"ThunderCats Roar!": Meet Thunderkittens Wilykit & Wilykat – They Think Mumm-Ra Looks Like an Ugly Baby [VIDEO]

Love it or hate it (we're lovin' it), Cartoon Network's reboot of the feline-like alien heroes ThunderCats Roar! makes its way onto our screens with "Exodus Part 1 & 2" starting this Saturday, February 22 (unless you already previewed it through the app). With only a few days to go, the network's released another video in its "Who's Who" series to get everyone up-to-speed on these familiar-but-more-fun feline avengers.

Starting with ThunderCats team leader, Lion-O, we we're given a look at Cheetara, super-speedster whose keen mind keeps her one step ahead of Mumm-Ra. From there, we met Panthro, the team's muscle but also a master fixer – followed by Tygra, Lion-O's teacher and the team's "brains".

Now, it's a look at the team's Thunderkittens – Wilykit and Wilykat. They may be the youngest Thundercats, but this brother-sister tag-team doesn't back down from a fight – even if it's "ugly baby" Mumm-Ra:

Staying true to the original series' premise, Lion-O, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, Wilykat, and Wilykit — The ThunderCats – barely escape the sudden destruction of their home world, Thundera, only to crash land on the mysterious and exotic planet of Third Earth. Lion-O attempts to lead the team as they make this planet their new home. A bizarre host of creatures and villains stand in their way, including the evil Mumm-Ra, Third Earth's wicked ruler who will let nothing, including the ThunderCats, stop his tyrannical reign over the planet.

"ThunderCats Roar!" season 1, episode 1 "Exodus: Part 1 & 2" – Fleeing the destruction of their home planet Thundera, Lion-O and the ThunderCats land on the mysterious, dangerous, all-around awesome world of Third Earth! But their enemies, the Mutants of Plun-Darr have followed them and it turns out Third Earth already has a Mumm-Ra problem, can Lion-O learn the ropes of being a leader in time?
