When the [[Death Zone]] was reactivated and four of [[the Doctor]]'s [[incarnation]]s were trapped there, the [[Third Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] encountered the Raston Warrior Robot by a cave entrance and had to remain still to avoid detection. A patrol of [[CyberNeomorph]]s appeared and the [[robot]] attacked them instead, firing a barrage of [[javelin]]s into their chest-plates and destroying them all, allowing the Doctor and Sarah to sneak past while it was occupied.

[[Ryoth]] used the [[Time Scoop]] to send this same robot to the [[Eye of Orion]], where it attacked the [[Fifth Doctor]], [[Tegan Jovanka]] and [[Vislor Turlough]]. The [[Eighth Doctor]] joined them. By using the paradox known as [[Buridan's ass]], the two Doctors approached it at the same pace so that both were equidistant from it. Unable to decide upon a target, as the Doctors' identical brain patterns meant that it was sensing the same target in two different places, the Raston Warrior Robot deactivated. It was reactivated when a [[Sontaran]] trooper kicked it. It killed the entire regiment but was itself defeated by Commander [[Vrag]] who, in his death throes, ripped its [[head]] off. However, it repaired itself after the Doctors had departed, and resumed guarding the area.
