SilverHawks (Season 1)

SilverHawks (1986) is a US animated sci-fi action series you can watch online on iFILM. Bionic space police — part human, part machine — patrol the galaxy Limbo and go up against the escaped alien crime lord Mon*Star and his ruthless gang.

Each Hawk carries a unique weapon and a bird companion. Voices by Earl Hammond, Bob McFadden, Adolph Caesar and Maggie Wheeler give the cast a sharp personality even by today's standards. The series launched in 1986 and quickly built a devoted following on both sides of the Atlantic.

Where most 80s cartoons leaned on swords and sorcery, SilverHawks went full chrome — cyborgs, laser wings and a crime boss who transforms by absorbing energy from a space whale. It is the rare kids' show where the tech actually felt futuristic rather than decorative. Stream every episode of SilverHawks online on iFILM.
