A reboot of "ThunderCats," the popular 1980s animated series that depicts cat-like humanoid aliens battling evil, is set to premiere later this year on the Cartoon Network and the first promotional image for the new show was recently released.

The new show is a product of Warner Bros. and Japanese animation Studio4°C, which produced "The Animatrix," and "Halo Legends."

Cartoon Network writer Todd Casey posted an image from the new "Thundercats" on his Twitter page, adding: "ThunderCats (officially) Ho!!," a reference to Thundercats leader Lion-O's battle call.

Pictured are Lion-O, Cheetara, Tygra, and Panthro. Among those missing from the photo are younger ThunderCats and twins WilyKit and WilyKat, as well as the team's pet, Snarf.

"Rest assured, he'll be in the show!" Casey said. "We'll try and make sure he's in the next batch of artwork released."

Do you think the new "ThunderCats" series will be better or worse than the old one?
