The next time he appears, which is in "Night of the Dark Kat", he's voiced by Rob Paulsen.
In "The Wrath of Dark Kat", Al the Kat's Eye News helicopter pilot is voiced by Frank Welker. Cummings voiced him for the remainder of the series. Beginning with "When Strikes Mutilor", however, he was voiced by Jim Cummings (using the same voice he'd given to another sergeant in Season 1). Talon was first voiced by Ed Gilbert for Season 1. The Other Darrin: A few characters had different voice actors between seasons, and in some cases, between episodes. Cybertron is also the name of the Transformers homeworld. Viper was also the name of the Big Bad in the short-lived Shadow Strikers franchise. 
All that is known is the aforementioned Polish title and that it aired on TVP2 at one point.
The Polish-language version "SWAT Kats: Radykalny szwadron" is downright lost media. Keep Circulating the Tapes: No longer in effect, as Warner Bros., through their Warner Archive DVD-on-Demand program, released SWAT Kats in December 2010, with some missing scenes restored (the Episode Title Card for "The Pastmaster Always Rings Twice", and the farmer getting devoured in "The Giant Bacteria") although in January 2012, they issued an updated version, mainly because the original DVDs had the ending credits wrong for many of the episodes. It also takes a bit of influence from H-B's Sky Commanders tech-wise, and both Charlie Adler and Paul Eiding worked on that show too. Though in comparison, this series is much darker, and doesn't have any humans or other humanoid animals besides cats. Follow the Leader: You could argue this was Hanna-Barbera's attempt to compete with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) and that series' profusion of copycats. In doing so, he put SWAT Kats in an unfair position where it suffered from poor scheduling and poor ratings and guaranteed its failure. Ted Turner, the founder of Cartoon Network which also owned Hanna-Barbera, endorsed the usage of a rating system for cartoon shows and took an aversive stance against SWAT Kats for not being in line with his standards for kid-friendly programs. Executive Meddling: One of the reasons why SWAT Kats was cancelled was that it debuted at a bad time where parents were pressuring politicians to take a stronger stance against the portrayal of violence in cartoon shows.
