SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron

Encyclopedia : S : SW : SWA : SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron

SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron was a Hanna-Barbera American animated television series created by Christian and Yvon Tremblay, that ran in syndication from 1993 to 1995, when it was cancelled. There were a total of twenty-three finished episodes. There were also three unfinished episodes, and a special (Kat's Eye News Special Report).

The show was based in the fictional metropolis of Megakat City, which is populated almost entirely by anthropomorphic felines, known as "kats".

Chance "T-Bone" Furlong and Jake "Razor" Clawson were members of Megakat City's paramilitary force, the Enforcers. While in pursuit of the villanous Dark Kat, the two rebelled against Enforcer Commander Feral's orders to fall back and leave Dark Kat to him. The altercation resulted in Dark Kat's escape and Chance and Jake's jet crashing into Enforcer headquarters. Because of the accident, they were discharged from the force by Commander Feral and were required to work at a salvage yard to pay for their damages. Using junk from the salvage yard, they build an advanced jet fighter called the Turbokat (resembling an F-14, with different color schemes and a third engine) and patrol Megakat City as the SWAT Kats.

T-Bone and Razor keep their identities secret. Their methods do not endear them to Commander Feral, a brave and resourceful character in his own right.

SWAT Kats briefly returned to Cartoon Network February 13 2006, airing on Cartoon Network at 2:30 PM Eastern, with several of the season 1 episodes being shown in no particular order. However, as of February 21 2006, Ozzy & Drix aired at 2:30 PM Eastern and SWAT Kats is not currently listed on Cartoon Network's official schedule, indicating SWAT Kats only returned to Cartoon Network for one week. The reason for SWAT Kats very brief and unannounced return to Cartoon Network is unknown at this time.
