Roboform: Difference between revisions

In [[2006]], the Roboforms were travelling with the [[Sycorax]] when they were attracted by the energy being released by the [[Tenth Doctor]], who had just regenerated. They planned to kidnap him and use his energy to power their ships. One group attacked [[Rose Tyler]] and [[Mickey Smith]] when they were [[Christmas shopping]], but their targets escaped and their missile launcher operator inadvertently felled a Christmas tree that killed them, rather than killing their targets. Another group sent a [[Roboform Christmas tree|robotic Christmas tree]] to [[Jackie Tyler]]'s [[apartment]] at the [[Powell Estate]] in another attempt to kill them, but the Doctor woke from his exhausted state and blew the tree up with [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|his sonic screwdriver]]. The Roboforms were then driven off Earth by the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion (TV story)|The Christmas Invasion]]'')

In [[2007]], the [[Empress of the Racnoss (The Runaway Bride)|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 with exploding Christmas tree baubles, though the [[Tenth Doctor]] was able to destroy them using a sonic pulse by firing his sonic screwdriver through the reception DJ's amplifiers. More Roboforms also defended the Empress herself. The Empress's personal guard, described by the Empress as "such good shots", was disabled by the Doctor, who had disguised himself as a Roboform to infiltrate the Empress' lair after Donna had been captured, 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]] [[flood]]ed the laser drilling site to the core of the Earth, where the Racnoss children were located.
