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. Dragonstein Affiliation: Bizarrly Pirate Crew Appearances Appeared in: See Appearances Section Statistics Gender: Male Species: dragon Dragonstein is the dragon pet of Captain Bizarrly, in 1987 animated series 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. The series lasted only one season with 26 episodes and was part of The Comic. The series involved a team of heroes that could transform into sharks and other marine animals and resembled the series ThunderCats and SilverHawks, also developed by Rankin/Bass. SilverHawks always felt much more thematically chaotic, and like it took place in a far larger setting. TigerSharks is an American animated children's television series developed by Rankin/Bass and distributed by Lorimar-Telepictures in 1987.

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. When the Mantanas freed them, Captain Bizarrly decided to form a alliance with the Mantanas, as they had common foes and goals.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. This was done by the Waterians to protect the planet from the crew.

They freed the Captain Bizarrly Crew and formed a alliance to together takeover the planet.īizarrly Pirate Crew were imprisoned in ice at a cold part of the planet, Seaberia. They seek to take over the planet and make it a new base for them. The Mantanas are a group of Fishmen of some sort, that seek to take over Water-O, as the planet they had come from had dried up. The Waterians asked the visiting TigerSharks for help, which they agreed to. Waterians found themselves with two terrible factions joining together and aiming to take out the Waterians. After the Mantanas came to the planet, they released the crew. They had imprisoned the Captain Bizarrly Crew in ice a long time ago to keep the planet in peace. The Waterians are a friendly race of humanoid amphibian people. The TigerSharks agreed to stay as they needed to get the X400 off the planet as anyone that has it could do vast harm to whole planets. The Waterians in turn asked for the TigerSharks help. They found themselves in the middle of a break out of the planets criminals that had been released by yet another hostel party.

However, for being the leader of the TigerSharks, he seems to be willing to let others in the group speak and in some cases do what they think is right, trusting in their decisions. Somewhat quiet type, a bit of a stick in the mud type. From Earth, the TigerSharks came to Water-O to recover X400 explosive that had sunk to the bottom, under water. Mako is the leader of the TigerSharks, in 1987 animated series TigerSharks.
