Kamelion gets a rough time throughout the story; it was established in 'The King's Demons' that he can't resist the Master, but circumstances on Sarn mean that he doesn't even get sympathy from the Doctor, who refers to him as a puppet and generally belittles him in an attempt to overthrow the Master's control.
But to his credit, Grimwade does at least give Kamelion some characterisation of his own; the scene in Episode Two in which he desperately shakes off the Master's influence just long enough to allow Peri to escape and try to reach the Doctor shows that he is not a willing servant of the Master.
Kamelion held this form just long enough to persuade the Doctor and Turlough to vacate the TARDIS once landed on Sarn and then, at the climax of episode one, it reverted to the striking features of the Master, albeit minus the Traken robes of Tremas.

 Planet of Fire
Kamelion was the nice-idea-at-the-time Season 20 gatecrasher, who was quickly abandoned in the cold morning light of the next years scripts.
And with Kamelion, there was no need for all that anguishing over a glowing crystal, or coming good at the end of it.
The addition of Kamelion also allows the narrative to easily leap through hoops it couldn't have otherwise; the Master infiltrates the TARDIS despite being trapped in miniaturised form, and Peri is fooled by his guise as Howard.

Kamelion gives the TARDIS comparator to Peri, begging her to get it to the Doctor and warn him about the Master, but is overwhelmed once again and fully transforms into the Master.
Kamelion, sensing that Timanov is growing uneasy due to the threats of death and the lack of promised gifts, decides simply to leave the Doctor sealed up to die in the imminent eruption.
Although Kamelion is now dead, a portion of his personality survived due to his interface with the TARDIS, which is eventually given a new form by an alien race -- the Gelsandorans -- as a second chance in The Ultimate Treasure.

 The Crystal Bucephalus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Meanwhile, Kamelion destroys the statue, and as the Doctor had hoped, the TARDIS is blasted free of the Vortex and materialises in the mezzanine.
Kamelion, realising that he cannot be trusted, decides to remain in the TARDIS from now on while the Doctor and his companions venture outside.
Although Kamelion's vow to stay inside the TARDIS means he isn't involved in many stories, he does still feature in Imperial Moon, Planet of Fire, where he dies, and, oddly enough, The Ultimate Treasure.

 Kamelion
Kamelion was a shape-changing android a tool, used by an earlier invader of the planet Xeriphas.
However, Kamelion now shrunken due to an accident with his Tissue Compression Eliminator (TCE), and under the mental control of the Master, was forced to first impersonate Professor Howard Foster, Peri Brown's stepfather, and later the Master himself.
While posing as the Master, Kamelion tried to take control of the people of Sarn, but when he was used against the Doctor, Kamelion managed to assert, his own control, and begged the Time Lord to destroy him.

Kamelion and Peri go outside, but an earthquake knocks over the Master’s ship — which is shaped like a column — and Peri is able to escape.
He revives Kamelion and, when the Doctor and Peri are distracted, the android moves the Master’s TARDIS to the column of flame.
Kamelion is written out in this story, which also features Anthony Ainley again as the Master, who is encased in numismaton gas (a story element penned due to the fact that Ainley's contract was about to expire, so he could be suitably written out of the series).

Kamelion presumably travelled with the Doctor during all the stories in between "The King's Demons" and "Planet of Fire", but due to technical difficulties with the robot used, he only appeared in those two stories.
Kamelion was created by the earlier invaders of the planet Xeraphas, used as a tool in their invasion.
Kamelion remained on Xeraphas after the invasion, and he was instrumental in helping the Master escape from the planet.

Kamelion itself was rather difficult to actually manipulate, especially after the only man who knew who to operate it died (which explains why Kamelion is far more static in Planet of Fire than The Kings Demons).
Kamelion dosn't do a heck of lot (actually, Kamelion dosn't do a heck of a lot in any of his stories), being, for the most part, either stuck in the TARDIS (as usual) or having his mind controlled by someone else.
Kamelion is the only companion on TV who committed suicide (sort of) and I shall always think of Kamelion as rather endearing.

 Target Practice #092: Doctor Who - Planet of Fire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Yes, there are bad bits: the curiously immobile Kamelion (and his need to change into 'silver Howard'), some bad CSO effects for the tiny Master, and a rather slow-moving story.
Part Three: The Doctor's verbal attempt to reach Kamelion is much more detailed, and almost succeeds: he reduces it to its shimmery 'intermediate state' between robot and Master before it orders the prisoners taken to the cave.
Kamelion's Master form wears a Burtons suit, but that may actually be left over from the Howard persona.

The Master appears and explains that he used the android Kamelion — to escape from Xeriphas, the planet on which the Doctor trapped him at the end of their previous encounter.

Kamelion was stuffed in a closet until Planet of Fire, where he wandered round the console room screaming and got shot.
It revolves around Kamelion impersonating King John, but doesn't seem to take into account for the first three quarters of the story that he is actually not the head of the realm, but the Master's servant.

Like in real life, Kamelion plays a relatively minor role (the Kamelion robot proved too problematic to use prominently in filming the series), so it largely falls to the Doctor and Turlough, and their astral mariner allies, to deal with the mysteriously populated jungle crater on the lunar surface.
Kamelion the shape-shifting robot is similarly wasted except for a brief bit.

Recalling a description of Logar as a silver-clad god, Timanov believes that kamelion's arrival is a sign of the divine-one's anger at the heretics amongst them, and so the Master demands through the robot that the Doctor should be sacrificed to the God of the Mountain.
Having been taken prisoner by Kamelion during an earlier encounter, Peri is able to locate the Master's hideout, finding him reduced to less than a tenth of his normal size as a result of an accident with his Tissue Compression Eliminator.

The Master showing Kamelion off in Episode Two is a pure Dr Evil moment, since he just stands and explains his plan with a smug look, but his showing off does recapture the relationship of old between them.
The problem is, the relationship of old is captured to the extent that, even after the Master's destruction of a large portion of the universe in 'Logopolis', the Doctor still pleads for the life of his former friend at the start of Episode Two.
The problem is, this is something of a non-event; as a plot device, Kamelion is a contrivance; as a new companion, he has potential, but due to the notorious behind the scenes tragedies associated with the prop, this potential was never explored on screen.

 An Analysis of Resurrection of the Daleks by Alan Stevens
Why this change took place has still yet to be revealed; however, the decision was to have a dramatic impact on "Resurrection's" structure and plot, which, together with the rewrites insisted on by Nation, and other behind-the-scenes pressures, was to result in a story shot through with logistical and ethical uncertainty.
It would appear that Saward is attempting to work in elements of the abandoned Kamelion storyline with a "Destiny of the Daleks"/"The Dalek Invasion of Earth"-style plot about a Dalek slave-worker uprising; the result, while visually appealing, is inconsistent and poorly strung together.
The process appears to be a fairly lengthy and pointless one, also, in which the original person's mind is recorded on reel-to-reel tape, a duplicate body made and the recording played into the duplicate; why the Daleks do not simply play the recording, suitably altered, back into the body of the original, is never explained.
