Story At the centre of the story is International Rescue. With saving human lives as its theme, the series depicts the team's courageous response to disasters and accidents. Founded by billionaire Jeff Tracy, International Rescue is operated by his five sons — Scott, Virgil, Alan, Gordon and John — using the state-of-the-art Thunderbirds machines.

Across land, sea, air and even space, they deploy to avert disasters and help people around the world. They are supported by Brains, the engineer who designs and builds all their rescue machines; security specialist Kayo; and London agent Lady Penelope.

They are neither an army nor a police force. Their mission is to rescue people in trouble. Although a rescue may stop a villain's actions, they never pursue villains. That is the role of the Global Defence Force, or GDF. International Rescue is known throughout the world, but its true nature remains concealed. The Tracys follow the rule of selfless heroism. Another reason for preserving their anonymity is to protect themselves from evil organisations seeking to acquire their technology.

The Hood plans to conquer the world by exposing International Rescue's secrets and stealing its advanced technology. He is also believed to have been involved in the disappearance of the Tracys' father, Jeff...

At the end of season 1, Kayo's secret was revealed, and the notorious Hood was finally brought to justice. A few months after his capture, International Rescue goes about its usual work of saving lives. But the arrival of a new villain calling himself The Mechanic completely changes their daily lives.

He is almost an anti-Brains, building terrifying machines with never-before-seen designs on an overwhelming scale. Unlike the greedy Hood, The Mechanic acts boldly while conceiving far darker plans. The Hood regarded the damage caused by his actions as merely the cost of business. The cold-blooded Mechanic takes the greatest pleasure in that very destruction.

His face is concealed by a mask covering his mouth, and his voice is electronically altered, leaving his identity entirely unknown. More sophisticated and better equipped than the Hood, The Mechanic wears a high-tech suit that both protects him and lets him control machinery directly. Wearing it, he can move the machines and vehicles he has built as freely as though they were parts of his body.

International Rescue suspects a connection between this mysterious, formidable villain and the Hood. But who is The Mechanic?! Will the battle against the Hood ever truly end...?
