Thundercats Workshop

[IAmBatman]

I'd consider looking at the mechanics we settled on for He-Man and seeing if Lion-O's sword set up could mirror things more (just in terms of what it takes to lose it and which mechanics are placed where). They seem to be fairly parallel characters, so I like trying to maintain a consistent aesthetic between them.

I never saw Cheetara as Flash fast but that may be an aspect of the new cartoon. In the old one Liono actually beats her in a race. He defeats all of the Thundercats one on one in a trial to be the rightful Lord of the Thundercats.

Kit and Kat would be cool as a single figure. Sort of like what I did with my Batman and Robin design. I would give them tricks like what the Tricksters have.

Liono had a claw shield with a grappling hook in the original cartoon. That could be fun as an additional Eq glyph.

The new cartoon also had trials as well. And while he was never as fast as her he beat her in the race to the center of the maze using wits. And I thought that was the same thing that happened in the original. Haven’t seen it in ages.

Solid call there. In fairness pretty sure he came up with a lot of this before he saw He-Man. Likely could have been different if he’d seen He-man first.

The kittens having autowounds is a good call since this team is missing that.

Lion-O would need some Batman (II) style language letting him equip multiple glyphs.

In the original as I remember it, he races Cheetara across open land, the kids he goes against in a maze.
Lion-O takes a shorter more difficult route as he knows he cannot win otherwise.
They both run into challenges but end up in the same place a short distance from the finish line and he ends up winning.
Though I think there is some additional factor, like maybe she was exhausted or possibly injured, I think the mutants attacked them at some point.

Kit and Kat he ties them together with a rope or something and they get hung up on a rock. That one is really creepy, the kids run into an underground race that plans on forcing them to read to them because they are blind.

Panthro and Tygra I think he just straight up beats. Tygra in a astral plane style battle.

Cheetara has a weakness we find out in that episode - she can only run at superspeed for short distances. The race is just past that distance. They end up running the last part on equal footing.

Yeah, that's how I remember it too. Lion-o can't beat cheetara in a speed race, but he can beat her in a long distance race

Thanks Spidey, exhaustion was what I remembered.

BTW, forgot to mention that those are EXCELLENT customs! Beast, Caliban, and Shana (or Tigra), I beleive. How did you do Panthros ears? Any ideas for Mumm-Ra mini? I was thinking the Hulk from The Incredible Hulk set would be a good start.

I was going to make 2 figures for Mumm-Ra. One for his Ever-living and one for his decayed mummy. The Ever-living I have something on order that I hope will work. But here is my decaying mummy version.

Spoiler Alert!

I also think Killraven could work for Lion-O. Would have to do some work on the sword, but he has the hair and the action stance.

That's not bad. My first try was going to be Talon, but I hated how the base figure looked after I bought it. I have something on order right now for Lion-O and hopefully I have a mod done soon.
