The prototype models built by Davros on [[Necros]] retained the classic [[eyepiece]] and [[suction cup]] [[manipulator arm]]s, but also featured rounder bases. ([[TV]]: ''[[Revelation of the Daleks (TV story)|Revelation of the Daleks]]'') The [[Time Lord]]s believed their appearance was down to a "superior" white [[insulating layer]], whilst their gold sense globes were indicative of a notion of [[prestige]] more than anything else. | ||
The | The Time Lords suggested that these prototypes were based on the structure of the [[Type V Dalek]]s seen during the [[Exxilon Gambit]], themselves modifications of the [[Type III Dalek]]. This design was refined as the "Type VII" [[Imperial Dalek]], which was itself, according to the Time Lords, followed by the "Type VIII" [[Bronze Dalek]]s used in the [[Last Great Time War]]. These Bronze Daleks sported gold sense globes, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dalek Combat Training Manual (novel)|Dalek Combat Training Manual]]'') which were originally a distinguishing feature of the Necros Daleks.

The ''[[Dalek Survival Guide]]'' was aware that some observers described the general colour scheme of the Type 1 Imperial Daleks as [[cream (colour)|cream]], a designation which was discouraged by the [[Dalek]]s. The guide itself designated both the Type 1 and Type 2 Imperial Daleks as [[ivory (colour)|ivory]].

Davros created a new race of Daleks at the [[Tranquil Repose]] funerary complex on [[Necros]], using parts from [[cryogenics|cryogenically frozen]] bodies. Some, like [[Arthur Stengos]], he decapitated, modified and placed — still living — into a [[Glass Dalek]] casing. During the conversion process, Stengos' personality alternated between that of a [[human]] and that of a Dalek.

[[Orcini]] set off an explosion in Davros' bunker, killing many of the prototype Daleks. Other Daleks, loyal to the [[Black Dalek Leader|Supreme Dalek]], then apprehended him and the surviving Necros Daleks, intending to take Davros to [[Skaro]] for [[Davros' trial (Revelation of the Daleks)|trial]] whilst the Necros Daleks were to be reconditioned to obey the Supreme Dalek.
