Game: ThunderCat Trivia

Wilycub · February 27, 2015, 12:42pm

Thanks Liam! I’m fresh out of questions at the moment. But I am trying to think of a good one (not as easy as it sounds!). In the meant time, if anyone has a trivia question ready, please feel free to take my turn and post it.

LiamABC · February 27, 2015, 7:36pm

I know how easy it really isn’t! I think we’ve all been struggling of late to come up with new questions, there’s only so many we can squeeze out of a finite source like this, even one as big as Thundercats!

Wilycub · February 28, 2015, 8:21am

You are spot on Liam. So many good questions have already been asked and I don’t want to repeat them or come up with a substandard question. After a bit of brainstorming, I got one which has at least 6 answers:

“Name all the creatures/animals featured in the Thundercats series which actually exist in the real world today”. (extinct or giant versions of the animals don’t count unless they actually exist in that size).

LiamABC · February 28, 2015, 10:01am

That is a good one. Extinct ones don’t count, so that rules out, for instance, the Pterodactyls in “Secret Of The Ice King”.

As for what does count, let’s see. There’s definitely the vultures in “The Trial Of Strength”, and a few sharks have been seen, I think, (excluding the Black Widow Shark of course), and I guess Snowmeow has his real-life counterparts. And are those regular deer in “The Unholy Alliance”? I don’t think the rhino-like creature in “Berbils” is quite the same as our own.

Oh, and at least some of those creatures Snarf employs in “Snarf Takes Up The Challenge” - but I forget what!

Mongor · February 28, 2015, 2:04pm

Here is a list of what I have come up with so far…probably still more:

generic fish- Turmagar the Tuska & Thundercats Ho part 4 (Snarf eats one)
Tricorn Elk- Telepathy Beam
baby crabs- The Time Capsule
mouse (becomes giant after exposure to formula)- The Formula
bats in Mumm-ra’s tomb- Snarf Takes Up the Challenge
piranha- Trial of Speed
horses- Excalibur
deer- Mandora: Evil Chaser

Tygra_Rules · February 28, 2015, 4:12pm

Also:

Spiders (Fireballs from PlunDarr)
Grasshoppers (can’t remember the ep, but didn’t Mumm-Ra transformed himself or sent a plague of grasshoppers once?)

Wilycub · March 3, 2015, 4:27am

Ok, since there are no more new answers coming in, I thought I’d pick the winner. So far the correct answers are as follows:

Liam ABC: (2 answers)

Vultures - “The Trial Of Strength”
Deers - “Unholy Alliance”

I don’t recall any episode in which normal sharks were shown. I don’t believe Snowmeow has real life counterparts. He looks a lot like a Snow Leopard but without the spots. You are right, the Rhino Creature in Berbils is different from real life Rhinos.

Mongor: (6 answers)

Generic fish- Turmagar the Tuska & Thundercats Ho part 4 (Snarf eats one)
Baby crabs- The Time Capsule
Mouse (becomes giant after exposure to formula)- The Formula
Bats in Mumm-ra’s tomb- Snarf Takes Up the Challenge
Piranha- Trial of Speed
Horses- Excalibur
Deer- Mandora: Evil Chaser (correct but already mentioned by Liam in another episode)

I’m a little divided on this but I don’t think Tricorn Elk species exist. It does look like an ordinary elk but no elk has that much hair on its head and usually the hair is darker than the body, not the other way around like the Tricorn Elk.

Tygra_Rules: (2 answers)

Grasshoppers - “Berbils” (even though they didn’t actually exist and were Mumm-Ra, I’ll give it to you).
Spiders -(The Spiders (Bushy) from Fireballs of Plun-Darr don’t count but there were ordinary spiders in some episodes like “Snarf Takes Up the Challenge” and “The Wolfrat”. So I’ll give that to you as well)

The answers that no one mentioned was Yak from “The Crystal Queen” and Donkeys.

So Mongor, with the most correct answers is the winner! You’re turn sir.

New Question:

In which season 2 episode does Panthro ride in the back of the Thundertank?

LiamABC · March 5, 2015, 10:52am

That’s a toughie. I know the season 1 episode (The Transfer), but I’m not aware of it happening in any other episodes.

Mongor · March 6, 2015, 1:32am

Indeed it is a tough question…most of the questions that I can think of that have not already been asked focus on season 2.

LiamABC · March 6, 2015, 8:29am

Quite. I remember asking about this occurrence in “The Transfer” a while back myself! And a more general question about characters other than Panthro driving the tank. Obviously in the later episodes that duty fell more to Bengali . . .

thezaxfactor · March 21, 2015, 2:40pm

Is it “Helpless Laughter”? I think I remember him in back using the rear cannon to douse Mumm-Ra.

LiamABC · March 21, 2015, 3:46pm

I must admit I thought of that one myself, but dismissed it as I think there’s only Snarf with him and Snarf wouldn’t be doing the driving.

Mongor · March 21, 2015, 4:02pm

Not “Helpless Laughter”… a clue to help get the right answer…the episode features the Lunatacs and features the first and only appearance of a Third Earth creature.

Wilycub · April 8, 2015, 12:28pm

Was it by any chance, “Time Switch”?

Mongor · April 19, 2015, 7:01am

You are correct Wilycub!

Sorry it took so long for me to post a reply…I’ve been busy with conferences and end of semester grading.

Wilycub · May 24, 2015, 12:22pm

Thanks, Mongor! Here’s my (rather late) question:

“In which episode does Tygra use his Bolo Whip as a Flashlight/Lantern?”

LiamABC · May 24, 2015, 3:30pm

“The Mountain” - when he and Panthro are trapped in the cave along with Slithe and Monkian.

Wilycub · May 24, 2015, 4:10pm

Absolutely correct, Liam! I always thought that it was a nice touch to give the Bolo that ability. Your turn, sir!

LiamABC · May 24, 2015, 6:08pm

Well, at least this game is moving forwards again! And welcome back, Wilycub!
I’m struggling to think of a trivia question. I was on a bit of a downer earlier this month, but it looks like I’m out of it just in time for my birthday tomorrow.
OK, here’s the question, nothing too taxing:

What do Trollogs eat?
