Every episode of the series was directed by Robert Alvarez. The bulk of the series was written by Glenn Leopold (13 episodes) and Lance Falk (6 episodes). Jim Stenstrum contributed two episodes, while David Ehrman, Von Williams, Eric Clark (with Lance Falk), Mark Saraceni and Jim Katz all contributed one episode. Lance Falk's ideas were usually very ambitious and very inventive and this usually met with the studio executives telling him to change his ideas to something more simple, such as making the Aquians "kat" aliens instead of humans in "The Fall of Jacob Doughty"[2] or to cut out entire characters and subplots, such as making Commander Feral the one Turmoil successfully corrupts in "Cry Turmoil".[3]

SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron is a 1993-1994 action cartoon about two anthropomorphic "kats" named T-Bone and Razor, who defend Megakat City in their jet, the Turbokat. Though it only ran for only two seasons, the show was a hit, receiving good reviews and becoming the top syndicated animated show of 1994. Despite this, the show was canceled before its time and in the years since, it has gained a sizable fandom worldwide. A Kickstarter campaign to bring the show back under the new title of SWAT Kats: Revolution was launched by series creators, Christian and Yvon Tremblay, in 2015. In January 2022, the Tremblays announced they had partnered with the India-based Toonz Media Group to bring the show back. While we wait for more details on the revival, let's look back at some of the best episodes of SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron.
The Pastmaster finds an ancient headdress that allows him to revive a pyramid and its residents: giant kat mummies with laser guns. He orders the mummies to destroy Megakat City, and it's up to the SWAT Kats to stop him. This time, they have a little help. Professor Hackle, feeling guilty about creating the Metallikats, gives the Swat Kats a robot companion named Cybertron to help out. This is one of the best animated episodes in the show. The mummies prove to be incredibly tough opponents and give our heroes, as T-Bone puts it, "a bad vehicle day," as both the Turbokat and the Cyclotron take heavy damage. Even the Enforcers, who are almost always outclassed by the SWAT Kats, get a moment to shine once the SWAT Kats share the secret of beating the mummies with them. Cybertron was supposed to come back in a future episode, but the show was canceled before that episode was produced.
The second episode of the second season sees the Pastmaster bring the SWAT Kats into a nightmarish future, where the Metallikats rule Megakat City (now called Metallikat City), have enslaved all non-robots, and the future SWAT Kats are dead. The Metallikats show their gratitude to the Pastmaster (he's the one who helped them take over the city) by... betraying him and stealing his magic watch. Now it's up to the SWAT Kats to not only liberate the city, but return to their own time. The future city is animated beautifully. The show received a new animation style for its second season and this episode really shows it off. It's easily a top-tier SWAT Kats episode.
Warner Bros put the same end credits (The credits of The Metallikats) for first season. And the credits for A Bright and Shiny Future for most episodes of second season. And other episodes of second season has credits of end credits of The Metallikats. Check the voice credits for Second Season as an example. And the visual quality on DVD is poor too. 2ff7e9595c
