1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdtcK1Qs2K4 The theme song]] -- especially the guitar solo by Bluegrass.
2* CultClassic: The series is best remembered for being "That show that wasn't ''WesternAnimation/{{ThunderCats|1985}}''."
3* 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.
4* 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.
5* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: The series was (and some people might argue it still is) ''HUGE'' in Latin America, specially México. It isn't rare seeing whole conventions stop for a couple of seconds if the theme starts playing only to sing along to it.
6* 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.
7* HoYay: Between Commander Stargazer and Condor. There's something rather... affectionate about the way Condor calls Stargazer "Gaze" after all.
8* NightmareFuel: "The Illusionist" a hypnotized Hotwing restrains the [=SilverHawks=], puts them in a giant water tank and leaves them to drown.
9* TearJerker: Yes-Man shedding tears in "Uncle Rattler", when Mon*Star lets the [=SilverHawks=] take Rattler into custody.
