Following his first looks at Lion-O and Cheetara, Mr. Home Arcade now completes the lineup of single-carded figures from Wave 1.

With Wave 1 now fully covered, fans can start to see the bigger picture of how MOTU Origins and ThunderCats are coming together in this exciting new line. Also, checkout Mr. Home Arcade‘s YouTube review!

The in-package images of Battle Cat-Man on card shows off how he is packed all geared up! Battle Cat Man’s art panel shows up a close up his face with a partial shot of Beast Man in the background.

The fusion of Battle Cat’s might and ThunderCats’ warrior spirit really shines when he has all of his armor on. , and is adorned with a ThunderCats-style helmet, harness, bracers, and two claw accessories.

From the side you can see the hard lines and detailing of the armor. The helmet does not cover Battle Cat-Man’s ears and it also leaves his cheek exposed, which can be problematic in battle.

His accessories include a helmet, two sets of interchangeable clawed hands, a silver chest armor piece, leg armor, and large shoulder armor. The accessories clearly pay homage to Battle Cat’s classic armored look while incorporating the sleek, stylized design of the ThunderCats.

With his armor on, he is ready to pounce into battle!

With the armor off, the figure’s design includes a green body with yellow stripes, reminiscent of Battle Cat’s classic appearance. In a curious design decision, they did not include any stripes on the back of the figure. The figure harkens back to of Battle Cat’s iconic coloring but with a feline humanoid face that blends the characteristics of both toy lines.

You can barely see any stripes from the side profiles. When he is stripped down to his tight and curlys with his armor off, it looks like he wears black briefs, possibly Fury of the Loom (For warriors who strike fast and lounge even faster) or ThunderHanes (Built for warriors who ride the thunder…and battle in style).

Mr. Home Arcade has some cool comparison shots and here is Battle Cat-Man next to the MOTU Origins Battle Cat, all geared up and geared down.

Here is the figure compared to the MOTU Origins and Cartoon Collection figures and arms parts!

We can also see Battle Cat-Man standing along side a custom by Mega Customx and what Battle Cat-Man’s chest harness and shoulder armor look like on He-Man.

Here are the Wave 1 carded figures all together and they look amazing! Be sure to check out the in-hand images of Lion-O and Cheetara too!

Mini Comic: Third Eternia

The cover of the comic titled “Third Eternia” presents an exciting crossover between Masters of the Universe and ThunderCats. Dominating the artwork are heroic figures from both franchises—He-Man and Lion-O—standing back to back, each holding their iconic swords, the Sword of Power and the Sword of Omens. Below them, Cheetara appears in a ready stance with her staff, alongside other characters and elements from both universes. The combined logos of Masters of the Universe and ThunderCats are prominently displayed at the top, emphasizing the fusion of these two beloved worlds. The background features vibrant, dramatic colors and energy lines that highlight the intensity and epic scale of the crossover. At the bottom, stylized depictions of Battle Cat and Snarf’s helmet that hint at a deeper alliance or transformation theme within the story. Overall, the cover sets the tone for a powerful and action-packed adventure uniting these iconic heroes so let’s dive in!

A dark storm brews over the Sands of Time, signaling an evil disturbance. The source is revealed to be Skeletor, who uses an ancient evil tome to summon a powerful force with the goal of finally defeating He-Man and claiming Castle Grayskull. Skeletor calls upon the Ancient Spirits of Evil to grant him power, offering his soul in exchange. This dark magic activates the Black Pyramid, which transcends time and space in response to Skeletor’s summoning. The Thundercats once defeated Mumm-Ra and the Black Pyramid on Third Earth, but now the ancient evil has returned. Back in New Thundera, the Eye of Thundera awakens, alerting Lion-O to the new threat. Using the Sword of Omens, he seeks “sight beyond sight” and discovers the Black Pyramid has returned and Tygra has been taken captive.

A mysterious planet suddenly appears in the sky, pulling the Thundercats’ ship in with overwhelming gravitational force. Cheetara and Lion-O realize they are being pulled into a dangerous situation, and Panthro prepares for a rough landing. Lion-O deduces that if Tygra is on this planet, then the Tower of Omens is left unprotected. The team decides to follow through, prioritizing the rescue. After crash-landing, Lion-O comments on the immense energy readings and wonders where they are. Still, he remains hopeful, believing this strange place may bring a sign of hope. He then begins his battle cry, raising the Sword of Omens and calling forth the Thundercats with his iconic “Thunder… Thunder… Thunder… Thundercats! HOOO!” A signal beams into the sky, summoning the team. In response, Tygra, held captive, spots the signal and calls out to Lion-O, signaling his awareness and hope for rescue.

As the Thundercats arrive on this new world, they encounter He-Man, who cautiously approaches them. A brief standoff occurs, but He-Man makes it clear he seeks no quarrel—only their missing friend. Lion-O identifies himself and is welcomed to Third Eternia. Realizing they share a common goal, He-Man and the Thundercats agree to work together. He-Man and his allies lead the group across the desert to the Black Pyramid, the lair of Skeletor, where Tygra is being held captive. Meanwhile, inside the pyramid, Skeletor is preparing for his ultimate transformation. He plans to combine the Power Sword and the Sword of Omens to create the ultimate weapon, one that would make him unstoppable—even to He-Man. Despite warnings, Skeletor arrogantly believes no one can defeat him. He then invokes the Ancient Spirits of Evil once more, transforming his decayed form into a monstrous new version: Skell-Ra, the Ever-Living, a fusion of Skeletor and Mumm-Ra’s evil essence.
