Robot Santas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Robot Santas (Pilot Fish) are a fictitious race/group of robots created for the BBC science-fiction serial Doctor Who. They are first seen in The Christmas Invasion as scavengers who have followed the Sycorax to earth in order to find the Doctor and take his regenerative energy to charge their batteries. At this time they use first flame-throwing musical weapons and a robotic Christmas Tree with razor sharp leaves to kill Rose, Mickey and Jackie to get access to the Doctor.

The second time the Doctor meets them, he is with The Runaway Bride Donna. They are of different design to those of the Christmas invasion but they still use musical instruments as weapons (although later on) they use machine guns. They have been ordered by the Empress of Racnoss to find Donna and bring her to her. They are shown to be considerable drivers. they are weak to powerful sound waves, and instead of using a killer christmas tree to crash Donna's party, they use hovering explosive baubles, which the Doctor later uses against the Racnoss Empress.
