That’s epic.

Some god choices but some odd choices.
Shogun Warriors would be cool but Shogun Warriors was just a toyline of robots from various animes but a movie with some of those robots like Grendizer, Gaiking, Gertter Robo would be awesome.
Rom isn’t that well known.
BTW that s a really nice piece of Thundercats art work.
Personally I would love to see some movies and new toys of Biker Mice From Mars, Starcom and M.A.S.K.

I myself am not familiar with some of the toys mentioned. There are quite few other toys that could translate well into a movie. I hear there’s a Play-Doh movie in the works :). After the fiasco that was “Battleship”, I think Hollywood won’t be adapting any board games into movies for a while. :wink:

It’s the cover of a TCats storybook titled: “Attack of the Mutants”. It is essentially a re-telling of the episode “Pumm-Ra”.

:thumbsup I am also waiting dearly for a “Centurions” revival, either in toy cartoon or movie form.

Did you ever see Clue? It’s not a bad movie.

Centurions toys were awesome. Do you have any?

No I’ve never seen “Clue”.

I WISH I had some Centurions toys! :frowning: They look so nice and I always loved the cartoon.

I never had any growing up but they looked amazing. I didn’t know the toys even existed until 2003. Only seen two episodes of the cartoon when I was younger. I did briefly own a loose incomplete Jake Rockwell for a while in 2004.
Last week I was in a book shop that sells old vintage toys and they had a loose, I think he was complete, Dr Terror.

Interesting list. I probably wouldn’t see a fair portion of those but there are a couple good ones. I would of course be thrilled to see Thundercats! I really wonder if there is still anything even being discussed behind the scenes at WB.

I’d be thrilled to see ThunderCats also.

It’s always possible. No one knew they were working on the scrapped CGI movie a few years back so maybe they are planning something. But I still think it would be better for Nickelodeon or Disney to buy Thundercats from WB.

And if they are working on a TCats movie, then you just know that Zack Snyder will be involved in one way or another! :wink:

LOL let’s hope not. Maybe sense they aren’t DC characters they might not bring Thundercats to his attention.

A Thundercats movie of course would be awesome if they actually remain faithful to the series and don’t add anything stupid to it, like making Mumm-Ra Lion-O’s uncle or something else.
Nearly everything on that list I have never heard of though besides he-man and TC.

Definitely some odd picks to the list.
The trick with Thundercats, like any movie, is they need to get a good director and writer for it.
