My guess would be that the series will start in a very similar fashion to the '84 Transformers series, More than Meets the Eye, and most of the leaked trailer will be from the three-part premiere. By all appearances, they're really trying to set the Thundercats up as an elite ruling class, with the Plunndarian mutants being their slaves (and Grune as the chief slave-master!).
I got the definate impression that Lion-O may be very sheltered, and may not realise what is going on in his father's name. It also seemed as though Cheetara is trying to get a message to him, maybe to open his eyes to the plight of the mutants.
Another thing I got from the trailer was that it seemed as though it may have been the first time Lion-O was granted "Sight-beyond-sight" by the Eye of Thundera. Could it have been showing him what he'd been sheltered from in his ivory tower?
Also, if all these theories
are
correct, it could all add fuel to the fire that seems to be present between Lion-O & Tygra if Tygra supports the mutant enslavement.
Without question, the Thundercats will relocate
very
early in the series. Reasoning? The
MTV interview
with Ethan Spaulding that this very site posted a few weeks ago.
Quote:
MTV: And Panthro's looking a little more grizzled with that scar on his eye and such...
SPAULDING: Yeah, we're making him the older veteran. He's been out there on
Third Earth
exploring. He's the elder of the group, once they get together.
He explicitly states Panthro has been exploring Third Earth, so unless he's being held over until the end of the series too, if the theory about Mumm-Ra not being a major player until later plays out, then they're going to have to set the majority of the series on Third Earth.
Another couple of clues: Tygra's toy has a significantly different costume to the one he's sporting in the trailer.
Finally, unless the Berbils are now residents of Thundera, the concept art has been shown for their village (behind closed doors) at the NYC Toy Fair.
In short, the first three-parter will tell the story of the Thundercats civilisation being something close to the Roman Empire, complacent and decadent, with a few young Thundarians (ie, Cheetara) looking to open the eyes of the young Lord-to-Be to the wrongs being inflicted on another race by his father's trusted servants (ie, Grune). An uprising, probably led by Ssslithe (or Ratar-O?), sets off a chain of events that force Lion-O et al to leave Thundera for Third Earth. Whether this is some kind of exile for using the Eye of Thundera (and subsequently defying Claudus) or if it is due to some sort of catastrophe that leaves Thundera uninhabitable remains to be seen...
