[edit] Plot

When the SWAT Kats' arch-nemesis Dark Kat steals the material for a homemade nuclear bomb to destroy Megakat City, neither the SWAT Kats nor the Enforcers can break through his defensive forcefield. Commander Feral tries to sneak aboard Dark Kat's ship to defeat Dark Kat and retrieve the stolen parts, but quickly gets captured. The ambitious Lt. Steel (Hal Rayle), Feral's slimy second-in-command, would rather advance his career than rescue his boss, so it is up to the SWAT Kats to save both Feral and Megakat City. In the middle of the episode, there is a flashback illustrating how Chance and Jake used to be members of the Enforcers, and while pursuing Dark Kat the first time with Commander Feral, cause considerable damage to Enforcer Headquarters. They are subsequently kicked out of the Enforcers and are forced to take a job at the Megakat City Salvage Yard to pay for the damage. There they use old airplane and engine parts to create the Turbokat and officially become the SWAT Kats.

[edit] Missiles/Gadgets

The following missiles and gadgets appear in this episode:

  • Baby-Boomer Missile
  • Glovatrix
  • Mole Missile

  • X-Ray Beam

[edit] Production Notes

  • Though the episode serves as an origin story, it was not broadcast as the first episode due to not having enough excitement. The Pastmaster Always Rings Twice was chosen instead, also due to the fact that the episode contained dinosaurs, which were extremely popular following the release of Jurassic Park that summer.
