[edit] The Matallikats
Mac and Molly Mange are two gansters turned robots in the animated television show SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron. Originally the leaders of a large mob in Megakat City, Mac and Molly are a dangerous husband/wife crime team. After being arrested and sent to Alkatraz Island, they attempted to escape and get revenge on Mayor Manx for denying their parole. However, a steamer ship ran over their rowboat during their escape, and they were fatally wounded. They were rescued by Professor Hackle, having their minds and memories transfered into hard drives and given new robotic bodies. Not knowing of the Metallikats past crime sprees, Dr. Hackles left them unsupervised in his lab, allowing them to get their claws on countless weapons and an armored car that Hackle himself had designed and built.
With their new bodies and weapons, Mac and Molly went out to finish what they originally intended to do, get revenge on Manx. But not before trying to kill off their old gang, under the context that they had turned 'traitor' and that Mac and Molly were strong enough now to be their own gang. After that they attacked Manx, only changing targets when Calico "Callie" Briggs confessed that she was the one who denyed their parole. They were thwarted by the SWAT Kats, and ended up in the scrap yard before they were collected by Dr. Hackle. This is presumably their first known encounter with the SWAT Kats, as not much about their past other then their deaths are revealed.
They were later rebuilt and vowed revenge on the SWAT Kats, and also vowed to finish their revenge on Callie Briggs. But a misfortunate chain of events caused their bodies to be destroyed, causing them to steal two large robotic suits, also designed by Dr. Hackle for space exploration. Once again they were defeated by the SWAT Kats. They were then deactivated by Commander Feral.
They were seen later being rebuilt by Dr. Viper and Dark Kat, teaming up to defeat the SWAT Kats. They failed however, and were apparently destroyed when Dark Kat set off a bomb and destroyed their lair. It was later revealed that all four villians survived.
During the second season, Mac and Molly appeared two times. They took over Megakat City in the future with help of the Pastmaster, and renamed it Metallikat City, but thanks to the SWAT Kats, they were captured. Since the Pastmaster returned to the Dark Ages, this future never happened.
Finally, their final appearence was made on the series finale "Unlikely Alloys", where both Mac and Molly try to steal the Megakat City Mint, but were stopped by Commander Feral, Lt. Feral and the SWAT Kats. They later try to rebuilt themselves, using a machine created by Dr. Greenbox, that went insane and assimilated Mac to his giant robot body. Molly helped the SWAT Kats and Greenbox, being assimilated herself too, but when Zed was destroyed, they found out that Mac and Molly were alive, although they were a little different (Molly had some parts of her body replaced by similar parts, and Mac had his head attached to a food processor).

- "So, I ran into a couple of stop signs."
- "It's not just our voices have been changed, Fango."
- "Too late, Mayor. You had your chance to made a deal with us earlier. We're back pride from paroles, but you turned us down."

[edit] Trivia
1. Since they survived after Zed was destroyed, it was logical that both Mac and Molly would come back in a future episode, but since the series was cancelled, this never happened.
2. Athough Mac and Molly are often putting each other down and argueing, it's easy to see that they are deeply in love. This is illustrated when Mac gets worried when Molly is terribly damaged, and when Molly risks her life to save Mac from the robot, Zed. Both happen in the episode, Unlikely Alloys.
3. It's revealed in their first appearnce that Molly had a sister, whom is only mentioned when Mac accidentally drives into or runs over her car.
4. Mac and Molly are the only characters other then the SWAT Kats themselves to know about T-Bone and Razor's secret identities and the location of their secret base after accidentally stumbling on their hanger in the junk yard. Why they kept this information from Dark Kat and Dr. Viper is unknown, possibly because the data was accidentally erased either when they were deactivated or when they were being rebuilt.
