SilverHawks

Show Summary

Aired: 1986 - 1986
Show Type: Animated
Country of Origin: US

Silverhawks, essentially, is a 1940's Chicago cop show set in outter space.
The evil criminal Mon*star and his gang of thugs has escaped from prison, and must be stopped. Unfortunately, he's on the other side of the galaxy, and no human could survive the journey to get there.
So, a team of heroes volunteer to be transformed into cyborgs, partly metal, partly real, that can withstand the rigors of the journey. Once there, they set up headquarters and police the sector. Voiced by many of the same voice actors of Thundercats, it featured some of the most interesting character designs of the decade.

I remember the show growing up and Cartoon Network replayed it again around 1997 I wish they would put the series on DVD if they havent already. This show was basically Thundercats with wings The Villans were even similar Mon star transformed in a similar manner that Mum-Ra did. It was still a great show. I agree that toys today are not near as good as they were in the 80's I think this is becaeuse there are not any good series to back a toyline. If you go to a toy store these days all the good toys are remakes of old ones examples Star Wars Power of the Force the new Heman Series released in 2002. Voltron also had a remake in the late 90's Nothing is original any more. Just about every successful toy has had a remake It wouldn't suprise me if we saw a remake of MASK in the future

I still have my giant Tally Hawk sitting up on my shelf above me and he still has all his missiles. I loved this show.

Yeah... I remember this cartoon kicking ass as a child, much like Thunder Cats but they both in all honesty suck balls... I know this may seem blasphemous but I can still watch Transformers without getting sick to stomach. Booo!
