Nope, although he does seem to take over driving from the passenger seat. The way the Tank is maneuvered at the end of the scene suggests an experienced driver.
I don’t know about “Malcar”, I can’t remember. But as far as I remember, Panthro stays behind in “Mossland Monster”, it’s just Bengali driving with Lion-O beside him.
Such is my limited memory of the later series. But there is at least one additional season 1 episode where Panthro is a passenger in the Tank.
Additional hint - it’s the only time he ever rode in the rear of the vehicle.
No, Panthro and Lion-O were in the front in that episode. The only time Lion-O and Tygra were seen in the front together was in “Turmagar The Tuska”, at which point Panthro was still back at the Lair fixing the Gomplin.
Actually, it’s WILYCUB who got the most correct, with “The Garden Of Delights”, “Spitting Image” and the sort-of permissible “The Shifter”
Tygra_Rules & Thezaxfactor got “Trouble With Time” between them (TR mentioned it first, then Zax filled in the episode name).
I was waiting to see if anyone could remember a specific answer that hadn’t been given. They were:
“The Transfer”, Tygra was driving, with Cheetara up front, and Lion-O and Panthro in the back (after they’d been chasing Mumm-Ra and Jackalman on foot).
To my knowledge, this is the only time we ever saw Panthro riding in the rear of the vehicle.
“Monkian’s Bargain” - this is an even more questionable answer than “The Shifter”, but I would have accepted it. At the end of the episode, Cheetara says perhaps she should drive home, and Panthro seems OK with that.
Of course, she’s been through the exact same stresses as Panthro in this episode, so there’s nothing to say she’d automatically be a safer pair of paws!
