Roboform: Difference between revisions

The Roboforms were robots with featureless, vaguely skull-like heads that were cream-coloured. They were typically seen wearing full length black cloaks which concealed most of their bodies, with only the robotic faces visible. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'') When on [[Earth]] during [[Christmas]], they tracked the Doctor there as they could "smell" [[regeneration energy]]. They wore bullet-proof [[Santa Claus]] suits and metal [[mask]]s to blend in (giving them the nickname of Robot Santas). ([[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'', ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'') They also played music in public with instruments such as trombones and tubas which were ostensibly used as flamethrowers and guns or rocket launchers. Remotely controlled [[Roboform Christmas tree|Christmas tree]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'') and bombs disguised as Christmas ornaments. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'') They also used basic machine guns when controlled by the [[Empress of the Racnoss]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'')

In [[2007]], the [[Empress of the Racnoss]] took control of the Roboforms. She used them to keep track of [[Donna Noble]]. They attempted to kidnap her after she vanished from her wedding, then attacked her wedding reception (though the [[Tenth Doctor]] was able to destroy them using a sonic pulse). They also defended the Empress herself. The Empress's personal guard was disabled by the Doctor when he produced a remote control from his [[dimensionally transcendental]] pocket and made the Roboforms relax. They all slumped over and remained motionless, even as the [[River Thames]] flooded the laser drilling site where children were nested. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'')
