There can be two pods – one forward and one aft (connecting both sides of the aft pods). The can be just one pod – forward and aft pods are all connected together. And there's the rescue platform V1/V2 – winch platform and bay door pod in forward position and either V1 (two separate rear pods) or V2 (one large rear joined pod). Once the desired pods and configuration have been chosen and punched into the computer, a system of automated robotic cranes lifts them onto the flat transporter in front of Thunderbird 2. The transporter then slides backwards under the craft and Thunderbird 2 settles down over the pods and transporter, ready to be wheeled out to its launch ramp.[[/note]] The landing struts were also given a makeover, as the production team felt the original's struts were too flimsy for such a vehicle.
