Anyone heard of Thunderbirds 2086?
Andy Scheffler
called SelectTv, and they had on it a Japanese Cartoon called
Thunderbirds 2086. We managed to record about 15 or so of the episodes,
and I just loved it as a kid. Now, no one I ever talk to has heard of
this show. I would be really appreciative if anyone could tell me where
I could get a hold of the other episodes, or just e-mail me and let me
know I'm not the only person on Earth to remember this cartoon. If
necessary, I could look at the credits and find the company, I can't
remember it offhand. Thanks in advance.

I saw it when I was 13 I think. It was my favorite show! It has
elements of drama and suspense and Class :)
The rescue attempts were awesome and very original :) I love
everything about it. Some of the episodes are still in my mind...
I never talked about this because everyone keeps mistaking this
for the Thunderbirds.
BTW, the episodes that I saw were dubbed, I assume that your
episodes were too, or am I wrong.

It made it over here to England as well. No idea what it's real name was
though, or where you could find old episodes.

RELIGIOUSLY(sp) when I was a kid. It involved I believe 5 people 1
female and they went all over the earth saving the day every week. The
only thing I can remember distinctly is that the aircraft they traveled
in would turn into a firey bird. I also believe that they had a secrett
base underwater. I even had a coloring book about them. Any ideas folks?

Battle of the Planets (originally _Kagaku Ninja Tai Gatchaman_).

That would be Battle of the Planets, a rather mangled dub of the Tatsunoko
show Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. I don't know if it is being shown
anywhere these days, but I remember watching it a lot when I was a kid, too.

Thunderbirds. THe add was running during The Mighty Morphin Power
Rangers (No, I don't watch this show, but It was after Batman!) Anyway,
I've never seen it. The only Japanese anime I remember was the G-Force
with that team with the Bird hats. ANyone know what I'm talking about?.
Anyway, I hope that helps. Maybe Bravo will play Robotech, I mean they
brought back Max Headroom, right? Amanda Pays... AHHHH!

Robotech is currently being showed at 7:30am EST ( I don't know if
they delay shows for different time zones ) on the Sci-Fi channel! I
have only watched the last two days of it, they are still in the First
Generation, but the SDF-1 and SDF-2 have not been destroyed yet, so the
Zen havent obliterated Earth yet. More precisely, I think it is during
the Zentraedi Uprisings! Better be hoping you have the channel!

n out some parts of the show, so it isn'tnecessarily great for taping.
I guess they feel the episodes are too long or something so they cut some
unnecessary scenes. So don't expect to get the perfect episodes.

Japanese pronounced it "Teknoboija" but that's the limitations of the
Japanese language) and the original puppet series "Thunderbirds" which
has made a big come-back over here (I can get the toys just about
anywhere these days).

Rob,
It is still played on Channel 2 in Puerto Rico 6:00 am Saturday mornings
(I don't know of any other times, maybe Sunday also?) dubbed in Spanish.
If you can deal with that, find someone who lives there -_^.

I never saw what MST3k did with the show.
As for owning it on LD, yes, I'll admit that I paid $4.88 for the
Stingray LD at my local Camelot on the discount rack. I've only watched
the first 15 minutes of it, but the dramatic cheesiness of the show had
me laughing helplessly. ^_^ I guess if you like cheesy movies, you may
get a kick out of this show.

article (at that time) on Thunderbirds 2086 with a big ??!! caption on
it showing surprise at the changes.
John Yoon
Whoaa! That brings back childhood memories.. fun stuff like Marronette-vision.
or whatever the heck it was called. :) However, I always thought that it
was creepy how only the lips and not the jaw would move when they talked..
it reminded me of how Mr. Ed looked when he talked. Anyway, getting away
from the nostalgia trip for a second, I noticed a commerical while watching
The Simpsons this Thursday which said that the show was coming back and
would be shown Saturday mornings on FOX. Anyone know anything bout this..?

Fox is broadcasting the Supermarination (ie: Gary Anderson) Thunderbirds at
9:30 ET Saturdays starting this Saturday (EEK was moved to 8:30 bumping MMPR
[which has been preempted by OJ during the week]). My TV Guide seems to
think that this is an Updated Version of the 60's show and not the 60's show
itself. I'll have to wait to see (the clips seem to be from the old show so
far as I can see).

Excuse me but I believe Thunderbirds 2086 refers to the anime
series that was originally called Techno-Police 2086 and aired
in the Us around the 1987-88. There is the other Thunderbirds,
the puppet one.

I'm gonna say this again... The Thunderbirds 2086 I remember was
not this Super-marionation. This Techno police sounds like it is
probably what Im talking about. A big shuttle, a big rocket, a big tank
and a submarine. Were they both called TB 2086? I know the one I saw
was absoluetly Thunderbirds 2086, because I rented it not less than 4 or
5 months ago from Blockbuster.

Here's an idea--what if TB 2086 is an animated version of Thunderbirds Puppets
that took place in the future? There are parallels, for example both feature an
organization called International Rescue, and both have ships named Thunderbird
with a number. If it was anime, either the Japanese animators who created
decided to created an animated series that had some of the features of that
puppet show and improved upon them, or when it was ported to the U.S., they
decided that it should be almost treated as a sequel to that puppet show.
Either way, it's a HUGE improvement over the original puppet thunderbirds.
