History WMG / ThunderCats2011

*** No but there is a [[TastesLikeDiabetes Trope]]

[[WMG: The reason that Lion-O's mother had trouble having children was due to [[IncestIsRelative in-breeding between the Lions]]]]

[[WMG: Pummyra [[spoiler:Is planning a ReverseMole situation against Mumm-Ra the whole time and the show just never had time to explore it]]]].

[[WMG: Mumm-Ra gained his knowledge of technology from [[{{Transformers}} Unicron.]]]]

[[WMG: Mumm-Ra is a [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Daemon Prince]].]]

* Alternatively to that alternate, they're the [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Necrontyr.]]

** Look very closely at the moon in "Song of the Petalars" .There are shadows on it that look very much like the "Mare in the Moon" seen in the opening to ''MyLittlePony''.

* Hmmm... they will send a desperate call into space to anyone out there on the side of good. Humans will arrive with [[Literature/Bolo BOLOs]]. Awesome ensues.

This will give a PerspectiveFlip on the [=ThunderCats=]' enemies, showing that not all of them are AlwaysChaoticEvil and injecting yet more Grey into the conflict between the Cats and the Lizards. Expect a lot of [[VillainsOutShopping quirky shenanigans]] and perhaps a few [[EnsembleDarkhorse Ensemble Darkhorses]] in the making!

[[WMG: The Book of Omens is a [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Chaos Artifact]] ]]

** No! The world is a [[TabeltopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} Dark Age of technology]] remenant.

** Very possible as both Lion-O and Tygra are ''very'' much [[{{Bishonen}} Bishonens]] and the addition of a LoveTriangle to drive the fangirls crazy.

*** At the very least it could create an interest in old Creator/HannaBarbera properties like ''WesternAnimation/PiratesOfDarkWater'', which considering the popularity of the ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' films would make this a perfect time for a come-back. If you think about it, the plots for this show and PODW are almost identical: Prince sets out on journey with companions and a TeamPet to find mystical [[MacGuffin MacGuffins]].

* Alternatively, Grune will be a straight EvilCounterpart to Tygra. Tygra will be given a NotSoDifferent speech and offered the same choice, but ultimately, he'll go with loyalty to his brother and king instead of power like his [[BrokenPedestal former hero]] did.

** Most of them will refuse to follow Lion-O at first, because [[NiceJobBreakingItHero he forced the captured Lizards to be free and they returned with reinforcements]]. They'll call him out for defending their enemies and say something like he disappointed his father. Lion-O will have a brief HeroicBSOD. But eventually he'll come out of it to help the slaves, who still don't want his help. Then he'll [[CallingTheOldManOut call them out]] for [[NotSoDifferent being as bad as the Lizards were]] when the Thunderians were supposed to be a peaceful and noble race. This made them realize what they had become and accept Lion-O's help and accept him.

[[WMG: The Necro Mechers have something to do with the [[MagicTheGathering phyrexians]].]]

[[WMG:Pumyra will be a ReplacementLoveInterest to whichever brother DidNotGetTheGirl.]]

** Under that logic, we'd also get shoutouts to Garfield, Heathcliff, The Pink Panther, and why-the-hell-not, HelloKitty.

[[WMG: Tookit is Franchise/SlyCooper or a relative.]]

* Or it could be a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming when Lion-O jokingly says, "Great, [[CainAndAbelAndSeth now I have two brothers]] to look after." Bengali will be stunned that the king of the [=ThunderCats=] would just accept him into the family like that (bonus points if he has a tail) while Tygra laughingly tells him to get used to it.

*** The main creative force behind the show is OneOfUs, dropping tropes like "BreakoutCharacter" and "TheScrappy" in casual conversation. Furthermore he was also a fan of the series (especially the opening). I wouldn't put it past him.

* [[{{WesternAnimation/ThunderCatsRoar}} Confirmed]].

** Or, you know, considering that he has massive scars ''all over his freaking body,'' and a partially non-functional eye, [[SarcasmMode he could have, I don't know,]]''[[SarcasmMode lost it in a battle?]]''

** It's unlikely though that all Cats are born with tails, as we can see a young Cheetara does not have a tail in her flash back when she was poor and homeless.

[[WMG: Third Earth is the planet that the crash on at the end of VideoGame/TransformersFallOfCybertron]]

[[WMG: Expect a sort of crossover special between ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats'' and ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'']]

* Cue the ThunderCats meeting the Mane Six and new bonds being born. With Lion-O and Twilight Sparkle forming a brother/sister-like relationship, Tygra constantly quarreling with Rarity, Cheetara challenging Rainbow Dash to a race, Panthro helping Applejack at Sweet Apple Acres, and the Thunderkittens fooling around with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.

[[WMG: The series will be a prequel to the original ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats'']]

As a sort of MythologyGag referring to the racy outtakes from the original ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats'' and ''WesternAnimation/SilverHawks''.

*** The main creative force behind the show is both GenreSavvy and OneOfUs, dropping tropes like "BreakoutCharacter" and "TheScrappy" in casual conversation. Furthermore he was also a fan of the series (especially the opening). I wouldn't put it past him.

This time as a BadassGrandpa. We've already seen him as a sentry, and he looks far more kick-ass than the old man from the original series.

Hey, if ''WesternAnimaton/VoltronTheLegendaryDefender'' can be a smash, why not give [=ThunderCats=] another chance?

** WordOfGod (Producer Michael Jelenic): "It's possible [=SilverHawks=] could appear in this universe. WarnerBros owns the [=SilverHawks=], they own the [[WesternAnimation/TheComicStrip TigerSharks]]... it wouldn't be reaching to think that characters from both of those series might show up in this series. Mon*Star might make an appearance." From [[http://www.ksitetv.com/7348/interview-with-the-creative-talents-behind-the-new-thundercats/ this interview]].

Similar to ''TurtlesForever'', where the 2003 Ninja Turtles and the 1987 Ninja Turtles (and their respective villains) all wind up in the same plane of existence. This could happen if the 2011 ''[=ThunderCats=]'' show really takes off.

** This troper agrees. Given how BadAss Panthro is, he hardly seems the type who would dock his tail for fashion or prestige. More likely, it's loss is a battle wound, either at the hands of a foe, or by his own hand to escape a trap. We might even see a former foe carrying the tail as a trophy later.

* This hardly seems wild at all, as it is hard to believe they'd be able to keep Panthro useful without arms, his friendship with the Berbils is well-established, and we know they possess and are good with mechanical limbs as of the pilot, let alone their own episode. It will also, of course, make Panthro even more BadAss.

*** At the very least it could create an interest in old Creator/HannaBarbera properties like ''PiratesOfDarkWater'', which considering the popularity of the ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' films would make this a perfect time for a come-back. If you think about it, the plots for this show and PODW are almost identical: Prince sets out on journey with companions and a TeamPet to find mystical [[MacGuffin MacGuffins]].

[[WMG: The Driller is a [[GurrenLagann Gunman]]]]

[[WMG: The animals are simply the descendents of regular animals who learned how to use [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Spiral Power.]] ]]
* Towards the end of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Boota manages to use Spiral Power to evolve into a humanoid pig-mole. According to Gurren Lagann canon, the humanoid form is the one best suited to the use of Spiral Power, and that force will cause creatures to evolve along that particular path. Sometime in the distant past, normal animals (cats, dogs, jackals, lizards, birds, sharks, etc) experienced some sort of event that allowed them to manifest Spiral Power, and they gained humanoid form. Cats are capable of manifesting it the best, which makes them stronger and faster than the other races, and also why they look most human of the various animal races. In addition, this explains the tail/no tail racism in [=ThunderCats=] society: those without tails are closer to human form, and are of higher rank because of this. The only ones with magic powers we've seen in the show have been tailless. Also explains the tail/lack of tail of Panthro: eventually, he got enough spiral power that it disappeared.

* So it's sort of like [[QuantumLeap Quantum Leaping]]?
