OK, any R’s?
One R:
_ _
_ O _ ,
_ _ R _ _ _ !
Letters: R O N
Hmm, tricky. OK then, let’s have the T’s.
Tricky, indeed! Two Ts:
_ T
_ O _ ,
_ _ R _ _ T !
Letters: T O R N
Have at you, varlet!

And T’s?
And now you will taste… victory?
Well done, Liam! “Varlet” is definitely one of those words I can thank ThunderCats for teaching me, right up there with “mercenary” and “pusillanimous”.

It’s funny how we can point to shows like this as where we learned particular words. I learned the word mercenary from another 80s cartoon, Visionaries, where the character Reekon was often described as such. (It’s a great show if you don’t know it, we covered it in ROCKS a couple of years back, feel free to watch now and join the discussion if you like!)
Words that I definitely first heard on Thundercats were perhaps more mundane, “negative” and “period” were curious words that I heard for the first time in both cases in the episode “Pumm-Ra”.
I’m a bit swamped at the moment, I’ll come up with a fresh puzzle maybe tonight or tomorrow.
OK, here we go:

How about an S?
I’ll ask for T
Plenty of both - and welcome back Wilycub!
_ T ’ S

Used: S T
Any Os? And might there be one more S in the third word? [emoji51]

You’re quite right, I did slip up there! Also I put one of the T’s in the wrong place initially!
And yes, there are some O’s. Something tells me you know what this is already!
_ T ’ S
_ _ _ _ _ O _ _ ’ S
_ _ S _ O _ S _ _ _ _ _ T _
T O
_ _ O T _ _ T
T _ _ S
_ _ _ _ _ T
Used: S T O
Yeah, I noticed the T, too, but didn’t want to be too presumptuous.
“It’s everyone’s responsibility to protect this planet.” Panthro in the final scene of the series!

That’s the line! I was initially hoping to put in the very final line but they just end with the standard Code Of Thundera stuff, nothing distinctive to that episode, so I went with this line instead, as it seems especially relevant now.
In any case, congrats and your turn Zax!
Thanks, Liam. Overgard’s environmentalism did always feel very earnest, even when it was far-fetched! Here’s a new one:

Let’s start with a 50-50. Any I’s?
Three! Though perhaps not where you expected… [emoji102][emoji6]

Let’s have the T’s then!
