ThunderCats
Lion-O might be an iconic ‘80s cartoon character on par with other great leaders like Optimus Prime, but that’s not why I watched ThunderCats. I tuned in for one character, and one character alone, that never spoke a single line of dialogue: the ThunderTank. The perfect accessory for a band of humanoid cats, the vehicle was half tank complete with treaded wheels, and half robotic feline, with articulated paws and a working mouth on the front that could chomp through obstacles. It was ridiculously impractical and awesome all at the same time, and thanks to Panthro’s engineering skills, it could be adapted to help solve whatever problem the episode threw at the ThunderCats.
