War Machine 3 (WM3)

Heavily armored autonomous robot War Machine 3 (WM3) lies disabled in Covent Garden Market after collapsing from incomplete programming. The Doctor kneels beside its wrecked frame, runs hands over its superior plating, and praises the elegant design while diagnosing the fatal software gap that halted it mid-operation. Summer and the Minister watch as he explains the flaw to them, turning the inert machine into proof of WOTAN's rushed activation. Soldiers stand guard nearby, rifles ready against its silent threat.
