History YMMV / SilverHawks

* TheScrappy:
** For some viewers, Copper Kid. He's not halfway as bad as other token children in other shows, though.
** Seymour and Zeke the Beak may fit the definition more, though for what it's worth they're nowhere near as annoying as Snarf and Snarfer from ''WesternAnimation/{{ThunderCats|1985}}''.

* FridgeBrilliance: Why do the Silverhawks fight only the Mob? In "No More Mr. Nice Guy" Mon*Star hears that the Space Bandit, Rhino and Cyclops are forming their own Mob and heads down to Fence to let them know there's only one Mob in Limbo: his. Mon*Star most likely did the same to every other criminal in Limbo.

* NightmareFuel: "The Illusionist" a hypnotized Hotwing restrains the SilverHawks, puts them in a giant water tank and leaves them to drown.

* TearJerker: Yes-Man shedding tears in "Uncle Rattler", when Mon*Star lets the SilverHawks take Rattler into custody.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdtcK1Qs2K4 The theme song]] -- especially the guitar solo by Bluegrass.

* CultClassic: The series is best remembered for being "That show that wasn't WesternAnimation/ThunderCats."

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The series was (and some people might argue it still is) ''HUGE'' in latin america, specially Mexico. It isn't rare seeing whole conventions stop for a couple of seconds if the theme starts playing only to sing along to it.

* WildCard: Seymour. He's basically a TrueNeutral version of this trope. While he'd make runs for the Silverhawks in his taxi, usually for payment, he'd also provide taxi service for the mob. Above all, he's more concerned with [[OnlyInItForTheMoney making a living]] and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere saving his own hide]] rather than taking sides between the two factions.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: Steelheart, [[AmazonianBeauty for obvious reasons]].

* HilariousInHindsight: The Silverhawks try to add human racial diversity in later members, but in truth the Mob is probably your better model for diversity albeit in a fantastical way. But either way through a modern lens the mob looks a lot more accepting to members than the silverhawks are.

* FridgeHorror: When you stop and think about it, the Silverhawks gave up a good chunk of their physical humanity in order to become the heroes that they are. Being a kids 80s show this could be seen as AngstWhatAngst at play, thus the obvious BodyHorror is not really touched on.
