ThunderCats still has one of the most energetic, exciting, well-animated and memorable intros of any cartoon, ever! As a child, whenever Lion-O's clarion call could be heard on the on the TV, I would be right there, ready for their newest adventure! Head on over to
Lego Ideas and get your vote in for the Thundertank!
The
ThunderTank is the ThunderCats main ride, an iconic, characterful tank and transport, packed with an impressive range of features. At 1111 pieces, I've tried to capture the look and feel of it as it appears in the cartoon, fitting in as many of these features as possible - and more!
From the front to back:
Opening forehead panel with hidden cannon
Articulated claws with hidden cannons
Greebled front cockpit, seating 2 ThunderCats
Opening cargo/passenger bay doors, seating 4 ThunderCats
Fold-up triple-cannon with platform for a gunner
Hidden storage for hoverboards, equipment, etc.
Concealed tyres with drive chain that helps drive treads
And of course, 6 of our eponymous heroes which I've faithfully recreated as LEGO Minifigures:
Lion-O - with Sword of Omens and Claw Shield
Cheetara - with bo staff
Panthro - with nunchucks
Tygra - with whip
Wilykat - with smoke capsules and hoverboard
Wilykit - with smoke capsules and hoverboard
All accessories represent their equipment in the cartoon.
