Contents OverviewChance 'T-Bone' Furlong and Jake 'Razor' Clawson were members of Megakat City's paramilitary law enforcement agency, known as the Enforcers. They were discharged from the Enforcers after disobeying the orders of Commander Feral, which resulted in the destruction of the newly built Enforcer Headquarters.

While in pursuit of Dark Kat, one of the main arch-villains of the series, the two rebelled against Enforcer Commander Feral's orders to fall back and leave Dark Kat to him. When they objected, citing their already-acquired target lock, Commander Feral crowded out their jet, clipping their wing and sending Chance and Jake's jet crashing into Enforcer headquarters. The resultant explosion distracted Commander Feral, allowing Dark Kat's escape.
I loved the show and wanted to update the look somehow.I found the perfect way through Cat-face beast.I found him on sale at a local comic/toy/music store, my favorite place,and noticed the striking similarities with T-Bone.This was mostly just a repaint with minor alterations.For Razor the choice was not that easy.I started with Wolvie with beast hands and feet but that wasn't cutting it for the look of Razor so I began grabbing all this fodder and came out with this.Base=Stealth WolverineFore-arms=Judge DreddHands and legs=X3 BeastHead=sculptedThe Turbokat was a long work in progress. The X-Jet base was found for $2 at Goodwill but missing the wings canopy and a lot more. I thought it would be an easy convert boy was I wrong.I built the wings and the fins out of foam core wrapped in duct tape.I could not make a new canopy.Thanks for looking, please comment and if unfamiliar with the show check out the intro on Youtube.
