The Ray Mecha is a type of robotic drone built and utilised by the Mechanic. They are designed for underwater operations and are typically deployed from the Mechanic's larger machines to provide support.
History[]
City Under the Sea[]
The robots were first deployed from the Mechanic's submarine to attack Kayo and Gordon who were trying to rescue a family trapped under rubble. However, Kayo, piloting Thunderbird 4, drew them away from Gordon and made short work of them.
Up from the Depths Part 1[]
The Ray mecha appeared again during the Mechanic's attempt to steal the TV-21. They were deployed from the Deep Ocean Surveyor to attack Thunderbird 4. Though they succeeded in partially crippling the submarine, Gordon destroyed them all.
Power Play[]
After realising International Rescue are on the scene, the Mechanic deploys a Ray Mecha to slow down Thunderbird 4 and Gordon's attempt to seal a growing crack in the dam wall.
Design[]
The Ray mecha, as their name implies, are modelled after Manta Rays and are constructed specifically for underwater operations. They are slightly bigger than an adult human and boast a predominantly red and black colour scheme.
Capabilities[]
The Ray mecha can swim through thick water with great speed and agility. They also come equipped with an electrified appendage at the end of their tail similar to a taser. This weapon can disable a submarine's systems and controls by short-circuiting them. However, their strength is in their numbers. Otherwise they are rather fragile machines, Gordon managing to blow one up by ramming Thunderbird 4's mechanical arm into it.
