Thundercats!

[♪♪♪]

Thunder, thunder,

thunder,

Thundercats, h*!

[ROARS]

Thundercats!

[♪♪♪]

My time has come.

With my Super Power Potion,

I'll be able to match those
wretched Thundercats,

skill for skill

and strength for strength.

[GULPING]

I don't need Slithe,
Monkian or Jackalman.

As for Mumm-Ra...

[LAUGHS]

I'll rattle that mummy's bones

till he surrenders
Third Earth to me!

Vultureman!

[YELLS]

[♪♪♪]

That should be enough.

Time I got back to the lab.

Why am I getting this feeling
that something's watching me?

Oh!

Vultureman! Flying!

Flying is just for
starters, Thundercat.

You may think
you're invisible, but...

I can see you.

Oh!

No!

Oh-h*!

I'm tired of this
game, Thundercat.

Just stay where you are.

VULTUREMAN: My Super
Power Potion works perfectly.

[LAUGHING]

Who dare disturb the
sleep of Mumm-Ra?

By all the Pharaohs,

someone will pay for this!

VULTUREMAN: Hey,
Mumm-Ra, you bag of bones.

Vultureman!

Aaahhh! Ohh!

Why, you miserable mutant!

Enough of your
prattling, bonehead!

[ROARS]

You've gone too far, Vultureman.

Ancient spirits of evil...

transform this decayed form

to Mumm-Ra!

The Ever-Living!

You dare attack Mumm-Ra?

Ooh!

Wait!

Wait, Vultureman!

Let's talk!

I hoped you'd see things
my way, Mumm-Ra.

I'm most impressed, Vultureman.

I had no idea you
were so talented.

I'm not here to listen to
your flattery, Mumm-Ra.

I'm here to offer you a deal.

A deal?

I will smash the Thundercats.

I will crush the other mutants.

What do you want from me?

The secret of everlasting life.

And if I share that secret?

We rule Third Earth together.

VULTUREMAN: Forever!

[LAUGHS]

Where is Tygra?
He should be back.

There's no sign of him, Snarf.

Nothing on the
communicator, either.

We'd better go out
and look for him.

We'll cover more
ground if we split up.

Right.

You take the
west. We'll go east.

You got it.

h*!

Harr! Look at you.

Call yourselves mutants?

No wonder the Thundercats
control this planet.

Just who do you
think you're talking to?

You, for a start, Slithe,

our glorious leader.

You'll regret that, Vultureman.

Ah! Aah!

Get him, fools!

Whoa!

Prepare for a
pulverizing, Vultureman.

No one pushes Slithe around.

From now on, mutants,

things are going to be
different around here.

That means you do what I say.

You got that?

Yes... Vultureman.

I... read... you.

You got that, Monkian?

Jackalman?

Yes, Vultureman, sir.

You're the leader

for the time being.

[LAUGHS]

Soon, Mumm-Ra will
share with me the secret

of everlasting life.

I, Vultureman,

will rule Third Earth.

PANTHRO: Nothing
on the Image Reflector.

ThunderTank to Lion-O.

ThunderTank to Lion-O.

LION-O: I read you,
Panthro. Any sign of Tygra?

Nothing. I'm going
deeper into the forest.

Okay. Over and out.

Come on, Snarf.
Let's keep looking.

Wait! What's that?

Better focus the coordinates.

That's Tygra all right.

Tygra! Wake up!

Hmm...

Looks like some kind
of suspended animation.

[VULTUREMAN CACKLING]

Your technology is
useless, Thundercat.

Your friend will remain
frozen until I release him.

Well, set him free, bird-brain.

Oh, no.

This is just the beginning.

Soon, all you Thundercats
will be in my power.

Not if I have
anything to do with it!

Yah! Yah!

Yah!

All right, hothead.

This should cool you down a bit.

[COUGHS]

You'll pay for that!

You'll have to catch
me first, mutant.

Aah!

So much for Panthro

and his ThunderTank.

Perhaps the other Thundercats

will provide more
interesting opposition.

We have to get out of here.

How can we with
that... That zombie

watching us all the time.

Wait! Look, Monkian!

The trance is wearing-off.

Wha... What happened?

It was Vultureman, Slithe.

He took over your mind.

Turned you into some
kind of automaton.

If we don't find the
secret of his superpowers,

we're all doomed!

Search every
corner of the castle.

Well... what are
you waiting for?

[♪♪♪]

Super Power Potion!

Ha! So that's the secret
of Vultureman's strength.

Wait till Slithe sees this.

So... the mutants have
found Vultureman's

Super Power Potion.

It's time I pay
them a little visit.

Ancient spirits of evil,

transform this decayed form

to Mumm-Ra,

the Ever-Living!

Now I'll be able to fight

that miserable
buzzard on equal terms.

[MUMM-RA LAUGHING]

I'll take that.

Thank you, Slithe.

Panthro. Come in, Panthro.

Ah, come on.

It's no use, Snarf.
He's not answering.

First Tygra, now Panthro.

This is getting serious, Lion-O.

Snarf, snarf.

Ah!

LION-O & SNARF: Vultureman!

[VULTUREMAN YELLS]

It's Super Vultureman,
Thundercat.

I've dealt with
your feline friends,

Panthro and Tygra.

Now it's your turn!

Oh, yeah? You and
whose army, beaky?

VULTUREMAN: Silence, nursemaid.

h*!

[LAUGHS]

The Sword of Omens has
met its match, Thundercat.

[CACKLING]

h*!

Oh!

You fight well, Lion-O,

but you have no defense

against my Super Power Potion.

No potion can make
you less evil, Vultureman.

And evil always
loses out in the end.

We'll see who loses
out, Thundercat.

[GRUNTS]

Might is right, Thundercat.

And you might as
well give in now.

Never!

No Thundercat will
ever give in to evil,

whatever the odds.

So you leave me no choice

but to destroy you.

I'm... growing... weaker.

The effects of the
Super Power Potion

are wearing off.

Thunder,

thunder,

thunder,

Thundercats, h*!

[GROWLING]

♪ Feel the magic Hear the roar ♪

♪ Thundercats are loose ♪

I'll never have a better chance

to defeat the Lord
of the Thundercats.

I must... concentrate...
my powers.

Whoa!

Looking for your
tonic, Vultureman?

Quickly, Mumm-Ra!

Give me the potion.

Not so fast, my
feathered friend.

We have some bargaining to do.

But we had an agreement.

I'm changing the terms, mutant.

h*!

You fool!

You've ruined everything!

I'll never be able to
duplicate that potion again.

You should have known
better than to strike a bargain

with Mumm-Ra, Vultureman.

This is not the
end, Thundercats.

One day, I'll be back,

and all will bend
before the might

of Vultureman!

Phew! That was close.

It's a good thing mutants
don't stick together

as close as Thundercats.

ALL: Thundercats,

h*!

♪ Thunder, thunder,
thunder Thundercats! ♪

[♪♪♪]

Well, I think that's the last

we'll see of
Vultureman for a while.

And let's hope that's
the end of his ambitions

to rule Third Earth.

Can you imagine
what that would be like?

I'd say that idea
is strictly for...

the birds.

[LAUGHING]

We are left with
one problem, though.

Snarf. He's still frozen.

Well, uh, I guess
we just have to wait

until the effects of
the beam wear off.

That's right.

It'll probably only
take a few weeks.

Snarf... snarf... snarf...

Maybe life would be a little
too quiet without him, though.

What do you think?

Well... maybe.

You could be right at that.

h*!

Snarf, snarf, sha... Sna...

[MEOWS] Snarf!

[LAUGHING]

ALL: Snarf!
