The Master's TARDIS



The Master's TARDIS was the TARDIS of the renegade Time Lord, The Master. He appears to have had multiple TARDISes throughout his engagements with the Doctor.

History
The Master's earliest TARDIS was a Type 45. (MA: The Dark Path)During his Earth-based vendetta against the Third Doctor and UNIT, the Master used a TARDIS with a Mark II dematerialisation circuit. (DW: Terror of the Autons) Unlike the Doctor's TARDIS, the Master's TARDIS had a fully functioning chameleon circuit.

One TARDIS used by the Master was destroyed on Traken. (DW:The Keeper of Traken)

A Type 45 TARDIS that the Master owned eventually evolved to become Lolita, a sentient TARDIS who took humanoid form. (CP: Toy Story)

Exterior
During his rivalry with the Doctor, the Master changed his TARDIS into several different forms:


 * An Adjudication flyer (MA: The Dark Path)
 * An out-of-date space locker. (MA: The Dark Path)
 * A horsebox (DW: Terror of the Autons)
 * A white door (DW: The Claws of Axos)
 * A spaceship (while he posed as the Adjudicator) (DW: Colony in Space)
 * The Stone of Sacrifice. (EDA: The Eight Doctors)
 * A computer bank (DW: The Time Monster)
 * A control panel. (EDA: Legacy of the Daleks)
 * A wardrobe. (EDA: Legacy of the Daleks)
 * A grandfather clock (DW: The Deadly Assassin, The Keeper of Traken, EDA: The Eight Doctors)
 * The Melkur (DW: The Keeper of Traken)
 * A police box (DW: Logopolis)
 * A bush (DW: Logopolis) (a cherry laurel, Prunus laurocerasus)
 * A Doric column (DW: Logopolis, Castrovalva, Time-Flight)
 * A marble fireplace (DW: Castrovalva)
 * Speedbird Concorde 192 (DW: Time-Flight)
 * An iron maiden (DW: The King's Demons)
 * A three-sided column (DW: Planet of Fire)
 * A wooden hut (DW: The Ultimate Foe)
 * A statue of Queen Victoria (DW: The Ultimate Foe)

On Traken, the Master disguised a TARDIS as the Melkur. In this form, the TARDIS was mobile and it could fire sonic attacks. When this TARDIS was destroyed, he fled in another TARDIS kept inside the other, this one again disguised as a grandfather clock. (DW: The Keeper of Traken)

While preparing a trap for the Fourth Doctor, the Master temporarily changed his ship into a police box, then later hid it inside the Cloister room disguised as a tree and finally as a stunted, brown Doric column. (DW: Logopolis) He later tended to use a column as his TARDIS's "default" exterior. (DW: Castrovalva, Time-Flight, Planet of Fire)

Interior
The Master's TARDIS had a varied interior. In its first appearance on-screen (DW: Terror of the Autons), only the scanner was visible. A later interiors seemed to mimic the Doctor's re-designs of his own TARDIS at the time of the encounter. (DW: The Time Monster)

Much of the time, the interior was simply a sombre, black version of the interior of the Doctor's TARDIS, sometimes with specialist equipment such as the Hadron web which he used to hold Adric. (DW: Castrovalva)

The Master's library
Like the Doctor, the Master's TARDIS had a well-stocked library. The Master's interests, however, tended toward the evil and arcane. Among the more diabolical works he possessed were the Necronomicon, shelved between the Liber Inducens in Evangelium Aeternum and The Black Scrolls of Rassilon. It also included the Book of Vile and its Black Appendix, The Ambuehl Lores and the Insidium of Astrolabus. (PDA: The Quantum Archangel)

Specific systems
Once, the Master tricked the Doctor into materialising his TARDIS around the Master's, creating a dimensionally recursive loop (DW: Logopolis), repeating a situation that had previously occurred accidentally. (DW: The Time Monster)

Behind the scenes

 * The Master's console room and console tended to mirror the Doctor's due to the same set (temporarily repainted) and console being used for filming.
