Thundercats!

Thunder... Thunder... Thunder...

Thundercats, h*!

Aargh!

Nyar! Brrr!

Nothing like thundera, is it?

Sure isn't, snarf.

Panthro: dang blast it!

[Crash]

Worthless piece of junk!

Blasted stabilizer spirals
are completely shot!

So it seems.

How do things look, otherwise?

Not too bad...

All in all.

I'm pretty sure I can scrounge enough
metal and equipment from the wreck

To build us a thundertank.

Good idea.

We can always count
on you, panthro.

No problem.

Main thing in an
emergency is to stay calm.

We're in good shape in
the food department!

None of the space rations
were damaged in the crash!

Oh-h*!

Rahr!

I've been wondering

When someone was
going to say "lunch."

Wiley kat, kit, stop
playing with your food.

We'll eat after we
unload the heavy gear.

Snarf! The heavy gear!

On an empty stomach! Terr-ific!

Dull little planet,
isn't it? Humph!

Heh! Very!

Nothing like the
oceans of boiling fires,

And the scrum
forests of plundarr!

This is not a sightseeing trip!

Hatch up!

Lion-o! Give me
a hand with this!

Er, well,

Maybe it would be better

If I scouted the area
while you're doing that?

It's my responsibility

To make sure we're in
a secure position here.

But we need all
the help we can get.

No. Lion-o is right.

The surrounding territory
should be reconnoitered,

And, as lord of the thundercats,

His responsibility
is our safety.

Darn right! I'll go with you.

I don't need a
nursemaid anymore.

Try to get that through
your head, snarf!

Tygra: come, snarf!

You're still needed.

We can sure use your help here.

Snarf... Sure, nobody
even knows I'm around

Unless there's work to be done.

Take the claw shield

And the sword of omens, lion-o.

You may need to summon us.

Oh, I think I'll be able to handle
anything that comes along.

Is that a good idea, tygra?

Should we be making it easy for
lion-o to shirk unpleasant duties?

Remember, lord lion-o spent 10
galact-o years in a suspension capsule.

During that time
he grew in size,

But he did not grow up.

He missed those
firsthand life experiences

Through which one matures.

Rivers emptying into
great bodies of water.

Yet no signs of habitation.

They could be living
in caves and hollows.

No! Look!

Architecture, of a sort!

But in ruins!

So there was some
kind of civilization

On this ridiculous
pebble of a planet!

We have no time to
ponder that now!

If I know the thundercats,
they will lose no time

In building an
impregnable fortress.

We, too, must establish a base.

So look for a likely spot
to build "castle plundarr."

Yes!

Up ahead! A desert, most likely.

And... Something else!

Hoo... Hoo. What's that? Hoo.

No primitive life
form constructed it.

That's certain!

Yes!

I'm afraid I don't
like the looks of it.

Let's get as far away
from it as we can.

What's happening?

The controls aren't responding.

We're f-falling!

I see no enemy about.

Then, what caused us to crash?

There! There's the cause!

Aarrgh! Ssss!

Nothing! No being or
thing wants slythe.

Come! Yes!

Er, is that a good idea?

You're afraid, jackal-man?

And you call yourself a mutant?

We are the fear makers,
not the ones who fear.

Ha ha ha! By plundarr,
you're right, slythe!

Lead on!

Hoo-hoo-hoo.

Mumm-ra: enter!

Arm yourselves!

Mumm-ra: your
weapons are not needed!

You are welcome here!

Follow the ball of light!

W-where are you?

Who are you?

Mumm-ra: you shall
soon see! Have no fear!

I am slythe, and I
fear nothing! Yes?

Actually, it's quite pleasant.

What manner of chamber is this?

Look! Those statues!

What do you think? An
ancient race of mutants?

No wonder I like
this place! Heh-heh.

What's that thing?

It looks like some
kind of casket.

But where is he
who bid us enter?

I see nothing alive.

As long as evil exists,

Mumm-ra lives!

What manner of being are you?

You need only know
that I am mumm-ra

And that I know of your
mission here on third earth.

You seek to possess
the eye of thundera.

You know of the eye of thundera?

Yes?

I have known of its
power for 1,000 years!

From a time when this was still

First earth!

Even if this is so, what makes
you think we need your help?

You mock my power?

Humph! The communication
module on our ship

Hasn't been damaged.

Ha ha. We can call in
the other mutant ships

And have them blast
this place to powder!

And you, mumm-ra, with it! Hoo!

Come, see your ship,
foolish creatures!

Hoo-hoo! Hoo-hoo!

Our ship!

Mumm-ra: gone forever!

Along with the hope
of ever summoning

Any other mutant ships!

You are now standing
on third earth!

And without
mumm-ra, you'll perish!

What do you think?

Do we have a choice? We
have to go along with him!

Yes. For now.

Even shared, there is power
enough in the eye of thundera

For all of us.

Slythe: sure there is, mumm-ra.

It's only right
that we... Share.

Slythe speaks for all of us.

We're with you,
mumm-ra, heh-heh.

Yes, I am pleased to see
that you are so agreeable.

Look into the
cauldron once more!

You will see where
the eye of thundera

Is to be found!

It's lion-o!

Yes, the lord of
the thundercats!

He carries the
sword, but where is he?

That we may ambush him.

[Thinking] they suspect
that I cannot leave my tomb.

They shall learn otherwise!

But they must not know the price

I must pay for doing so.

Mumm-ra will transport you!

Have at you, varlet!

And now you will taste my blade.

Wow! What great hunting!

What's going on here?

Uh!

That's enough of
that. I command you to...

The sword will
not obey you, lion-o.

Huh? Jaga?

The sword will
never obey an order

To destroy wantonly, lion-o.

Aw, I was just going
to have some fun.

Fun? Your food supplies
are plentiful at present,

And those gentle creatures

Have as much right
to the life force

As you do, lion-o.

The sword will only
come to life to combat evil.

Do you understand?

Yes, jaga,

I guess so, but...

Jaga?

Oh, he's gone,

And I have so many questions.

[Sword vibrating]

What is it? Danger?

I don't see any...

It's the mutants again!

The sword! Seize the sword!

Well, that's what we're
trying to do! Hoo-hoo!

Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!

Thundercats!

Thundercats! h*!

Wiley kat! Kit!

Lion-o's in trouble.

Tygra and cheetara,
where are they?

They're off looking
for a good spot...

For us to build a cats' lair on.

It's just us, then. Come on!

Lion-o! Hold on! We're here!

I'm...

Doing...

Fine, panthro!

Back! Get back!

No space ships above!

So where did they
dematerialize to?

Don't like the looks of that.

Seems like those blasted mutants
have learned some new tricks!

Where are tygra and cheetara?

Gone looking for a good
place to build our new home.

Why didn't they see
the thundercats signal?

Hmm... Good question!

I'll go look for them.

No. I'll go.

It better be me, lion-o.

It could be trouble, or...

I said I'll go, panthro.

I'm not a kid anymore.

I'll go.

Right!

So, the dreaded mutants

The scourge of the universe,

Return with their
tails between their legs,

Having failed to disarm
a single, overgrown boy.

We had him, but the
other thundercats

Joined in at the last minute.

Hmm... If you think it's so
easy fighting the thundercats,

Try it yourself next time!

Humph! Yes!

We haven't seen much of your
self-proclaimed power yet...

Mighty mumm-ra!

You dare to taunt
mumm-ra, reptilian?!

You shall see my power, then,

Much to your sorrow!

Ancient spirits of evil,

Transform this
decayed form to mumm-ra,

The ever-living!

Tygra! Cheetara!

What's that? Some
kind of black lake?

Oh! It's hot!

And sticky!

Won't come off!

Danger!

[Mumm-ra laughing]

What is that thing?

I'd better... Thunder! Thunder!

No.

As lord of the thundercats,
I must fight this demon alone.

[Maniacal laughter]

You think to destroy
mumm-ra, the ever-living?

It cannot be done...

Boy!

The... The ever-living?

This creature isn't mortal!

If I can still just...

Thunder! Thunder!

Thunder! Thundercats! h*!

Thundercats! h*!

Mumm-ra: it's no use, boy!

The eye of thundera cannot
summon your friends this time!

I only wish it could!

In a moment,

The eye of thundera will
be mine to command, boy!

Yes, the stone in this
cliff should provide

Excellent building
material for the cats' lair

Tygra, listen!

I thought I heard
the thundercat roar!

Something's going on, and
we'd better see what it is!

Come on!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aah!

We heard battle cries!

Are you all right, lion-o?

What was all that racket?

Snarf, snarf. I told you
not to go off by yourself.

Wiley kit! Look!

Yuck!

What is that thing, lion-o?

It... He is called
mumm-ra, the ever-living.

That's all I know.

Aah!

Monkian: did you
get it, mumm-ra?

Did you, mumm-ra?

Slythe: do you have
the eye of thundera?

He doesn't answer!

He didn't get it!

So! The great mumm-ra
also failed, yes?

There will be another time!

It was its own reflection
that drove it off.

Yet it feared nothing.

Except the evil in its
own unspeakable face.

It was awfully rash of you

To take that thing
on by yourself, lion-o.

But awfully courageous, too.

[Laughter]

Snarf! Snarf!

Never had any use
for courage myself.

It just gets them that
has it into trouble.
