Disturbed by the experience of momentarily thinking like a real T-Rex, Kevin asked the Doctor if he could travel with him in hopes of finding a better role in life. The Doctor agreed and somehow managed to get Kevin inside the TARDIS. | Disturbed by the experience of momentarily thinking like a real T-Rex, Kevin asked the Doctor if he could travel with him in hopes of finding a better role in life.

Kevin's size and appearance occasionally caused difficulty during his travels with the Doctor. Unlike the Doctor's humanoid companions, Kevin could not blend in easily with many of the societies visited by the TARDIS crew. During his first week aboard the TARDIS, his size hindered a quick escape from Sitting Bull's warriors. He later tried and failed to impersonate a detective in 20th Century Los Angeles. Kevin's tiny arms also caused problems, making it impossible for him to assist the Doctor in piloting the TARDIS. On the positive side, he proved himself adept at scaring away hostile aliens, although Amy admitted that she missed the usual "running away lots" tactic normally employed by the TARDIS crew. Kevin almost caused a panic in [[Japan ]]when the locals mistook him for a kaiju (a colossal monster in the vein of the famous "Godzilla") and thought he was going to destroy [[Tokyo]]. The forlorn robot eventually confessed his troubles to Rory, stating that he felt he would never become something better as long as other people judged him by his appearance. Rory consoled him by admitting his own troubles in adjusting to TARDIS life, and he reassured Kevin that one day he would find his purpose. | Kevin's size and appearance occasionally caused difficulty during his travels with the Doctor.

When the TARDIS visited a [[space station]] known for its Granberry Smoothies, Kevin elected to remain inside the TARDIS, but came to the rescue when his friends were threatened by possessed [[cult]]ists. A mind-controlling space squid appeared outside the station and took over the minds of most of the inhabitants, but Kevin and the Doctor were both immune to its powers. After rescuing Amy and Rory from the cultists, the Doctor fashioned a battle suit for Kevin and gave the robotic T-Rex a concoction designed to knock out the cephalopod. Kevin engaged the squid in combat. Making good use of the extended mechanical arms on his battle suit, he defeated the squid and freed the population of the station. Kevin decided to remain on the station as its new chief of security. | When the TARDIS visited a [[space station]] known for its Granberry Smoothies, Kevin elected to remain inside the TARDIS, but came to the rescue when his friends were threatened by possessed [[cult]]ists.
