![]() ![]() Overall, well done and underrated, well worth looking out for. The voice acting is fine, again like with SilverHawks Peter Newman and Earl Hammond are the most impressive. The characters are memorable and engaging, one of those cases where the heroes are more interesting than the villains,though the latter are still convincing enough.(with SilverHawks the villains were more interesting while ThunderCats was about equal). There are similarities of course to the previous two shows, namely the voice cast being practically the same for all three, but instead of being derivative I saw it as like a refreshing hybrid of both. The writing does encourage thought without preaching and doesn't feel cheesy like SilverHawks sometimes did, while the story lines are fresh, well-paced and fun. The music is great as well, the intro is very catchy and the accompanying music is fitting without being too cheesy or over-dramatic. The character designs don't always have finesse but are above serviceable overall and the colours and backgrounds are very attractive. The animation is of good quality, it is unmistakably 80s but that is not a bad thing. TigerSharks was a very well done and underrated series, unfortunately short-lived as well. By Tasha Robinson TashaRobinson Jul 9, 2021, 4:40pm EDT The 1986 animated TV series SilverHawks, a companion series to the Rankin-Bass hit ThunderCats and the later series TigerSharks, may be. ![]() I am very fond of all three of them, ThunderCats being my favourite. It just remains to be seen what the companies want to do with the reboot, and whether audiences who didn’t buy the SilverHawks toys and tune into the show back in 1986 are ready to love it now.If you love ThunderCats, SilverHawks or both(I belong in the last category), you'll also like TigerSharks. It seemed just as much an echo of Japanese series like Voltron and Space Battleship Yamato (or Star Blazers in America) as its own unique world.īut that lack of a strong and detailed setting gives Nacelle and Super7 a lot of room to work in terms of updating the series for a more modern audience - there are plenty of intriguingly drawn characters, like the non-verbal alien mime elf Copper Kidd, who could finally get more of a backstory and a world to fit into. Like so many 1980s animated fantasies, it showcases a lot of variety and imagination, and not much depth. (At least until ThunderCats’ final era, when the action moved to space.) The backdrop is an entire galaxy, where the SilverHawks face off against a wide variety of weird schemes. 2009) TigerSharks (cartoon, 1987) DC versus Marvel Comics (comic, 1996). SilverHawks always felt much more thematically chaotic, and like it took place in a far larger setting. season 2, episode 16, cartoon, 2006) Samurai Jack season 1 (cartoon. The original 1980s ThunderCats had a strong backbone in its core Egyptian theme: The villain is a mummy who lives in a pyramid, the heroes are cat-people, and the subsidiary villains are humanoid versions of animals that feature prominently in Egyptian mythology, including jackals, crocodiles, vultures, and monkeys. Much like ThunderCats, the show focused on the heroes’ found-family team dynamics and cooperation as they went up against a deep rogues’ gallery of adversaries themed around animals, robots, music, and a lot more. SilverHawks centers on a group of cyborg space cops, “partly metal, partly real,” fighting the transforming alien mob boss called Mon*Star. It could also serve to build a more compelling and fully realized world around what was initially a fairly shallow setup. Joining MonStar in his villainy is an intergalactic mob: the snakelike Yes-Man.

But just as the 2011 ThunderCats reboot elaborated on the original series’ fantasy setting and added intrigue and deeper character relationships and motivations, a modern SilverHawks reboot has a lot of potential. A bionic space enforcer called Commander Stargazer recruited the SilverHawks, heroes who are 'partly metal, partly real', to fight the evil MonStar, an escaped alien mob boss who transforms into an enormous armor-plated creature with the help of Limbo's Moonstar. ![]()
