While they were fragments of the Consciousness, Autons had degrees of individuality depending on the portions of intelligence given to them.

Although they had become pure energy, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion (novelisation)|Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion]]'') the Nestenes could still transition into physical forms, either through energy conversion or by constructing plastic bodies for themselves. They were able to absorb the [[psychic energy]] of willing [[human]]s, ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Auton 2: Sentinel (home video)|Auton 2: Sentinel]]'') and could convert complete human bodies into energy. One Nestene that was absorbed into a human mind was capable of [[teleportation]], projecting [[energy barrier]]s, and materialising Autons, although it may have converted the humans to do so.
