I finally got round to watching the rest of the Thundercats series and I have to say its better than the original.
Its just so awesome and brutal too the first two episodes were so damn good. Best opening to a series in years!

WTF is a Samoflange
Snarf was less annoying which is a good thing no whiny ass "Snarf Snarf".
& I love the inclusion of Mon*star & the Tigersharks.

Mon*star is the monster looking chappie with the freaky hair & the eyepatch from the Silverhawks & the fish bloke looks like Mako from the Tigersharks

Must be from season 3 or 4 I don't remember those either
The 80s stuff doesn't really age well, I watched the entire transformers collection a couple of years ago. Now I know why people end up in the loony bin.

Mon*star was the main villain from the Silverhawks & more awesome than Mumm-ra as both of his forms were badass monsters & he rode a big robotic space squid & the Tigersharks was a show about intergalactic maritime salvage experts who could become humanoid fish & aquatic mammals & fought aquatic themed villains.

Tigersharks opening:

I remember Silver Hawks but it just didn't do it for me
Tigersharks is a total blank

We didn't get Tigersharks at all over here, probably why you're drawing a total blank.

That's probably it. then again I don't remember Silver hawks over here. I used to watch it in Greece during the summer. Thankfully it was subtitled
Galaxy Rangers and Visionairies were also awesome. I'd love to see a Visionaries reboot but It wasn't popular enough

We had some Silverhawks only on video & Book & Cassette sets though.
I'm surprised at the lack of a Visionaries reboot it could arguably be done as a similar yet different to the constant shitty badly dubbed Japanese catch & fight strange creatures shows that keep getting churned out show.
I demand Bravestarr, The Centurions & The Inhumanoids (seriously Guys in mech suits fighting big ass monsters & it hasn't been revived someone needs to kick hasbro in the balls for that lack of intelligence) reboots.

I would love a Centurions reboot!! With 6" figures to follow
Ben 10 is kind of ruling the "transforming into creatures" genre so anything similar should have been done a few years back.
Bravestarr should have been done along with the awesome He-man reboot!

I disagree, Visionaries is different enough from Ben 10 that there isn't a problem with a new show being compared to Ben 10 (also Ben 10 is rather old in kids tv terms so it's time for new blood), with the Hub tv channel Hasbro have a chance to revive alot of their older franchises as opposed to rebooting transformers & GI Joe every couple of years.
I don't even know who owns the Centurions license
The company who currently own Bravestarr Classic Media have no fucking clue what they are doing all they seem to want to do is dwell on nostalgia & don't bother trying to reboot franchises.

You have a point there.
Centurions was owned by Ruby-Spears (just Wiki'd that lol) Hasbro made the toys so there's a chance for a reboot.
They do need to redo some of the lesser known (lesser known to the masses). Its not just TF or Joe (renegades was awesome) its marvel constantly rebooting Spiderman, ironman and the X-men that pisses me off. I don't think people care anymore judging by their short runs.
Al I loved Insecta warriors! My God mother (always one step ahead of the game and knew what I liked) bought a butt load of those figs!
Spectral Knights was Visionairies (i just googled that. had no idea) weird. Was it called Spectral knights in the states?

Dino Riders needs a reboot and most of all MASK needs a reboot. There was talk of one but that's was probable rumours

What if the Ninja Science Team went missing in action on their last mission on Planet Spectra and after ten years they put together a new team and built a new God Phoenix Ship? Their 1st mission recover the old God Phoenix or destroy it if need be, They were not expecting to find survivors....ok I put to much thought into that.

Yeah I think Warner or Hasbro own the Centurions rights nowadays as Ruby-spears & Kenner haven't existed in years.
You could argue the same for DC & it's constant reboots of Batman although I do feel the need to point out that while he is in Avengers: EMH & Superhero Squad, Iron man has only actually had 2 solo shows in 20 years excluding the anime.
It was Visionairies in the states too.
Bugmen of Insecta is one of those lines that the Four Horsemen would just kick ass with.
A MASK revival was just a rumour caused by the inclusion of Matt Tracker in the GI Joe 25th line.
Mattel's Imaginext brand has a Dino Riders inspired line
No ones mentioned ROM Spaceknight yet very disappointing.
What's happened with the Imagi Gatchaman reboot?
