ThunderCats IN SPACE but make it METAL — literally.
The next generation of superheroes has arrived... SILVERHAWKS. They fly on silver winds - they fight with nerves of steel. Partly metal...partly real. Born of a time beyond time, they are the SILVERHAWKS. They sacrificed their human bodies, modified to withstand the stress of their long journey through space to a distant galaxy. Sent there to defend the universe against the terrible MonStar and his intergalactic mod. SILVERHAWKS - the first super androids with the minds of men and the muscles of machines.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rankin/Bass made this after ThunderCats success, using the same animation studio in Japan that would later produce Pokémon. Same metal bird energy!
The 'partly metal, partly real' slogan was legally risky — toy companies had to prove the show wasn't just a half-hour commercial. It absolutely was.
