The Metallikats are a team that feature in Swat Kats.

History

The Metallikats were originally husband-and-wife gangster duo Mac and Molly Mange, thought to have been killed while attempting an escape from Alkatraz when their rowboat was hit by a passing ship and sank. However their bodies washed ashore near the home of Professor Hackle. Not knowing who they were, Hackle took the two into his lab and transplanted their brains into robot bodies. They were then responsible for killing Katscratch in cold blood and injured the rest of his gang. Their bodies were found by Professor Hackle's robot servants and their minds were placed into the brains of robots. Molly was initially horrified by the transformation, though Mac soon saw the appeal of their more powerful new forms. Hackle had hoped that his life-saving process would be the start of making amends for his years of weapons development, but regrettably by saving their lives he unleashed them upon Megakat City. Using their new abilities and weapons stolen from Hackle, the two began their new life of crime by attacking their former accomplice Katscratch and his gang. They later pursue a vendetta against Mayor Manx for denying their parole request, though it turned out that Deputy-Mayor Callie Briggs had done it, as the mayor was too 'busy' to handle it. However, the SWAT Kats learned of their activities from Fango, one of Katscratch's gang. (Episode: The Metallikats)

Hackle-now aware of the Metallikats criminal tendencies where he was previously ignorant-intends to reprogram them. He had intended for the pair to serve as his housekeeper and chauffeur, unaware of Mac's terrible driving and Molly's lack of cleanliness. After seeing the Puma-Dyne Macro-Bots Hackle had designed on television, however, the pair escaped, laughing at the professor's intentions. Making their way to the SWAT Kats junkyard to recover their car, they both discovered the secret identities of the SWAT Kats. However, this knowledge was erased when Commander Feral deactivated them in the same episode as Commander Feral quotes "I don't deal with scum" when they offered to reveal the SWAT Kats' identities to him. (Episode: Metal Urgency)

Their remains were later salvaged by the Creeplings when Dark Kat collaborated with Dr. Viper in a plot to eliminate the SWAT Kats. Dark Kat had special collars placed on the Metallikats' necks which gave them a shock when they did not do what Dark Kat said. They were sent to capture Mayor Manx and Callie Briggs which was a success. This ended up drawing the SWAT Kats and Commander Feral to the villains' hideout at an abandoned offshore cannery. When the Metallikats turned against Dark Kat, he discovered that Dr. Viper deactivated the collars. In a battle between the villains, Commander Feral, and the SWAT Kats, the villains were defeated and were thought to have been destroyed. (Episode: Katastrophe)

Later on, the SWAT Kats followed the Pastmaster into a future where the villain had reassembled the Metallikats and had taken over the robots. The Metallikats, however, turned on the Pastmaster and stole his watch. With help from Commander Feral, Felina Feral, Professor Hackle, and the Pastmaster, the SWAT Kats defeated the Metallikats as the Pastmaster reclaimed his watch, and in the end, erased this possible future. (Episode: A Bright and Shiny Future)

Overview

In appearance, the Metallikats were a pair of female and male robots that contained the minds of notorious gangsters Mac and Molly Mange.

Mac and Molly often bickered with each other, but would come to each other's aid when one was in trouble, and it is shown that they truly care for each other. Mac was considered the "muscle" of the team, while Molly was considered the 'brains'.

For transportation, they made use of an armored car also developed by Hackle that they came to call the Metallikat Express.
