Sky Commanders is an animated TV series that aired in 1987. It revolves around a group of soldiers known as Sky Commanders who protect a fictitious world from an evil villain named General Lucas Plague. The show has a diverse cast of characters, each with their unique personality and skill set.

The show centers around the main protagonist, General Mike Jefferson, who leads the Sky Commanders. He is a no-nonsense soldier who takes his duty very seriously. The team also includes a brainy scientist named Dr. Evie Slattery, who provides technical support for the team. The Sky Commanders team also consists of Nick Burns, a hot-headed and fearless leader of the Diamondback Squadron, and S.P. "Pinky" Pinkerton, who is the comic relief of the show because of his constant jokes and pranks. There are several other supporting characters, including Lieutenant Trench, Sergeant Raven, and Sergeant Baker.

The show takes place in a world called the High Frontier, which is a vast terrain of rugged mountains and deep canyons. The High Frontier is also home to a vast array of mysterious artifacts known as the "crystals." These crystals play a crucial role in the show's plot as they provide various kinds of powers to the character who possesses them. Some of these crystals give the user enhanced strength, others provide teleportation abilities. However, the most powerful of these crystals gives the user the power of flight.

General Lucas Plague serves as the main villain of the show. He commands an army of robot soldiers known as Raiders, who he uses to try to obtain the crystals' powers. The Raiders are quite efficient and almost always outnumber the Sky Commanders. General Plague is a cruel and cunning character who will stop at nothing to obtain the crystals' powers, no matter the cost.

The show's animation is similar to other cartoons of the same era and features a basic animation style that is simple but works well for the show. The character designs are interesting, and each character has a unique look that separates them from the others. The show's music is also worth mentioning, with an energetic soundtrack that adds a lot to the show's overall feel.

The plot of the show is exciting and fast-paced, revolving around the Sky Commanders' efforts to stop General Plague from obtaining the crystals. Each episode sees new challenges and obstacles that the Sky Commanders must overcome. The series frequently balances its action set pieces with quieter character moments, which adds depth and interest to the characters. The Sky Commanders are always fighting against the odds, and the tension and suspense are palpable.

Overall, Sky Commanders is an entertaining show that is sure to appeal to fans of action cartoons from the '80s. It's a fun and exciting show that features a memorable cast of characters, great action sequences, and an intriguing plot. The show's use of the High Frontier and crystals adds a unique flavor to the show that makes it stand out from other cartoons of the same era. If you're in the mood for a fun action-packed '80s cartoon, then Sky Commanders is definitely worth checking out.
