Today at CBR we’re looking at 15 things you likely don’t know about both Lion-O and the weapons he uses. Many have a childhood memory of Lion-O, but there’s a bunch of things about the character, and his weapons, you might have overlooked or forgotten. His uber masculinity, saving the day and yelling epic battle cries, is still a standard to which audiences hold heroes to, to this day. Over the course of the show, the central protagonist, Lion-O, and his Sword of Omens, would become one of TV’s most recognizable cartoon heroes ever.

Created by Tobin Wolf, who also was a World War II veteran and interestingly enough invented the first portable record player for teenagers, his vision of cat-people in bizarre-looking spandex was brought to life.

One of the greatest shows of that decade, or any other if we’re being honest, was ThunderCats. It became the quintessential cartoon of the ‘80s as people would become positively obsessed with the show and ThunderCats’ hero, Lion-O. THUNDERCATS - LION-O & SNARF BDS ART SCALE 1/10 BY IRON STUDIOS,736532715128 COMICAVE is the worlds largest themed pop-culture superstore located in. This video explores the abilities, powers, and origin of the ThunderCats animated series and Wildstorm / DC Comics character 'Lion-O.' From being the heir to the throne of Thundera since he is. That may be rather rash to say, but it is pretty much my way of saying how wonderful ThunderCats is.The ‘80s were a magical time.

Overall, a brilliant show, one of the best animated shows of the '80s, maybe even ever. The voice acting is superb and fit with the characters wonderfully, especially Earl Hammond as Mumm-Ra. Even more impressive are the characters, Lion-O is a courageous hero and leader, Cheetara is a beautiful, vivacious character and Mumm-Ra is a mysterious and sometimes frightening villain with a very sinister yet effective voice. The writing is very intelligent and thoughtful with a sense of adventure, and the story lines are incredibly deep(like I just said reviewing Gargoyles) and complex. In a battle against a giant saber-toothed tiger, Lion-O learns that his title 'Lord of the ThunderCats' gives him control over ALL cats, not just those from. The music is also wonderful, the theme tune is one of the most memorable theme tunes in an animated show ever. There may be the odd occasion where it was perhaps imperfect but that is very minor. The animation is amazingly detailed in general, the colours and backgrounds are very sophisticated and the characters are all drawn wonderfully. As I have said before I have seen plenty of exceptional shows, animated and non-animated, and ThunderCats is definitely one of those exceptional shows. ThunderCats is nothing short of brilliant. The concept intrigued me, so I decided to watch a few episodes to give it a try.

So I decided to model the Lion-O because hes my. I am a huge fan of animation, and when I came across ThunderCats I was interested. A few days ago I was watching again the thundercats cartoon, remembering how great it was.
