Braxiatel Protective Mechanoid Braxiatel Protective Mechanoids - or BPMs - were a force of robot s created by Doggles between the Draconian - Mim War and the Deindum War . They were built to protect the Braxiatel Collection , but they were also used to protect Doggle ' s moonbase and as part of a plan to interfere with the origins of the Deindum . ( AUDIO : " Resurrecting the Past " ) BPMs were six metre s tall . ( PROSE : " Six Impossible Things " ) Much of the technology inside BPMs was " way in advance " of what could be found in the early 27th century . ( AUDIO : " Resurrecting the Past " ) There were man - sized compartments in the chests of BPMs which could teleport humanoid s placed inside them . ( PROSE : " Six Impossible Things " ) If the teleportation system failed , ( WC : " Dead and Buried " ) the chests of BPMs could also function as stasis compartments which could last for several years . ( PROSE : " Six Impossible Things " ) They could emit hologram s from their hands . ( WC : " Dead and Buried " ) History . BPMs were developed by Doggles with a bit of help from Bodie . They were first put into use to fake an invasion of the Braxiatel Collection in order to discover which of the students carried weapons . When Bernice Summerfield permanently left the Collection , Doggles suggested that some of the mechanoids be sent out to track her down . ( AUDIO : " The Wake " ) Braxiatel left a BPM in a fake civilisation on Javarda as a trap for Bernice . Attempts to destroy the BPM with a high intensity thermal bore , a GPSI - X900 , and a Cryocab container managed to break the mechanoid ' s teleport system . The BPM nonetheless captured Benny and put her into stasis after Braxiatel briefly talked to her via hologram . ( WC : " Dead and Buried " ) Due to the damage caused by Benny , Adrian Wall was able to easily pry off the chest piece of the BPM and release her from stasis . During the five days in which Benny was in stasis , a legion of BPMs kidnapped human s from across the galaxy and teleported them to a secret base on the Moon where humans were tested to see how they could influence the biodata of the Deindum if they were sent to prehistoric Deindus . Doggles ran the moonbase with a staff of BPMs . Bev Tarrant and Robyn unsuccessfully tried to stop the BPMs from kidnapping humans . Benny , Adrian , and Bev were able to track down the moonbase after Robyn was teleported there by a BPM . ( AUDIO : " Resurrecting the Past " ) Doggles ' moonbase remained in use after the outbreak of the Deindum War . While working on the teleport systems of a BPM , Doggles accidentally teleported himself and the BPM to a space station 47 light - year s from the Moon . Adrian Wall rescued Doggles and the mechanoid and took them back to the moonbase . ( PROSE : " Six Impossible Things " ) From the moonbase , Adrian and Doggles worked on developing long - range teleportation with the BPMs . One trip drained more energy than they thought it would and Adrian was temporarily stuck on a planet while the BPM was on stand - by . In this time , he had an adventure with Bernice Summerfield and some refuges from the future of the Deindum War . ( PROSE : " The Better Part of Valour " ) Six months after the start of the Deindum War , the Deindum interfered with two BPMs patrolling the area near the moonbase and got them to feed fake footage back to Doggles . While it appeared to Doggles that all sectors around the base was clear , Deindum forces made a surprise attack and took the base . Doggles , Adrian , and Joseph teleported to the Braxiatel Collection before they could be captured . ( AUDIO : " Escaping the Future " )
