Safari Joe does it again!

Another perfect landing.

Tell me mule, can I hit a target or what?!

With spaceships, with weapons, my aim's always perfect.

That's why I'm the best big game hunter in the Galaxy.

You’re a living Safari Joe.

These big cats you found for me, better be a decent challenge.

ThunderCats, sir.

Big cats, Aqua cats, sky cats...

I have hunted them all.

You haven't hunted ThunderCats, sir.

They're different.

We've never encountered life force readings like these.

Then get to work, you lazy mule!

Do I have to set up the Holojector myself?

I should be watching prey specifications, right now!

A good hunter knows everything about his prey...

before moving in, for to kill.

I'm finally getting the hang of this.

Way to go!

No! No!

Look out!

You are a show off, Wilykit.

Your space boards are fixed alright, Thunderkids.

Wilycat, stop that!

But I didn't do anything.

Wilycat! -Wilykit!

Safari Joe does it again!

Blast! Its no use.

Whoever landed that ship set up some kind of electronic blind.

Our laser scopes can't see through it.

Very curious.

An entire acre of jungle turned invisible.

Lion-O should know about this Tygra.

It's all clear.

Just a few more feet and I... -Snarf, Snarf! Snarf...

I'll never beat you in this kick the bucket game, Snarf.

Want to give it another go?

Well, okay. But you shouldn't kick the bucket so hard next time.

Next time will have to wait.

-Why Cheetara? What's happening? - A spaceship landed.

Is it friendly? -We don't know.

Yes, I tried, sound-waves,

and alpha-waves, radio-waves.

Nothing works.

Do you think it's the Mutants? -Technology's too advanced for them.

Maybe the Sword can penetrate this blind wall.

Sword of the Omens, give me sight beyond sight.

Hey, there IS some sort of electrical interference.

I can see it, but not through it.

Not even the Sword of the Omens can through that blind.

I'm going to check it out. -I'll go with you.

Congratulations sir. A successful hunt.

Will these cages hold them?

The bars are made of Thundrainium.

A substance that somehow weakens ThunderCats.

Now, who's next on the Holojector?

ThunderCat prey: Tygra, the architect.

Defense system: para-normal strength,

agility, an energized bolo whip,

and invisibility.

Weakness: except when he's invisible,

Tygra cannot swim.

ThunderCat prey: Cheetara.

The swift one.

Defense system: super speed,

para-normal senses,

including undeveloped sixth sense,

and a power stave.

Weakness:

Cheetara can maintain speed only short distances.

She is vulnerable to fire,

lightning and energy bolts.

These full grown ones are dangerous.

Any recommendations Mule?

Neutralize defense systems.

Pity the beasts.

Pity'em when Safari Joe goes hunting.

Tygra, look out!

Let's see if you run somewhere now.

Set her free, hunter.

Who's gonna make me?!

You? With your Bolo whip?

Don’t even dare to charge me.

Safari Joe, does it again!

I can't find Wilykit and Wilycat anywhere.

I'll take the Thundertank and have a good look around.

You keep your eyes glued on the scanners.

But... -I'll call you the moment

I find out anything.

Doesn't that thing, ever rest?

It wouldn't not matter.

This Thundrainium cage,

has made me weaker than a kitten.

Me too.

And the poor kids.

They went out like lights.

Somehow, we've got to warn Lion.

If only I had my staff.

Looking for this?

Nice kitty.

Be nice, or I'll make your tiger friend into a rug.

At least, tell us why you're doing this, Safari Joe.

Why? For sports, why else?

I'm a sportsman.

No you're not. You are just a bully!

Take that back!

Brave words ThunderCat,

but let's see how brave you'll be,

with your friends, Panthro and Lion-O...

safely behind Thundrainium bars, with you.

Mule, who's next?

ThunderCat prey:

The deadly Panthro.

Defense systems:

Para-normal strength. Master of all fighting arts.

his shoulders' spikes are in down with remarkable properties.

Panthro is a master mechanic,

But Panthro is most deadly when he uses his fighting sticks,

and the dangerous substances he might conceal within them.

Weaknesses: Panthro fears bats.

Bats?! That's all?

Yes sir.

Good! I love a challenge.

Moon light too bright.

Even though I'm rigged for silent running, I might be seen.

Well, since there's nothing I can do about it...

I might as well go in with, teeth bared and firm flying!

That must be the electronic blind.

Okay. Let's see if this thing can hold up against the Thundertank

No way I'm letting you have the chance to see!

Had enough, ThunderCat?

You're a wild on alright.

Hah! Safari Joe, does it again!

I'm coming with you. -No Snarf.

Someone has to stay and protect Cat's Lair.

Snarf! But you... you can't just run off into the unknown.

You got to find out what you're up against.

You're right Snarf. But how?

Your opponent's name is Safari Joe.

Safari Joe? -An inter-galactic big game hunter.

He successfully stopped the other ThunderCats,

and imprisoned them in Thundrainium cages.

What should I do Jaga?

Beware, young lord.

Safari Joe knows our weaknesses.

He, is a formidable opponent.

Jaga, wait!

He's gone.

Well, at least we know more than we did.

Alright Mule. Run it again.

ThunderCat prey:

Lion-O, lord of ThunderCats.

Defense system:

Para-normal abilities, rivaling those of other ThunderCat prey.

Claw shield with a ray of defensive properties.

Lion-O wields the mystic Sword of the Omens,

in which is in embedded, the Eye of Thundera.

Mule, what happened?

Eye of Thundera object defies analysis.

At last, a challenge I can sink teeth into.

Do not believe it.

Right by Cat's Lair.

But I can jump out of here without even have trying.

Ah, but maybe that's what Safari Joe wants me to do.

So that's Safari Joe.

Come on, come on, what's keeping you Lion-O?

You can jump out of there easily.

Ah! Here you come.

Come on, come on you.

Stick your head up.

What?!

I... I missed.

Safari Joe never misses!

You've lost your element of surprise, Safari Joe.

And now you'll lose even more.

Thunder, Thunder, Thunder,

ThunderCats, Hoooo!

If you're calling your friends, forget it.

Nothing can help you now, Lion-O.

Your friends are my prisoners.

They are as weak as kittens,

and one word from me, will destroy them.

So, give yourself up!

Never!

Perhaps I underestimated your power, ThunderCat.

But what would you be without that Sword?

Release my friends and I will fight without it.

You could not be that foolish?!

Release them! -The sword!

First, throw down the sword.

Then I will release them.

You have my word, as a sportsman.

Hah! Safari Joe does it again!

Now we know you're a liar, Safari Joe.

Let's see if you're a coward too.

Come and get me.

Very clever, Lion-O.

Lure me into your Cat's Lair,

where hunting you is dangerous.

But, since you have nothing to fight with, except your strength and wits,

you don't stand a chance!

You're not playing by my rules, ThunderCat.

Have you forgotten?

I'm hunting you.

Not the other way around.

Hah! Safari Joe does it...

Snarf! Snarf!

Urrgahhh!!

Uarrrahhh!!

All our of ammo, Safari Joe?

Looks like you ran out of courage, too.

Please. Please, no! Please!

Do not hurt me.

Safari Joe turned out to be a big coward, didn't he, Lion-O?

Most bullies are, Snarf.

Most bullies are.

Alright, say it again, Safari Joe.

Alright, alright. I promise.

I promise never to hunt again.

And Mule, you'll make sure he keeps this promise?

Yes, Panthro subject, kindly changed my work directive programming.

Well then, I guess you can go.

All that's left now is to clean up Cat's Lair.

It's a bit of a mess.

You've got to tell us how you beat Safari Joe.

Snarf did it. He's "kick the bucket" champion of Third Earth.

Is true.

I'll challenge any of you to a game.

ThunderCats, Hooo! - ThunderCats, Hooooo!
