Blitzer Analogue
Check the behind the scenes section, the revision history and discussion page for additional comments on this article's title.
A backpack-like device was assembled by the Twelfth Doctor which was a rough copy of a superior of the Skovox Blitzer.
The Doctor assembled the device at a desk in the TARDIS control room out of materials he had around, including a speaker and a microphone.
When the Skovox Blitzer returned to Coal Hill School, the Blitzer Analogue began beeping. The Doctor wore it as he chased the Blitzer, and once the device was lit green he was able to speak into its microphone and give orders pretending to be its general. The Doctor didn't have the right code at first to order shutdown, and had to input it in a keypad which hung from the device. (TV: The Caretaker [+]Loading...["The Caretaker (TV story)"])
The Blitzer Analogue was on the floor near a central shelf in the Remembered TARDIS. (TV: Earthshock [+]Loading...["Earthshock (TotT TV story)"], Vengeance on Varos [+]Loading...["Vengeance on Varos (TotT TV story)"], etc.)
