::The TARDIS has defences of unknown type, which could certainly handle deflecting the bullets. The Roboforms have also been seen to miss their shot before, meaning the Empress may have overstated the quality of their marksmanship. | ::The TARDIS has defences of unknown type, which could certainly handle deflecting the bullets.

:::Well, the TARDIS has been shown ''not'' to defend against Dalek guns (''[[Victory of the Daleks]]''), bullets ([[Doctor Who (1996)|''Doctor Who'']]), arrows (''[[The Shakespeare Code]]''), or even graffiti artists (''[[Aliens of London]]''). There has rarely been any kind of special protective field exhibited by the TARDIS, except when specifically "switched on", as during ''[[The Parting of the Ways]]''. Thus, there is actually no good reason for the Roboform's targeting ineptitude here. | :::Well, the TARDIS has been shown ''not'' to defend against Dalek guns (''[[Victory of the Daleks]]''), bullets ([[Doctor Who (1996)|''Doctor Who'']]), arrows (''[[The Shakespeare Code]]''), or even graffiti artists (''[[Aliens of London]]'').

::::None of those weapons penetrated the TARDIS at those times. As for the defences, we know it has them, we just don't really have any clue what they are, if they work properly (very few systems in the TARDIS *do* seem to work consistently), or when they have been switched on/off. | |||
*It takes an amazingly short amount of time for the waters of the Thames to journey to the centre of the earth and drown the children of Racnoss. And why doesn't the heat of the Earth's mantle evaporate it? | *It takes an amazingly short amount of time for the waters of the Thames to journey to the centre of the earth and drown the children of Racnoss.
