Talk:SilverHawks

Story

The last paragraph of the "story" section seems more like someone's rant concerning the realism of cartoons then anything specifically relevant to the Silverhawks franchise and should be deleted. Obviously Wiki isn't the appropriate place for this (or any other) animated series to be singled out for a whole paragraph dedicated to pointing out it's various logistical flaws which are well within the characteristic norms of the genre. For crying out loud, it's a children's cartoon about super hero robot bird space rangers.

Overview: "25 Century?"

In the pilot episode of Silverhawks, Commander StarGazer reports to Earth that Mon*Star escaped Penal Planet 10 at 13:00 intergalactic standard time on the 40th day of the year 2839. This indicates that Silverhawks was set in the 29th century.

Seasons

I think the show lasted more than one season. I seem to recall that the show lasted long enough for them to add like a second generation of characters to the cast. Memory's a big fuzzy but they added maybe three new characters, one I seem to recall was a magician. I figure these new characters must have happened for the second season (or third) to sell more toys. Typical for cartoon shows based off toy lines. RepSchnell 23:30, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

First time I've heard of such a thing as a second season. Do you have any references to prove this point? It would be odd if true, because most syndicated shows during that time frame had usually a 65 episode season. The Toys may have been delayed during production, and it is noted that they had ended production pretty quickly. Hotwing is the magician, and he first appeared in episode "Hotwing Hits Limbo".

*coughing* RIPOFF

How come there is NO mention of this show being a COMPLETE ripoff of Battle of the Planets, right down to the youngest memeber with a speaking problem? I mean come on, 5 memebers, one of which is a girl, all with wings fighting intergalactic forces, I belive even thier ship was similar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.230.236.1 (talk) 21:02, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

If you watch the beginning of MegaZone 23 II, you will see the pinball machine being played. It has the Silverhawks logo and also the thundercats logo for a bumper. The pinball game looks like it is a Silverhawks pinball game. I was quite impressed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.7.24.84 (talk) 05:35, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Silverhawks → SilverHawks — Proper formatting. — Reisio (talk) 17:27, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't think this is an uncontroversial move, since several sources including IMDb spell the name without CamelCase. Please discuss below. Jafeluv (talk) 19:49, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

What're your several sources besides IMDb, which also formats ThunderCats incorrectly? There are only three kind of sad reference sources for this article: (1) a tiny blurb on tvshowsondvd.com, (2) the aforementioned imdb.com, and (3) tv.com, which uses both formats simultaneously. The logo...

The Copper Kid(d)

Not sure how to/ where to write about the spelling of his name. His name was spelled "Copper Kidd" in episode "One on One", as the names of the SilverHawks were listed in the scene when Stargazer deactivated Steelwill. Devilmanozzy (talk) 17:00, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Remake

Many fans have probably seen the concept drawings from the failed attempt to make a modern version (following the recent remakes of several other '80s shows), but are there any official sources for addition to the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.195.196.222 (talk) 18:09, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
