Regeneration backup
Regeneration energy was the energy a Time Lord produced as a product of regenerating.

It was typically golden in appearance, (TV: The Night of the Doctor, The Day of the Doctor, The Parting of the Ways, The End of Time, Let's Kill Hitler, The Time of the Doctor, Hell Bent, The Doctor Falls) but it could occasionally be a bright ray of colours instead. (TV: Utopia)

It occasionally trickled from the hand as a sign of imminent regeneration, varying from barely noticeable, (TV: The Parting of the Ways, The Stolen Earth, The End of Time, The Doctor Falls) to clearly visible. (TV: Day of the Moon, Let's Kill Hitler, The Night of the Doctor, The Time of the Doctor, The Doctor Falls)

The energy itself was quite powerful, typically causing those nearby to back away, (TV: The Parting of the Ways, The Stolen Earth, Let's Kill Hitler, Day of the Moon) and once caused significant damage to the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS. (TV: The End of Time) It could also be used as a weapon, River using it to knock down several soldiers (TV: Let's Kill Hitler) and the Eleventh Doctor was able to destroy an entire Dalek fleet using said energy. (TV: The Time of the Doctor) The energy also sometimes brought the Time Lord regenerating extreme pain; the Ninth Doctor stumbled back as some surged from his hand, and he continued clutching his torso in pain until he submitted to the process. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) screamed in agony while purging himself of the energy, (TV: Utopia) as did Mels. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler) and the Eighth Doctor collapsed to the floor, groaning, when his regeneration started. (TV: The Night of the Doctor)

The Tenth Doctor remarked that the energy was in excess for roughly 15 hours after regenerating, enabling him to restore his hand after it was chopped off. (TV: The Christmas Invasion) River Song was also able to survive being shot by a group of Nazi soldiers due to the excess energy. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler) It was sometimes harmlessly expelled through the mouth, for a while after regeneration. (TV: The Christmas Invasion, The Eleventh Hour)

The energy was capable of creating an entirely new individual based on the Time Lord who produced it. In one instance, the Tenth Doctor used up one of his cycle's regenerations while still keeping the same face by channelling it into his former hand which was sliced off by the leader of the Sycorax, (TV: The Christmas Invasion) allowing himself to heal his body, yet avoid physical changes. This regeneration energy remained active and was accidentally interacted with by a human, Donna Noble, triggering a two-way human-Time Lord meta-crisis which caused the hand regenerate the missing body of its owner, creating a human-Time Lord copy of the Doctor and causing Donna gain the mind of a Time Lord. However, the presence of two minds inhabiting Donna at once nearly destroyed her and the Doctor was forced to block all memories of him from her consciousness to stop her Time Lord half from remaining active. (TV: Journey's End)



The energy could also be conjured for use without the need to regenerate. The Eleventh Doctor could willingly expend some of his remaining regeneration energy to heal River's broken wrist. (TV: The Angels Take Manhattan) The Twelfth Doctor willingly expended some regeneration energy to restore Davros' eyesight, metaphorically opening his veins to do so, (TV: The Witch's Familiar) and, potentially, again to fake a regeneration. (TV: The Lie of the Land) His Shadow World counterpart used a device to siphon energy from his personal future to temporarily restore his own eyesight. (TV: Extremis) When River Song used all of her remaining regeneration energy to bring the Eleventh Doctor back to life, the process nearly killed her. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler) The regeneration energy stolen by Davros from the Twelfth Doctor was capable of healing severely decayed Daleks, so much so they became strong enough to rebel against the cased Daleks and infest them. (TV: The Witch's Familiar)

Hierarchy
John Lumic/Cyber Controller, due to being founder of Cybus Industries and creator of the Cybermen, led the Cybermen upon his conversion, even having a throne like chair. He was their highest authority, so much so those who were captured were brought straight to him, like the Tenth Doctor, Rose and Pete. (TV: Rise of the Cybermen / The Age of Steel)

Upon his death, a Cyber-Leader became the Cyber commander of the Cyber Army. The original had black handlebars on his headpiece though subsequent replacements did not have this. Cyber leaders had the power to call other lower ranked Cybermen for support during heavy conflicts and generally controlled all the other Cybermen. They also held talks with other species, proposing alliances and declaring war and/or surrender to them. (TV: Army of Ghosts / Doomsday)

After the Battle of Canary Wharf, a Cyber-Lord became the Cyber commander. They were a seemingly higher rank of Cyber Leader, there only noticeable difference being that their purpose was to prepare for the creation of the CyberKing and that their brain was visible through their black face plate. (TV: The Next Doctor)

The said CyberKing was the control unit of a Dreadnought ship, integrated into it, making it the CyberKing. They typically led the invasion and takeover of a planet, serving on the front lines, using their advanced weapons to lay waste to cities, and acted as a mass conversion unit. (TV: The Next Doctor)

Then there was the typical Cyberman, a standard fighting unit of the Cyber Army. They were subservient to all except those beneath them. (TV: Rise of the Cybermen et al.) Such lower ranks were the Cyberdogs the search and guard units of converted dogs (COMIC: Enemy Mine) and the Cybershades, primitive, beast-like worker unit, converted by using a brain of a dog or a cat. (TV: The Next Doctor)

There were also Cyberdrones, partially converted humans, worker units who were used for the slave labour. (COMIC: Enemy Mine)

Lisa Hallett was a partially converted human who was sustained by life support system under the Torchwood base in Cardiff. (TV: Cyberwoman)

Cyberslaves were humans converted by being infected with a nano-form. They could fire electricity from their hands and follow basic orders. If desired, a Cyber-leader could easily disable them. (GAME: Blood of the Cybermen)

The lowest rank were humans controlled at the brain which were often only kept until fulfilling their required purpose, then killed. (TV: Rise of the Cybermen / The Age of Steel, Army of Ghosts / Doomsday)

Battle backup
Battle of Floor 0507 was a skirmish between the Twelfth Doctor and the residents of Floor 0507 against the Cybermen invading from Floor 1056 on a Mondasien colony ship. Initially ruled by, the Cybermen turned on him when the Doctor rewrote their definition of humanity, leading to the group fleeing to the upper floor while the Cybermen prepared to conquer the entire ship.

The Cybermen held a significant advantage as they were closer to a black hole, meaning years for them was mere days for the Doctor and the others, allowing them more preparation time.

The skirmish was eventually ended when the Doctor, having had Nardole evacuate the majority of the residents to floor 0502, used his Sonic screwdriver to ignite the floor, destroying all Cybermen present at the cost of forcing him to regenerate.
