EDIT: I'm really starting to notice the Transformers Animated syndrome in this series, especially in this episode. If it wasn't already apparent in the New Alliances episode, they've really been trying to make the bad guys MORE dangerous. Everyone is critical of Lion-O seeming to be extremely inept at fighting, but this is on purpose. Hell, the only reason he probably even stands a chance at fighting against any of the Mutants is because of what he learned during the Duelist and the Drifter. As powerful as the Cats seem, the rest of the Mutants are not pushovers: it was their cunning that got the Cats to the top of the food chain.
So, like TFA, where ONE Decepticon was powerful enough to take on an entire squad of Autobots, we get something similar from Mumm-Ra himself, his generals, and now Ratar-O.
I agree this was one of the better animated episodes.
As far as the Transformers Animated Syndrome, I never watched so I couldn't say, but I certainly hope that TA wasn't as badly done as the fights in this show. The problem with Thundercats fights is not that the mutants are strong. The mutants are pushovers... if the cats don't fight like morons. When the writers want the cats to win, they do so in two seconds using their most basic skills, when the writers want them to lose, the cats totally forget they have those same skills.
Probably the ONLY villain not guilty of this so far (and that's really because we've seen him only once) is Ratar-o. He seems to have been a legitimate threat. Though you still have to wonder why Lion-o doesn't use his laser.
