::: As for the man, isn't he the [[Control node]] of this particular crew?

:::: ''The Girl in the Fireplace'' does not use the term "control node", at the very least. He does seem to be the leader, and according to ''Deep Breath'' the leader of the repair droids is called a control node. If that's good enough reasoning, [[Control node (The Girl in the Fireplace)]] ''might'' be a valid new name, but it feels like a reach to depend on a later story.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 21:31, December 12, 2016 (UTC) | :::: ''The Girl in the Fireplace'' does not use the term "control node", at the very least.

::::: Ok, how about a proof by quacking: if it quacks like a control node it must be one. I don't really remember this myself, but the [[Control node]] page explains that without the control node the other droids stop functioning. I vaguely remember that when the Clockwork Man was frozen by anti-oil, the other droids also ceased moving. The current plot for the story claims that the Doctor stopped the others by pressing some lever. But what if they just stopped on their own (and the lever is the editor's rationalisation). I'll try to rematch it (but probably not today). The idea is: if this droid's malfunction immobilises the others, then he possesses one of the major features of the control node. Since he is a contemporary of the Half-Face Man, he must be a control node. [[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 21:44, December 12, 2016 (UTC) | |||
::: The only android with spelled out number I could find was [[Mark Seven]] and there seems to be some problem with his naming/designation anyways.
