On the most recent episode of Cartoon Network’s new ThunderCats series, entitled Legacy, a character from another classic 80’s cartoon makes a quick cameo on a video screen… Mon Star, the villain from SilverHawks. Is this a simple tribute, or a cleverly placed hint at things to come?? Could we see the SilverHawks show up on ThunderCats, or perhaps get a series reboot of their own??
Don’t remember the SilverHawks?? Here’s the intro from that show:
Saw it and was really amazed.
A reboot has to be hoped !
And i think the shark guy is a tribute to the “Tiger Sharks”.

I shit my pants when I saw Monstar’s face! I hope we get to see the Silverhawks in Thundercats and then maybe there own reboot which would take place within the Thundercats Universe!
they also showed a Tigershark from TIGERSHARKS…another 80s cartoon with the same voice actors and stuff
The tigersharks are there too, a whole lot of them. DANG! How does Monstar tie into this new series though? Oh well, maybe there’s gonna be a collabo between all the baddies, then we’ll have a 2hr special – 80s Heros Unite!
tigersharks i remember them vaguely can someone jog it for me
why the hell is mon star there in thundercats? producers ran out of ideas?
OR cause it’s AWESOME!!
I never saw Tigersharks so I’m shooting in the dark here… But judging by what the stones did in “Legacy” and remembering Monstar’s transformation it might just be a way of merging the three story lines together (since they were all produced by the same company) with out actually having a dreaded crossover episode…. Kind of an homage to the roots of thundercats…. I could be wrong, like i said I never saw Tigersharks so I don’t know if they had a transforming bad guy
there was also a show in the 80’s called the TigerSharks that was very similar to the Thundercats. They looked like the tigersharks in the latest episode.
Man I knew I wasn’t the only one that noticed it….MOON STAR OF LIMBO!! GIVE ME THE MIGHT! THE MUSCLE, THE MENACE OF MON STAAAAR!!!!!
Tigersharks were part of a lesser known cartoon compilation show. They basically got their powers by immersing themselves in some kind of formula that altered their DNA into a combination of human and aquatic creature fighting against an alien invasion of other aquatic aliens. That way you had Land (Thundercats), Sea (TigerSharks), and Air (Silverhawks).
haha, just watched episode 7. had to rewind a bit when i saw monstar, and then a quick google to make sure i wasnt crazy ^^.
What, was it Tigersharks or was it Street Sharks?
Tigersharks was definitely the one done in this style. Street Sharks was a completely different animal (no pun intended).
