Mondas]]. They are protecting a [[bomb]] capsule capable of destroying [[Earth]].

Although the Doctor dismantles the bomb, the Cybs capture him and force their way onto [[the Tardis]], where a deadly fight takes place. The Doctor weaponises the Cybs' [[vanity]] against them, as well as their breathing apparatuses' vulnerability to [[gold]] dust.<ref name="DWR">''[[Doctor Who: Regeneration]]''</ref>
