Here are the reasons: 1. HEAVY CREATOR INVOLVEMENT. When the Tremblay brothers sold SWAT Kats to Hanna-Barbera, they weren't just sent on their way. They stayed on as major creative partners. As a result, SWAT Kats has a distinctive look, just like critically acclaimed series such as Batman, Ren&Stimpy, and the Simpsons. 2. UNIQUENESS. Many animated series' feature funny animals in humorous adventures (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Biker Mice from Mars, the various Disney Afternoon offerings, etc.) but SWAT Kats is different. The Tremblay brothers and Hanna-Barbera realized that animal characters and serious action/adventure stories are two great tastes that taste great together, and this gave SWAT Kats a different tone than most of its competition. (The only two vaguely comparable shows are ABC's "Sonic the Hedgehog" with it's "Star Wars" theme of rebels vs. tyrants, and the "grim and gritty" current version of "Ninja Turtles".) 3. AN EXCELLENT VOICE CAST The producers of SWAT Kats assembled a virtual Who's Who of the best voice actors in American TV animation. If you don't recognize at least half the names of the cast, you probably shouldn't be reading "ANIMATO!" in the first place. 4. EXQUISITE ANIMATION. Hanho Heung-Up (whose credits include "Tale Spin") did nine episodes of SWAT Kats, and they look pretty good. Mook (who have done several features in Japan) did 14 episodes, and they look great. Suddenly, Hanna-Barbera, the home of limited movement, was producing a show whose animation frequently approached feature film quality. ("The Deadly Pyramid" and "Unlikely Alloys" are especially impressive.) 5. OVERALL QUALITY The people who made SWAT Kats weren't just cynically marking time while they waited for jobs on a better show. They cared, and their devotion shows in the finished product. This, more than anything else, is what has attracted animation fans to SWAT Kats. And now, let's get down to specifics, beginning with our cast of characters. THE HEROES T-Bone, AKA Chance Furlong (Charlie Adler): The SWAT Kats' fearless air ace, the best -- and toughest -- pilot in the sky. T-Bone's flying and fighting skills make him a "criminal's worst nightmare" in the air or on the ground. In his spare time, he enjoys watching "Scaredykat" cartoons and reading "Kat Kommandoes" comic books (I wonder if he reads ANIMATO!?) Razor, AKA Jake Clawson (Barry Gordon): The SWAT Kats' "high tech edge", an inventor who designs the team's vehicles and weapons. An effective fighter, Razor is also a "sure shot" who can nail the most elusive criminal with the Turbo Kat's missiles, which contain such gimmicks as circular saws, drill bits and capture nets. Razor's catch phrase is "Bingo!", which he often shouts when the missiles connect. Mayor Manx (Jim Cummings): The titular leader of Megakat City, an old-fashioned politician who sounds like W.C. Fields with an Irish accent. He's cowardly and slightly corrupt, he wears an unconvincing toupee, and he puts at least as much effort into his golf game as running the city, but he's basically a likable comic relief character. Commander Feral (Gary Owens): The leader of the Enforcers, Feral is courageous and honest, but he's also arrogant, ill-tempered, narrow-minded, stubborn and rude. Worst of all, he regards the SWAT Kats as reckless vigilantes who are as dangerous as the villains they fight. Feral is indirectly responsible for the formation of the SWAT Kats; as shown in the "Wrath of Dark Kat", he fired Clawson and Furlong from the Enforcers when they supposedly let the supervillain Dark Kat escape (an incident that was actually Feral's own fault). Deputy Mayor Calico "Callie" Briggs (Tress MacNeille): Mayor Manx may have the title, but Callie, his attractive young troubleshooter, is the one who really runs Megakat City. She's also the SWAT Kats' most powerful ally, although the TV series has never revealed how their friendship started. Callie has a secret communications link with the SWAT Kats that allows her to call them into action, and she defends the heroic pilots whenever Commander Feral criticizes them. Also, Callie copes with danger better than Manx or Feral, because she's braver than Manx and smarter than either of them. Ann Gora (Candi Milo): An intrepid TV reporter for "Kat's Eye News" who often risks her life to cover the SWAT Kats adventures. Dr. Abby Sinian (Linda Gary): A historian and archeologist who works for the Megakat City Museum of History. She occasionally helps the SWAT Kats and Callie Briggs gather information on supernatural villains. Mr. Young (Robert Ito): A corporate head who might someday do a big project in Megakat City -- if those darned supervillains would just stop getting in the way. Lt. Felina Feral (Lori Alan): A gung-ho Enforcer who happens to be Commander Feral's niece. Her uncle tries to keep her out of danger, but this macho warrior woman insists on storming into the thick of each battle. Like Callie, Felina realizes that Megakat City needs the SWAT Kats and is willing to work with them. THE RECURRING VILLAINS Dark Kat (Brock Peters): This criminal mastermind resembles a feline Darth Vader or Dr. Doom, thanks to his imposing physical presence (especially the hood and cape) and resonant voice. He specializes in plotting, scheming, and manipulating others into doing his will. Dark Kat's goal is to destroy Megakat City and replace it with a "capitol of crime" called Dark Kat City, "where lawlessness is the law of the land!" (Lance Falk: "Dark Kat doesn't want to steal money -- he wants to be ON money.") He's assisted by a group of chattering, batwinged creatures called "Creeplings" (whose noises are made by Charlie Adler). Dr. Viper (Frank Welker): A mad scientist who was accidentally mutated into a half-kat/half-reptile creature -- and likes it that way. As shown in "Destructive Nature", Viper plans to create "a spectacular new Megakat City! No more ugly metal and plastic, only beautiful swamp, ruled by me! Dr. Viper's Megaswamp City -- it will be so beautiful!" To make this twisted dream a reality, Viper mutates ordinarly plants, reptiles and insects into hideous kat-eating monsters under his control. The Metallikats: Also known as the married gangsters "Mac Mange" (Neil Ross) and "Molly Mange" (April Winchell). These feline felons died while escaping from prison, but the kindly, naive inventor Professor Hackle (George Hearn), who had no idea who they were, found them and transferred their minds into powerful robot bodies. The result: two heavily armed mechanical mobsters with attitudes. Mac and Molly are unquestionably evil, and they argue and insult each other constantly, but deep down they really love each other. They're the most entertaining members of the SWAT Kats' rogues' gallery. The Pastmaster (Keene Curtis): An 800-year old sorcerer whose magical pocket watch functions as both a time travel device and a weapon that shoots energy beams. This medieval miscreant brings monsters from the past (like dinosaurs and mummies) into the present to do his bidding. Hard Drive (Rob Paulsen): A cyberpunk "technology pirate" who wears a "surge coat" that gives him the power to steal secured computer files, control vehicles, and turn into a pure energy form that can travel through power lines. The suit ahs one other interesting feature: when Hard Drive puts it on, his normal hairstyle automatically changes into a mohawk! Burke (Mark Hamill) and Murray (Charlie Adler): These two aren't supervillains, but they're almost as annoying. They deliver salvage to Jake & Chance's Garage, and they always take a moment to pester Clawson & Furlong about their status as officially disgraced ex-Enforcers. _______________________NEXT TIME: THE EP GUIDE_______________ _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

You can e-mail them at "toonnet@aol.com" to ask if the seconds season eps will make it to Hungary, either the African one or your own version (heh.)

Negative Kemo Sabe...the only Kats tee produced was for the Hanna-Barbera employees. It was extremely cool, with a Kat on the front of the thing in fighter-pilot gear, and on the back it said "Animation Ground Crew". Despite the fact the Hanna-Barbera employee store completely sold out of the things, they figured that "people weren't buying enough". Duuuuhhhhh.... You got the Kat figures and vids over there?

Hmm...I'm not quite sure what you're actually asking, but here goes based on my best guess. "Dark Side of the Swat Kats" is the ep that has the 'Kat-guys evil alternate-dimension twins. It was one of the scripts written by a "freelance" writer (that is, a writer that isn't on staff at Hanna-Barbera, but sends his scripts in hoping that the regulars will think it's good enough to be made into an episode) named Jim Katz (no, I am _not_ kidding...). This guy has only written this one ep for Kats, and is one of four guys who wrote single episodes on a freelance basis, the others being Von Williams for "The Ghost Pilot", Mark Saraceni for "Razor's Edge", and David Ehrman for "Night of the Dark Kat". The cool thing about this ep (other than the more-than-reasonable artwork for the guys..) is the way the writer defined the differences between evil and good TB&R. It's most noticable in two scenes inside the alternate-Pumadyne: when our Kats get past the Guard in the first scene, they sneak past the kipping dude rather than do anything more confrontational and unnecessarily violent -- their evil counterparts make a point of waking up the guard just so Evil Razor can plow him into unconsciousness (when they could've just as easily snuck past). The second scene is when the Nice Kitties negotiate the network of laser-beams in the hallway, and after a series of acrobatics, have some kind of good-natured rivalry-ridden exchange of words. Nasty Kats go through the same obstacle course, but when _they_ reach the end of it, they snipe at each other and almost end up at blows. Both sets of Kats are a team, but the difference in "style" illustrates the difference between "Good" and "Evil" without having to resort to the same type of Moustache-twirling "baddie" dialogue I've seen elsewhere. Someone pointed out that not everything in "NegaKat City" was opposite of normal. Feral and Felina were certainly more ornery, but still maintained their "polarity" as respects good/bad. Not so with Evil Callie, who was quite obviously not a great prospect for a date, and more Machiavellian than most politicians in Real Life. Oh yeah, forgot. Anyone notice the relatively subtle differences between the two sets of Kats? Evil Razor and T-Bone hadn't shaved, whereas our Kats are almost always clean-shaven (...what the HELL am I saying..they have fur..). Actually, Good Razor forgot to shave in "Night of the Dark Kat". When our Kats have close-ups of Paws on the various control surfaces of the Turbokat, their claws are retracted. Evil Razor operates the weaps panel with claws fully extended. The only problem I had with this ep was that someone decided that the audience was incapable of discerning the difference between the good Kats and Bad - hence the "skull" logos on Evil TB&R's gear. That would've been okay too, but I find it somewhat hard to believe that either Razor or T-Bone would kind of "overlook" that aspect of things when they were getting confused as to who-was-who in Pumadyne.] Oh well, it was still sad when even _evil_ Razor and T-Bone bit it at the end. _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

By the way, what do you mean by figures? All I have of the Kats is the episodes I'm taping and the stuff I downloaded from the web site and at the moment one image from the ftp site. The Web site listed Mark Hamill as the voice of Burke. Is this THE Mark Hamill? And who is Burke? As for the Tee, the reason why I asked it is because I actually have seen one. There was a photo of a Hungarian band shooting a video in one my magazines, and a guy from the crew was wearing a SK t-shirt. It was black with the logo on it in white. Hmmm? I'm not sure I came across well last time, all I meant was that people may stare at me for liking a cartoon at this age, but I don't feel ashamed at all. The Kats are absolutely, well not cool 'cos that's a commonplace, lets just say marvellous...amazing...blah blah...you know what I'm talking about. Any idea how many people are there on the list? I'm just curious. Well, that's all I think. field.

But the point is we KNOW that there is violence, and anyway, we know not to try it at home, and I also don't think you can shoot people with a Glovatrix or put the TK (TurboKat) in the air and blow up some neighborhood.

I believe "G-Force" is just being aired on TCN as part of a syndication package - I doubt Turner owns it. As far as sending the Tidy Bowl man over to TPS to clean out the bowl...well, the idea has merit, and I'm sure Time-Warner is holding auditions - but TWC has so far proven reluctant to "pull the chain" and dump the TPS deadwood responsible for canning Kats. Someone wrote about a band in Hungary wearing a Kats shirt - and Matt asked if he could acquire a scan of the pic? I second it - it must be some do-it-yourself version, or something that TCN marketed in far off lands and not North America. I would like to see it on the FTP site, along with the digitized Kats theme that someone else mentioned they had.

When Hanna-Barbera decided to go ahead with the Kats, they should've offered it to the broadcast networks at the outset. Turner's people said "Nah. We'll get enough of the country covered with TBS and The Cartoon Network". BZZZZZT! But hey, thanks for playing. In a lot of areas people don't even know what SwatKats is - in Canada it was only available on TBS which is a pay service up here. Despite the fact that Turner owned both TBS and Hanna-Barbera - if TBS decided not to pick the program up for a third season, H-B would be forced to cancel because no other networks were airing it! What a Brain Trust Atlanta must be. Wasn't it your school friends who thought Kats was dumb? Heck - what do they consider "good" - Mighty Morphine Pouter Rangers? You can stack Kats up against any ac/adv toon back to "Jonny Quest" and not find it wanting - doubt I could say similar for MMPR in ten years. _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

Heh! It's really fun when you hit the aisles at something like Toys R Us or your local video store and walk out with an armful of whatever to the disdain of those watching you - but heck, it's fun! My favourite trick when coming across someone looking down their nose at you for the Razor plushie, Kats drawing/cel, ac-figure purchase etc is to take a long, hard look at the individual deriding you and ask yourself "do I really want to be anything like *them*??!". The answer is always "no", and if "maturity" means you have to give up playing with your toys - I ain't having any of it! Besides, as far as it goes, cartoon characters like the Kats are more fun than 80 percent of the people I meet who spend an inordinate amount of time worrying about RRSP's and Mutual Funds. _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

I think TCN should have a 12 hour marathon of SK so I can get all of them on tape. Thanks for telling me they're on at 2PM on Saturdays. I wish I could access the newsgroup. My college freeport server doesn't subcribe to newsgroups. Anyone know another way to get in? How do you add a file (like a graphic file (*.GIF, *.JPG, ETC.)) to an e-mail message.

I might consider posting it to rat.org: THE END OF THE SWAT KATS By: A.J. Freda ACT 1: T-Bone and Razor wake up to the sound of the distress alarm. T-bone answers the phone. Callie says "SWAT Kats, come quick! Ted Turner is trying to cancel you and the city!!!" The SWAT Kats jump into action, into the TurboKat, and they're off to MegaKat City. ACT 2: When they arrive, they find Ted Turner (A giant TEDdy bear) destroying the city. Razor gets a lock on him, and fires an Octopus missle. Ted grabs the missle and flings it back at the jet. T-Bone just barely dodges it. Razor tries to unsew Ted and fires pincer missles. The missles rip Ted to shreds. Then suddenly, he puts himself back together! Ted fires his cancelling beam (when someone gets hit by it, they dissappear) at the TurboKat. Ted fires many rounds. T-Bone is able to dodge all of them. Razor fires a proto-type missle he's been working on, it's a lulla-bye missle. The missle plays lullabyes to get Ted to go beddy-bye, but Ted crushes the missle. Ted then fires his cancelling beam at the city. The city disappears. All that's left is him and the SWAT Kats. Then Ted lights a cancelling atom bomb and splits. The TurboKat goes at the speed of heat to try to get away, but the bomb goes off and cancells them............ ACT 3: All that's left are the fans of the SWAT Kats. They are inventing a de-cancellation beam to bring back the SWAT Kats. All they have to do is bang Ted Turner over the head with it........ ARTHUR JOHN FREDA ah518@leo.nmc.edu It's a bird!

Okay - originally, the Kat toys were supposed to be shipped to Target, Toys R Us, and K-Mart (apparently Wal-Mart also - if I recall). So far, the only sightings of the toys and the posters have been at TRU and K-Mart. Try calling the store in Cadillac before making your parents drive you all that way - you might end up disappointed! >P.S. Is the speed of heat faster than speed of sound? Speed of sound is about 600 mph or so - "Mach One".

Jets reach their "service ceiling" when the air is too thin to provide the needed lift over the wings. Turbokat operating above it's normal ceiling becomes essentially a winged missile - the "wings" just act as stabilizers, but really provide no "lift", as in run-of-the-mill missiles and rockets in general. The "shield" that envelops the canopy is supposed to protect the occupants from becoming Kentucky-fried Kat upon re-entry - a task done by the famous "heat-shield tiles" on the Space Shuttle. Other than that, "cartoon physics" is an oxymoron... _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

Heh...check out Feral in "Bright and Shiny Future" - another ep with great fanfic spinoff possibilities. Feral's been going bald for quite some time, and I guess the added stress of living like a Resistance fighter in MegaKat Swamp kinda took its toll on the hairline (fur-line?) Also note that Feral is usually Mr. Squeaky-always-Clean-shaven Kat, _except_ for this ep and "The Dark Side of the Swat Kats" - where _both_ Commander Ferals haven't shaved (Razor: "Forgot to shave this morning Commander?"). >RE: Kats Plushie?! >WHERE?! WHERE?! That would be utterly cool! False alarm...blame me. >RE: 'Secret Files of the SWAT Kats' >We never got those over here in Singapore, though I read about it in the >Animato! article ... what was it like? "Secret Files of the SWAT Kats" were actually the "color models" of the characters, vehicles, and weaponry placed on a kind of "computer grid" background to look as though it was some sort of Tactical display in the TurboKat. They had a voice-over which always began "You have accessed the Secret Files of the SwatKats...Name: Chance Furlong...Occupation: Garage Mechanic..." and so on depending on who or what they had the picture of. In the US NTSC versions of the home videos, they have the "Secret Files" bits placed in the spots where the commercials would normally occur in each ep. Hanna-Barbera discontinued the "Secret Files" bits in the second season of Kats, and replaced them with an incredibly lame barrage of stuff like "Hanna-Barbera Trading Cards" - accompanied by the most obnoxious music I've heard outside an elevator ("Hmmm....hm.hm.hnm.hm...'Wee aaree Caartooonzzz.....' " UGH!) (I actually learned earlier that there would _be_ video releases because Turner Home Video ordered Hanna-Barbera to turn over all the interstitials to them.) _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

At mach1 you are flying as fast as speed of sound. At mach2 you're going twice the speed of sound. If I remember correctly speed of sound is somewheres around 720mph in the air. On the gound is 840mph. (If my memory serves me correctly.) At mach2 your flying 1,440mph and so on. As for the reason about needing to go as fast as the seed of sound is that you have a lot more resistance then you do in the air. BTW, "In Strikes Mutilor," Razor has supposedly increased the Turbokat's perfomance one or two more machs. Also, according to Razor in that ep the Turbokat can go faster than that but they never really tested the engines to their full extent. At mach six they are going as fast as the SR-71 Blackbird and this plane has unlimmited climbing capabilities. The only draw back is that going that fast in a thin altitude can wrech havoc on ones senses. In getting back to "In Strike Mutilor" Razor installed a heatshield cannapy for the kat. As for the remainder of the kat Razor's genius proably came up with a special heat mixture that he developed that can be applied as a coat over the kat's paint job. Besides, if the Enforcers still had that high-tech plane that was slightly bit better than the turbo kat, the inprovements that Razor did will no blow away the so called high-tech jet the Enforcers had before Mayor Manx blew it out of the sky. The ep this jet was in is called "The Ghost Pilot."

There would only be two reasons to fly so low: 1. If they're trying to avoid radar (or being spotted visually). 2. If they're so close to the threat that there's no point in climbing. In addition to rattling windows, low level flight consumes more fuel and gives you a rougher ride than high altitude.

The other picture looked like a B-25, but it had a feline female as nose art. These looked for all the world like the way Kats would look in our WW2.

A hybrid rocket-jet is quite feasible, even for us lowly humans, but would require volume to store oxidizer. Then again, the Turbokat already holds a lot more than its exterior envelope would let one believe :) At an altitude where the wings do not provide lift there is also not enough airflow over the surfaces to provide stabilization either; some sort of reaction jet system would be needed. The Turbokat, being a VTOL aircraft, undoubtedly already has these, though they're not shown in use. I base this on the fact that the Harrier has such a system. >Other than that, "cartoon physics" is an oxymoron... Actually cartoon physics are very real.

If anyone wants to mirror it, I am all for it. I'll update the README files so that people can know about it. But I don't know of anyone out there willing to maintain a collection of Kat pics.

Far-fetched, but does anyone remember the Roy Scheider flick "Blue Thunder"? Lt. Murphy ditched a number of heatseekers fired by F-16's by tricking them into slamming into office-towers which, reflecting the brilliant sunshine, appeared "hotter" than the exhaust of the helo's turbines. I doubt the Kat-guys had that much forethought - (aside from needlessly wasting innocent bored little-lemmings in their office towers) but it makes for an entertaining explanation! Also, missiles fired from the rooftop of M-Kat city buildings at the Turbokat would have a greater chance of hitting it if the TK was flying much higher and clear of the "interference" represented by all the buildings and what-have-you. _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

"Sedation" refers to a drug administered to either calm an individual down when he/she is in danger of doing harm to him/herself and others - sometimes rendering them unconscious. Manx wasn't a happy camper because poor old MegaKat Towers drained the City Treasury, and everyone knows that Siamese investors don't appreciate buildings full of bug-slime, plant deteritus, and no roof for the helicopter to land for Golf-Course outings. Actually, Ed was right upon looking back at the TK's makeup - it appears to be half-F14 and half AV-8A. The directional thrusters are cribbed directly from "Harrier" (though it's a bit of a stretch having only the one for the entire rear of the aircraft), but the swingwing is _all_ F-14 and its brethren. Razor's preoccupation with "dings" in the paintwork of the TK during Mutilor reminds me much of certain friends who feel exactly the same way about their Military gear - personally, if it still flies and all the pieces land roughly simultaneously, I'm a happy Kat! Oh yeah..way out there, but in "Mutation City", did anyone notice how Razor and T-Bone go to MegaKat Biochemical Labs to get the anti-mutagen required for Doc Konway, and rather than have the substance in a single tank, it's actually in two separate ones? I think this is because the chemical is what they call a "binary" - a term left over from NBCW weaponry from the fifties. They used to (and likely still do in some countries) put two separate containers of different substances into the nosecone of a missile or artillery shell, harmless by themselves, but when combined upon weapon delivery would mix and create all manner of nasty nerve agents or other toxicological nasties. I think the Kat writers had this in mind for the scene, as in "Giant Bacteria", Megakat Biochemical is rather obviously a Military facility (not too many civvy labs I know are defended by laser cannons....). _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

In any event, to break the mold, here's a few comments on some stuff: Mach 5 -- Evidently I'm not the only one who's been having problems with the Turbokat's speed and performance. I showed a friend (not on this list) the episode "When Strikes Mutilor," and his comment was that there was no way the Turbokat could perform the way it did in outer space. I don't remember what his exact argument was, but I trust his judgment. After all, he *does* happen to work for an aeospace company. Kats mirror site -- I'd offer to put up my ftp site on netcom as a mirror, but ftp.netcom.com tends to be frequently overloaded, so anonymous login is rather difficult to accomplish (it *can* be done, but a lot of times you gotta be extremely lucky). SK figurines -- I've found SK figurines galore of T-Bone and Razor in the Toys R Us up in Sacramento, but no sightings of either Dark Kat or Doctor Viper. BTW, does anyone know if the Turbokat ever came out as an action figure?

Strangely, the Turbokat was one of the first things intended by H-B for the toy-line (they were going to have a version that the ac-figures could fit inside), but Tedco didn't make it a priority for Remco to produce, and none were made. I've seen pics of the box that the thing would've come in, and you can bet they would've sold a pile. You can make some alterations to the basic F-14 model and come up with a reasonable Turbokat - the reference pages in the "Toon" article are the best for modification blueprints. _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

Anyway, before I declare open-season on Mr. Potamkin and his e-mail address, would everyone give me a couple of days to get some answers from the guy the polite and politically sensitive way? Christian Tremblay also left a message on my machine saying that he received my 200 odd pages of stuff downloaded from the net, and I'd like to be able to tell him Potamkin's version of events before we all collectively piss Potamkin off (which is only fair, he pissed us off...).

THE PASTMASTER ALWAYS RINGS TWICE Airdates: September 11/12, 1993 Written by Glenn Leopold When two grave robbers accidentally free the Pastmaster from his 800-year imprisonment, he steals his "Tome of Time" spellbook from the Megakat City Museum of History and attempts to change the metropolis back to the Dark Ages form he prefers. The wicked wizard summons dinosaurs through a magical "time vortex" to act as his bodyguards, one of whom knocks the SWAT Kats through the portal into the prehistoric era. Can our heroes fight their way past the dinosaurs, return to the present and stop the Pastmaster before time runs out? This may have been chosen as SWAT Kats' premiere episode because its use of dinosaurs was very timely in the wake of "Jurassic Park". It's okay, but not the best possible introduction to the series. "B" Trivia: 1. Most SWAT Kats episodes are preceded with a clip of an action scene from the story, with Razor's voice saying "Today on SWAT Kats...". Since "Pastmaster..." was the first episode aired, it has a different beginning, intended to introduce the series, in which Razor narrates a brief overview of the SWAT Kats format over an assortment of clips (all from "The Giant Bacteria", except for one close-up of the Pastmaster from this episode). Appearances: Dr. Abby Sinian has a strong supporting role in this episode. (ed. note: "Bacteria" was actually the first ep in the series, but "Pastmaster" aired first). 2. THE GIANT BACTERIA Airdates: September 18/19 , 1993 Written by Glenn Leopold Dr. Viper turns his fellow evildoer Morbulus (Jim Cummings) into the title creature, which then goes on a predictable rampage through Megakat City (and inconveniently divides into two anytime it's hit). Viper's reason for creating the monster is so it can break into the "impenetrable" Megakat Biochemical Labs and steal a chemical he wants (Oh well, he's a mad scientist -- his evil plots don't have to be logical.) This was the first SWAT Kats to be completed, and it's worth watching because it sets up many of the show's key elements. Unfortunately, it's also the series most violent and horrific episode. After Morbulus' agonizing transformation, the bacteria monster(s) eat a farmer and his cow, Viper's old colleague Dr. Zyme (Paul Eiding), and -- in a shocking scene I can't believe the censors allowed -- ate a subway car full of passengers. Yes, SWAT Kats is a violent show where characters sometimes die (often for no compelling dramatic reason), but "Bacteria" goes way too far. Therefore, I must make an example of it. "D+" (ed. note: Mark is very anti-violence, and I personally felt this "letter grade" rather unwarranted. "Bacteria" was the episode concept that the Tremblay Bros. used to sell the show, and versions of the Turbokat and the Kat guys escaping an early form of "Bacteria" are featured on many of the early pre-production posters). Musings: 1. There is one good thing about this episode -- an amusing scene where Chance moons over Callie when she brings her car to Jake & Chance's garage. 2. "Bacteria" also wastes a potentially good villain by killing off Morbulus as soon as he's introduced. Morbulus is even given a distinctive shtick -- he literally has eyes in the back of his head, which gives him 360 degree vision. This is presumably so all the bacteria monsters (there are eventually three) can have eyes after they divide. Trivia: Morbulus was originally called Oculus, but it was discovered that there had already been a "Fantastic Four" villain with that name. As a result, all the original dialogue featuring the name "Oculus" had to be re-dubbed. 3. THE WRATH OF DARK KAT Airdates: September 25/26, 1993 Written by Jim Stenstrum When Dark Kat steals the material for a homemade nuclear bomb to destroy Megakat City, neither the SWAT Kats nor the Enforcers can break through his defenses. Commander Feral tries to sneak aboard Dark Kat's ship ( a plan even he admits is "desperate and stupid") and quickly gets captured. The ambitious Lt. Steele (Hal Rayle), Feral's yuppie scum aide-de-camp, would rather advance his career than rescue his boss, so it's up to the SWAT Kats to save both Feral and Megakat City. A suspenseful, exciting episode, but what makes it special is a flashback sequence that shows as much of the SWAT Kats' origin as we're ever likely to see -- which is why this should have been the first episode broadcast. "A" Appearances: Burke & Murray appear in the flashback. 4. DESTRUCTIVE NATURE Airdates: October 2/3, 1993 Written by Lance Falk The 300-storey Megakat Tower office building is aobut to open for business, but its first tenant is a most unwelcome one: Dr. Viper, who seizes the structure with his army of monstrous, acid-spitting "plantimals". He places a huge "spore pod" on top of the penthouse; when it explodes, it'll cover Megakat City with spoers, turning the metropolis into the "Megaswamp City" of Viper's fantasies. Obviously, the SWAT Kats can't allow this. While T-Bone runs interference in the TurboKat, Razor sneaks into the building and tries to stop Viper -- with the help of Callie Briggs, who happened to be in the tower when it was taken. Like the "Outer Limits" classic "Demon With a Glass Hand" (which also concerns a man and a woman trapped inside an office building fighting evil attackers), this is a vibrant, briskly paced thriller that increases the tension by restricting much of the action to a confined space. this is also Dr. Viper's best solo appearance; he's almost funny as he continually tells his grotesquely mutated creations how "beautiful" they are. "A+" Appearances: Mr. Young's debut is in the is episode. Mayor Manx tries to persuade him to house his corporate headquarters in Megakat Tower; of course, the less-than-civic-minded Viper ruins Manx's plans. Lance Falk: Falk was a unit head for H-B's art department who wanted to get into writing (he'd previously done four spec scripts for "Star Trek: The Next Generation"). He was also one of the artists who attended the SWAT Kats developement meetings. Davis Doi (who had worked with Falk on "Capitol Critters") allowed him to pitch ideas for SWAT kats, all of which Doi liked, and "Destructive Nature" became Falk's first produced script (and the first of six SWAT kats episodes Falk would write). "I wanted to do a "Die-Hard" type thing. Originally I didn't have Dr. Viper, I had a different villain -- I called him Leiter Greenbox (a name Falk re-used in "Chaos in Crystal" and "Unlikely Alloys"). In Falk's early outline, Greenbox creates the plantimals, who go berserk and cause an accident that turns him into a half-plant/half-kat creature, but the plot is otherwise similar to the finished episode. "Davis said, 'We've already got a mad scientist -- just make it Dr. Viper.' It made more sense to me --yeah, bring the guy back". After the episode aired, Falk learned of some unusual interpretations. "Somebody told me after the show was on, 'Man, that show was so dirty! You have this big, tall building, like this phallic symbol, and then this big thing that's going to explode on top of it and spread seed all over the city'. When I was writing it, it never occurred to me, but now I can't NOT see it like that". 5. THE METALLIKATS Airdates: October 9/10, 1993 Written by Jim Stenstrum for the first time since their posthumous "complete makeover", The Metallikats are back in Megakat City and planning to "tear up this town like a scratching post!" However, Mac and Molly's first priority is "rubbing out that crud Mayor Manx", because they think he denied their parole. It's mayhem in the mayor's office as the SWAT Kats fight to save both Manx and Callie from the mean machines. This is a SWAT Kats classic, thanks largely to the villains, who play their unique shtick (Bonnie&Clyde meet Al and Peg Bundy -- as robots) to the hilt. Valiant Callie also gets a powerful moment when she tells the Manges that she, not the Mayor, denied their parole ("Manx hasn't done an ounce of paperwork around here for years!") -- and almost pays for it with her life. "A+" Musings: The theme of villains returning from the dead and seeking revenge was used often on SWAT Kats. Other variations on the theme include "The Pastmaster Always Rings Twice", "The Ghost Pilot", "Enter the Madkat" and "The Origin of Dr. Viper". (ed. note: "The Pastmaster Always Rings Twice" is a play on words in regards to the title of an old flick that parents of younger folks may remember - "The Postman Always Rings Twice").

Well, MacBeth's castle in Gargoyles had that sort of firepower. And he had his own Harriers too :) Binary agents are relatively new, BTW. The catch is that it's harder to come up with the two components separately than it is to make the finished nerve agent.

Doc Konway labelled one of his creations (in RL) "Katalyst 99" or similar...that's probably about as close an answer respecting their actual composition that you're going to get. It's odd how MegaKat Biochemical seems to exist for no other reason than to create purposeless Mutagens for Dr. Viper and Dark Kat to steal...though in "Origin of Dr. Viper", Dr. Zyme and Dr. Elrod Purvis are actually toiling away on something useful that ended _up_ being a Mutagen as an accident. "Mutation City" was a rather horrific exercise in science run-amok - and Megakat Biochemical ended up being both the cause, and the cure!

Actually, in the original model sheets for the Turbokat at Hanna-Barbera (drawn by an amazing artist named Butch Hartman), actually points out that the TK has swing-wings - even going so far as to annotate the drawing for the storyboard artists encouraging them to make sure that the TK has "fully swept" mode drawn for high-speed flight, and the fully extended config for low-altitude/speed stuff. I'll post the model sheet up to /incoming (now that Rat's back from the fur-con). >Pilots are like that, but do note that dents and imperfections add >drag, and become hot spots at high-speed flight.

But anyway, there are a lot of compounds in my lab which while they have their synthetic uses, are known mutagens. They even carry bright and garish warning labels that say "MUTAGEN!" So perhaps the materials the Kat scientists come up with are not specifically meant to be mutagens, but just have that property, which Dr. Viper can exploit.

Yes, the web page is much easier to get into and look around. However, you need to log into the ftp site if you want to put files into the /incoming directory.

"Swatkats" is a swearword at Turnerco. You can get screengrabs from various episodes, fanfic, unused scripts, a half-completed episode guide, drawings and so forth from the SwatKats site, "rat.org". Just ftp to rat.org and have a look through the directory /pub/kats. I've got some unreleased pics too, but I'm kind of in a rut as to how to get them scanned. _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

This is my first attempt at writing a story that is not for school, so send me what you think, OK? This is only the first part, so it may seem sorta "cut off." TITLE SUBJECT TO CHANGE!!!! "Odd Circumstnces" PART ONE: Megakat City, 20083 The odd looking contraption in the Werekats yard didn't merit any attention from the passing drivers. Their last name was often ridiculed, but the Werekats were most likely the most respected family in Megakat City. The three youngest of the kittens, Amber, Jinx, and Flute stood there, readying themselves to test their device. Jinx pushed the button. There was a blinding flash. Megakat City, present Callie stood in line for the market. Why were these lines so long? A blinding flash filled the area. When the light faded, everyone could see three kittens standing at where the center of the light had been. The smallest one, a girl with one green and one blue eye, longish dark brown-red hair, and silvery fur spoke first. "WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!!!! That was cool!! Where are we???!" She took off, running, barely missed by the two older kittens. She ran right under a woman's arm. "S'cuse me, lady!" Then she crashed into the wall of a vuilding, she obviously hadn't known it was there. She lay on her back for a few mintes, blinking dazedly at the sky. She stiffened. "Whoa! I can actually see bad weather!! Jinx! Amber!! Lookit the sky!!!!" For a while, all three gazed at the sky like it was unfamillier to them. Enforcer cars started pulling up. Felina walked over to the kittens who were still amazed by the sky. "Who are you three?" she asked. Flute looked at her, blinking mis-matched eyes. She pointed to herself, then the boy, then the girl. "My name's Fianna Werekat, but I'm called Flute. That's my brother Jinx, and that's my sister Amber. Who are you?" Without waiting for a answer, she did a backwords flip and vanished into thin air!! TO BE CONTINUED....MAYBE Again, please tell me what you think. Should I drop it or continue?

THE END OF THE SWAT KATS By: A.J. Freda ACT 1: T-Bone and Razor wake up to the sound of the distress alarm. T-bone answers the phone. Callie says "SWAT Kats, come quick! Ted Turner is trying to cancel you and the city!!!" The SWAT Kats jump into action, into the TurboKat, and they're off to MegaKat City. ACT 2: When they arrive, they find Ted Turner (A giant TEDdy bear) destroying the city. Razor gets a lock on him, and fires an Octopus missle. Ted grabs the missle and flings it back at the jet. T-Bone just barely dodges it. Razor tries to unsew Ted and fires pincer missles. The missles rip Ted to shreds. Then suddenly, he puts himself back together! Ted fires his cancelling beam (when someone gets hit by it, they dissappear) at the TurboKat. Ted fires many rounds. T-Bone is able to dodge all of them. Razor fires a proto-type missle he's been working on, it's a lulla-bye missle. The missle plays lullabyes to get Ted to go beddy-bye, but Ted crushes the missle. Ted then fires his cancelling beam at the city. The city dis's left is him and the SWAT Kats. Then Ted lights a cancelling atom bomb and splits. The TurboKat goes at the speed of heat to try to get away, but the bomb goes off and cancells them...... ACT 3: All that's left are the fans of the SWAT Kats. They are inventing a de-cancellation beam to bring back the SWAT Kats. All they have to do is bang Ted Turner over the head with it........ A.J.

What a day! First there was the normal humdrum of an ordinary day,then the blinding flash, the kitten trio, and the youngest's vanishment. From behind them a throat was cleared. All turned to see the kitten Flute seated on the hood of Callie's car. She cocked her head to one side and looked innocently at them. "Is there something wrong?" She asked sweetly. Two hours, one yelling match with Amber, and three headaches later, all three of the Werekat kittens sat in the lobby of Enforcer headquarters. Flute looked indiginant, Amber looked tired, and Jinx looked bored. Leiutanant Westly Dropclaw was trying to get answers out of them, only to recive obscure ones if they did. If, like they claimed, they were born in the late 20070's, they wouldn't even have been born yet! Yet they stubbornly stuck to their story of when they were born. Westly had served the Enforcers for twnety years, and should have been retired already. But he was still at it, and going strong. The threesome, however wouldn't co-operate and sit still. The two elders ran around and poked into private stuff, and little Flute sat with her arms crossed and gave poor Westly the most obscure answers she could think of. Felina returned, carrying some papers. For a few minetes, they confurred, ignoring the kittens. Flute got her birthday present from her mother: a tiny super-computer with built-in modem. The tiny creature hooked herself up and began to find out as much as possible about the past they had been thrown into. Megakat City, 20083 Celia Werekat looked up from her book. Where her three youngest had been playing thirty minetes ago, nobody stood. On no. Not again! Hurrying to the kitchen, she found the oldest tinkering with the toaster. "Tim, where are the triplets?" she asked, dreading the answer. Tim shrugged. "Testing something. Why?" Celia paled. "They're gone again." Tim snapped his head up and followed his nearly-running mother. The LAST time those three had vanished, they had come back chased by a Megasauras Rex. They managed to send it back, but there was nothing they could do about the giant footstep it had left on their lawn. Not again!

The last thing I heard out of there before I got taken off the Christmas-card list was that the WPT "Shake and Flick" was about to become H-B's next series. Um, yeah. I'm still waiting for Buzz Potamkin to answer a few things, he might have some suggestions for pissed off fans. Also, I couldn't get the Tremblay Bros during the day Friday, so I'll try ask them a thing or two about Kat futures when I do eventually get them. My fax needs a part, so those waiting for the TurboKat and Felina pics will have to wait until next week some time - unless rat.org already has an example of each... >>What is there left to do? >Act like parasites and keep bugging him like a little kid who wants >something REAL REAL bad. :) That'll work - though the Sonic fans have been doing much the same thing - just not as loudly. Letter writing is the only way that H-B/Turnerco will hear any of us - they're not watching any newsgroups save for rec.arts.animation, and have avoided posting _anything_ from Turner.com since the last witch-hunt finished. The fact that alt.tv.swatkats hasn't had anything but Spam in it for weeks probably hasn't helped their perception of the number of Kat-fans that actually _do_ exist either...maybe those of us doing fanfic would like to post it to a.t.s.k. as well? _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe we should cross-post everything from the mail-list to the newsgroup (sans some of the more "non-public" info). Unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about the spam. A lot of newsgroups are getting hit with it. I read an interesting article in the latest TV Guide. An interview with Steven Spielberg. One particular question goes like this: TVG: A lot of kids' shows are criticized for being nothing more than half-hour commercials for toys. How do you separate yourself from producers who are in it just for that? S.S.: Tiny Toons, Freakazoid!, and Animaniacs were obviously never intended to sell merchandise because we have not put out a lot of merchandise, other than T-shirts and cups. Believe me, it's not beneath me at all. I mean, if there were a really great adventure show with superheroes and vehicles and weapons out there that I could get my chops around, I would merchandise the heck out of it. But I'm not really interested in the adventure game genre as much as I'm interested in social humor. Hmm.. maybe we need to get Steven's email address! -Matt From owner-kats@bort.mv.net Mon Oct 30 01:54:24 1995 Received: (majordomo@localhost) by bort.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-951016) id BAA02004 for kats-ll; Mon, 30 Oct 1995 01:41:02 -0500 Received: from maroon.tc.umn.edu (root@maroon.tc.umn.edu [128.101.118.21]) by bort.mv.net (8.6.10/mv(b)/mem-951016) with SMTP id BAA01999 for ; Mon, 30 Oct 1995 01:40:59 -0500 Received: by maroon.tc.umn.edu; Mon, 30 Oct 95 00:40:13 -0600 Message-Id: <3094734d6b2d002@maroon.tc.umn.edu> Date: Mon, 30 Oct 95 00:40:13 -0600 From: Timothy D Fay To: kats@bort.mv.net Subject: Re: The fanzine Content-Length: 687 Sender: owner-kats@bort.mv.net Precedence: bulk Reply-To: kats@bort.mv.net > Could I make a submission?

Sender: owner-kats@bort.mv.net Precedence: bulk Reply-To: kats@bort.mv.net Yep. Just call me "Fanboy!" I talked to Christian Tremblay last night for a while, and here's a few things to pass on. Starting, I think, tomorrow - there are four "SwatKats" watches to be found in stores like K-Mart, Target, Toys R Us etc. These are very much kiddie-type things, each with either Razor, T-Bone, Turbokat (and one more - my notes aren't legible..), but probably still a "must" for anyone trying to collect everything. Okay, H-B stuff. Christian says that relations with Hanna-Barbera/Turnerco have soured the point that "we don't talk much", and Christian brought up the infamous Mark Hughes in Classics (you remember, the "fan-mail" guy) before I did - saying that "I wasn't impressed with that Mark-something-guy, he's a... !..." Wonderful. So much for fan-support at H-B. Renewal? Don't hold your breath, but apparently even H-B recognizes that the show is an instant "Classic" (whatever the hell _that_ means), and even Christian wasn't about to discount the possiblity of something happening with the Kats in the future - I suppose it's up to us letter-writers to ensure the "future" happens sooner rather than later. Next biz. The "contest" for original Kats artwork is finally happening. Christian's got an original piece of Kats artwork, signed and mounted, ready to give away in a random draw which is open to all Katfans worldwide. I posted the details to some of the appropriate newsgroups, and I'll copy it over here tonight as soon as it shows up on my newsreader. Oh yeah, last thing. The bros. are now at Film-Roman (you know, "Mighty Max", "Garfield" "Felix the Surrealistic Cat"), and have just wrapped up a new action-adventure series, details unknown, and are making _sure_ that Mattel has the toy deal sewn up _prior_ to the first air-date; something Turnerco refused to allow with Kats. They also have a second series in development at F-R, described as "fairly cute and fuzzy". I honestly have no further details on either, should anyone be tempted to put me under the bright light and ask! Well, that was fun. Watch for the "contest" post. (and I see we're starting to get fanfic - cool! I haven't gotten around to reading any of it yet , but I should catch up later if anyone really cares...) _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

Captain Plunder is married to the darling of the Viet-Nam vets - Jane Fonda - and a Warners friend wrote a killer parody concerning Ted, his lithium dependence, two Turner Programming Services execs, and Jane's workout bag. Heh. It wasn't nice. The only address I have to reach The Ted (or the little woman, presumably) is the CNN Center one in Atlanta. We're all still waiting to see what happens in the new corporate arrangement with Time Warner before starting to determine exactly who is responsible for SwatKats and Hanna-Barbera. Jane might wear the pants in that particular household (leaving the dresses for Ted?), but even she might be out of the loop if TWC "takes over" in some fashion. If you want the Turner address, e-mail me. _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

I suggested this earlier to Dana when he was list-admin, and he shot it down for what were likely quite valid reasons at the time. I'll go on record and say I personally thing it's a great idea, but responses posted by the great unwashed will _NOT_ wind their way into the list unless forwarded here by a list member who also reads a.t.s.k. (i.e. - manual anti-spam/anti-troll control). Unless there are any strenuous objections, I'm going to make enquiries of Rat to see if there's something in software to allow such a thing on the server. There might be some concerns about people not wanting their stuff "in public", but if you stop to think about it, this list is "public" after a fashion; anyone can sign up! Besides, it will help a.t.s.k. and list-membership immensely, methinks. >I read an interesting article in the latest TV Guide.

SS and SwatKats would go together like paw-in-glove! I've dropped hints at Warners, and all my Kat-whining over the year has been crossed to alt.tv.animaniacs as well, so who knows? If Warners gets control over H-B to some degree, maybe they'll sift through the owned properties and decide to reactivate Kats to flesh out the Kids WB? I'll ask someone I know about The Steven's address at either Amblin or Dreamworks...he rarely pokes his nose into WBA and leaves the day-to-day stuff pretty much to Ruegger. Kids WB will likely be looking for mid-season replacements after November sweeps kills of "Earthworm Jim" and "Freakazoid" (that's a guess folks, not a fact) - maybe I could suggest the 'Kats now that they're "part of the family"? _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.

If anyone missed the first and second parts, e-me and I'll send it to you. Also, please check out my "Day and Night" series. Megakat City, present Flute slouched in her seat. Felina and Westly asked them some of the normal quetions, and left them alone with stirct orders to stay put. Yeah right. Like someone with Flute's nature would stay put longer than three minuetes. Glancing around, the kitten was up and at the door in a flash. Amber looked up. "Flute, you get back here right now! When those adults return, I'll tell...." she whined as Flute shot her a glare. "Shhhh...Amber, I don't care if I have to face the firing squad for leaving!! You listen to me, Amber. I'm going exploring. This'll be better than a history lesson!!" Jinx hopped up. "Count me in, sis. I hate waiting around." Amber glared at them and sullenly got up and followed them. "We're gonna get in trouble.." she whined, trying to change their minds. No use. They easily slipped past the guard and ran downtown, using the map Flute had downloaded as a guide. Megakat City, 20083 Celia wrung her hands. How were they going to get back this time? Knowing her children as well as she did, Celia knew they wouldn't think about it much at first, but when night came, they would be lost and alone. At times like this, Celia wanted to both teach them a lesson by leaving them there, and try to help them as a mother should. As always, the motherly side of her won the debate. Now they had to try to find a way to get them back. There was only one glich. No one knew just WHERE in time the trio had gone. Megakat Salvage Yard, present Jake and Chance had finished the last part of the last obstacle of the last course. Both were pretty much exhausted, so when they heard the sound of little kittens talking form somewhere in the yard, they groaned. They felt tired enough already, and now they would have to go deal with the imps and send them home. The voices of the kittens sounded vaugely familier, and when they saw the kittens themselves, they recognized them as the three that had sent downtown into an uproar earlier that day. Jake called out to them. "Who are you? What are you doing here, and where are your parents? Do they even know what you've been doing?" Amber turned in panic. She had known something like this would happen! Now where was Flut? It wasn't fair that she left anytime there was trouble! Jake, meanwhile, heard, next to his shoulder, a girl's voice answer his questions. "We're the triplets of the Werekat clan. We got lost looking for a fast-food joint, and, if I'm right, our parents haven't even been born yet. Try our great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great granparents, maybe." Both mechanics turned to see Flut sitting on the hood of an old car, like she had before, her head cocked. She looked at them in mock bewilderment and grinned. "I didn't do it, okay?"

Well, if Ted would care to count the sixty people on my "SwatKats" mailing list, the many Katsfans among the Internet newsgroups, and all those that took the time to write Kats fan mail to H-B - I think you'll find that we are also a sizable "focus group" ourselves...and we're all clamoring for more "SwatKats"; not more "Shake and Flick", not more WPT's, and _certainly_ not more "Captain Planet". A number of individuals on Internet have written you guys concerning the Kats with no answers forthcoming - maybe you could kick this as far "upstairs" as it can go, and maybe have someone capable of speaking for TPS explain why they cancelled a program with so many viewers - and why the last three episodes aren't slated for completion when it's plainly obvious that the viewer interest is there. Most Entertainment Entities realize that every fan-letter received actually represents the views of many, many more individuals of a similar mindset. Is Turner a bit slow to recognize what Warners, Disney, Film Roman and Fox have known for years - or don't the consumers of the product count for anything in the South? Looking forward to the response. (Apologies if this is a major downer to those reading all this stuff as part of their appointed rounds, but the clowns at TPS who canned the program pissed off a _lot_ of people. I've personally spoken to upwards of 100). _____________________________________________________________ "I'm on the Internet...sometimes every day.
