The mechanics of K9 Mark I included rotating ear-probes, telescopic "eye" probe, extendable nose, flashing lights on the top and the "eye" panel, waggling tail antennae, and ticker-tape tongue. The head could also move up and down. The shell was painted in gold/grey metallic. There was a monitor screen on his left flank, though K9 rarely used this during his travels with the Doctor. Around K9's neck was a tartan collar, from which hung a silver disk. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Invisible Enemy]]'') By the time of his liberation of the [[Anubian]]s, K9 was modified (likely by the Time Lords or the Korven) so he could fly through the vacuum of space.

K9 claimed that he was shaped like a [[dog]] because "the human ego requires a familiar reference point to aid in adjusting to new concepts. Animal forms are comforting to the majority of humans."

=== Mark II === | |||
K9 Mark 2 was radically altered in design and far more complex compared to Mark I. His ear probes were replaced with larger silver aerials, a set of blue lights on his head flashed when he spoke. Most of his body was dark silver in colour and a silver dog bone was located under his neck. He seemed to have the same capabilities as Mark I but was presumably more advanced. When attacked and incapacitated, he could give his living metal frame downtime to attune to energy signatures of weaponry with combat conditioning shielding. ([[TV]]: ''[[Liberation]]'') He was also capable of emitting gas in a manner similar to flatulence. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Korven]]'', ''[[Alien Avatar]]'', ''[[Black Hunger]]'') He was able to use a tractor beam to pull an object as large as an adolescent [[humanoid]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Fear Itself (TV story)|Fear Itself]]'') he could also use it to absorb microscopic objects. ([[TV]]: ''[[Black Hunger]]'') Although he was vulnerable to energy attacks, he was nearly perfectly resilient when it came to explosive forces, as he said, while highly explosive forces were capable of damaging him, the only explosive force capable of destroying him was his own self-destruct function.

This new K9 didn't have any memory of his past life, although he did regain fragments of his memory, remembering some of his travels. ([[TV]]: ''[[Curse of Anubis]]'') | |||
