Quoted By:
Mark Taylor was very upset by how Filmation treated Battlecat and viewed him as a serious creature and didn't like that he was a cowardly tiger named Cringer who transforms into Battlecat. In early concepts, everyone road a Battlecat like a horse.
Mark Taylor:
>I definitely did not want Battle Cat to look like a real tiger, he was much more that but they sold out on him in the animation and later toys after I left. He or He-Man were NEVER supposed to be silly in my imagination.
