Dang! I was hoping someone was going to go to the trouble of coming up with a hero(or villain) for every open spot on Battle Bones.Originally Posted by GrtEternal
BATTLE BONES is everybody's!
Something like Arrow or Storm would be a very real possibility, almost inevitability, if we get Swifty to go with She-Ra (assuming we get Bow and Catra, that is). Same goes for Stridor and Night Stalker. Any steed they can use more than once is a candidate for production if Battle Cat and Panthor do well (and Panthor is a given unless Battle Cat doesn't sell, a very unlikely possibility).

Surprised no one has mentioned Beastman and his Griffen!

And Mer-Man has that huge sea monster (cf. 200X cartoon) !
*** I totally found the green winged dragon in a thrift store last year and bought him. I wondered what he was from, and thought he'd be cool with my MOTU collection. Now I'm glad I found him! Mine has yellow wings, though... is that a variant???
Blackstar's dragon is called Warlock, and yes, there were 2 versions. You can see them both here for a comparison : http://www.action-figures.ca/blackstar.htmMine has yellow wings, though... is that a variant???
I always thought Warlock was a real cool steed, and I wish there was some kind of dragon like him in MOTU (Granamyr is different because he's a wise/intelligent dragon, while Blackstar's Warlock is just an animal).
By the way, the Mongor dragon is cool too ! I wonder if it's hard to find...
It's funny how Filmation, not having much success with Blackstar, scored such a huge hit with He-Man a few years later. While He-Man has so much more going for it than Blackstar imo, they are similar enough that the failure of one is surprising.Blackstar's dragon is called Warlock, and yes, there were 2 versions.

Maybe the Blackstar toon was not a success, but the toys were !
It's very interesting to see how similar the concept of some cartoon/toy universes were in the 80's.
Thundarr, Blackstar, Masters of the Universe, New Adventures of He-Man, Thundercats, Tigersharks, Silverhawks, The Unfaceable, Princess of Power, Golden Girl... just to name a few.
All with their own specificities, all with their differences. Some were very popular and sold very good, others not... but they all have a special place in my heart !
I wish they were more successful. They look pretty cool online, but I really don't remember seeing them as a kid(maybe at garage sales, but not toy store shelves). Add that to a list of 80's franchise relaunches I wish we got but never did. I've already got Thundercats, C.O.P.S., M.A.S.K., D&D toyline, Maxx Steele/Roboforce, and the Gobots(yes I'm serious about the last 2Maybe the Blackstar toon was not a success, but the toys were !

I could have sworn they made over 50. Although, as fond as some kids are of watching things over and over again, maybe I was guilty of that as well. MOTU fans really lucked out considering they had 130 episodes made for them(not even counting She-Ra). Super Friends didn't even get past 100 and they were on 6 times as long as He-Man(through various incarnations).

I think it comes as no surprise at all that is wasn't a success if you've watched the entire series.
There's only two episodes I even consider watching again.

For me Mantisaur is Hordak´s mount, so it´s fine.
TOP 25 MOTUC ITEMS WISHLIST

POG: -GRAY -BIONATOPS -TURBODACTYL -TYRANTISAURUS -BATTLERAPTOR
I kind of like the idea of Mantisaur being Mosquitor's steed since they look very similar, almost like the same species.
Marzo had his dogs. They were not really mounts but he could probably ride them.
Take a look at my deviantart. http://kaassouffle.deviantart.com/gallery/
Shadow Master is Kol Darr`s winged steed
(MOTU episode: "Double Trouble")
But Filmation is offlimits so that character can't be in MotuC.

That reminds me of Pluto and Goofy. If they're the same species, is one of them a slave or just unevolved?
Mantisaur is shown with Hordak as his rider, and they even came in a two pack together. But I do love the similarity between him/it and Mosquitor for sure.
A release of the mounts with thier respective rider as a two pack or the mount as a single release would be awesome. Just because they are sold out anyways and some people might want them both, but some people might just want the mount.
Wow, Battle Bones is a *****BATTLE BONES is everybody's!
He who dies with the most MOTUC wins!
Anyone have pics of MOTUC on Original mounts?
Id love for Teela to finally have her unicorn, just like the concept art and mini comics, Teela needs her steed! please
Does Zodac’s flying chair count? Either way, I hope it gets made.
I bought a MANTISAUR on ebay and it arrived today. IT'S REALLY COOL!
I totally accept Mantisaur as Hordak's version of Battle Cat, but I also think that it would be cool to see a legion of those things charging into battle with Hordak's henchmen; that would be cool, also!
Etherian Rebel JOSH for the MOTUC (see my avatar)!
I wouldn't mind it, but it was too close to the New God's Metron imho.
i remember seeing an early battle cat avdert/artwork showing he-man in the foreground on battle cat and skeletor and beastman on two identical tigers like battle cat i believe skeletors had a mask on but beastmans did not, i kinda of like a whole race of battlecats being used by different forces although cringer being battle cat is only through transformation so wonder how skelly and beastman got theres?????????????
Re-watching the 2000 MYP Cartoon made me want Beastman's Griffin - I would think MOTU Classics Battlecats' main body would work - just sculpt a new head, tail and tweak the legs. Maybe the wings could be remedied via the harness/saddle. I could live with the cheat in size just for the chance to have a new beast in the line!
