Then, out of freaking nowhere a fusion of the Batmobile and a tank starts blowing stuff up, riding through explosions, and turns the entire fight against the lizards into a Curb-Stomp Battle. It looks like everyone is about to die, when suddenly, things start exploding. You know it's Made of Win when people still can't shut up about it even before it happened. Panthro makes his entrance in the Thundertank! Then Panthro nunchuking a lizard as soon as he pops out.But while we're here, we live to the fullest!" that, coupled with the first time that we see the thundersignal really appear, gives you the emotional backbone that you are gonna need to finish the episode. "We're all leaves in the wind, here and then gone.
Later the rest of the Petalars save the Thundercats from Lizards. Emrick, a small plant-like humanoid takes on a giant (for his size) bird with his leaf-sword twice.Followed by him singlehandedly slaying the Ramlak by slicing it open after it already ate him. The moment when Lion-O stops obsessing over revenge and saves the crew of Fish People.(It could be argued the ONLY fighter, since the crew were mostly ineffective) Even given his character flaw he was the best fighter on his crew. And it's a shot-for-shot remake of the original sequence. Friedle's delivery of "Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats, hooo!" is so awesome even Mumm-Ra can't stand it.Lion-O wielding the Sword of Omens for the first time and handing Mumm-Ra his ass.Especially since it shows the Lizards will NOT be comic relief villains this time around. Slithe's line "How quickly things change for the cats: from top predator, to endangered species! In a single day!" and the ensuing explosion is pretty awesome.You guys remember the Darker and Edgier we were promised in the trailer? You'll probably get get more than you wished for when you see how easily the Lizards overtake Thundera.One of Cheetara's crowning moments of awesome is here when she saves Jaga's life during the battle leading to the fall of Thundera.Cheetara is a member, Jaga is the leader and his Battle Cry is "Clerics, to the death!" The first time we see them in action, the members all use their speed powers simultaneously and save the royal family. Claudus taking on a traitor and kicking his technology-wielding ass with the Sword of Omens.Doubles as a (equally meta) Hearwarming Moment. A meta example where Claudus leads his army to battle-Larry Kenney gets to say, "THUNDERCATS, HO!" one last time.
