ThunderCats Bullet Point Story[]

An “environmental health inspector” is on his way to New Thundera to ask the ThunderCats to help him apprehend Two-Time, the evil robot who has been poaching endangered species as well as land masses.

Unfortunately for the inspector, Two-Time is expecting him. Using his mighty ship Dome-Down’s holographic projector, the two headed robot tricks the inspector and causes his ship to crash in the Mountains of the Moon. The ThunderCats suffer the same fate at the hands of Two-Time when they arrive at the scene in the Feliner. The contented robot then dumps a large quantity of sludgy waste on the damaged Feliner before flying off in his gigantic ship.

The ThunderCats salvage parts from the Ecology Inspector’s ship to repair the Feliner and then pursue Two-Time. They are shocked to their core when they see, or rather don’t see Cats’ Lair. It turns out that Two-Time has grabbed the entire ThunderCats fortress using Dome-Down, ripping it clean off its foundation, with Snarf and Snarfer still inside. The ThunderCats sneak inside Dome-Down but find themselves over their heads, or more correctly, on their heads, thanks to Two-Time using his reverse gravity field on them. Eventually, the Sword of Omens rescues the day by spinning and throwing Two-Time out of Dome-Down like a shot-put.
