I'd ask why they were mice instead of animals associated with being tough for the space biker thing (like alligators or some big dog breeds), but I'd ask the same question if TMNT or Usagi Yojimbo came out today. Biker Mice, Street Sharks and Mighty Ducks were the big ones that rode on TMNT's success, or at least took a lot of inspiration from it. SWAT Kats is great, but I'm not sure I'd put it in the same box as those TMNT clones. Most of the threads devolve into Callie Briggs cheesecake and die pretty quick, though.
Maybe that'll change if that new series finally gets greenlit.>>120515948There was a later show?
