Like Anderson's previous puppet series, futuristic vehicles and technology featured prominently in each episode. Main article: The series is set in the year 2020, after an alien force has destroyed 's base and is under threat. A small organisation, The Terrahawks, is set up to defend the planet. From Hawknest, their secret base in, they develop sophisticated weapons to prepare for the battles to come. Terrahawks was less straight-faced than any of Anderson's previous series, featuring a wry, tongue-in-cheek humour as well as dramatic jeopardy. The ensemble cast, with each member assigned a vehicle, had many similarities with Anderson's, whilst the alien invasion plot was reminiscent of and the live action. This section is incomplete.

(May 2016) Prior to Terrahawks and throughout the entirety of the 1960s, Anderson's series were noted for their use of his patented technique, which made use of electronically augmented (the final series to use this technique was the /Supermarionation hybrid in 1969; Anderson switched to live action production beginning with 1970's ). In contrast, producers of Terrahawks made use of -style hand puppets to animate the characters, in a process Anderson dubbed. This was partly dictated by the relatively low budget (latex hand puppets being much cheaper to produce than the sculpted wooden marionettes of previous series), but the absence of strings allowed for much smoother movement, and could be used to more easily produce the illusion of the puppets walking. The necessarily static puppets of previous series had been a source of frustration to Anderson during his Supermarionation days. Production [ ] The series' most prolific contributor,, constantly used tongue-in-cheek aliases whenever he wrote a different episode, calling himself, for instance, 'Anne Teakstein,' and 'Felix Catstein.' (He was not alone in this; wrote the episodes 'From Here To Infinity' and 'The Sporilla' under the names 'Katz Stein' and 'Leo Pardstein' respectively.) The only episodes of the series not credited to pseudonyms ending in '-stein' are 'The Midas Touch,' scripted by Trevor Lansdowne and Tony Barwick, the latter billed under his real name for the only time on the series, and the two-part opener 'Expect The Unexpected,' written by Gerry Anderson. A fourth season would have developed the characters of Stew Dapples ('Stewed Apples') and Kate Kestrel further.

This was explained in a documentary on the special features disc of the series, in the Gerry Anderson book 'Supermarionation' and the Terrahawks DVDs. Two of the scripts were called '101 Seed' (a parody of the title 'Number One Seed'), written by Anderson himself (as 'Gerry Anderstein'), and 'Attempted MOIDer' by Tony Barwick (alias in this case D.I. In the UK, six specially-prepared compilations of Terrahawks were released on, covering 24 out of 26 episodes from the first season.

The first tape contained a few scenes in the premiere episode that had been edited out of the broadcast master due to time constraints (those scenes are not on DVD). The final volume, entitled 'Zero Strikes Back' had a smaller print run than the rest of the tapes, and was quite a collectors' item, with copies generally going for around £100 on until the series began to be released on DVD. The series is available on in the United Kingdom and North America.

A Blu Ray release of the first series is to be released in June 2016. Unlike virtually all of Gerry Anderson's other puppet-based series, Terrahawks was not produced. Drivers Ati Radeon 9100.

This meant that after Terrahawks repeats disappeared from UK airwaves in the late 1980s and the six compilation video tapes went out of production, the series was noticeably hard to find compared to Anderson's other series, most of which received a renaissance throughout the 1990s. Title sequence and end credits [ ] The opening and closing sequences were created using hand-drawn to imitate. The opening title sequence begins with a video game playing on a screen when Doctor 'Tiger' Ninestein appears and says: 'Terrahawks! Stay on this channel! This is an emergency!' The end credits, the Zeroid and Cube robots would often 'play' () with each other, resulting in a different winner each week (the Cubes usually had to cheat and steal a Zeroid's position in order to win). The exception to this was the episode 'A Christmas Miracle', which featured the song 'I Believe in Christmas' as sung by Kate Kestrel played over a still of a Zeroid.
