Doctor Who - The Reconnaissance Scout Dalek is Exterminated - Scene Reimagined Animation

What if Revolution of the Daleks featured Paradigm Daleks? My animated recreation of the iconic scene from the 2021 episode envisions how this episode may have looked had the Death Squad Daleks been led by an imposing paradigm Squadron Commander.

I also chose to feature the standard Time War casing for the Commander's underlings. However, unlike in the broadcast episode, the non-sensical claw has been replaced with the standard manipulator arm. They are also made unique with their black domes, highlighting their distinction as members of the Dalek Death Squad.

This project has been something that I have wanted to work on since the episode was broadcast. The main Dalek force felt rather disappointing in my opinion, and so I hope my recreation has done justice to the scene. Through this project, I learnt and practised numerous new techniques over the span of a month, and has resulted in a finished product that I am proud of. I hope you enjoy it!

Having the Bronze Daleks, Paradigm Daleks and Reconisance Daleks in an episode together would be awsome 😆

Feel so bad for the reconnaissance dalek. All he wanted to do was call his fleet and he gets treated like this. Justice for the recon dalek!

[NothingHereButMe]

See, a black dome makes all the difference - and the black Paradigm dalek is stunning. Why couldn't we of had this in the show smh

[gandalfthegrey]

Genuinely didn't realise this wasn't from the show. 10/10 work. The BBC should have you on the pay roll my dude!

[reecey]

It was so frustrating when they didn't do something different with the leader dalek - the script sort of built up to it and then, "oh, it's just a regular dalek". They didn't have to go overboard, a different coloured dome would have been enough. But nadda. Your version is much better, this is how it should have gone down.

[bowtieanimation]

Ooh, much better! The Paradigm Daleks were always obsessed with purity, more so than Daleks usually are, so it would make perfect sense to have one as commander of this Death Squad, especially in a lovely gleaming casing like that!

[kieran]

So happy you used the Paradigm dalek, it should of been in the episode to begin with!

[mattiust]

Awesome work, this is amazing.
If the Paradigm Daleks had looked like this rather than the telly tubbies we got, they'd have been winners.

[garrtoons]

I love how the Daleks only believe in purity to the point of even killing each other if one of them is even slightly foreign-looking or impure.

Really shows how demented and evil this species is.

[DalekTheSupreme]

Love that not only do your SAS Daleks have their own color scheme, you gave them have a unique Paradigm Dalek variant as their leader. I would have loved them to at least bring back one of those metallic red Drones for the episode. I'm glad you're giving them the justice they deserve.

[Squicx]

THE ANIMATION QUALITY YOU PUT INTO THESE VIDEOS ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING...

[rhodrage]

Everyones on about the Black Paradigm Dalek. Which is great. But I'm so happy to see Plunger back on the Bronze Daleks.

Love those subtle differences in modulation for each class of dalek. Makes me wonder why they gave a Paradigm voice for a normal golden dalek in the original scene

[skyrtvoid]

that episode really would’ve been the perfect time to bring back a Paradigm dalek, it’s sad because i really liked those designs

[jamesalflattsbarkingmadpro]

Love the colour scheme of the paradigm dalek. This is the look needed in the first place

[SirGarchomp]

It makes sense to have a paradigm with the Death Squad since they're obsessed with purity and the New Paradigm won't tolerate any impure daleks

Matt smith seeing a darlek destroyed by its own race.

"And I thought we were friends...." 😆 But I posted this comment before I read the description. This is amazing work! So well done.

[muhammadyahya]

So beautiful! If only the black Paradigm dalek was there in the show

[SudrianTales]

I like this scene, it reminds me of the execution scene from Planet of the Daleks.

Especially given as the Paradigms can kill Daleks painlessly (Victory of the Daleks)

It's some nice characterization
