The everliving form

I think we’re going to see it next episode. The thundercats search for the book of omens is the short synopsis. I reckon Panthro found out where it is but in the meantime Mumm-ra gets there too (with Jaga) so the confrontation is inevitable!

I think it will turn out that Mumm-ra wins and gets away with the book OR Grune betrays mumm-ra and takes it from him. We also might have some backstory about Mumm-ra’s past.

I’m expecting twists and turns.

Now watch this thread next friday as it turns out I’m completely wrong lol because I don’t know how this “labyrinth” comes into play

Did you notice how when Mumm-Ra tried to transform in the pilot he stopped short because of the Sun rising? Wondering why that is.

Also Mumm-Ra has bat-like features in this series. Could he be from a race of bats on Third Earth or is he perhaps extra terrestrial/ dimensional from Third Earth? Wherever he is from he seems to have a lock on the technology.

Yeah, his pointy, upturned nose is very bat-like. But the way his feet looked when he walked down those steps last episode seemed to be pretty telling… but I don’t know of what haha. Very animalistic compared to the rest of the cast.

Missed half of the synopsis there. It says they look for the Book of Omens and get trapped in a dangerous labyrinth. And the title is Journey to the Tower of Omens, so I assume the next episode is when they’ll find their home base.

Dangerous labyrinth? Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is coming to mind.

They are really making us wait for that Everliving form, huh? I’m going to make a bold prediction and say we don’t see it until episode 13, the last episode in the story arc (they did say they were breaking this up into 13 part arcs, right?) and Mumm-Ra the Everliving Vs. Lion-O will be the climax.

If we get it next episode, that’ll be great though!

Its going to be awesome when it finally does happen.

They’re making us wait. Balgus, on the other hand, isn’t. Making us see it with every post he makes. Thanks balgus. :stuck_out_tongue:

Welcome :stuck_out_tongue:

Here ya go, balgus. I’ve improved upon your signature pic. :cool:

Mumm-Ra the Everliving Source of Pretty Butterflies!

I tried putting a bunch of big smiling faces, but it just wouldn’t work. :smiley:

Why did I get the song from Robot Unicorn Attack in my head when I saw that?

I’m scared.

If you’re wondering what the storytelling reason was, I’d say it’s partially the “leave the audience wanting more” philosophy, partially the “delay the big threat as long as possible to prevent threat decay” philosophy that was used with the Decepticons in general and Megatron in particular on Transformers Animated.

Going w/ the theories hes bat-like, we can assume he hates sunlight and thats his weakness(in decayed form) and stopped him from transforming.

This plus his obvious bat-like features lead me to believe that Mumm-Ra is possibly from a race of bat-mutants.

Plus his Ever-living form has bat wings. Well the toy does at least. If anything that lends more credence to him being themed more as a bat.

I had to YouTube that to know what it was. The game reminded me of Rainbow Brite, the horse looked like Starlight to me. Anyhoo…
