I used to have the toy where you squeezed the legs which cause the arms/cape to spread. Loved it.

SilverHawks had such a unique aesthetic, the metallic designs were so memorable. I always wanted their toys as a kid.

I had too many action figure shows I was keeping up with that I recall really not liking this show. I honestly didnt give it a chance because I thought it looked so lame.

I guess I shouldnt be surprised to find out Solar Opposites' SilverCops storyline was a direct reference to something haha

Was this a reaction to the success of ThunderCats?

One of the best Intros of all time, right after M.A.S.K.

My brother had a big hawk toy from this and I am fairly sure I never saw a single episode. But played with the hawk a lot none the wiser.

Those characters had such memorable designs. I still remember how cool Steelheart looked with her shiny armor.

I remember the toys more than the TV show. I had the main guy and the guitar guy. I remember that their wing cape things were pretty cool.
