This was the worst example of formula writing I ever seen. No only were the characters carbon copies of the Thundercats, they were bad copies. The villain had the same transformation that Mum-ra did.
I remember one episode in particular. Where one of the Silverhawks was hit by a laser blast and started falling...in space!?! Where was he falling to? Exactly which way was down in space? And then one of the other Silverhawks flies to catch him. Before what, he hits a planet on the way down? Argghhh! This used to frustrate me to no end.
And to top it off they would end every episode with some thinly disguised science lesson.
Silverhawks was a lazy attempt to make a franchise off something that worked. I do believe they even tried a sea version of this but the title escapes me.
