Here, we are introduced to the ThunderCats; the whole naked lot of them. Well, except Jaga is clothed but we didn't want to see his wrinkled ass anyhow. We see our heroes as they flee ThunDera as the planet is in its death throes. They escape just in time to see their home self-destruct. But they survive! Tragedy is averted! Happily ever after!....er, no.
The Mutants attack just as Jaga is explaining to Lion-O, who is but a cub, that he must lead the ThunderCats and learn to use the Sword of Omens. All of the ships around the royal flagship are destroyed, and the Mutants board the ThunderCats' ship in search of the Eye of ThunDera.
The Mutants fail to gain the Eye, but damage the ship so badly that the ThunderCats must make the remainder of the trip in suspension capsules designed to slow the aging process. Unable to make it to their original destination, Jaga remains behind to pilot the ship to an unknown planet they decided to settle for.
Jaga dies en route, and when they finally land on Third Earth, Lion-O finds he's full grown. Which is kinda lucky as the Mutants are close behind, ready to mop up and take the Eye of ThunDera for themselves. The ThunderCats manage to survive the ensuing skirmish, but wonder if they will be able to survive on their adopted planet....
"If you guys were as mean as you are ugly, then maybe you'd be trouble!" Panthro, to a group of jackalmen.
Jaga claimed the Eye rested on ThunDera, known only to him....
Lion-O ages substantially, but none of the others do, including Kit and Kat. This is never really explained in the series, but many fans of the show assume Lion-O must have gotten into the one flawed capsule....convenient fer sure.
