[edit] Really based on Thunderbirds?

According to the Trivia for Thunderbirds 2086 at Anime News Network[1] only the dub is related to Thunderbirds and the original version, Techno Voyager, has nothing to do with Thunderbirds at all. Can anyone confirm or debunk this? --GracieLizzie 23:05, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm by no means an authority on this, but according to [2] the show was based on the original series. This is supported by the fact that the animated Thunderbirds vehicles all have a "TB" logo on them, and some of the vehicles are clearly based on those from the original series, as is the overall premise of the series - [3]. Gerry Anderson and the team behind the original Thunderbirds certainly had nothing to do with the animated series, so it isn't seen as an official continuation of the original story.

TB is really the Japanese error. It should really read TV on all craft. The Japanese do not have a 'V' sound so substitue a 'B' instead.
