So, I mostly just made this thread to point out something about the last episode that I learned recently. But feel free to post other 80’s references you see throughout the show.
Here it is. Turns out there were more references in Mumm-Ra’s armored look then we thought.

I don’t recognize the second one, but the comparison to Hordak made me grin!
As i did type before i think you are looking to much into this…
I guess I don’t really see it. There are limitless villians in cartoons from the 80’s untill now that have villians dressed in dark colors and skulls. It’s not going to be easy to pinpoint an “80’s reference” like this one. I think villians basically are always drawn with dark colors and death related symbols.
Who is the red bat guy in the second pic anyway?
Venger!! You never saw dungeons and dragons?

Nope. Didn’t even know the rpg was made into a cartoon.
I’m still keeping my fingers crossed for a SWAT Kats reference…
..A girl can dream, can’t she?..
Yes she can, Swat Kats are fantastic!
On topic: I can see the resemblance, but I dont think its an intentional hommage or anything. Maybe a lack of creativity? :rolleyes:
His name is Venger.
And for the record the D&D cartoon was pretty awesome. I have the boxed set.
Yeah, i got the boxed dvd for 10 pounds. It is REALLY good, especially for its time.
You should pick it up 
15 euro at the Elf Fantasy Fair in Utrecht 
Fantastic show!
Huh, I’ll have to check it out.
That’s Venger from D&D… one of the meanest and most terrifying villains from my childhood 
D&D was a excellent Marvel’s Cartoon of 80’s with Jap animation.
The best Character was Venger.
