S5E3 · The Tomb of the Cybermen Part 3
Toberman’s Forced Cyber-Conversion

The Cyber-energy is the mechanism of Toberman's forced conversion, a searing and unrelenting force that surges through his body, overwhelming his physical strength and zapping him into submission. This energy is not merely a tool but a symbol of the Cybermen's ruthless efficiency and technological dominance. It acts as both a weapon and a means of assimilation, stripping Toberman of his humanity and preparing him for cybernetic transformation. The Cyber-energy's role in this event is pivotal, as it marks the first successful reactivation of the Cybermen's dormant army, escalating the Doctor's race against time to prevent their full resurrection.

Before: Dormant within the Cybermen's tomb, awaiting activation to initiate conversions
