As the Cybermen [[deletion|deleted]] and upgraded the [[soldier]]s of the fort, the virtually-converted Osgood allied with Hive Section 49's [[Cyber-Controller (Code Silver)|Cyber-Controller]] to modify the Auctioneers' virtual reality [[app]], itself adapted from dimension bridge technology, into a [[smart phone]] app to virtually-convert millions of people in [[second]]s. Despite the efforts of [[Kate Stewart]] and [[Josh Carter]], Osgood successfully broadcast the app ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Code Silver (audio story)|Code Silver]]'') and the Cybermen flew across the Earth to the virtually-converted [[human]]s, in order to build conversion factories for full cyber-conversions. However, when {{Jacobi}} crossed the dimension bridge from a [[Parallel dimension (Telepresence)|parallel universe]] that the Cyber-Mainframe had invaded, he reluctantly allied with Kate and Josh to defeat the Cybermen and recover [[The Master's TARDIS|his TARDIS]]. After he was seemingly converted into the "[[Cyber-Master]]" by a modified [[mobile conversion unit]], the Master reprogrammed the [[dimension gate]] to upgrade the Cybermen's [[Electricity|power]] connections by drawing power from all parallel Earths; however, as this also included the parallel Earths that the Cybermen failed to successfully invade, the power drawn was contaminated, destroying all the Cybermen connected to the Cyber-Mainframe. Shortly after, the Master, free of his converted state, used the contaminated energy to power his TARDIS to return to the [[Last Great Time War]], saving the remaining virtually-converted humans from being killed by the contaminated energy.

While in the [[Arctic]] in the year [[2010]], the Doctor encountered Cybermen that had been buried under the ice for tens of thousands of years after being hit by a [[temporal storm]]. An excavation began to awaken the army, commanded by a [[Cyber-Lord (Blood of the Cybermen)|Cyber-Lord]], releasing [[Cybermat]]s which in turn created [[Cyberslave]]s. The [[Eleventh Doctor]] arrived on [[4 May]] [[2010]] and stopped their awakening. He blew up their ship and returned them to stasis.

In [[2011]], a group of Cybermen was encountered by the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Craig Owens]] in [[Colchester]]. They were based in [[Cyber-ship (Closing Time)|another crashed ship]] which the Doctor claimed had been crashed in the future site of the [[Sanderson & Grainger]] department store, "centuries" before the survivors were revived by the council laying down cables on top of it, which activated the ship's [[Cybermat]]s. The Cybermen attempted to rebuild their numbers and upgraded store employees [[Shona (Closing Time)|Shona]] and [[George (Closing Time)|George]], but they were eventually defeated when Craig's love for his son [[Alfie Owens|Alfie]] allowed him to resist [[cyber-conversion]] and destroy the Cybermen with a surge of emotion.

Another invasion was attempted in [[2013]]. When the Cybermen landed in [[Cardiff]] however, they abandoned their plan upon discovering the [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] bereft of power. Unable to fight back the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Rory Williams]] were brought to the flaghship which was set to self-destruct as the Cybermen evacuated. Despite their efforts, the Doctor and Rory managed to escape the vessel before it was destroyed.

Further into the decade, a [[Cyberman (Face the Raven)|Cyberman]] was a resident of the hidden [[Trap Street, London|trap street]] in [[London]] which housed lost aliens on [[Earth]] under the protection of [[Ashildr|Mayor Me]].

On [[19 August]] [[2020]], a [[Cyber-Warrior (14683 UNIT Field Log)|Cyber-Warrior]] emerged in [[London]] via the [[Time Fracture]], but was stopped by the military before it could attack any citizens. It ([[WC]]: ''[[14683 UNIT Field Log (webcast)|14683 UNIT Field Log]]'') would become one of many Cybermen encountered over the course of [[Operation Time Fracture]], with [[UNIT]] remnants warning their volunteers not to engage Cybermen they encountered. In particular, [[Weapons-grade Cyberman|weapons-grade Cybermen]] were a common sight during the operation. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Cybermen (feature)|Cybermen]]'') Upon entering the fracture, [[Tia Kofi (Tia Kofi Enters the Time Fracture!)|Tia Kofi]] encountered a [[Cyberman (Tia Kofi Enters the Time Fracture!)|Cyberman]] in [[Elizabethan era|Elizabethan England]].
