  • I laughed like a hyena at the Survival crew getting chased by Gizleks on their first day, but it got me thinking; are the 100% machine or did Jobe have a hand in their creation and there's a soft gooey partially organic brain at the center?

    Also are they like they controlled by a central computer, or are they independent thinkers who are just very tightly controlled by their programing?

    Given that the few times we've seen Gizmatic, I think that they are purely mechanical robots. Giz always came across as why use biologicals, when mechanicals will work.

  • Do we know for certain that the Daleks seen in Survival were of Gizmatic manufacture? I doubt he's the only Whovian to attend Whateley.

    Those were likely holograms of some sort.

  • They were not holograms, they were robots, and can be rigged for various weapons, not just the paintballs.

    Are they of Gizmatic manufacture? To be fair, no one has seen the nameplate, it's on the inside of the case.

  • So it could just as easily say something like: Property of Davros. If found please return to Skaro, seventh galaxy post code XTRMN8?
