     From the H-B "Style Guide" comes something interesting about the
"Dead Head Missile" that you see briefly on the floor in the "Evil
SwatKats" hangar scene (you know, the ones with the 'skull' for a nosecone?).
This missile was originally intended to be a standard part of the
Turbokat's arsenal for use by our 'Kat guys, and not their Evil counterparts.

     The original "Dead-Head" is described like this:

        "Even messier than the cement gun! These smart missiles can hit a
         Megakat ne'er-do-well with a gooey blob of tar sticky enough to
         immobilize the slipperiest of fiends!"

     When you look at the bottom of the page and see a villian smeared
with the tar, you realize that this missile evolved into something a
little less visually frightening for use in "When Strikes Mutilor" - the
"Tar Head Missile".
