MOTUC's "Core" Evil Warriors

[Forcehunter]

So, with this line and people getting back into collecting these past four years I find myself asking who is considered a "core character" for the Evil Warriors in MOTUC. Who do you consider the essential line up of minions for Skeletor (obviously he HAS to be in there). My line up for "core" baddies has become something like this:
Trap-Jaw
Tri-klops
Clawful
Evil-Lynn
Mer-man
Whiplash
Beastman

Webstor never really stood out for me in the old series. Panthor had a small presence. Even in the MYP run he kind of faded away. Two-Bad is awesome, no doubt about that. I just think they underrated the character in the series (both of them). So yes, i guess the charter baddies are the most essential. Agree? Disagree?

My core Evil Warriors:

(from more to less important)

1) Evil-Lyn
2) Beastman
3) TrapJaw
4) Triklops
5) Merman
6) Kobra Khan (though a Snake-Man, I think that he is more important as a character than many others...)
7) Whiplash
8) Clawful

Webstor, Spikor, Two-Bad, Jitsu, Faker, Stinkor and Panthor would be secondary Evil Warriors

Screech, Ninjor, Scareglow, Blade, Saurod or Twistoid would come after all these.

i agree with jdscissorhands' order

[Delthaindia]

beastman
merman
tri-klops
trapjaw
evil lyn
webstor

[wundarwarrior]

For me it's:

Tri-Klops
Trap Jaw
Evil Lyn
Whiplash
Merman
Beastman
Clawful

Those are the main warriors IMO. But I think Panthor is to always be included with Skeletor.

[Tzadkiel]

I tend to just go with the main ones from the early show. Tri-Klops, Trap Jaw, Evil-Lyn, Beast Man, and Mer-Man. Whiplash and Clawful need not apply.

[Wakko]

I think most would agree that the core has to include Evil-Lyn, Tri-Klops, Trap Jaw, Mer-Man and Beastman.

Clawful and Whiplash are sort of second-tier after that, followed by Webstor and Stinkor.

Others like Jitsu, Faker, etc., however cool they may be, don't fall into the core group.

[Thatman]

In early Filmation, there was a "Council" of sorts - Skeletor, Evil-Lyn, Beast Man, Mer-Man, Trapjaw and Tri-Klops. That's what I tend to think of as 'the core'.

Panthor's a pet, really. Clawful, Whiplash, Webstor and Two-Bad are all important to me personally but are secondary in the grand scheme of things.

[cbomb23]

Except Clawful was Skeletor's "right hand man"

[Krueger]

Beastman
Evil-Lyn
Trap-Jaw
Mer-Man
Tri-Klops

Those are the first tier ones, IMO. Then the second tier ones would be Webstor, Spikor, Whiplash and Clawful. I think characters like Jitsu, Two-Bad, Faker and Stinkor are third tier characters. Also, I'm not counting Panthor. Like Battle-Cat with He-Man, IMO, he and Skeletor go hand in hand.

[Berserker79]

Evil Lyn second in command

Beast Man
Mer Man
Trap Jaw
Tri Klops

Webstor
Clawful
Whiplash
Two Bad
Jitsu
Spikor
Stinkor
Scare Glow
Faker
Zodac
Kobra Khan

Don`t care about the rest

[Lich Leech]

I always thought that evil warriors were much more fun than the heroes in MOTU.

My core group in order of relevance:
Beast Man
Mer-Man
Clawful
Whiplash
Trap-Jaw

But mostly the first two. There's something magical about the original three evil warriors. Of course this is influenced by the ones I actually enjoyed most as a kid. Arguably Evil-Lyn is more essential than my last three picks, but I never cared that much about her.

[FAKER II]

My personal favorites are:

Faker (really hoping for a Leo version in MOTUC)
Beast Man
Evil Lyn
Trap Jaw
Tri Klops
Mer Man (really hoping for a classic toy version in MOTUC)

[MegaGearMax]

In early Filmation, there was a "Council" of sorts - Skeletor, Evil-Lyn, Beast Man, Mer-Man, Trapjaw and Tri-Klops. That's what I tend to think of as 'the core'.

I tend to agree with that. It's pretty much the 12 back Evil Warrior lineup, just swap Faker for Evil-Lyn.

[DVD]

Beast Man
Evil Lyn
Trap Jaw
Tri Klops
Mer Man

I like to go in "seasons" and those are the first season Evil Warriors for me.
Second season is:
Whiplash
Clawful
Kobra Kahn
Webstor

Faker is a creation of Skeletor/Tri Klops/MAA so he doesn't really fit in any single group. Ditto with Panthor. He's just kinda there.

This.

In the early Filmation episode, "Diamond Ray of Disappearance" (I think it was) Skeletor calls his 'evil warriors' to his side. The above names are who he calls.

[NorthCoast]

For me it's:

1. Beast Man
2. Evil-Lyn
3. Trap Jaw
4. Mer-Man
5. Tri-Klops

[iron_pride]

Beast Man
Mer-Man
Trap Jaw
Tri-Klops
Evil-Lyn
Faker

Panthor
Screech

[darthdrew13]

I'll have to say...

Beastman
Evil-Lynn
Mer-man
Trap-Jaw
Tri-klops

if that ain't enough...
Clawful
Whiplash

But Panthor was around a lot in the old Filmation and he "almost" gets labeled as an evil warrior. Regardless, he's a staple.

[bcrduke]

The core to me are:

Evil-Lyn
Beast Man
Panthor
Mer-Man
Tri-Klops
Trap-Jaw

[Mysterio]

As some others have said:

Beastman
Evil-Lynn
Mer-man
Trap-Jaw
Tri-klops

Same here. The Evil Warriors have always been my favorite faction.

I kind of use their presence throughout the different incarnations as an indicator. To me, the absolute core is Skeletor and Beast Man, with Mer-Man and Evil-Lyn standing on the edge of that table, with Tri-Klops and Trap Jaw right outside of it. Next level would be the guys that seem to be hanging out in Snake Mountain somewhere, like Whiplash, Clawful, Two-Bad, Spikor and Stinkor. Faker sort of straddles the divide between them and the next level, which is the various one-off type mercenaries, outsiders and occasional allies (Ninjor, Blast Attack, Scareglow, Webstor, Kobra Khan, Karg, Goat Man, Blade, Saurod, Fang Man, Draego-Man, Icer, Marzo, Evil Seed).

[shadowfall1976]

Add Faker to your list....Panthor....

[Coptur]

Well given Jitsu's bio i'd put him higher up in the hierarchy.
Skeletors faction has always been hard to pinpoint the chain of command as each character brings something different to the table.

[Saved]

Evil Lyn second in command

Beast Man
Mer Man
Trap Jaw
Tri Klops

Webstor
Clawful
Whiplash
Two Bad
Jitsu
Spikor
Stinkor
Scare Glow
Faker
Zodac
Kobra Khan

Don`t care about the rest

Agreed...................
