The Mechanic

The Mechanic is the main antagonist of ''Thunderbirds Are Go! ''season 2.

The Mechanic, just like Brains, is an inventor. However, he decided to use his creations for diabolical means instead of for good. One notable invention of his are the Mechas, a suite of drones used for harm, which include the Scorpion-Mecha, Ray-Mecha and Air-Mecha.

season 2
In Earthbreaker,The Mechanic deploys a giant earthbreaking machine to mine for scandium ore. In the process, another group of miners fell into the resulting crevice. The Global Defense Force and International Rescue were called out, but the Mechanic took out the GDF Fliers and warned Thunderbird 1 and its pilot (who was the first on the scene) to stay away. When Thunderbird 2 arrived and attempted to rescue the miners using its Electromagnetic Pod Grabs, the Mechanic sent out a fleet of Air-Mechas. The Air-Mechas severed the grabs and destroyed all but one of its VTOL thrusters, forcing pilot Virgil Tracy to crashland back on Tracy Island.

Kayo, aboard Thunderbird Shadow, infiltrates the Earthbreaker and tries to shut it down. Upon meeting the Mechanic, he sends an Air-Mecha after her. Kayo destroys the Mecha, and with a bit of help from Brains diverts control of the Earthbreaker to International Rescue. In response, the Mechanic sends out more Air-Mechas after her, and Kayo has to break the link to evade them. Meanwhile, Scott has evacuated the miners and is on his way out, but with the Mechanic back in charge he tries to kill Scott using the Earthbreaker's massive saw. In the nick of time, Kayo severs a cable and the Earthbreaker shuts down. Without nothing else left to do, the Mechanic overloads the Earthbreaker's engines, and after Kayo and him escape, the Earthbreaker blows up.
