8:44 I love how that line was chucked back at the one who was saying it in the first episode. I was pleasantly surprised with this series.

I remember seeing the Mechanoids back in the 60's, loved / was terrified of them. I drew them, and made models of them to pit against my toy Daleks (Louis Marx, etc al) Odd, but hugely gratifying to see them revived fifty+ years on. This is remarkable animation, so detailed and nuanced, right down to pitting and scarring on the Dalek casings. Even watching on a phone, I enjoyed it immensely, excellent story, too.

Very entertaining! Very much in the spirit of the 1960s TV21 Dalek stories where the Daleks did, in fact, twice face the threat of destruction on their own home-world. Once was due to the invasion of Skaro by a bunch of blue-skinned characters called "Monstrons", who used "Engibrain" robot soldiers to first attack the Dalek City, then engulf it in fast-drying liquid metal (!). The second time was when a Dalek experiment went wrong and an explosion created a cloud of radio-active (?) rust that attacked Dalek casings. In both cases, these threats were defeated by a single Dalek using initiative and ingenuity (sometimes suicidally), allowing others to survive and rebuild - which they always did! Long live the Empire!!!

The strategist REALLY pulled a "What's that over your shoulder?"
