Mechanoid Flame Thrower

Steven watches the failed barrages amid Dalek extermination commands and Mechanoid grapples.

Mechanoids overwhelm Daleks in battle

The Mechanoids' flame throwers are initially deployed against the Daleks but prove ineffective due to the Daleks' flame-resistant armor. This failure forces the Mechanoids to abandon their ranged attacks and transition to a swarming, physical assault. The flame throwers' inefficacy highlights the Daleks' technological superiority in this area, but the Mechanoids' adaptability ultimately turns the tide. The discarded flamethrowers lie amidst the smoke and chaos, symbolizing the shift from failed tactics to overwhelming force.

Before: Functional and deployed by the Mechanoids, spewing flames in an attempt to neutralize the Daleks.
After: Discarded and rendered obsolete as the Mechanoids shift to physical restraint, lying unused amidst the battlefield.
