Half the people here have signatures with a variation of "Jelenic/Norton/CN RUINED THUNDERCATS FOREVER!!!" Seriously. It's depressing.

See, I am a long-time Transformers fan. I don't happen to like the new show, TF Prime. But I don't go around putting this into my signature and starting threads about how Orci and Kurtzmann (same people who made the scripts for the first two movies, BTW) ruined Transformers forever. I even watch the show, just out of curiosity and because there are some parts and characters of it I do like. I don't collect the toys, though, apart from 1-2 that were to my liking.

I wish the TC fans would understand, if the powers that be axe this show, there is a good chance they won't see any new Thundercats show (and thus, merchandise) ever again. Same way no-one ever revived/rebooted Challenge of the Gobots or Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, or Bravestarr... and likely, never will. Then you can go back to discussing the same old show you all know for the last detail, with nothing new in sight. Is that what you really want?
And man, I would understand you if you have gotten some anime crap with 40-episode padding that has practically nothing to do with the old show... Ever seen Transformers Armada? Basically Pokemon, with Transformers, where for example, Starscream - you know, the guy who in G1, betrays everyone and constantly tries to ursurp Megatron - is an emotionally unhinged impressionable youngster who wants to prove his worth to Megatron, and becomes good friends with some human children, even joining the Autobots for a while.... Just saying this so you can see how lucky you are your revived cartoon is so very close in design and character to the old one.

How are they being faithfully? To what the comic or OS.

You can't compare TF to Tcats. TF has had many reboots. It would be different if this was another reboot for TCats.
