So I understand that the Nestenes give life to the Autons, but are they one and the same? What is the difference? I think the [[Robot Yeti]] are just robots and not necessarily extensions of the [[Great Intelligence]] because they can be turned off and on, but are the Autons merely robots or do the Nestenes "possess" them? [[Channing]] was an Auton but he spoke of them and seemingly identified himself as a Nestene. Do the Nestenes even have bodies? I know they are assumed to, but they are creatures composed of psychic energy, so why build themselves bodies? - [[User talk:Steed|Steed]] 19:11, March 28, 2013 (UTC) | So I understand that the Nestenes give life to the Autons, but are they one and the same?

As I say, I think it's confusing to try to understand '''all''' Autons the '''same''' way. Different types have different purposes & characteristics, just as our machines do. --[[Special:Contributions/2.101.59.235|2.101.59.235]]<sup>[[User talk:2.101.59.235#top|talk to me]]</sup> 17:46, May 3, 2013 (UTC) | As I say, I think it's confusing to try to understand '''all''' Autons the '''same''' way.

P.S. The "Roman" Autons in ''The Pandorica Opens''/''The Big Bang'' seem to have been unusually realistic -- partly because a greater effort was made to make them realistic & partly because, as the Doctor said, the Nestenes got more than they expected (or even knew about) when they used Amy's memory. --[[Special:Contributions/2.101.59.235|2.101.59.235]]<sup>[[User talk:2.101.59.235#top|talk to me]]</sup> 17:54, May 3, 2013 (UTC) | |||
