A novelisation of this serial, written by Terrance Dicks, was published by Target Books in March 1975, titled Doctor Who and the Giant Robot. The novelisation was retitled Doctor Who - Robot when it was reprinted in 1992, using the same artwork as the VHS release. An unabridged reading of the novelisation by actor Tom Baker was released on CD on 5 November 2007 by BBC Audiobooks.
It was also one of two Doctor Who serials to have a second novelisation written, aimed at younger readers using simpler language (the other being Junior Doctor Who and the Brain of Morbius). Also written by Dicks, this edition was titled Junior Doctor Who and the Giant Robot.

Famous quotes containing the word print:
“Summer set lip to earth’s bosom bare
And left the flushed print in a poppy there.”
—Francis Thompson (1859–1907)
“For a long time I was reporter to a journal, of no very wide circulation, whose editor has never yet seen fit to print the bulk of my contributions, and, as is too common with writers, I got only my labor for my pains. However, in this case my pains were their own reward.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
