Thundercats main
battle tank. Introduced in "
Berbils", the 3rd (counting the
pilot) episode of
Thundercats, the Thundertank has been the
dream machine of almost everyone that watched that freakin show.
This glorious machine was industriously built by
mechanic Panthro using salvaged materials of the
Thundercat spaceship (destroyed when they crash-landed on Third Earth). With many of
Panthro's "special modifications" the Thundertank can operate on land,
underwater, and underground. Or, to put it better, it can dive, dig, climb, and roll over your evil mummy ass anytime day or night. The Thundertank runs on the strange fuel "
Thundrilliam" (which also runs the
Cat's Lair).
Things to do with your thundertank:
Protect yourself from
Mumm-Ra's rock showers
Drive it over to
Castle Plun-darr to free the
Brute Men
Transform it into a "Thundersub" when you need to rescue
unicorns from
Berserkers.
Get it trapped between some rocks, and then free it by using
Slythe's Nose Diver to pull it out.
Have it
sabotaged by
Mumm-ra as he is disguised as a faux-
Thundercat named "Pumm-Ra" (who honestly falls for this name crap?)
Help
defeat Burn Out,
Quick Pick and
Plutar
Hide
Snarf in it while you try to fight the
Crystal Queen
Go to
Tuskania?
Toys:
The Thundertank was released (as a toy) by
LJN
It "AUTOMATICALLY SPRINGS OPEN FOR ATTACK!" according to the packaging. YAY! That's definitely an unparallelled machine of destructive engineering.
