In the far-flung future, the Galaxy of Limbo is in dire need of some heroes. Terrorized by the ruthless villain Mon-Star and his intergalactic horde, the only hope against this tyranny are the partly metal, partly real cybernetically enhanced super-team…the SilverHawks. Led by the daring Quicksilver, the SilverHawks use their amazingly enhanced bodies, their razor sharp wits, and a steely resolve to battle Mon-Star and the forces of evil across the galaxy.

  According to tvshowsondvd.com it looks like Warner Home Video is "strongly considering" a Silverhawks dvd release in the not so distant future. In their 2007 Online Chat with Home Theater Forum they discussed the possibility of this release along with a number of other projects on their slate for '08. And tvshowsondvd has learned from their sources that a Mid to Late '0 8 is being eyed as a possible timeframe. This may still be just a rumor, but at least its from a reliable source. I think we can all agree this is really awesome news :) http://www.tvshowsondvd.com/news/Silverhawks-Rumors/8341 http://www.hometheaterforum.com/chat/wbtv07.txt less «

  8.5 Great

  Parts of this show are great, other parts are awful but you learn to love them too. From the eighties school of "makes no sense" Silverhawks! A good show, with a good heart and some painful hallmarks of the era that made it. hide « show »

  First of all, do not question the science. Or lack of, if you prefer. Half the charm of this show is the blissful ignorance of science in its many forms.
  
  Once you've done that, Silverhawks is very easy to enjoy. It's a charming, well-meaning little show that tries to convey a nice messages to kids about duty, morals and those kind of things. The stories revolve around a group of "partly metal, partly real" humans that are sent out into the galaxy to help fight a mixed bag of weird criminals (Batman has nothing on these guys in that department).
  
  The quality varies but the charm usually wins through.

  Now it is turn for birds to save the universe. hide « show »

  Although this show is well done and I enjoyed it very much when I was just a kid, now I find it so unoriginal. The premise is the same as most cartoons those days; a specific group of animals with super powers (Silverhawks where not actually birds but their special suits were designed based on hawks) fights the evil forces of the universe. Haven't we seen this before? Remember the Thundercats, Transformers, The Rex troop, etc. The only Silverhawk I really like, is the cowboy. His favorite weapon is the laser/guitar and he is always carrying it around. Another nice touch is the spacechips on which the bad guys ride , they resemble the cars from the 20s and 30.

  The SilverHawks are Quicksilver, Steelheart, Steelwill, the Copper Kid, and Bluegrass. "Partly metal, partly real," they protect the Limbo galaxy from the villainous Mob, headed by the towering Monstar. hide « show »

  This was one of the better Saturday morning cartoons of the mid-1980s. Action is always exciting. Some of the episodes are actually very well-written with unique, fun ideas.
  
  Besides looking really cool, the SilverHawks have neat toys and a neat ship, the Mirage. Every villain is an interesting character, and they are the most interesting part of the show. Melodia, a villain that could only exist in the 80s, had wild punk hair and fought the SilverHawks with her keyboard gun. Molecular could change shape. Timestopper could stop time "for one Limbo minute." Windhammer had a tuning fork that could control the weather. The places in Limbo were all interesting and created a believable universe for the show.
  
  The show's weakest point is character development. The characters never change. The good are good and the bad are bad, simply for the sake of being bad. Also, very little is known about the SilverHawks themselves. They are merely heroes in space. They rarely emote and little is known about their past on Earth or, for the Copper Kid, the Planet of the Mimes.
  
  Also, one thing that always bothered me is that the show ignored the fact that there is no gravity in deep space. If a character were blown from a ship or an asteroid, he or she would fall straight down.
  
  Typical for an 80s cartoon, the show always ended with a short, educational bit, where Bluegrass quizzed the Copper Kid about facts of the universe.

  A really cool show. hide « show »

  This is perhaps one of the best animated shows ever made. It's so original and the premise is so outstanding. This action adventure driven animation has a compelling plotline and an exciting pace. Each episode features the silverhawks battling the evil mon star and his band of criminals. It's sort of cowboys and indians in outer space. It's an exciting show to watch, it never bores you. It's an exciting show to get caught up with. You don't have to think with the plot that much, you just sit back and relax and let the action unravel itself right in front of you.

  One of the best cartoons ever! hide « show »

  SilverHawks was truly underappreciated as it only lasted for one season. It was full of imagination and life and sparked the imagination of children everywhere. It was one of the few cartoons I remember which influenced me enough that I would pretend I was a SilverHawk. Nothing seemed more cool than being able to put your hand down over your face and suddenly have a mask or raise it again, or to put your hands to your side and bring them up and have wings where you can fly.
  
  It was a classic 80's cartoon with great animation where the good eyes fought against evil foes. It also had quite possibly THE best theme song ever. They need to bring this cartoon back. We need it on DVD!
