SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron (or simply SWAT Kats) was one of the darkest and edgiest animated shows to come out of Hanna-Barbera at the peak of The Renaissance Age of Animation.The cartoon was created by Christian and Yvon Tremblay, two brothers from Montreal. It ran on TBS and in syndication from 1993 to 1995, alongside 2 Stupid Dogs, and it also occasionally airs on Cartoon Network's sister network Boomerang. There were a total of 23 original half-hours (with 2 of them having 2 segments) over two seasons, with one special Clip Show episode capping the series off. The story takes place in "Megakat City", which is inhabited by Anthromorphic Kats, and chronicles the adventures of two Badass Normal Superhero best friends who fight super-crime under secret identities.Chance "T-Bone" Furlong and Jake "Razor" Clawson were once two humble officers of the Enforcers, teaming up as the pilot and Radar Intercept Officer of a fighter jet in the Enforcers' Air Force Squadron. Until they accidentally destroyed their command headquarters and caused sizeable amounts of damage while in pursuit of a criminal. Their former superior, Commander Ulysses Feral, stuck them in long-term community service in a military junkyard until Chance and Jake managed to pay off their debt... which, considering their salaries, was likely to be never (also, never mind that the incident was Feral's fault in the first place).Working at the salvage yard, Jake and Chance realize that people — including the Enforcers — throw a lot of perfectly useable stuff away. Using their mechanic skills, they put discarded military equipment and weapons to their own personal use, building a high-tech fighter-jet named the TurboKat (which bears a striking resemblance to the U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcat, except with three engines and VTOL capabilities). This way, they get back in the air and fight the numerous villains that are plaguing the city. Complete with new uniforms, masks, cool gadgets, codenames, an Elaborate Underground Base, and occasional help from allies (like Deputy Mayor Callie Briggs and Feral's niece Felina), they kick super-villain tail and generally do it with style.The Rogues Gallery includes, but is not limited to: the possibly supernatural criminal mastermind Dark Kat, the undead chronomancer Pastmaster, mutated sociopathic Kat-turned-snake Doctor Viper, and married robotic gangsters Mac and Molly Mange (better known as the Metallikats).Episodes of the show followed a one-shot format, featuring completely self-contained stories and certain overarching themes and villains. The Status Quo, however, does change every now and then, and only very few of the bad guys get Joker Immunity. On occasion, if the bad guy pushes them too far, our heroes will shoot to kill.The series' attempts at bigger action came too soon for many people, and the series took criticism for its violent content. Despite a successful first season resulting in a huge Animation Bump with a Darker and Edgier visual style (sometimes accompanied by an inconsistent Animesque Art Shift, depending on who animated which episode), the show was cancelled close to the end of its second season with the final three episodes left unfinished. The show has a very strong cult following that continues to this day, and DVDs are available from the Warner Archive program.Although the series was short-lived, it got an official game on the SNES in August 1995.On July 23, 2015, the Tremblays began a Kickstarter campaign to help fund a Sequel Series called SWAT Kats: Revolution. Their initial goal was $50,000. When the campaign ended a month later, they'd collected $141,500 in pledges from 2,014 backers, which meant that we should've seen at least a two-minute teaser (among other materials) for the new show. In 2022, after nearly five years of Development Hell, the series reboot has been picked up by India-based Toonz Media Group (India being one of the countries with the biggest fanbase for the show).

comment
Dirty Coward: Lt. Steel, especially in "The Wrath of Dark Kat". Despite making it plain he wants to be commander of the Enforcers and even betraying Feral to get it, when actually put in the thick of the action, he chickens out and hides. He won't even save his own hide by shooting back! Mayor Manx, who often lacks even moral courage, as he is quick to try and offer deals to the villains if it'll spare him/make his life easier. And somewhat more nefariously, in "The Giant Bacteria", when he and Callie are being chased, he shoves her off of a rescue ladder so he can climb up ahead of her. Randall the photographer in "The Deadly Pyramid" isn't just Too Dumb to Live, rushing headlong into the pyramid to try and get a picture of the Pastmaster, but when chased out by the giant mummies, he steals the only Jeep and drives off, abandoning Dr. Sinian and her assistant Henson.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: David Litterbin, the Talk Show host from "Enter the Madkat", is obviously based on David Letterman. The storyboards also suggest there's a little bit of Garry Shandling in him as well. In the unfinished episode "Succubus!", Katrina Moorkroft's creepy chauffeur Otto is described as resembling Erich von Stroheim. The storyboards for "Enter the Madkat" describes Katzmer the antique store owner as being based off of Keye Luke in '"Gremlins'' The script for "Chaos in Crystal" says Warden Meece and Dr. Greenbox are based off of M. Emmet Walsh and Woody Harrelson, respectively.

Abnormal Ammo
 SWAT Kats / int_12c65d9b
comment
Abnormal Ammo: 99.9% of the weapons carried on the TurboKat, sometimes referred to as Missile of the Week. In fact, the TurboKat rarely ever uses normal missiles; there's even a button on Razor's control panel marked "Plain Old Missile". This actually became a plot point in "Razor's Edge", where Razor believes he blew up a warehouse and injured two innocent bystanders. The first indication that the whole thing is a set-up is that the missiles were non lethal, yet the warehouse clearly blew up. Here's a list of all the different missiles and such used by the TurboKat over the course of the series.

Bloodless Carnage: Even though characters get beaten to hell and back all the time, there's practically never any blood. On the plus side, there are explosions that blow up entire characters, though. One of the few times we see blood is when T-Bone gets bit by a mutant leech.

comment
Darker and Edgier: The show was more violent than most action cartoons of the era. "The Giant Bacteria" has the highest number of on-screen deaths in a single episode (see Bus Full of Innocents above). This also marks the beginning of T-Bone & Razor's "Kill if everything else fails" policy. Quite a punch, consider this was the show's first completed episode (it was second in broadcast order).

Gratuitous Laboratory Flasks
 SWAT Kats / int_16d14f03
comment
Gratuitous Laboratory Flasks: Seen both in Dr. Viper's Mad Scientist Laboratory in the swamp, and in Megakat Biochemical Labs. Professor Hackle also has chemistry equipment for some reason, despite never actually needing it since he is a robotics expert and not a chemist or biologist. Dr. Viper's laboratory in "The Giant Bacteria," is pretty impressive to behold, featuring retorts, racks of test tubes, flasks, beakers and even a microscope that for some reason has smoke pouring out of the eyepiece (!). Besides this, bottles and flasks are stuffed into boxes and cubby holes everywhere in the background. Interestingly, production notes called for even more chemistry equipment to be seen, but for some reason the animators didn't get the message. Professor Hackle's lab is especially egregious. Although a little more toned down than Viper's, he nevertheless has a table on which can be seen a retort and several flasks and test tubes. One problem. Hackle is a machinist/roboticist, so what he needs chemistry equipment for is anyone's guess. They're just there to inform us he's, like, a scientist and such, even though the operating tables and Kenneth Strickfadden-esque machinery filling the rest of the room do the job just fine on their own. The Pastmaster has some of this kind of stuff on a table in his tower in "Bride of the Pastmaster," but he never does anything with it, instead using a big cauldron in the middle of the room. Megakat Biochemical Labs as seen in "Katastrophe" has shelves and shelves of "katalysts" in identical stoppered flasks with numbered labels. In all its other appearances, it's more toned down.

Simple Solution Won't Work
 SWAT Kats / int_16dda55f
comment
Simple Solution Won't Work: In "A Bright and Shiny Future", the SWAT Kats are transported to a Bad Future ruled by the Metallikats. Meeting up with the few remaining resistance members (made up of the supporting cast), the SWAT Kats suggest seizing control of the Central Robot Control Matrix, which is what the Metallikats use to control their robot followers. Commander Feral retorts the Enforcers already tried that, and he and his niece Felina were the only survivors (and the SWAT Kats' own future counterparts also perished during the battle). With no other options, they try anyway.

All There in the Manual
 SWAT Kats / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: Promotional material made it clear that Dark Kat was actually a judge in Megakat City, who used his position to help protect his criminal side job. This was never explored in the series. For that matter it was never even mentioned. The only real connection this has to be found is that his coat does look like a judge's robe. Very little was known about Dark Kat at all save for his status as a criminal mastermind, and his penchant for using odd, demonic looking hench-things he called Creeplings.

Shoot the Television: In "The Giant Bacteria", when Feral blames the SWAT Kats for Morbulus escaping custody, Chance got mad and threw his can of milk at the television. Jake wasn't impressed. He does it again in "SWAT Kats Unplugged", where he sprays the TV with paint to not have to see Feral's face anymore. An exasperated Jake asks him from now on, just turn it off.

 SWAT Kats / int_1daa7fce
comment
In the Back: "Katastrophe" has three different ones: Dark Kat always planned to screw over everybody, so Viper anticipated that and decided to screw him first, and he recruited the Metallikats to screw Dark Kat with him. Also averted, in the sense that Dark Kat thought he could force the Metallikats to do his dirty work for him and screw Viper first. Please do not take any of these statements literally. If you do, considering we're talking about robots and mutated monsters, keep a bottle of Brain Bleach handy. Thank you for visiting TV Tropes. Have a nice day.

Stealth Pun
 SWAT Kats / int_1e7c47ab
comment
Stealth Pun: The TurboKat has a variable-sweep wing design. The most well-known plane in Real Life with such a design is the F-14 Tomcat. Though it may not exactly be a pun as a Shout-Out, as the TurboKat shares a LOT with the F-14 besides the wings. In fact, the only real differences are the additional engine, the ability to hover, a (ludicrously massive) internal bay, and to a lesser extent, the paint job. Razor's station in the back seat actually looks like a real-life Tomcat RIO console.

Tanks for Nothing
 SWAT Kats / int_20e0d3e8
comment
Tanks for Nothing: The only purpose the Enforcer tanks serve is getting stomped by the Monster of the Week so the heroes can save the day. According to model sheets, they're called Peacekeepers, and rather bizarrely seem to lack turrets (despite appearing to possess them, they never rotate even once). Instead, their main armament seems to consist of two dual forward-mounted laser cannons that can tilt up and down but not side to side, meaning the Peacekeeper can only fire in whatever direction the front end is currently facing. There have actually been a few tanks like this in real life, most notably Sweden's Stridsvagn 103 S-Tanks. They were designed in that manner so that they'd be very low profile, and thus blend into the environment and defensive barricades better. Their tracks could rotate rapidly in alternate directions in order to make the tank turn quickly in the event it needed to. Unfortunately for the Enforcers, the Peacekeeper seems to lack both of those qualities. In "Metal Urgency," Puma-Dyne designs an experimental tank for them called the Behemoth. It seems impressive, since it is protected by a force field and (for whatever reason) all of its armaments are said to be thought-controlled. But after being stolen by Hard Drive, it's taken on a rampage so brief it never even leaves the facility where it had just been built before the SWAT Kats manage to take it out by frying its electrical systems, which results in the thought controls becoming disabled. And apparently there is no backup conventional control for it because once Hard Drive loses the ability to operate it with his mind, the million dollar prototype promptly drives itself into a wall and crashes uselessly.

Not a tactic in and of itself, but the Peacekeeper (the Enforcers' primary type of tank) is a poorly designed vehicle that has guns capable of pivoting up and down, but not, apparently, from side to side.

Aborted Arc: The first episode implied a bit of a Love Triangle with Chance crushing on Callie who was implied to have a thing for Jake who didn't seem to notice. This was never brought up again, as the SWAT Kats acted professionally with Callie both in and out of uniform. This invoked would've been brought up again in "Succubus!"; the script has Callie taking Jake to the opera, while T-Bone and Felina (who were developing a relationship, as seen in "Razor's Edge") try to stop the titular monster together. However, the episode was never finished due to the series being canceled.

Reused Character Design
 SWAT Kats / int_277686f2
comment
Reused Character Design: The Enforcer commandos and pilots are all identical, likely a cost-cutting measure considering how many have to appear and be animated every episode. Except for them this is generally avoided except for a few annoying instances: Similarly, except for Smitty and the unnamed guy who appears in "Enter the Madkat" and "Katastrophe" (called "Sergeant #2" in the storyboards) all Enforcer sergeants use the same character design as Sgt. Talon. This makes it difficult to tell if the sergeant in question is intended to be Talon or not unless he speaks. In "The Wrath of Dark Kat," all the power plant guards except the two at the front gate are the same character design recycled about twenty or thirty times. It's especially obvious in closeups of them standing in a line. In "The Metallikats," the mobsters who are with Katscratch and Fango are all literally identical. They have the same fur color and they're all wearing identical gray business suits and fedoras. The only thing different about them are their voices. In "The Ghost Pilot," Charlie the museum guard is just the guard from "The Pastmaster Always Rings Twice" with a different-colored uniform. In "The Dark Side of the SWAT Kats," one of the Puma-Dyne guards is just an Enforcer commando with a Palette Swap and the Puma-Dyne logo on his armor instead of the Enforcer one.

Uncertain Doom
 SWAT Kats / int_2854b56d
comment
Uncertain Doom: While some death scenes (particularly Katscratch, Warden Meece and Mutilor) are pretty blatant, and even a few that happen offscreen are confirmed in dialogue later (the guards in "Katastrophe"), quite a few aren't entirely clear: The museum guard in "The Pastmaster Always Rings Twice." Backing away from the sabertoothed tiger, he bumps into a dinosaur skeleton and brings the entire thing crashing down on top of him. He's never mentioned again, even when Callie and Dr. Sinian examine the bone pile before being attacked by the sabertoothed tiger themselves. Dr. Zyme in "The Giant Bacteria." We see the bacteria monster's hand reach for him and begin to descend over him, but then it cuts away, and it even shows the monster seemingly being distracted from killing him by Feral's chopper, implying he could've slipped away. His death is never confirmed in the episode. The partially mutated Dr. Street gets launched out a window on the top floor of a 300-story skyscraper in "The Ci-Kat-A." Despite possessing wings, he just plummets screaming to presumably make his name literal 300 stories below and is never mentioned again. He was scheduled to return in one of the unfinished episodes, "Doctors of Doom", however. He unambiguously dies in that, though. The homeless guy who encounters a tentacle monster in "Mutation City." He screams and it cuts away. Cybertron in "The Deadly Pyramid." The poor little guy takes a ton of punishment before finally being so badly damaged he can't even move. He's a robot, so he can potentially be rebuilt, but the episode ends with Professor Hackle acting like it'll be extremely difficult, and it never confirms whether he'll be okay or not. Like Street, however, he was slated to return. In "Turmoil 2: The Revenge," he's rebuilt and helps the SWAT Kats. And even survives at the end! Conklin in "Caverns of Horror." The giant scorpion explodes through the ground underneath him and he's flung screaming into the air and right out of the episode, apparently, as he's never seen or mentioned again. This is strange considering that right before this occurs, he was about to be arrested for causing the whole thing, but the episode just forgets about him after he's sent flying offscreen. The title villains in "The Dark Side of the SWAT Kats." Were they killed by the mega-detonator, or did it just transport them into another alternate dimension? In the unfinished episode "Turmoil 2: The Revenge," Turmoil is swept off a cliff to her apparent Disney Villain Death by an avalanche. However there are many ways she could've survived including a jetpack or parachute hidden under her Badass Cape, or she could've had her fall broken halfway down by a ledge (as Cybertron does when he falls off a cliff earlier in the script).

Non-Indicative Name: Dr. Greenbox. Originally, he was to be a botanist, in which capacity his surname would make sense; his field of expertise was later changed to "generic tinkerer" who works with machines, rendering his pun-tastic surname meaningless.

Animal Facial Hair
 SWAT Kats / int_32834f
comment
Animal Facial Hair: Mayor Manx has white muttonchops. Commander Feral has what appear to be waxed whiskers styled like a mustache. Professor Hackle has the "muzzle beard" kind, wrapping around to encompass his jawline and cheek fur, and is colored white like his hair (his actual fur is kind of grayish tan). Katscratch in "The Metallikats" has the "waxed whiskers" style similar to Feral. Dr. Konway in "Mutation City" has very scruffy fur along his jawline suggestive of a beard, but no actual separate facial hair. Tiger Conklin in "Caverns of Horror" has black stripes along his jawline suggesting a beard (his actual hair is red). Beards: Morbulus in "The Giant Bacteria" has a neatly-trimmed reddish brown beard and the blacksmith in "Bride of the Pastmaster" has a bushy, grayish black beard. Mustaches: Warden Meece in "Chaos in Crystal," the MASA reactor guard who is first to get turned in "The Ci-Kat-A," the Megakat Super Conductors guard in "Razor's Edge," the jumbo jet pilot in "Cry Turmoil," the islander in "Volcanus Erupts!" and Emil in "The Origin of Dr. Viper." In the storyboards for "Enter the Madkat," the Enforcer sergeant in that episode (identified as "Sergeant #2") is just the main sergeant, Sergeant Talon, with a neatly-trimmed pencil-thin mustache; in the finished episode, he is given a character design completely different from Talon's and has no mustache.

G-Rated Drug: "The Metallikats" starts with a band of mobsters smuggling, you guessed it, catnip. When Chance and Jake throw themselves down the couch to get some testosterone-filled entertainment, they bring out a six-pack of... not beer, but condensed milk. Turmoil also breaks out the milk (and wineglasses) to share a toast with T-Bone. In "Bride of the Pastmaster", Queen Callista has Tabor bring goblets of milk for her dinner with Razor.

Destructive Savior: Commander Feral often accuses the SWAT Kats of being this, and he isn't entirely wrong, as they do often tend to cause as much destruction as their enemies, sometimes by accident, sometimes by intentionally destroying something to stop the villain(s). They're very much "ends justify the means" heroes. Dark Kat uses this against them in "Razor's Edge" and frames them for accidentally hurting an elderly couple in an effort to turn the public against them and make them lose their confidence. He's almost successful.

Alien Sky: In most episodes, the sky during the daytime is green. It's also been yellow several times, red at least twice, and is more purple than black at night. One of the only times it was ever actually blue was in "Chaos in Crystal", because Shard was green and would've likely blended into the usual green sky too much.

The Guards Must Be Crazy
 SWAT Kats / int_4508b16b
comment
The Guards Must Be Crazy: A few examples, most notably in "The Origin of Dr. Viper." Elderly security guard Emil reads comics while on duty and sleeps at his station. His inattentive behavior allows Dr. Viper to basically walk right in under his nose without him realizing it. He hears a door slam, but, rather than go and investigate, he dismisses it as his imagination running away with him. Bizarrely, although one would think such an oblivious old coot working at Megakat Biochemical was meant to be a sign of the innocent, pre-Viper days (the omnipresent artillery cannons notwithstanding), the outline for the unfinished episode "The Doctors of Doom" reveals he still has his job and is still constantly reading comics on duty.

Gory Discretion Shot: In "The Ci-Kat-A", a Giant Bug gets knocked off the TurboKat and is seen plummeting towards the rotorblade on an Enforcer chopper; the camera then cuts back to the other one that's still hanging onto the cool jet.) In "Chaos in Crystal", Rex Shard turns various people and objects into crystal, including a corrupt prison warden who falls over and shatters. At the end of the episode, everything that's been crystallized is shown turning back to normal—except the warden, whose ultimate fate is never explicitly revealed. Shadow Discretion Shot from "The Giant Bacteria", which shows the titular bacteria eating a cow and its owner in shadow. Apparently even showing the scene in shadow was too much; the farmer's demise was cut from the episode's broadcasts (but put back in for the DVD).

I Never Said It Was Poison: The elderly kats Razor accidentally injures in "Razor's Edge" are doing a good job of layering on the guilt and tearing his self-esteem apart when they taunt "You'd never be able to stop Dark Kat." No one up until this point knows that Dark Kat is behind the episode's attacks. This clues Razor in that the two kats are neither injured nor elderly, and the event was not an accident.

Also, throughout season 1 the Enforcers' and criminals' weapons sometimes seemed to fire bullets, but with red streaks trailing the bullets as they were fired, and laser noises accompanied these; this tended to happen when the plot called for bullets in some fashion, so presumably this was some sort of compromise (though lasers won out by season 2).

Acoustic License: Used quite a bit. Sometimes they would avert it, by having aircraft-to-aircraft conversations take place via radio or video comms channels, but oftentimes people would just say things, and the SWAT Kats would be able to somehow hear them inside their active supersonic jet. Really, the noise from the Turbokat was just severely played down or outright eliminated in a lot of circumstances, otherwise talking and sound effects would just be blared out by engine noise.

Police Are Useless: Back-and-forth. The Enforcers are a fairly effective police force formed to fight super-terrorists such as Dark Kat. They do a damn fine job in "The Pastmaster Always Rings Twice". Without the SWAT Kats' plane and gear and only conventional gas grenades and a convenient tar pit, they took out a frigging tyrannosaur and were just this side of getting the Pastmaster on their own. But it seems that the show takes place during their "fall from glory." The quality of their equipment is falling - the TurboKat is built out of the Enforcers' garbage but easily outperforms their current gear - and its leadership is in decline, with Feral being pigheaded and only sometimes competent, and Lt. Commander Steele being a complete idiot and a traitor. As a result, the Enforcers Can't Catch Up to two hardcore badasses and the enemies that show up to challenge them.

Batman Can Breathe in Space
 SWAT Kats / int_5ed3ace2
comment
Batman Can Breathe in Space: Averted for the most part. When the TurboKat heads out into space – or when the heroes are engaged in some high-altitude dogfighting – the SWAT Kats are show wearing oxygen masks. Except when they’re not. Presumably the TurboKat cockpit has some level of artificial atmosphere but since the masks have a tendency to appear and disappear between shots, especially in the first few episodes, it’s hard to tell.

High on Catnip: One episode opens with a gang of mobsters smuggling, well, catnip.

Punny Name Ann Gora, Dr. Abby Sinian, and Dr. N. Zyme. Callie's full first name is Calico. "Metallikats" is a portmanteau of "Metallic" and "Cats" and a reference to the Heavy Metal Band "Metallica". The SWAT Kats' Glovatrix gauntlets. "Glove of Tricks". Mayor Manx’s Mega War II ancestor was the Blue Manx, a play on The Blue Max.

Bus Full of Innocents: The motorman and passengers of a three-car subway train are eaten in "The Giant Bacteria." A literal bus full of innocents gets attacked by the giant mummies in "The Deadly Pyramid." Although one of the mummies crushes the bus, many (perhaps all) of the passengers (and presumably the driver) can be seen running away before this happens in a blink-and-you'll-miss it P.O.V. shot of Razor targeting one of the mummies.

Orderlies are Creeps: In "Enter the Madkat", a jerkish orderly at the Megakat Asylum torments Lenny Ringtail by watching The David Litterbin Show right outside his room, knowing it drives Ringtail crazy (well, crazier). He also taunts Ringtail through the window and laughs at him. The only possible explanation for his behavior despite where he works is that he took the job for the sole purpose of making fun of the insane.

Also, this trope plays an important role in the SWAT Kats' origin. While they were still Enforcers, Jake and Chance had missile lock on Dark Kat's craft. Unfortunately, Feral insisted on capturing the villain personally, and his interference resulted in Dark Kat escaping, Enforcer headquarters being damaged, and Jake and Chance not only getting thrown off the force, but blamed for the ensuing property damage by Feral and Reassigned As Garbagemen - in the Enforcers' personal junkyard. Two justifiably pissed-off ex-pilots + several dozen acres of abandoned government surplus = SWAT Kats.

Big Bad Ensemble: Dark Kat, Dr. Viper, the Metallikats and the Pastmaster. These villains made repeated appearances and were treated as serious threats each time. Each also tends to have something that makes them stand-out from the one-off villains. (Dark Kat, for example, played a role in the heroes' origin.)

Easy Logistics: Unless the SWAT Kats' base was a pre-built base lying forgotten under the junkyard (and given the world they live in, that might not be a bad guess), that is an astounding amount of work for only two people using what equipment they can salvage in the junkyard. Even if it's a military-grade junkyard with lots of good stuff, that still means they have to build and keep maintaining their equipment from scratch. Only Rule of Cool can possibly justify how two people do it themselves and still manage to have free time to work, sleep, eat, chill out, train, and go on missions.

Animation Bump

comment
Animation Bump: Season 2. Not only was the animation of much better quality with higher-contrast shading and increased reflective detail, the style more closely matched the tone and feel of the series. Somewhat similarly, four of the episodes in the first seasonlist"The Pastmaster Always Rings Twice", "Night of the Dark Kat", "Metal Urgency" and "Katastrophe" clearly had a lot more money spent on them than the others, with more detail and smoother animation. The same company (Mook DLE) went on to animate the entire second season.

Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: In "The Metallikats", when the titular villains show up to the mob they used to run, the mob's current leader tries to get rid of them, but they kill the leader first. Then, they declare that Megakat City belongs to them now, and all the mob goons, out of fear, immediately say they're with the Metallikats. The Metallikats sarcastically thank them for the vote of confidence, but since they were willing to switch sides rather than avenge their leader, the Metallikats tell them that "traitors like you don't fit into our new plan", and the Metallikats kill the goons with an exploding cigar, though a few survive.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 SWAT Kats / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Chance and Jake Sitcom Archnemeses Burke and Murray never appear in season two, despite having been featured in the show's main models, suggesting they were intended to be major supporting characters. It's possible this is due to the second season focusing less and less on the SWAT Kats' civilian lives; outside of towing a car in "A Bright and Shiny Future," they're never shown doing anything related to their jobs as mechanics again, including interacting with Burke and Murray. Steel. Despite being second in command in the Enforcers, he is MIA in the second season. The old lady who was Chance and Jake's (more or less) regular customer, with two appearances in season one under her belt, is gone come season two. The explanation for her absence is likely the same as Burke and Murray; she wasn't needed anymore due to less focus on Chance and Jake's job. Manx's chauffeur. Sure, he isn't a terribly important character (he hasn't even got a name), but still. In "Katastrophe," we see a masked Mac wearing his clothes and posing as "the new guy" in order to kidnap Manx and Callie. When Manx asks where his regular driver is, Mac simply replies, "Uh, he's out sick." The actual fate of the chauffeur is never revealed, and although Manx's limousine continues to appear, the chauffeur doesn't (or at least we never see who's driving). Al. Similar to Manx's chauffeur, he just stops appearing after a while, and although the Kat's Eye News chopper continues to show up, we never see who's flying it. In the broadcast version of "The Giant Bacteria," a farmer disappears between shots after witnessing his cow get eaten by the bacteria monster. The DVD restores a scene of him being fed to the monster by Dr. Viper, but the trope still applies to the version that airs on TV. "Enter the Madkat" never establishes what is done with Madkat after he's pushed out of Ringtail's body and returned to the jack-in-the-box. The episode seems weirdly more concerned about the fate of Ringtail himself rather than the very dangerous ghost who took over his body. Another example from "Enter the Madkat" is the orderly at the asylum. We see Lenny Ringtail jump on him ("Heeeeere's Ringtail!") but it cuts away. The next time we see Ringtail is when he breaks into the antique shop to evade the Enforcers, and we never learn the orderly's fate. In "Cry Turmoil," Razor leaves one of Turmoil's guards tied to his Ejektor seat under a tarp. We never find out what happens to her. In "Volcanus Erupts!", the islander who warns Mayor Manx and Mr. Young about the Talisman Stone just sort of disappears halfway through the story. He's with them when they escape from Volcanus in their speedboat, and is alive and accounted for on the dock, and he can be seen standing next to Ann and Jonny watching Volcanus attacking the city, but this is the last we see of him. He isn't even at the opening ceremony of the Anakata Island Park at the end.

Spell My Name With An S: In "The Wrath of Dark Kat", Steel insists his name is spelled with two E's, implying it is "Steel." However when we see his nameplate on his desk in "Enter the Madkat", it's spelled "Steele." Most fans take the latter spelling as the correct one, despite Steel's apparent preference. It's Confirmed to be S-T-E-E-L in the storyboards for "Enter the Madkat." Making the nameplate an error (the storyboards even spell his name "Steel" on the nameplate when he puts it on the desk).

This causes Razor to lose his self confidence and be reluctant to fire missiles, which makes him a danger to himself and T-Bone. Later on, T-Bone and Felina discover that Dark Kat had rigged the building to explode. Meanwhile, Razor, while visiting the couple in the hospital, discovers that they're actually criminals hired by Dark Kat to pretend they were injured. Upon realizing the truth, Razor regains his edge and he and T-Bone stop Dark Kat's giant black widow robot.

comment
Asshole Victim: In "The Giant Bacteria", Morbilus was far from a decent person, but being transformed into a giant mindless Blob Monster which is then destroyed by the heroes is a brutal way for anyone to go.note Especially since they never found out it was him. In "Chaos in Crystal", Warden Cyrus Meece has little regard for the well-being of the prisoners who work in his mines — one of whom causes his Karmic Death.

Botanical Abomination
 SWAT Kats / int_93489cfd
comment
Botanical Abomination: The recurring villain Doctor Viper began as an assistant botantist before turning evil. Viper routinely creates giant plant-monsters in his quest to overrun Megakat City, plus a corps of smaller plant-mooks to deal with intruders. One such abomination is a Blob Monster that incubates spores, which when loosed, would cause the city to be Reclaimed by Nature, tangled in vines and ivy and moss galore. Another abomination guarded the entrance to the office tower that Viper had commandeered; this plant-creature kept a corps of soldiers at bay.

Red-plica Baron: Red Lynx was a pilot who dominated the skies during Mega War II, known as the most evil pilot in history, He shot down any who dared oppose him, until he himself was shot down by Mayor Manx's ancestor, the Blue Manx. Then in actual era, his plane was found and with it Lynx's ghost, who still wants to get his revenge against Manx, no matter if is against his Paper Tiger descendant. His image even is used as the trope's page.

Badass Bystander: The manager of the Megakat Mint in "Unlikely Alloys." He is faced with two armed, murderous gangster-bots... and he tries to use himself as a shield to prevent them from getting into the vault. He may be Too Dumb to Live, but the bravery of fools is still bravery, and he probably saved the life of the guy Mac picked up, because in turning to deal with the manager, Mac puts the other guy down and forgets about him.

 SWAT Kats / int_973d220f
comment
Never My Fault: Feral unfairly blames Jake and Chance for the damage to Enforcer HQ, even though it's his own fault the incident happened (he interfered with their attempt to catch Dark Kat, because he couldn't accept someone else might catch the crook). The SWAT Kats themselves follow in Feral's footsteps when their goofing around allows Morbulus to easily escape and they (and Callie) blame it on Feral, despite the fact that Feral had not even arrived at the scene when Morbulus made his escape. Though they probably guessed correctly that he'll use this as an excuse to further condemn the SWAT Kats.

Barefoot Cartoon Animal: T-Bone and Razor in their pilot suits (but not in their civilian clothes, curiously enough), as well as Dark Kat and Dr. Viper (who's also a Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal). Proven useful when the SWAT Kats are able to use their foot claws easily. Otherwise averted — the rest of the characters are Fully Dressed Cartoon Animals.

comment
Hollywood Tactics: The Enforcers: In "Mutation City," some helicopters are sent through the flooded city to retrieve canisters of anti-mutagens from Megakat Biochemical Labs. For the sole purpose of having the Enforcers fail so the SWAT Kats can succeed at the same task later, the copters insist for whatever reason on flying as close to the surface of the water as possible, rather than higher up above the partially submerged rooftops, leaving them open to attack by the monsters dwelling beneath the surface. Not a tactic in and of itself, but the Peacekeeper (the Enforcers' primary type of tank) is a poorly designed vehicle that has guns capable of pivoting up and down, but not, apparently, from side to side.

Catchphrase: Razor's "Bingo"! "BRING ME CHOPPER BACKUP!" "SWAT KATS!! COME IN!" "Yes, Miss Briggs?" "The ENFORCERS can handle this!" Hilariously lampshaded in the Mirror Universe episode "The Dark Side of the SWAT Kats" when Mirror!Feral uses the same phrase: "Now there's a statement that transcends dimensions!" The SNES game adds "Gotcha!" as a catch phrase for T-Bone, so T-Bone can shout something after beating a boss if the player is playing as T-Bone (if the player is playing as Razor, Razor uses the "Bingo!" catch phrase from the show).

Only I Can Kill Him
 SWAT Kats / int_b78862d6
comment
Only I Can Kill Him: Played unapologetically straight - the SWAT Kats are the only ones who can win the fight. Everyone else, since, unlike our heroes they don't have gigantic testicles of steel, fails miserably. Every. Single. Time. Without fail. Also, this trope plays an important role in the SWAT Kats' origin. While they were still Enforcers, Jake and Chance had missile lock on Dark Kat's craft. Unfortunately, Feral insisted on capturing the villain personally, and his interference resulted in Dark Kat escaping, Enforcer headquarters being damaged, and Jake and Chance not only getting thrown off the force, but blamed for the ensuing property damage by Feral and Reassigned As Garbagemen - in the Enforcers' personal junkyard. Two justifiably pissed-off ex-pilots + several dozen acres of abandoned government surplus = SWAT Kats. The Red Lynx can only die if he's killed by the descendant of the pilot who originally defeated him. Turns out to be Mayor Manx, of all people. Which causes some problems, to say the very least. The Enforcers do have some early successes, particularly in "The Pastmaster Always Rings Twice", wherein pilots Burge and King wipe out a pair of reanimated skeletons (and even get to do a Pre-Mortem One-Liner), and later on, Feral's idea to use gas grenades against the Megasaurus rex actually work. Then in "The Ci-Kat-A", the Enforcers successfully wipe out the alien nest at the end. But when it comes to the episodes' actual main villains, they of course fail spectacularly both times.

Professor Hackle's lab is especially egregious. Although a little more toned down than Viper's, he nevertheless has a table on which can be seen a retort and several flasks and test tubes. One problem. Hackle is a machinist/roboticist, so what he needs chemistry equipment for is anyone's guess. They're just there to inform us he's, like, a scientist and such, even though the operating tables and Kenneth Strickfadden-esque machinery filling the rest of the room do the job just fine on their own.

Slasher Smile: Most of the villains do this at least once. Strangely, the SWAT Kats do it fairly often, including in most of the publicity. The bacteria monsters in "The Giant Bacteria" have permanent gleefully evil open-mouthed smiles.

Big "NO!": Callie in "Night of the Dark Kat", while putting Megakat City's money to good use by using a bag of cash to bring down Dark Kat. Some of the villains (including Dark Kat and the Pastmaster) also do this when defeated by the SWAT Kats. A pretty disturbing one is given by Morbulus while he's transforming in "The Giant Bacteria." Dr. Viper, the one mutating him, counters with a Big "YES!"

 SWAT Kats / int_c75df49a

Shout-Out: "Unlikely Alloys" has a reference to Captain EO, when Macdescends towards the camera from the ceiling, supported by various wires. Two of the cyclopes in "Bride of the Pastmaster" have horns on their foreheads. Warden Meece's name in "Chaos in Crystal" is intended to be a weird play on "Siamese," but doubles as a reference to Mr. Jinks' name for mice in The Huckleberry Hound Show. He called them "meeces." It therefore doubles as a really morbidly funny Punny Name considering Jinks' catchphrase is "I hate meeces to pieces" and Meece, upon being turned into crystal, is knocked over and shattered, i.e. "Meeces goes to pieces."

What the Hell, Hero?
 SWAT Kats / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: In "The Giant Bacteria", the SWAT Kats manage to defeat and capture a villain named Morbulus, right above the sea and near some rocks. Instead of holding him until the authorities got there or even going over to said authorities to hand Morbulus over, they decide to mess around and just drop the villain in the water. Of course, Morbulus takes advantage of this and escapes into a very nearby sewer duct in the rocky area before the enforcers get there. The Swat Kats never get called out on it by anybody other than Feral, who is actually in the right about the SWAT Kats screwing up this time around. The SWAT Kats get furious and throw a tantrum (with Chance even breaking their television) as well as blaming Feral for Morbulus getting away (though not to his face) and even Callie is uncharacteristically catty and tries pinning the blame on Feral for the whole thing, plus their letting Morbulus escape ends up with Dr. Viper transforming Morbulus into a bacteria monster that kills many innocent civilians. What makes it all even harsher is that it is only the second episode of the first season (and the first episode made), so it leaves a bad impression on the heroes, as well as Callie, very early in the series. Thankfully, nothing of that level happens afterwards in the series, so this might be chalked up to Early-Installment Weirdness.

comment
Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: In the first episode the two heroes hold a contest on how many g's they can take before passing out, and refer to their records as '10 seconds at mach 5'. Which is meaningless, because how many g's one takes isn't determined by speed but by acceleration. You're probably taking quite a bit of g-forces if you're making a turn at mach 5, but unless you mention how sharp the turn is the g forces could range from non-existant to instantly fatal.

Ship Tease
 SWAT Kats / int_dcb9c541
comment
Ship Tease: There is a few hints that Ann Gora's relationship with her cameraman Jonny is more than just professional. There isthat scene where Callie flirtily says "Bye, Jake." right after Chance brags (out of earshot) about her "obviously" digging him. Rule of Funny, yes, but a tease nonetheless. Callie's nigh-identical ancestor also has a blatant interest in Razor when the SWAT Kats are sent back in time by the Pastmaster. Dr. Street also flirts with Ann at the beginning of "The Ci-Kat-A." It's very subtle, but the way he tells her to "drop by the space center tomorrow" suggests he fancies her a bit. There was more of the Jake and Callie dynamic in the unfinished episode "Succubus!" They attend an orchestra performance and even call it a date. Admittedly, Callie only went because Manx was insistent she go for PR reasons, and she needed a plus-one, but the scene nevertheless would still count. Another ship tease lost when the show got cancelled was T-Bone/Felina. In the unproduced script "Succubus!", although what they do is fight Katrina Moorkroft's Mooks in their gargoyle forms, they still (half-jokingly) refer to it as a date, and after Jake returns from the orchestra, Chance brags about his night out with Felina fighting monsters.

Dub Name Change: The Hindi dub of the show, for Indian audiences, had some hilarious name changes.

The Pastmaster was called something that meant King of Demons.

Family-Friendly Firearms: Par for the course in this type of show, at least with regular guns (Commander Feral quite clearly has a handgun, and despite ejecting casings when fired, it inexplicably makes laser noises; then again, it has an orange-colored portion (an emitter?) inside the muzzle); though Felina and a few other Enforcers have a futuristic-looking laser pistol. Enforcer tanks and copters have missiles, and yet fire lasers instead of bullets or shells. However, occasionally Enforcer commandoes are seen firing bazookas of some sort, and the SWAT Kats' arsenal is clearly intended to be as non-lethal as possible (the cement rotary gun, for instance) or have alternate functions (like the Tarpedoes (used for blinding enemies), or the Scrambler missiles (used for electrical shocks, like to bring down forcefields)), and their Glovatrixes often have scaled down versions of these projectiles; they do fire a regular missile on one occasion (it was lampshaded when it was fired with a button marked Plain Old Missile). Also, throughout season 1 the Enforcers' and criminals' weapons sometimes seemed to fire bullets, but with red streaks trailing the bullets as they were fired, and laser noises accompanied these; this tended to happen when the plot called for bullets in some fashion, so presumably this was some sort of compromise (though lasers won out by season 2).

"Katastrophe" has three different ones: Dark Kat always planned to screw over everybody, so Viper anticipated that and decided to screw him first, and he recruited the Metallikats to screw Dark Kat with him. Also averted, in the sense that Dark Kat thought he could force the Metallikats to do his dirty work for him and screw Viper first. Please do not take any of these statements literally. If you do, considering we're talking about robots and mutated monsters, keep a bottle of Brain Bleach handy. Thank you for visiting TV Tropes. Have a nice day.

In "The Giant Bacteria", Morbilus was far from a decent person, but being transformed into a giant mindless Blob Monster which is then destroyed by the heroes is a brutal way for anyone to go.note Especially since they never found out it was him.

 SWAT Kats / int_ee7a60e9
comment
One-Steve Limit: Enforced: Grave robber Jack in "The Pastmaster Always Rings Twice" is named Mac in the final script. His name was probably changed to avoid confusion with Mac Mange. Also, the guard in "The Origin of Dr. Viper" was originally going to be named Smitty, until someone apparently remembered the Enforcer clerk named Smitty, and his name was changed to Emil. One exception is in the unfinished episode "The Doctors of Doom," where Felina's rookie partner is named Gray Taylor, when there'd already been a character named Taylor (the foreman in "Caverns of Horror"). Since "Doctors of Doom" was never finished, it's unknown if Taylor's last name would've been changed. Averted with the main Enforcer sergeant. According to the script for "Destructive Nature," his name is Talon. Talon is also the name of one of the prison guards in "Chaos in Crystal."

The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything
 SWAT Kats / int_ee7ed46e
comment
The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: As the series progresses, there is less and less focus on Chance and Jake's job as mechanics. In season one, they can be seen repairing cars, towing people, etc. Apart from one scene of them towing a car in "A Bright and Shiny Future" (which they ditch to rush off and fight the Pastmaster), their car repair business is never mentioned again in season two. The only repairing they're shown doing after that is on the Turbokat. They even get rid of their tow truck entirely in "When Strikes Mutilor," and even it is never seen again, despite being a pretty important part of their business. Although she is highly competent, supposed Deputy Mayor Briggs is almost never seen doing anything that an actual deputy mayor would do, instead being treated (both in universe and out) more like a glorified personal assistant to Manx, at one point even preparing a press release for him, something a press secretary would do, and on more than one occasion writing his speeches for him. Twice it is said Burke and Murray report to Commander Feral about what Chance and Jake are up to ("We'll tell Commander Feral you sent your love!"), but this is never seen. Instead, the duo just pointlessly harass and bully them.

Second-Person Attack
 SWAT Kats / int_f1176f36
comment
Second-Person Attack: Frequently: A dual drop down kick by T-Bone and Razor against two converted MASA guards in "The Ci-Kat-A." A dual punch against the Lenny Ringtail in "Enter the Madkat" after he's no longer possessed by Madkat, courtesy of two of the people who most deserve to give it to him: Razor (whom he ate) and Feral (whom he imprisoned in a magic box). A fatal version done to the second Megakat Biochemical Labs guard in "Katastrophe", with the mushroom monster's tentacle reaching towards him. A dual kick in the face version to one of Turmoil's guards from Razor in "Cry Turmoil" - in his Ejektor seat, no less! Another kick in the face from Razor, this time to Hard Drive in "SWAT Kats Unplugged." Purvis punching Dr. Zyme in the face in "The Origin of Dr. Viper." A punch delivered by the evil version of Razor to a Puma-Dyne guard in "The Dark Side of the SWAT Kats." This one is noteworthy considering Dark!Razor uses the hand wearing his Glovatrix, which the Spikes of Villainy had to be removed from for this shot, or else it would've been one of the show's most violent and painful punches by implication alone. In the unfinished episode "Succubus!", a transformed Otto kicks Felina in the face and knocks her unconscious this way.

Clock of Power: The Pastmaster has a stopwatch on a chain around his neck, with which he summons skeletons from their graves to battle the Enforcers while he makes his escape. It's not until he gets his paws on the Tome of Time that he's able to summon a dinosaur from the distant past, and send the Turbokat into the Cretaceous period.

No Waterproofing in the Future: Averted with the Metallikats, at least in their first appearance - Callie tries to defeat them with a fire hose. It doesn't work. Played With in "Razor's Edge" with Dark Kat's Black Widow. The outside is waterproof, but the inside isn't. Averted again in "SWAT Kats Unplugged", where in a fit of improvisational tactics, the SWAT Kats try to knock over a water tower so that it falls onto the pursuing Hard Drive's jet and stalls out his engines, but it doesn't work.

In "The Giant Bacteria", the SWAT Kats manage to defeat and capture a villain named Morbulus, right above the sea and near some rocks. Instead of holding him until the authorities got there or even going over to said authorities to hand Morbulus over, they decide to mess around and just drop the villain in the water. Of course, Morbulus takes advantage of this and escapes into a very nearby sewer duct in the rocky area before the enforcers get there. The Swat Kats never get called out on it by anybody other than Feral, who is actually in the right about the SWAT Kats screwing up this time around. The SWAT Kats get furious and throw a tantrum (with Chance even breaking their television) as well as blaming Feral for Morbulus getting away (though not to his face) and even Callie is uncharacteristically catty and tries pinning the blame on Feral for the whole thing, plus their letting Morbulus escape ends up with Dr. Viper transforming Morbulus into a bacteria monster that kills many innocent civilians. What makes it all even harsher is that it is only the second episode of the first season (and the first episode made), so it leaves a bad impression on the heroes, as well as Callie, very early in the series. Thankfully, nothing of that level happens afterwards in the series, so this might be chalked up to Early-Installment Weirdness.

Attack Pattern Alpha: In the event they're being followed by a heat-seeking missile, the SWAT Kats have "Plan Z" - which involves shutting down the engines in midair and launching a decoy missile to draw the heat-seeker off. Understandably, Razor hates this plan.

Not My Driver
 SWAT Kats / int_f3f1a9e2
comment
Manx's chauffeur. Sure, he isn't a terribly important character (he hasn't even got a name), but still. In "Katastrophe," we see a masked Mac wearing his clothes and posing as "the new guy" in order to kidnap Manx and Callie. When Manx asks where his regular driver is, Mac simply replies, "Uh, he's out sick." The actual fate of the chauffeur is never revealed, and although Manx's limousine continues to appear, the chauffeur doesn't (or at least we never see who's driving).

Never Say "Die"
 SWAT Kats / int_f51c5f3c
comment
Never Say "Die": Sometimes averted, though. In "Mutation City" Razor prepares to go after a sinking T-Bone and growls "If you drown, buddy...I'm gonna kill you!" In "The Origin of Dr. Viper" a dead Elrod Purvis is stashed in a morgue with a clearly-labled DOA toe-tag (Dead On Arrival, for those who don't know). The morgue is also clearly labeled and referenced as such in dialogue. "Mac and Molly Mange have been dead for months!" "The Ghost Pilot" averts this multiple times because of the Antagonist Title, Callie actually asks several times how one can kill a ghost.

comment
Chance and Jake Sitcom Archnemeses Burke and Murray never appear in season two, despite having been featured in the show's main models, suggesting they were intended to be major supporting characters. It's possible this is due to the second season focusing less and less on the SWAT Kats' civilian lives; outside of towing a car in "A Bright and Shiny Future," they're never shown doing anything related to their jobs as mechanics again, including interacting with Burke and Murray.

Surveillance Station Slacker: Security in Megakat City is often lax: The sergeant in "Night of the Dark Kat." Despite reassuring the New Meat that if anyone tries to break into the defense center that the Enforcers will stop them, he's shown asleep at his desk minutes later while Hard Drive is helping himself to all the computer data. He has to be awakened by the burglar alarm. The guard outside the top secret research lab in Puma-Dyne in "The Dark Side of the SWAT Kats" is snoring soundly when both the good and evil sets of SWAT Kats sneak in. Emil in "The Origin of Dr. Viper" is either reading comic books of sleeping while manning the front desk at Megakat Biochemical. At least his excuse is he's elderly. Nevertheless, he allows Dr. Viper to literally slip in under his nose.

Theme Mobile: The TurboKat is at least as well known as the SWAT Kats' flight suits. The other bigger vehicles (the TurboMole and the HoverKat) all had the same basic paint scheme. The other smaller vehicles (the Cyclotron (both the one seater variants launched from the hangar, and the two seater that became the TurboKat's seats) and the SandKat) had the same color scheme as their flight suits. All of them qualify.

Our Gargoyles Rock: The Pastmaster brings a gargoyle on Old Megakat Bridge to life briefly in "A Bright and Shiny Future." It's basically just a horned, demon-like head with More Teeth than the Osmond Family at the end of an extending neck. In the unfinished episode "Succubus!", Katrina Moorkroft's three servants turn into what the script describes as gargoyles. They abduct victims for their employer and can shoot lasers out of their eyes.
