Arrrrrhhhh!

Thundercats!

Ooh ooh wha ooh!

Make way!

Make way for lord slythe

And his high evilness mumm-ra!

Ooh ooh wha ooh!

This had better be
important, slythe,

To summon me here
in the dead of night.

Slythe: it is important,
most important.

Ooh ooh!

Ay, the black obelisks!

What is it?

The warbot, mumm-ra,

The most awesome invention

Of plundarrian science.

There was no time to
build it back on plundarr,

But here on fair earth,

It stands complete,

Ready to destroy those
accursed thundercats

In their very lair!

I see.

But what can it do

That my powers cannot?

A demonstration?

My pleasure.

[Scree]

Mumm-ra: ha ha
ha ha! Delightful,

But you will need more than
making frogdol into a statue

To defeat those feline heroes.

Rest assured, your
high horribleness,

Its arsenal of weapons

Will bring us the final triumph

Over lion-o and his
loyal thundercats.

Forward to cat's lair.

Go!

Tygra: the time capsule!

To think it came all
the way from thundera,

Our home planet!

Aside from us, it's all that's
left of our beloved thundera.

The thundera I hardly knew.

How does it work, panthro?

It's a hologram,

A perfect model of thundera.

It's beautiful!

Incredible!

It's just as I remember it.

I fought that caveman
for this capsule.

Don't see why I
can't try it out.

Aah!

Ooh! Aah!

Unh! Aah!

Aah!

Where...

Where am i?

That city!

It looks like the image

The opticrystal projected,

Only, even more real.

It is real, lion-o!

Huh?

You have traveled
back in time and space.

You are home again...

On thundera.

Jaga, you, here?

How?

I am the spirit form of jaga.

I can be anywhere,

And I am always near you.

Thundera!

I can hardly believe it!

It's just as I
dreamed it would be.

It may not be as you
imagined it, lion-o.

Take care that your
dream does not turn into...

A nightmare.

[Rumbling]

Oh!

Aah! Ooh! Oh!

[Screeching]

h*!

Unh!

[Screeching]

What is happening
here on thundera?

Simple, lion-o.

You have traveled
back in time and space,

Back to the day before the
destruction of the planet

Which was once your home.

Can't sleep.

My cat sense tells
me something's wrong.

Lion-o!

Where is he?

Not on watch.

That's unlike him.

Great jaga!

What is that?!

What is it, panthro?

Whatever it is, it's big,

Heavily armed,

Coming straight for the lair!

Range 7-9er, zero.
Closing rapidly.

Mountains of thundera!

Look at this, thundercats.

Cheetara: a giant robot!

Yeah, a nightmare version of
that reptilian rascal slythe!

Panthro: lasers... Fire!

Oh! Panthro, tygra!

Oh!

Lion-o... Where is he?

He abandoned his post.

He wouldn't have done that.

Something must've
happened to him.

We're got to act fast.

Let's give that big buster

A taste of the ballista!

Fire and ice!

A double discouragement.

Panthro: it's got
plenty of defenses.

Let's try again.

Wow. That thing's got an answer

For every gimmick
you threw, panthro.

I'd like it better if
lion-o were here.

Where is he?

Meowr, meowr, meowr.

Oh, halt! Who comes?

Lion-o, lord of the thundercats!

Lion-o?

Any fool knows old claudus

Is lord of thundera.

I am his son! Let me pass!

His son is but a boy.

Take him!

I have little time.

Let me pass

Or I shall use my sword!

A sword against ray pistols?

This thunderian is mad!

Wait... Have I not seen that
very blade carried by wise jaga?

You have. It is the
sword of omens.

Now let me pass!

Enter.

But whoever you are,

You will not come out alive.

We have orders to
leave at the next tremor.

The eye of thundera protect you.

[Grrr]

[Grrr]

[Grr-rrrow]

[Grrr]

Aah!

Kane-o, no!

Stop!

[Grrr]

[Rrrrr]

Kane-o, it's me, lion-o!

[Slurp]

Ha ha! Kane-o, you old
saber-toothed beauty.

You remember me.

[Woof]

Oh, you...

You want me to follow you.

Lead on, kane-o.

Do not waste what little
time remains, claudus.

Give us what we came for!

You mutants are
on a useless mission.

I have no plans!

You lie!

I lost my sight fighting
your evil empire.

Do you think I fear
two such as you?

You cannot see,
but you can feel!

[Grrr]

Oh!

h*!

Ayee!

Aah!

Even if the old
fool has the plans,

They will perish with him.

Kane-o, you have
brought a friend to aid me.

Who are you?

I am lion-o, your son.

You cannot be.

Lion-o is a mere boy.

You are a grown warrior.

Claudus, thundera is doomed.

You must leave!

I cannot leave.

Jaga's ship is on
the launch pad.

It will take my son and the
thundercat nobles to safety.

But its gyro
stabilizer is faulty,

And I must boost their
guidance system from here.

But you, how will you escape?

A gravity capsule
hidden nearby...

If there is time.

[Rumbling]

Here! What those
mutants were looking for...

Plans of a
plundarrian w*r robot,

Copied by one of my spies.

They might prove
useful in another world,

Another time.

I thank you for your help.

May my son lion-o grow up
to be as brave and noble as you

And carry on the
sacred code of thundera.

Both: justice, truth,
honor, loyalty.

The tremors grow worse. Go!

While you still can.

Farewell, father!

The warbot! It's coming closer!

Nyaaarh!

Ooh!

Ohh!

Hyah!

Yaah! Lion-o, help!

Yaah! Yaah!

Aah!

Magnetos that hold on stone!

Another plundarrian brainstorm!

Pry them off, thundercats!

Aah!

Aah!

Hey!

[Grunting]

Aah!

The lair head's being torn off!

Quick! Get below!

The robot! Drilling
a way inside!

Never thought
I'd live to say this,

But, thundercats, stand
by to abandon cat's lair.

[Bwri... ]

Aah!

What?!

Thunder!

Thunder!

Thunder!

Thundercats, h*!

♪ Thundercats are on the move ♪

♪ Thundercats are loose ♪

Meowr!

Lion-o, where were you?

What happened?

No time to explain.

Stand back!

Lion-o, the robot
feeds on energy!

Sends it back at you!

Not this time.

Sword of omens, give
me power beyond power!

h*!

You drove it back, lion-o,
but it will attack again!

Not if I can face it on
open ground, panthro.

Ready the ballista.

[Gears whir]

Thanks for the catch!

Lion-o, you'll be stomped flat!

What's this? The warbot is down!

All circuits dead!

It cannot... Must not be!

But it is, slythe!

You bungler!

Those thundercats have
defeated your puny efforts

Once again!

Only i, mumm-ra,

Ever-living source of evil,

Will defeat the thundercats!

Because only I have real
power... Magical, mystical.

Ha aah aah aah ha ha ha!

My father claudus gave
me the secret of the warbot.

An absorba-disk under one foot

To receive the cosmic rays

Slythe energized it with.

That reptilian villain never
dreamed anyone would learn about it

And short circuit
his super weapon.

Cheetara: that's twice
claudus has saved us.

First when he guided
our ship from thundera

And now by giving lion-o
the plans of the warbot.

I should have saved him.

I tried, but he wouldn't leave.

No, lion-o. There was
nothing you could do.

No one can change history.

We can only learn from it.

And we've got a few lessons
to learn from that warbot.

It came within an
inch of destroying us.

Let's get to work before those
mutants launch another attack.

Claudus, my father,

Wherever you are,

My thoughts and love go to you.

May we meet again
somewhere in time.
