looks like he fell into some kids toy bucket and built a casing out of the toys.

And so the daleks all agreed they missed the 60s... But this is epic

Now see, this is what happens when Daleks try to be individuals.
JUST OBEY THE WILL OF DAVROS/THE EMPEROR/ SUPREME DALEK.

Might be able too...textures are a bit tricky in the program I use, so I'd need to be tricksy with it...

I claim this dalek for..........nothing in particular, probably interior decoration, for it is a good tie-dyed dalek and in my head it now talks like Dug from Up.

Would the Doctor, allow the Dalek Resistance or the Parallel Universe Daleks of the Mentor, live in peace, or would he still hate them to the point of destruction?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The Mentor's Daleks are just as much a threat as Davros', possibly more so, so I think he'd be just as against them. But the Resistance/humanised Daleks are...a little more complicated. It's quite a dillema, really. If you haven't read 'Children of the Revolution', the comic strip with the 8th Doctor, I'd see if you can find it. It's got a lot of good bits about why 'good Daleks' won't necessarily work out...

But I thought that the Daleks of the Mentor allied themselves with the humans against the Daleks of Davros and the Emperor. Did they only join the Humans to eliminate the other Daleks, only to later "NEUTRALIZE!" Earth too?

That's the problem with Daleks - they are and always will be single minded. They're programed to be so - it's like the clockwork droids on the M.D.P - they weren't evil, simply fulfilling their programing... if Daleks were programed to do 'good' acts they would do 'good' acts - unfortunately what one person see's as a 'good' act another person might not see as 'good'... and a Dalek NEVER allows for an extenuating circumstance.
For instance, say the populace of a nearby planet carries a terminal disease that would wipe out the populace of a planet near it. The populace refuses to allow doctors or medical staff to land and won't take inoculations to protect themselves or their neighbors... from one point of view they could be seen as acting 'evily' because they won't protect others or themselves against 'extermination' - but from another they could be seen simply as misguided beings who are terrified of an invasion when they're army and people are weak.
Unfortunately the Daleks wouldn't see either options - following a base program of logic, guided only by hate and determination, they would easily realize that the quickest way to protect the 'viable' and 'healthy' planet would be to 'neutralize' the carriers of the disease... every... last... one. According to logic the most 'humane' thing to do - to end the suffering of that planets populace and to protect the opposite planet - would be to commit an act of genocide.. in the name of GOOD, of course.
Everything must follow the goals set down in their programing - only the Cult of Skaro, the Emperor Dalek and the Black Daleks (what passed for the Dalek secret service in early comics) were programed to think beyond logic... and as we see that isn't enough because, without emotions beyond hate and anger to guide the thoughts beyond logic, they either went mad (hence the 'god' of all Daleks in NuWho) or simply carried out a perverted variant of their base programing (Remembrance of the Daleks or Revolution of the Daleks) that either led to their own destruction or the destruction of others

The worst of it is, unlike the Cybermen, the Daleks are more than capable of 'evolving' beyond their base genetic programing. It's happened by accident more than once. If they wanted, they could undo everything Davros did to warp them into monsters. They're clever enough - they just can't get past the notion that they're exactly right as they are...

What's really interesting is that every time an accident happens or some radical desperate last-ditch experiment occurs their so READY for change (like the Genocide machine or Evolution of the Daleks for instance) because their programming has held back their development for so long... sadly it always ends badly because what began the experiment or the accident almost never agrees with the end-result.
However, no matter how the emperor or the Black Dalek try to suppress it (or perhaps BECAUSE of how much they try to suppress it) it's always there - in the darkness of Dalek society - just burning to express itself in some way. So that when it gets the chance - through an accident or an experiment - it always ends violently from the Dalek superiors trying to suppress it again and the change trying to protect itself.
Unfortunately it's not just a notion that their perfect - it's an almost religious belief (if such a word can be used for a Dalek) it's the foremost tenet of Dalek society - everything is perfect as it is, NOTHING must change... so that any change or development one or two Dalek mutants manage to make NATURALLY are wiped from the halls of the Dalek people
Sad... yet certainly worth a story or two

I seem to remember a story - can't remember which - where the impossibility of the Daleks' purity is mentioned...that no matter how hard they try, evolution is inevitable...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know about that one - but a brilliant audio play by the name of The Mutant Phase covers something like that. The Daleks in that story have held off evolution or mutancy or natural genetic change (whichever of the billions of theories on special growth that you subscribe to) for so long that simple bee-sting in one of the Dalek Prime units causes the whole of Dalek-Kind to mutate violently into mindless venom-shooting monsters.
The Doctor has to go back and forward in time to find a way to stop the one thing that he's advocated to his greatest foe since their creation... change 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I've got the Mutant Phase - it is good. Nice to see them visiting the Invasion of Earth era again, complete with American Roboman...
It's typical though, isn't it? The one time Dalek evolution doesn't end in immediate extermination, it's because they've evolved into giant space bugs with virtually impenetrable hides...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There's a story in that...
And yeah I love stories set in Susans universe (what most writers call it) that we get to from 'jumped time tracks' or 'universal portals' or what have you... it's always a blast to see the robomen
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I think the Robomen have the edge on the Orgons in the creepiness stakes...

It's a bit more complicated than that. The Mentor Daleks did ally themsleves with the Earth Alliance, but they also began to neutralis (by which I meant, blast back to the stone age) planets that refused to give aid to the war effort. It's not that they conquered out of malice - they were just so single-mindedly dedicated to peace and defeating the Davros Daleks that woe betide anyone who got in their way or wouldn't - or couldn't - help them.
