SilverHawks is an American animated television series developed by Rankin/Bass Productions and distributed by Lorimar-Telepictures in 1986.
The show takes place in Limbo galaxy where a bionic policeman called Stargazer protects the varies planets in the galaxy. He finds himself in trouble as Mon*Star escapes from Penal Planet 10 and then later breaks out many other convicts that are part of his Mob. He aims to rule Limbo from Brimstar as he can from there receive Moon-stars light to transform into his stronger form.
Commander Stargazer recruited the SilverHawks, heroes who are “partly metal, partly real,” to fight the evil Mon*Star, an escaped alien mob boss who transforms into an enormous armor-plated creature with the help of Limbo’s Moonstar. 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.
Quicksilver (formerly Jonathan Quick) leads the SilverHawks, with his metal bird companion Tally-Hawk at his side. Twins Emily and Will Hart became Steelheart and Steelwill, the SilverHawks’s technician and strongman respectively. Country-singing Bluegrass piloted the team’s ship, the Maraj (pronounced “mirage” on the series, but given that spelling on the Kenner toy). 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. 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 wingx (except Bluegrass), thrusters on their elbows, and laser-weapons in their shoulders.
