I don,t expect much from the series, like most of it's kind, the first story arc (maybe 2 to 5 episodes) will likely be cool, but the rest of the episodes will be uninspired enemy plans that never change the statu quo, until cancellation.
And of course, there's no way we'll avoid the retarded supposedly funny character. That's not limited to old school series, just think of Jar-Jar or Bumblebee in those new transformers movies.
Still, this makes me look forward to the new toys. If the thundercats are remade to modern standards, we could get some cool figures. I especially hope these enemy mechs come out well! (if they make them) Were did you see those 4" figures, Pdaat? I want to see them.
