At first I was skeptical as the ThunderCats have always had a unique way of doing stories that I really enjoyed and I was not sure that new show would live up to my standards. Our hero, Lion-O started off as an arrogant character but grew up quickly as events progressed in the show. Tigra, who I never was a fan of, is more annoying then he was in the original show and thinks he is far better then everyone. Cheetor was shown in a similar light to the original and was as inspiring as ever. I am not going to give away spoilers but I really recommend you check out the show as the quality of the animated and the story telling are making me want more.

Optimus Prime lives again, the energy of the Matrix has been released, and peace reigns on Cybertron... but all that is about to change with the startling arrival of the newest bred of Transformers warrior – the Headmasters!
