When the TARDIS regenerated itself, the console was also drastically different. The shape of the console had returned to hexagonal, but control panels maintained a very unique shape, with the panels themselves being slightly separated from each other. The panels were mostly made of glass and plastic materials with Gallifreyan shapes etched into them and lights present underneath. This was the second console to have a primary dematerialisation lever, which appeared similar to the throttle of a 21st century plane, but with yellow lights. | When the TARDIS regenerated itself, the console was also drastically different.
