| - The Mechonoids first encountered the Daleks when they built a space station for refuelling on the route to the planet Oric. The Mechonoids used their suspicion ray on one of the Daleks there, causing it to perceive other Daleks as its enemies and kill them. The Mechanoid Interceptor which held the ray was destroyed by the Daleks, but the Dalek ship was then attacked and melted by two other Mechonoid ships. The Mechanoids then broadcast a message to the Daleks on Skaro, warning them to avoid their territory. The Daleks instead began preparing for war with the Mechonoids. (COMIC: Eve of War) The Zerovians, seeking to prevent war from breaking out between the Daleks and the Mechonoids, sent their robot agent, 2K, to accomplish this. The robot manipulated the Daleks into destroying the rogue planet Skardal, which they had set on a collision course with Mechanus, then told the Mechonoids that the Daleks had saved them purposely. The Mechonoids then called off the war, although they still considered the Daleks their enemies. (COMIC: Impasse) Some Mechonoids were sent by humans to prepare Mechanus for colonisation, but Earth got caught up in interplanetary wars such as the Human-Draconian War, the Second Dalek War and the Third Dalek War which put an end to the Earth Empire's expansionist phase (PROSE: The Chase) and the colonists never arrived. Steven Taylor crashlanded on Mechanus and was taken prisoner by the Mechonoids. The Daleks followed the Doctor's TARDIS to Mechanus and battled the Mechonoids. (TV: The Chase) The Mechanoids came close to winning by drawing the Daleks into an ambush at Mechonoid City, only for the Daleks to destroy the city with an atom divider. The survivors swore revenge. (COMIC: The World That Waits) The Daleks later fought Mechonoids on Hesperus. (PROSE: War of the Daleks) On Lethe, Davros combined organic tissue with Mechonoid shells to create Juggernauts. (AUDIO: The Juggernauts) The Mechonoids last stronghold was on Magella. The Daleks attacked and destroyed all the Mechonoids, making them extinct. (PROSE: Birth of a Legend) During the 41st century, Mechonoid shells were recovered from worlds ravaged by the Daleks and brought to Station 7. At some point, a Dalek force attacked the station while searching for "the Abomination", and the Mechonoid shells were destroyed along with the station. (COMIC: The Only Good Dalek) At some point, the Mechonoids fought a series of wars with the Thals. (AUDIO: Brotherhood of the Daleks) A dead Mechonoid appears in Henry Van Statten's museum. (TV: Dalek)
- The Mechonoids (also known as Mechanoids or Mechons) are an intelligent race of nearly-spheroid robotic servants created by Human colonists. At least one group of Mechonoids is known to have been abandoned and went on to create their own civilization on the planet which they went to call Mechanus. Despite their unimpressive appearance and humble origins, they are known as extremely robust warriors, as evident by their ability to withstand a Dalek invasion on their own right.
