I stuck with watching Thundercats till the end but will admit that midway through season 3 my watching habits had changed, my interest in them lessened and I watched it sporadically at best. It was adventure and fantasy wrapped into a nice package and had elements of Masters of The Universe, Voltron and The Beastmaster, and this made it a must see toon for me. I can remember being so hyped to watch the first episode of Thundercats and after seeing it, I was not let down. The cartoon, as I said, aired in 1985 and had a total of 130 episodes and ran for 4 seasons ending in 1989. The odd thing though is when I moved to Waynesville in the 1 st grade, I only remember a handful of kids being totally into the cartoon and toys, and they had other top toys to worry about.

I for one was on He-Man’s side, but I could not doubt the power and impact this cartoon was having on all our young minds. I even remember one kid saying that Thundercats was better than Masters Of The Universe and many of the kids agreeing with him. This led to every boy I knew wanting to collect the action figures that were being made by LJN. I was about six years old when the cartoon was out and was in first grade and can remember kids talking about the cartoon and how epic it was on the playground at Beavertown Elementary.

The animation was done better than Masters of The Universe and had a Japanese flair to it that made us believe we were watching something more than a cartoon. Of course I am talking about Thundercats! The cartoon hit airwaves back in 1985 and was a solid hit with the youth at the time. Pity the beasts.Rotten…Rotten….Rotten Ink Ho! Yeah, I know that one was lame but welcome back to my little flashback place on the web, and with it being Christmas Eve, I decided to take a look at one of the heavy hitters that Star Comics has to offer, something that I watched the cartoon of and even collected the figures when they came out.These full-grown ones are dangerous! Any recommendations, Mule?.'Ha, Safari Joe does it again! Another perfect landing! Tell me, Mule, can I hit a target or what? With spaceships, with weapons, my aim's always perfect! And that's why I'm the best big game hunter in the galaxy!.Using the Holojector, Safari Joe is able to learn all the weaknesses of the ThunderCats, except for Lion-O. The Thundrainium weakens the ThunderCats, sapping their strength and ensuring that they are not able to break out of the cages.Īlso in his arsenal is the Holojector, a device capable of generating 3D holograms which provide him with information about his intended prey. He also owns Thundrainium Cages to imprison the ThunderCats. His gun is capable of firing bullets, explosives, holograms, jet-powered shackles and even act as a flame-thorwer. His main weapon is his Gattling Gun which can fire ammunition specific to his intended victim. He is also a big coward at heart, hiding behind a false bravado. This makes him overconfident and prone to failure. Safari Joe's biggest weakness is that he relies too much on his weaponry. Safari Joe is also an expert marksman and rarely misses his target. He first learns everything there is to know about his prey, including their strengths and weaknesses, before he sets off to capture his prize. Joe is armed with a powerful Gattling Gun, capable of firing a various assortment of ammunition.Īpart from being well armed, Safari Joe, like any expert hunter, does not go on a hunt unprepared. He also owns the 'Holojector', a device which is capable of displaying holograms of his prey. His spaceship is capable of setting up an 'electronic blind' which prevents it from being detected. His advanced technology is probably Safari Joe's greatest strength.
