Here I was, a big guy watching ThunderCats. I had some ankle surgery because of a sports injury and so I was in the hospital and it would come on every day more than once. Kevin Michael Richardson: I remember watching it back in the '80s. What's your previous knowledge of ThunderCats? How were you approached to play the voice of Panthro? Here's more from the interview with Richardson, who identifies with Panthro. Just think of a pimped out version of the old one. He'll show his silhouette and then he'll use the nunchaku, showing off his skills, but he uses the ThunderTank mostly. It's brief but it's really action-packed and a very cool entrance, I must say. It's when you least expect it and it's when the team really needs him the most. "I was very impressed with how they introduced him," he says. He was like a one-take wonder with the amount of lines he had to squeeze in such a short amount of time."Īlthough Richardson doesn't divulge any details about where Panthro has been ("The show will address that," he says) or how he meets up with Lion-O, it's not difficult to guess. "I saw a rough cut of it a couple months ago and I must say we were all in the room saying, 'Wow.' Atticus ( The Middle) played the young child in the episode. "It was really a heartfelt episode," says Richardson, who's also known for voicing Cleveland Jr. Here's a peek at Lion-O's first encounter with the Petalars: Through this short-lived race, the ThunderCats learn a valuable lesson about keeping hope alive. In "Song of the Petalars," Lion-O and his gang are running from lizard assassins when they happen upon the Petalars, creatures who live their entire lifetime in 24 hours. What's on your Watchlist?

Later, a false Panthro is revealed to actually be the evil Mumm-Ra in disguise. In the reboot, Panthro is first reported to be killed in action. When ThunderCats made its triumphant return to television in July, fans were outraged that Panthro, an integral part of the original '80s-era ThunderCats team, was absent without a satisfactory explanation. "Someone said that on Facebook, and I was like, 'Really?'" "I noticed a little bit of a rumor about that," Kevin Michael Richardson, who voices Panthro in the Cartoon Network remake, tells.

They can be used both as a weapon and as a defensive measure. Panthro also has spikes attached to his shoulder straps that can extend or can spring out attached to some sort of wires or ropes. His weapon is the nun-chuck, which holds a number of concealed substances, usually gaseous, but generally the weapon is used in hand to hand combat. Villains like Mumm-Ra and Safari Joe have used this weakness against Panthro on a number of occasions. For some unexplained reason, Panthro is terrified of bats and often freezes in shock at even the mere sight of one. Panthro's greatest weakness is his fear of bats. His superb engineering skills have on amny occasions given the Thundercats an edge over their opponents the Mutants, who rely mainly on primitive technology. He can build and repair almost anything, from vehicles to weapons to various gadgets.
