'''Nestene duplicates''' were [[plastic]] duplicates of [[human]]s created by the [[Nestene Consciousness]]. | |||
== Characteristics == | |||
In addition to the basic [[Auton]], more agile and maneuverable models were made as duplicates of humans. The Swarm Leader was able to create the body of a planet's native life-form from scratch; ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Synthespians™ (novel)|Synthespians™]]'') the first Auton created, [[Channing]]'s human appearance allowed him to infiltrate [[Auto Plastics]] and organise the Nestene invasion. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'') | |||
More sophisticated Autons could be created to copy and impersonate specific individuals. The originals needed to be kept alive to maintain the copy, although these were sometimes imperfect, looking and acting [[human]] except for a slight yellowing sheen or glint to the skin and a flat-sounding voice. When destroyed, the duplicates reverted to the appearance of a basic Auton, sometimes leaking Nestene blood. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'') One Auton copied [[Graham Winslet]] before reverting back to its basic form; however, it later appeared as Winslet with no apparent connection to the real man, although it may have only required a human appearance rather than Winslet's mind. ([[HOMEVID]]: ''[[Auton (home video)|Auton]]'', ''[[Auton 2: Sentinel (home video)|Auton 2: Sentinel]]'', ''[[Auton 3: Awakening (home video)|Auton 3: Awakening]]'') Occasionally if a copy wasn't necessary and an Auton simply needed to appear human, it could wear a plastic mask. ([[TV]]: ''[[Terror of the Autons (TV story)|Terror of the Autons]]'') | |||
Even more accurate Autons could be made, identical in appearance and actions to the originals. These units were implanted with false memories and actually believed themselves to be the real subjects they duplicated, being indistinguishable. The [[Rory Williams (Auton)|Auton copy]] of [[Rory Williams]] was even able to remember being erased from existence in the [[time field]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'') | |||
A number of famous figures were duplicated and displayed at [[Madame Tussauds]], including General [[Scobie]] whose [[Scobie (Auton)|duplicate]] was intended to take his place and command the [[British Army]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Spearhead from Space (TV story)|Spearhead from Space]]'') [[Mickey Smith]] was [[Mickey Smith (Auton)|copied]] to gather information on the [[Ninth Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'') | |||
[[Roman]] Auton duplicates taken from a memory print of [[Amy Pond]] mimicked humans perfectly and were used as sleeper agents until the Nestenes later asserted their influence, although the Rory Auton partially resisted this control.
