Thundercats!

Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!

Thundercats, h*!

Arrrrrhhhh!

[Roaring] thundercats!

[Thunder]

Mumm-ra: driller!

Sand devil of the deep earth,

Mumm-ra... Summons you!

Driller, emerge from the depths.

Mumm-ra awaits you.

Obey my command, driller.

You will be well-rewarded.

You are prompt, dirtling,
but will you do my bidding?

I will do business
with you, evil one.

My services for your diamonds.

Such loyalty. You
shall have diamonds.

To the treasure room.

Here are your diamonds.

You shall have half
your payment now,

The other half on
completion of your mission.

[Growls]

Enough diamonds here

To keep my drill points
sharp for centuries!

Of course, if you
fail in your task,

I shall recover these,

And you shall have
nothing for your trouble.

Then, your drill
points will grow dull,

And you shall stay locked
under the earth forever.

Looks all clear
out there, lion-o.

We can secure the
moat and call it a night.

Ok.

[Chittering]

Mumm-ra: observe.

The thundercats sleep.

This one.

Bring me the one
they call panthro.

He is the one I want.

Mmm. It will be difficult.

The walls are thick. I'll need
more diamonds to penetrate.

No more diamonds unless
you succeed, driller.

On your way!

[Drill whirring]

[Whirring]

Getting near.

Must use the smaller
cutters for a silent approach.

[Quiet whirring]

[Whirring]

Hey! What's going on?

Hai!

Hey, who are you?

What are you... Doing... Here?

You have done your
job well, dirtling.

Heh heh heh heh!

Here is the other
half of your payment.

Now, leave me to my work.

The mold is closed.

Now I shall be able to
duplicate this thundercat

In every exact detail!

[Laughs evilly]

Perfect.

[Laughing maniacally]

[Gas hissing]

Now, to bring this
panthro clone alive.

Hammerhand!

Mighty leader of the berserkers!

Agent of w*r and chaos!

Come... To... Mumm... Ra!

Raise from your watery grave

And enter the body of
my thundercat clone.

Fulfill your destiny of terror!

Come... To... Mumm... Ra!

Destroy!

Destroy!

Destroy!

[Hammerhand screaming]

Bring life to my clone.

Bring terror to the third earth!

[Growling]

Come here, my deadly toy.

[Snarling]

Mumm-ra: come to your master.

You will obey my every command.

You will cut a path
of evil and devastation

Through the third earth.

That is the purpose
of your creation.

I will obey you, evil mumm-ra.

I will spread fear and
suspicion wherever I go.

The creatures of this planet

Will blame the thundercats
for your evil work.

Then, my rule shall go
unchallenged forever!

You know what you have to do.

Go.

As for you, thundercat,

You are no longer needed.

With this mold,

I can make all the
duplicates of you I choose to.

[Laughing madly]

Ancient spirits of evil,

Transform this decayed form

To mumm-ra, the ever-living!

Uhm... What... Where...

Must be having a nightmare.

Mumm-ra: aha!

So, you awaken, thundercat.

Ha ha ha!

Good. You will witness
your own destruction

In the bottomless chasm.

I can't find him anywhere.

There's no sign of
him on the scanners.

Not in the storehouse.

And I checked the thundertank.

I can't understand it.

Where could he...

Lion-o. The eye of thundera.

A thundercat in danger!

Sword of omens, give
me sight beyond sight!

Lion-o: it's panthro!
Mumm-ra's got him!

Aah!

Lion-o! What happened?

I... I don't know.

Some kind of expl*si*n.

I can't see anything now!

Something must be
weakening the sword's power.

Prepare for your doom...

Thundercat!

[Screaming]

We'll just have to search for
panthro in all areas, inch by inch.

But where do we start?

The sword is blocked by
some kind of radiation and...

Lion-o, the berbils'
fruit fields are on fire!

[Mumm-ra laughing]

Ah... You do your work well,

My clone of destruction!

[Clone laughing]

Mumm-ra: yes!

Yes! Ravage the
countryside! Ha ha ha ha!

[Clone growling]

[Clone laughing]

Mumm-ra: yes!

Smash the fishing boats!

Mumm-ra: I shall bring
the third earthlings

To their knees!

[Woman squealing]

Mumm-ra: my price
for their survival

Shall be the destruction
of the thundercats!

I sense mumm-ra's
evil hand in this.

I'm going to find panthro.

I'm going with you.

And me.

No. We can't all
look for panthro.

From the look of those screens,

There's too much
going on out there.

Our friends need us.

Lion-o's right. We'd better
find out what's happening.

Cosmic rays.

Got to time them.

Move between blasts.

♪ Thundercats are on the move ♪

♪ Thundercats are loose! ♪

29... 30.

30 Seconds between blasts.

Have to move fast.

Aah!

30!

Lion-o: hey, snarf! Look!

That's like the image I
saw in the sword of omens!

Re-arr! What is it?

Lion-o: some kind of power
that weakens our equipment.

Radiation, maybe.

We better take a closer look.

Got to get out of here.

21 Seconds gone.

Oooh! Uhh!

28. Made it!

28 Seconds?

That's foul play.

Panthro! You all right?

What were you doing here?

I'll explain.

Just need a little... Nap.

Cheetara: come in, lion-o.

I'm here, cheetara.

The wallows have been attacked!

Someone's burning their homes!

On my way.

Lion-o: what happened?

It's him! The thundercat!

What's the problem?
We're your friends.

Do friends set fire
to people's homes?

Uproot forests?
Smash fishing boats?

Burn crops? Is that
what friends do?

Me? You think I did that?

You told me that
driller drugged you.

Maybe you weren't in control.

But I was trapped in the chasm.

I couldn't have
done it. Could i?

Maybe you should
take the thundertank

Back to the cats lair.

I'll try to straighten this out.

You must believe me.

I did not do any
of those things.

[Thundertank leaves]

I would not have
believed it of a thundercat,

But I saw it with my own eyes.

Whatever caused it, we
will help repair the damage.

I'm sorry, lion-o.

None of us will
ever trust you again.

Mumm-ra: good work, clone.

Already, the thundercats
are blamed for your work.

But the wallows have brought
the fires under control.

You have not destroyed
their homes as I commanded.

I will complete the work.

Destroy the wallows
and their homes.

[Wallow hooting]

He has returned!

Now you can see for yourself.

The thundercat is
firing the forest!

Come on! Let's go!

It can't be. Panthro?

It is.

Lion-o: he must be acting
under some other power.

Together, the thundercats
may subdue panthro

Without hurting him.

Thunder! Thunder!

Thunder!

Thundercats!

h*!

Panthro! Stop!

You don't know
what you're doing.

Frightened, cub?

You're not yourself!

Don't force me to
fight you, panthro.

Jaga forbade us to
fight amongst ourselves.

Jaga is gone, cub.

Now I serve a new master.

[Thundertank approaching]

Panthro! And... Panthro?

Panthro!

Yeah, the real one.

How can I help you, panthro?

I can't tell the real
you from the fake.

The sword, lion-o!
Use the sword!

Not against a thundercat, snarf!

Our code expressly forbids it!

Exactly! The sword will only
harm the fake thundercat!

Do it, lion-o, or
they'll burn! Look!

Jaga! Guide my hand
and free panthro!

[Clone screaming]

[Screaming]

[Gas hissing]

Fools!

Little do they know
that with this mold,

I can produce more
panthro clones!

[Laughing maniacally]

Clone: you have deceived
the spirit of hammerhand,

Ever-living source
of evil, evil, evil!

You promised me
destruction and devastation,

But you gave me no power
to overcome the thundercats!

Bah! You failed, clone,

And now I have no use for you!

Now I will take my revenge!

I will destroy!

Destroy!

Destroy!

Wow, lion-o!

I can't believe the
damage that clone did.

Yes. Confronting that thing
taught me just how strong we are.

But strength alone is
never enough to succeed.

I guess I should have realized

That clone could never
have been the real panthro.

No true thundercat
would have done all that.

How could you know?

It even had me fooled.

Hey, imagine what would happen

If one of us
really did turn bad.

We just have to make
sure we never do.

That's right, panthro.
The thundercat power

Gives us extra responsibility.

One thing's for sure.

I'm glad you're one
of the good guys.
