| Terrahawks Set in the year 2020, the series followed the
adventures of the Terrahawks, a taskforce responsible for protecting Earth from
invasion by a group of extraterrestrial androids and aliens led by Zelda.
Terrahawks (technically, the Earth Defense Squadron) is an elite task force
that protects Earth from alien invasion.
- Doctor "Tiger" Ninestein (real first name unknown): The team's
leader, so named as he is the ninth clone created by Dr. Gerhard Stein. Somewhat
bloodthirsty, his first reaction to alien contact is often to blast it out of
the sky. In between alien attacks, he's often seen trying (and failing) to beat
the high score on his favourite video-game. Ninestein's catchphrase is, "I have a
theory...", and when frustrated he often cries, "Flaming thunderbolts!" If he is
killed, he can be replaced within 24 hours by another of the nine clones; his
nickname of "Tiger" comes from the myth of cats similarly having "nine lives".
- Captain Mary Falconer: Battlehawk's pilot. She acts as Ninestein's
second-in-command, weighing his offensive tendencies with her own regard for the
value of life...whether in regards to one of Zelda's henchmen, or to the
Zeroids.
- Captain Kate Kestrel (real name: Katherine Westley): The pilot of the
Hawkwing fighter
aircraft, Kate is also an internationally famous pop singer. Her record company is "Anderburr Records"
- a portmanteau of "Anderson"
and "Burr".
- Lieutenant Hawkeye (real name: Hedley Howard Henderson III): The
Hawkwing's gunner. Due to a
track-and-field accident, his eyes have been replaced with micro-computers that
enhance his targeting abilities. When given an order, he always replies
"aye-aye" as a pun on his name.
- Lieutenant Hiro (full name unknown): The commander of the Spacehawk,
Hiro keeps a large collection of flowers to which he gives names and reads
poetry. His thick Japanese accent is sometimes a source of
humour.
Robots ("androids") from the planet Guk rebelled when their creators and
masters deteriorated into a state of apathy. Zelda and company are modelled
after the oldest and wisest citizens of their planet, explaining their grey hair
and wrinkled skin.
- Zelda: The main villain of the series, Zelda is the wicked and
scheming would-be conqueror of Earth. She has power over matter, mainly used to
teleport her servants to
and from Earth. "Zelda reclaims her own," was frequently said when Zelda
teleported a defeated minion back to the Mars base.
- Cy-star: (pronounced "Si-ster") Zelda's "sister" is not very bright,
but is endlessly bubbly and optimistic. Frequently she gets so excited her hair
slides around her head, leading Zelda to shout in one episode "One of these days
I'm going to nail that to your skull!"
- Yung-star: Zelda's "son", Yung-star is, like his "aunt," not very
intelligent (he mistakes the term "nincompoop" for a compliment), but he's also
cowardly, lazy and greedy, although he is occasionally sent to accompany a
monster. His catchphrase, uttered slowly in a revolting guttural voice, was
"Great Steaming Lava!".
- It-star: Also known as "Goybirl", or "Birlgoy", It-star
is a "baby" android mothered by Cy-star near the end of the series. It-star is a
hermaphrodite with two
minds and voices, a young girl's voice when "innocent", and a male voice with a
German accent when plotting.
- Cubes: The aliens' answer to the Zeroids. They can combine into large
constructs such as guns and force field cubicles. Their
different sides are marked differently, indicating their different functions,
such as one serving as a gun. Cy-star keeps one, Pluto, as a pet.
Zelda possesses a collection of monstrous servants, kept in cryogenic storage
until needed.
- Sram: A reptilian beast with a
devastating roar, capable of shattering mountains and destroying Hawkwing's
shots before they can get close enough to hit him. His blood gives off fumes
that are highly toxic to human beings. In his first appearance Sram is quite
articulate, but he does not speak in any further appearances. Sram appears in
"Thunder-Roar," "Thunder Path," as Zelda's drummer in "Play it Again, Sram", a
member of Zelda's war party in "First Strike", and an hallucination of him is
seen in "Mind Monster".
- Sporilla: A savagely powerful beast that Zelda controls with a
signalling device. After the device is destroyed, however, the Terrahawks find
that the Sporilla is capable of halting speech and has no desire to fight them.
Appears in "The Sporilla". In "Space Giant", another Sporilla appears.
- MOID: The Master Of Infinite Disguise. "I
wear many faces, but have none of my own", he once said to describe himself. The
Terrahawks seem to find him pitiable, and he seems to regret living a life of
servitude to Zelda. Appears in "Happy Madeday", "Unseen Menace", briefly in
"Play it Again, Sram" as Mozart, and a hallucination of him is seen in "Mind
Monster".
- Yuri: A teddy
bear-like creature the aliens find hideous and frightening. He possesses the
power to mentally control metal. Zelda sometimes refers to him as "the furry Napoleon". He appears
in "The Ugliest Monster of All", "Operation SAS", "Terratomb", and as a member
of Zelda's war party in "First Strike".
- Lord Tempo: The master of time, Tempo can travel back and forth in
time at will, and alter its flow locally. Lord Tempo appears in "My Kingdom for
a ZEAF", "Time Warp", and as a member of Zelda's war party in "First Strike".
- Krell: The Krell is a hairy creature with an eyestalk that can fire a
laser beam powerful enough to shoot down objects in orbit. It appears only in
"The Midas Touch".
- Cyclops: A black and red crawling creature with one giant eye. The
cyclops absorbs metal. It appears only in "Space Cyclops".
- Captain Goat: A space buccaneer who captained a pirate radio ship. He appears in "Jolly Roger
One".
- Cold Finger: An alien who is an expert at weaponising water and ice.
His entire ship was made of ice.
