Using mechs to attack the cat city and his pyramid, according to the the "Legacy" episode, is a giant spaceship. Mum-Ra is also a heavy technology user this time around. His arms are longer and clawed and he has bat wings now. His normal mummy form looks familiar to the original but his ever living form is bulkier and more dangerous looking. I am happy to see such a great cartoon villain from my childhood back and looking more evil.
Slithe and his lizard men still work for Mum-Ra. Like in the premiere we see a broken Berbil Bear hand. I love looking around and seeing things from the original show. The other episodes that aired so far have been so great to watch. So here is hoping we get some more Thundercats/Silverhawks crossover. The funny thing is that is raises some questions becasue the way Mon-Star is drawn he looks like one of the cats. Plus it was nice seeing a cameo of Mon-Star from Silverhawks and some Tigersharks. This episode alone helped to enrich this universe so much. Also the red crystal that is part of the Sword Of Omens is not the only one there are more that became lost. We also learn in this episode why the other animal races (jackals, lizards, gorillas, Tigersharks, birds, etc) hate the cats. Like for instance in "Legacy" episode we learn that the cats of this universe sided with Mum-Ra in his search of the crystal that will be part of The Sword of Omens. Each episode shows us more and more of what could have been. The new series holds onto the feel of the original while making it better and developing and deepening the story and history of the Thundercats universe. So quite obviously this is a very different Thundercats. We also meet younger versions of Wily Kit and Wily Kat. Panthro is a general of the kings army sent on a special mission with Grune. Tigra is now his older brother and there father is king. We meet a younger Lion-O (both physically and mentally) with a smaller Snarf who doesn't speak. And right off the back this was not the same Thundercats from the 80's. The new Thundercats series premiered on Cartoon Network with and hour long "movie". And thankfully competent people were behind it's creation. Thankfully it was animation that won out. Movie form, live action show, CGI, animation, etc. There have been a few attempts, throughout the years, to bring back Thundercats.
