Talk:Handles

the Longest Companion Handles was with the doctor more than 300 years does this make handles the doctor's longest companion

The false Wilson equivocacy: what does a stupid ball have to do with this? There's a pretty significant difference between a talking robot head, and an inamiate object that the maoin character loses of his own accord.

"Cyberman"
Is it fair to classify Handles's species as a Cyberman? It seems pretty inherent to what a Cyberman is to be a converted organic being in the robot-suit — Handles is not that, and, as an individual, was never that, though the robot head that later became him used to be part of a Cyberman's robot-suit.--Scrooge MacDuck ☎  19:20, September 13, 2018 (UTC)


 * Well, yeah, Handles is a Cyberman head. Think to Age of Steel when an empty Cyberman suit attacks Mickey and Jake in the Zeppelin. Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, they referred to it as a Cyberman. But say we do change Handles' species, what would you suggest? Ben Moore512 ☎  19:28, September 13, 2018 (UTC)


 * Concerning the suit in Age of Steel — er, do they call it a Cyberman? All I remember is Mickey quipping "a robot suit's still a perfectly good robot". (Incidentally, do we have a page on said empty Cyberman suit?) I would honestly vote for both to be classified as "androids", in which category Handles' page is already placed. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  19:33, September 13, 2018 (UTC)


 * Like I said, I couldn't exactly remember. Haven't seen Series 2 in some time. But then again, the page states he was at least a full Cyberman at one point, he just had everything cleared out like organic parts and programming. So, I dunno, does that make him not a Cyberman anymore? Has there been another example we can use to decide? Ben Moore512 ☎  19:37, September 13, 2018 (UTC)
