Theories

Yeah, they could make them brothers and instead of saying that Bengali is a white tiger, they could just say he was born albino which is how he can look that way and be Tygra’s brother… :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

Well Tygra did actually refer to Bengali as ‘brother’ when Bengali got his sheild. The writers could have some fun with it. :wink:

And depending on how grey writers want to write Claudis. The Shadow Master’s powers were WAY too close to Tygra’s. The possibilites there are kind of endless. :smiley:

Who was the Shadow Master? The name isn’t ringing a bell at the moment.

Maybe they could be cousins. :smiley:

I believe the lizards will have forced Panthro to help them construct technology. Panthro “agrees” initially to get more insight on technology and to secretly sabotage it so nothing he “helps” with can actually hurt Thunderians. In the meantime, he covertly builds the Thundertank for his own use. So it may be a little reminiscent of Iron Man. Thus, I think the introduction of the Thundertank and the re-introduction of Panthro will happen in the same episode.

Either way, I hope Panthro becomes a regular very soon!

I hope not, just because it does sound too much like Iron Man.

I hope they do it more along the lines of he was hurt and left for dead by Grune. And someone (maybe Berbils) find him and nurse him back to health. Who better to teach Panthro about technology than robot bears?

That’s true, but consider how the Ro-Bear Berbils were like in the original series. I do like the possibility of the Berbils nursing Panthro to health, with Berbil Fruit after being left for dead by Grune.

I also like the idea of Panthro constructing the ThunderTank, before the others meet up with him, but here’s my take on that: I theorize that the Lizards will be the ones who introduce Panthro to technology, but it’ll be the Ro-Bear Berbils who teach him how to use technology and how it works. In addition, after acquiring this knowledge, Panthro constructs a prototype of the ThunderTank in the Berbil Village and later meets up with the others in “Old Friends,” with the introduction of the Ro-Bear Berbils, a few episodes later.

what if

What if Panthro faked his death, so Grune thought he was dead, and then went under cover trying to find out as much as he could about technology in the hopes of ruining Grunes plans, but then it turns out he’s too late to the invasion, and is actually running behind Lion-O and the gang. He’ll have to catch up to them.
:thumbsup:

Mind if I post a theory that’s not meant to be taken seriously? It’s just for fun really.

sure why not?

Very well. But this is for anyone who’s familiar with Swat Kats.

It’s extremely wild but perhaps Thundera is MegaKat City in Ancient Times? I mean, a whole civilization of anthromorphic cats? This had to be that location in the past. Would it be surprising if T-Bone and Razor’s relatives happened to be somebody from the Thundercats?

lols :thumbsup:

What do you think are the fates of the remaining Cats? We saw Lynx-O in Thundera. Do you think he escaped? Maybe he, Bengali and Pumyra are all now slaves to the lizards.

I was thinking it could be cool if Lynx-O was captured (he’ll need a rescue). And we find that Pumyra is the guardian of the Tower of Omens. Sort if a throw back to the OS. Maybe Bengali guards the Book. You’d think a mythical relic like the book would have to have a protector.

I was thinking…

In the old series I think only nobles (ThunderCats) were allowed to wear the symbol. Pumyra etc didn’t have the symbol from the start because they were “only” Thunderians. In the end of “Thundercats Ho!” they are rewarded with red circles and when Lion-O dubs them ThunderCats, the cat in the sigil awakens.

This leads me to believe that the circles were awarded to people of stature in the state in the old series.

In the new series we don’t see commoners carrying the red insignia either. Only nobles, warriors and clerics are awarded the honor, so there might be a heritage from old series.

The cat in the symbol was closely tied to the power in the Eye of Thundera in the old series, as was the ThunderCats own power. Maybe there is a connection here in the new series as well.

If we look at what we know, then the ThunderCats under Claudius reign had lost the principles of the Code of Thundera. Also, Jaga had no intention of ever giving The Book of Omens to Claudius, maybe because he did not think him worthy of the power in the book of Omens.

Could it be that The Book of Omens will awaken the true power of the Sword of Omens, and with that the cat symbol, and further power among the ThunderCats?

There’s also the fact that the Sword does not seem to have the ethical restraint that its counterpart in the classic series did. It had no problem with Lion-O hacking away at the Remlak out of pure anger. Also the fact that Jaga specifically said the Sword had a spell upon it to prevent it from being touched by evil; as a friend pointed out to me, if the Eye had the same principles as in the classic series, why would it need a protective spell?

That’s a very interesting theory.

It could be something in the mix special about Lion-O too.

Remember they were waiting for a leader ‘born of fire’. Which is interesting because I really didn’t see Claudis lacking any fire myself. :slight_smile:

I’m going to get smacked because I never saw OS Tygra as the budding mystic of the group. Between Lion-O’s ability to speak to and control any large cat, ect. I always thought Lion-O was the budding magic user and he was growing in to his powers along with the sword. I can’t help but wonder if they plan to run with that here.

When I first heard that phrase, I didn’t understand the fire to be within, but without – as in baptism by fire. I took fire to mean great catastrophe. When Lion-O was made Lord of the Thundercats, Thundera was in flames. Our heroes were even in a room about to be overrun by lizards led by Slythe, then Grune and Mumm-Ra. We’re likely to see Lion-O become a very strong individual, probably stronger than Claudus. Partially due to Lion-O’s lineage, but also the great trials and tribulations Lion-O will face in his journey, and his ability to learn and grow from those trials and tribulations.

I asked about the difference between Thundercats and Thunderians on the crew blog. What they said was the title “Thundercat” was for heroes.

Also they just answered a question today about the circles. They said they’re blank for both technical and story reasons. So maybe they do have to be awakened somehow like you said.

Heroes… it’s a little odd definition… I wonder what defines a hero? I wonder if that means that Lion-O had to earn the title of Thundercat, and was considered a mere “Thunderian” as a youth until he accomplsihed something?

While Tygra, Panthro and Cheetarah sure was worthy of the title of hero in the first episode already, Lion-O seemed to be a failure who neglected his duties.

In regards to the sigil, I am hoping to see the black cat jump into the sword of Omens… to take its place :slight_smile:

Mumm-Ra’s pyramid looks rather curious. Anyone else thinks it might be mobile? It seems like it could change. They did mention that there’s more to his pyramid this time around that they would be exploring later on.
