With Bengali and Vultureman, Super7 is nearly done with the Thundercats and Mutants factions. Missing are The Thunderkittens, Snarf, and Snarfer. For the Mutants Ratilla and Ratar-O round up the faction. I don't see them making the generic troop building Jackal Men, the Reptile Men, or the Ape Men...
So, we're now at a crossroad. How do we go on forward when only the Bad Guys have plenty or teams to fill... Wave 5 teased the Berzerkers with Hammerhand. We haven't received a Lunatak yet. We also have One-off villains like Mongor. Sure we have Willa, Nayda, and the Warrior Maidens, Hachiman, Mandora the Evil Chaser,
Sure, we CAN split the Thunderkittens and Snarf to keep the next 3 waves "afloat" but where are we going afterwards?
Exodus nudist versions of the Thundercats? Clothed Child Lion-O? Stealth Tygra? Hammerhand Panthro with Thermochromic paint that changes from grey to brown?
With no idea what the future holds, here are my top combinations for a potential wave:
A Thunderkitten
An Ally to the Thundercats
A Rat
A Berzerker
A Thunderkitten
An Ally to the Thundercats
A Berzerker
A Lunatak
A Thunderkitten
An Ally to the Thundercats
A Berzerker
A One-Off Villain
A Thunderkitten
An Ally to the Thundercats
A Lunatak
A One-Off Villain
Now who would fill those slots is the real question.
If the Ally to the Thundercats, the Lunatak, or the One-Off villain is female, the Thunderkitten is Wilykat.
If all of the non-Thunderkitten slots are male, then Wilykit is the wave's Thunderkitten.
Ally to the Thundercats:
Based on the LJN toyline, Hachiman, Bill or Bert of the Berbils, and Tuska Warrior would be the only available characters. Out of those Hachiman might be the top choice... since this line is cartoon based, Mandora and Willa have higher chances to make it... I mean it's highly unlikely that a moderate group would want Wolos.
Now for the villains we have plenty of choices:
For the Lunataks, all are fair game, BUT Chilla and Alluro seem to be the ones with most chances for making it first due to their close to normal proportions.
Berzerkers are a bit tougher, since they all require plenty of specialized parts. Only Top Spinner and Ram Bam might make it sooner due to their size... Cruncher is HUUUGE!
The random villains have plenty of choices, Mongor, Driller, Safari Joe, Captain Shiner, Enflamer, just to name a few.
My desire to have Mongor is not a secret in this blog... with that said, Driller and Safari Joe might have some high chances of making it.
Then we have the curve balls... just as we saw with Pumm-Ra, the Lion-Jesus and Captain Saltine American, Super7 CAN and WILL throw some curveballs like say the Terator, because of the infamous bloopers... they made a Meme Prince Adam. Wouldn't be surprised to see Mumm-Ra disguised as King Arthur...
So, here's what a potential wave 6 would look like depending on the Category.
One of the Thunderkittens
Hachiman or Mandora
Ratar-O
Top Spinner or Ram Bam
Chilla or Alluro
Driller or Safari Joe
