'''ThunderCats''' is an old-school mid-80s [[Science Fantasy]] cartoon published by Rankin-Bass productions. Like it's oft-forgotten sibling, [[Silverhawks]], it is a spiritual successor to Filmation's 60s Sci-Fantasy cartoons like [[Masters of the Universe|He-Man and She-Ra]], being a gloriously silly, action-packed show about a band of alien [[catfolk]] struggling to survive on the far-distant, post-apocalyptic ruins of Earth, in a land where science and sorcery meet, mingle and clash. Basically [[Thundarr the Barbarian]], but with alien protagonists.

==Thundercats==
Our heroes, the last survivors of the planet Thundera, a race of [[catfolk]] that hugely favor their human aspect over their feline aspect. 

'''Lion-O:''' Main hero. Literally a man-child, as he was a 10 year old whose stasis capsule malfunctioned, causing him to mature into a physical adult without gaining any actual maturity before they crashed on Third Earth.

'''Tygra:''' Most wise and mature member of the group.

'''Panthro:'''  Built like a brick shithouse and dual-wielding metal nunchucks.

'''Cheetara:''' The sole female member of the group. Founded the infamous Cheetara Paradox: if you'll tap dat, you're a [[furry]], but if not, you're [[gay]].

'''Wilykat & Wilykit:''' The youngest members of the Thundercats; male and female fraternal twins.

==Hostile Forces==
Mutants: An alliance of space pirates from several other [[beastfolk]] races. Successfully destroyed Thundera, then followed the surviving Thundercats to Third Earth to finish the job.

Mumm-Ra: Either a [[mummy]] [[wizard]] or a [[cleric]]al [[lich]]. Spends most of his time skulking in a coffin. Can power-up into a more badass version of himself by invoking the Ancient Spirits of Evil, but the power boost doesn't last long.

==Remakes==
Like He-Man, there was a more serious, mature and continuity-heavy [[Anime|reimagination]] of the series in the early 2010s. Unfortunately, it didn't catch on for some reason. Due to unpopular decisions to the show by one fanatic showrunner.

There was also a grimdarky sequel comic to the original that was derided by fans.

Then in the late 2010s there was [[Heresy|ThunderCats Roar]], which is basically to Thundercats fans what Teen Titans Go is to [[DC Comics| Teen Titans]] fans. Avoid at all costs. Luckily it was canceled after one season, because [[What| trying to make a make a reboot of a cartoon while aiming at really young]] [[Warhammer Adventures|children when most of the fandom for the original are adults]] is a stupid idea.
