The SilverHawks in the show's title sequence. Their bionic bodies are covered by a full-body close-fitting metal armor that only exposes the face and an arm, the armor is equipped with a retractile protective mask, retractable under-arm wings (except Bluegrass), thrusters on their heels, and laser-weapons in their shoulders. Rounding out the group is a youngster "from the planet of the mimes", named "The Copper Kidd" and usually called "Kidd" for short, a mathematical genius who spoke in whistles and computerized tones. Country-singing Bluegrass piloted the team's ship, the Maraj (pronounced " mirage" on the series, but given that spelling on the Kenner toy). Twins Emily and Will Hart became Steelheart and Steelwill, the SilverHawks's technician and strongman respectively. Quicksilver (formerly Jonathan Quick) leads the SilverHawks, with his metal bird companion Tally-Hawk at his side. Joining Mon*Star in his villainy is an intergalactic mob: the snakelike Yes-Man, the blade-armed Buzz-Saw, the "bull"-headed Mumbo-Jumbo, a weather controller called Windhammer, a shapeshifter known as Mo-Lec-U-Lar, a robotic card shark called Poker-Face, the weapons-heavy Hardware, and "the musical madness of" Melodia who uses a " keytar" that fires musical notes.

Its more playful animation style and light-hearted tone, in keeping with the zany zeitgeist of Adventure Time and Gravity Falls, sparked the social-media hashtag “#ThunderCatsNo,” a riff on the rallying cry of ThunderCats, ho! in the show theme.

This apparently prompted Carton Newtork to reboot the show in 2011 in an anime style, shortly cancelled in 2012 due to poor ratings. The feline do-gooders always bested Mumm-Ra episode after episode, which predictably closed with a moral lesson about teamwork and virtue.Īfter ending, the show enjoyed considerable popularity in the 2000s when Cartoon Network aired reruns.
