One of the most underrated cartoons I know of. Hanna Barbera apparently cancelled the series to focus on other projects. Simply one of their worst decisions. It barely lasted more than 1 year before fitting the dust. It reminds me of the Virtual Boy, only that SWAT Kats was great.
This one is definitely an intense animated show in comparison to others nowadays. One being the heroes are capable of building not only a custom model plane but also military grade missiles from a junk yard, and (although they didn't show it) involved the concept of death.
Damn straight. I recorded most of the episodes from season 1& 2. Such a hardcore cartoon for its day. Too bad I can't say the same thing about the other cartoons out there now.
Used to watch this series as a kid...I think we all did. This show an a dozen or so others, faced the wrath of Turner and despite having high ratings. It was canceled, because it was deemed too violent for kids.
Back in 2011, when I learned the show was coming to dvd, I shat my pants hard enough to ruin my entire wardrobe. I bought my copy as soon as it became available, and have been reliving childhood memories ever since.
@Xthunder235 I agree. Plus, one of the animators of this cartoon is now a big shot with his own cartoon creations featuring fairies, ghosts, and one "tuff" puppy.
I personally like the season 2 intro. When they went into season 2 everything got better. They made everything darker. Personally, I'm more of a heavy metal intro guy.
Now THIS is a cartoon.
The second theme is far superior to the first one.
anyday!👍
Agreed

Missing childhood memories 😢
God this series was epic. I really wish they woulda given us a couple more seasons...
I miss the guitar riffs from the 90's shows.
They have possibly one of the most brilliant villains from a kid's show....

Thank Ted Turner and his love affair with Captain Planet for why this got cancelled.

In a world saved by various animal teams, one decided to be more "radical" than the rest! Gone but never forgotten.

The highest definition season 2 intro I have seen. Very well done!

Actually, many episodes from Season 2 had this animation, it was godly.
HANNA-BARBERA'S SWAT KATS THE RADICAL SQUADRON 30TH ANNIVERSARY 1993-2023!
LET'S KICK SOME TAIL!
I have it on dvd
i miss this show
If this opening theme doesn't make your balls grow, nothing will.
How much horsepower does the radical squadron's black and red jet have exactly?
Does anyone know if Dr. Viper was voiced by Frank Welker the voice of Megatron from the first Transformers series and Transformers Prime?
Hi,
I keep rewinding to hear the music. 🙄😆

you have 1 min to listen to a song on youtube to get you turned on ...

Mordecai and Rigby,Finn and Jake,Steven and the Crystal Gems wished they were this......................RADICAL
+journeymanX
Any modern cartoon is absolute crap compared to this piece of awesomeness.
I just watched season 1 intro my dvd, ;)

The animation from 30 years ago still holds up...

The funds for the Kick-starter took off faster than the speed of heat.

The season 1 intro is better
I personally like the season 2 intro. When they went into season 2 everything got better. They made everything darker. Personally, I'm more of a heavy metal intro guy.
So unintentionally furry :3
I remember this show as one of the things that got me into the fandom
