Top 5 Swords of Power from the 80's

[@LauraLegends]

Hey guys! Love reading all your comments and seeing the reasoning behind your choices! Some really funny ones down there hahaha in regards to why VOLTRONS blazing sword is not on here, I made this video so each of you could choose which you’d like to use for yourselves in everyday life, would you choose he-man’s to turn into a beast? Thundarr’s for easy transport? Or even sword of omens to do.... virtually anything lol last I checked, we are not all GIANT ROBOTS composed of various sections, so that GIANT SWORD is obviously not on here. You cannot use it lol And this was only top 5 swords, this is why Galtar‘s lance is not on here either, it’s a lance... lol I know it can form 2 swords but this is top 5 swords of power. Not a “top 5 swords and possibly an exceptional lance” video lol. To everyone putting down the list saying it’s garbage, I’m garbage and all the swear words and name calling, you’re entitled to your own opinion! ❤️ No hard feelings!

[@diegoviniciomejiaquesada4754]

Laura Legends Thundarr the first Jedi.

[@SlayerRunefrost]

But the Golden Lance isn't a Lance at all, it's technically a two bladed sword. And maybe I'd like a human sized version of Voltron's sword.

[@rockys201]

Sword of Omens had the coolest design. Unlike other swords that were just big and bulky, it had elegance

[@jayjay53313]

Sword of Omens is also the most flimsy that can be broken when Lion-O lost the fight against Luna. It doesn't give Lion-O extra strength, only boosting his fighting morale apart from firing laser beam and giving recon sight. The most powerful sword that could really cut through anything is Thundarr while Sword of Power could turn you into tanned muscular most powerful man in the universe. I would take He-man sword

[@JTDK1981]

@@jayjay53313 I don't know about Thunder, but out of Lion-O's , He-man's and She-Ra's weapons, the Sword of Protection seemed like the most powerful of the three. I remember some of its abilities besides transforming Ador into She-Ra: Contact the Sorceress from as far away as Etheria , strong as He-man's sword (I think the time the crystal broke was actually Adora's confidence breaking. Once she regained her confidence, the sword worked again, letting her transform), and of course turning into whatever She-Ra needed for a particular situation. (Flame, space helmet, rope, shield, etc)

[@jayjay53313]

@@JTDK1981 She-Ra & He-man swords are made by the same manufacturer sorceress of greyskull. Of course they both increased the user's strength and power. The 1 for female has fancy decoration suited for female

[@spencersholden]

Yeah, that’s why I love the redesigned for the Sword of Protection in the Netflix She-ra.

[@Ebdaly]

The Sword of Omens is the one with the most beautiful design and the incredible Thundercats logo on it

[@danieljohnson4530]

Thats the eye of Thundara

[@Ebdaly]

@@danieljohnson4530 yes, the eye of Thundera is the name of the stone, rock or crystal that changes from a sleeping cat's eye into the Thundercats logo (sign)

[@danieljohnson4530]

I was just saying the eye of Thundara and the Sword of Omens are two different things. The eye is embedded in the swords hilt.

[@katherineberger6329]

Oh yes. The Sword of Omens has the advantage in this whole list of weapons that it looks like an actual sword that a person could wield.

[@Lokens87]

Nothing can beat the Sword of Power for me. I grew up watching He-Man and playing with the toys, it has a special place in my heart.

[@ElPrimerMatador32]

Plus, that sword can transform you into the most powerful man in the universe. Then you are also a weapon.

[@shauncrawford6529]

Thundarr may not have the best sword but I enjoyed the show far more than the others. The setting was great and seemed like so much more going on in the art for that show.

[@Fektthis]

The animation was not so great but the artwork itself was very well done on Thundarr.

[@carl_anderson9315]

I remember there’s an episode of The Thundercats with The Black Knight. In that episode they mention that the most powerful sword ever made was Excalibur. Still the sword of Omens is the coolest one.

[@coldsummer3394]

I 100 percent agree with you even though he man is my favorite cartoon out of the top five.. Lioneo had the coolest sword

Sword of Power and Protection are my swords of choice. He-man's sword also adapts his armor based off the situation. Hince Battle Armor, Snake Armor, etc. She-ra's sword also gives her the ability to heal, communicate to animals and strength equal to her brother. Both swords adapt and evolve, making them in my opinion the most powerful.

[@robodude5196]

Wasn't Taarna the last Taarakian's golden sword from the 80s? I guess this list is regulated to television cartoons.

[@pflet87413]

Her character came before She-ra. Mattel probably took elements of Taarna , and built upon them. Hard to beat a sword that gives you the ability to lift mountains, and label you as the most powerful person in the universe.

[@Dinoco9871]

Sword of power is the best because it can't be disabled and its design is much more comfortable than black star. Also, in Deathbattle Sword of power beats Sword of omens

[@chompysaid204]

Fun fact: Skeletor already has the other half. It is in the canonical 80's storybooks that accompanied the cartoon. His sword he uses occasionally is the other half, he wants the complete Sword of Power because it is the key to Greyskull's power reserves.

[@sonicguyver7445]

Has to be the Sword of Omens. The Eye of Thundera can grant so much power. I always figured it seemed to be more powerful as the series went on because Lion-O learned how to better control and focus it's power as he overcame new challenges. Everything it could do near the end of the series it could have done at the start if Lion-O had simply known of what it was capable of doing. Plus how awesome is the command, "Sword of Omens, give me power beyond power!"

@@iso-didact789 Even then, it was distinct but the iconic Master Sword we know was in Ocarina of Time, Link to the Past was thematic but overall got upgraded which changed how it looked and normally just only had a color change from the first sword.

[@x13drbones1982]

I'd rate the Sword of Power #2 behind the Sword of Omens personally. Having a jewel in the middle of the Street of protection that if broken renders it powerless is a major flaw that the Sword of Power doesn't have.

[@corytheobald2166]

He-Man’’s power sword all the way. Although I love the sword of omens.

[@hc8843]

my weekend mornings were sooooo great because of these cartoons!

[@Goldenbane]

I have to go with the Sword of Power. Unlike all of the swords on this list, it has never been broken nor needs to be recharged. The blade grants you VAST super human powers...strength enough to push the moon out of orbit, super human speed enough to reverse tornadoes/whirlpools and out run huge explosions, agility to block bullets and energy bolts from point blank range, and possibly super fighting ability as Adam seemed very inept while He-man was a very good fighter (I can't confirm this though...Adam would often lose to Teela in training sessions...but he might have been pretending to be bad to protect his identity, while most times other loses he suffered were usually from ambush). The Power Sword can pretty much block or parry anything the other swords can do. In the oldest original mini-comics, Skeletor used the blade to teleport, mind control, and empower others, but these probably don't count as they were done before any real continuity (Adam, for example didn't exist yet and He-man normally used an axe). While the Sword of Omens is extremely powerful, and comparing it to the Sword of Power, it probably overall is better...it suffers from debilitating weaknesses. As mentioned, covering the Eye of Thundara renders the blade powerless, breaking or damaging the Eye can also render it powerless...and even kill the entire race of Thunder Cats! The blade itself is not as indestructible as it might seem, as a rather strong cyborg named Tug Mug was able to snap it with ease...again...rendering it useless. As far as I can tell, the Sword of Omens does NOT confer any super human power to the wielder. Lion-O was already very strong, fast, ect...and didn't seem any more or less so when he had the blade or not. So, while the Sword of Power might not have the most raw power of these blades, IMO, it's more than powerful enough and...as far as I have seen in the original cartoon and mini comics, possesses no weaknesses. It's my sword of choice! :)

[@ShinDangaioh]

And with the New Adventures of He-Man cartoon, The Sword of Power's abilities got upped quite a bit and could do other things. By the Power of Eternia! One person mentioned it almost got melted down, but what he didn't mention was that the sword just took it and refused to melt as all other things were melting around it. The Sword of Power is actually 2 swords. He-Man's sword merged with the Sword of the Ancients and gained its abilities as well. Which would explain why the Sword of Power looked different in New Adventures. The sword is able to switch back and forth from classic version to New Adventures version.

[@Goldenbane]

I've never seen "New Adventures." I had a few of the toys, is it worth checking out?

[@ShinDangaioh]

It has a beginning a middle and an end. It is far better than anything that is playing today.

Nothing beats The Sword of Omens. It is so iconic that it is almost a character rather than a weapon. Just the music to cue up the Sword powering up and the Sight Beyond Sight, and just the look of the sword is amazing. My only issue with the Sword of Omens is the "deus ex machine" aspect, but I could easily apply that to most of the other swords too. The Sunsword, Starsword, Sword of Power, and Sword of Protection are all great too...but nothing compares to the Sword of Omens.

[@dewaynebirt3461]

[@daver3628]

NOTHING? Really? Check these out: Season 1, Ep 17, the sword breaks...and in Ep. 51, Excalibur defeats the Sword of Omens and even stabs the Eye, destroying it. (Later reversed in the same episode since the fight was due to Mumm-Ra's trickery.)

[@PatricksCrazyPlace]

OK when I said nothing beats the Sword of Omens, I meant that as I "its so iconic and awesome and I have the most fondness for it because of muh childhood". I wasn't looking to start a debate about what sword literally beats what in a fight. That was kind of immaterial to what I was talking about. I just thought the Sword of Omens was the coolest iconic sword from my childhood...that's all. Yes I know it got broken 3 times, and yes I know Excalibur beat. I've seen all 130 episodes of Thundercats more than once, but that wasn't the gist of my comment. Its like if you asked me who my favorite Autobot was and I said "Nobody beats Wheeljack!" and you're all like "Somebody beat him! He died in the movie! Off screen no less" when really what I mean is that Wheeljack is my favorite. Chalk that up to poor choice of words on my part.

[@brianjohnson5272]

Sword of omens! Give me sight beyond sight! Never gets old, let's not forget it transform from a dagger to greatsword saying thunder three times so you don't need a secondary weapon in very close quarters finally it's a signal flare unpocking your crews full abilities AND summons them to you!

[@dennisalfonso7699]

If I remember right the Sword of Omens was beaten by none other than the Excalibur sword of King Arthur in one episode.

[@morphobots]

YES! Reading through the comments I was beginning to think that no one had ever seen Thundercats. If memory serves, Lion-O challenges King Arthur and is promptly given a lesson in humility when, after the two swords square off, Excalibur swiftly defeats the Sword of Omens. Of course King Arthur's victory is short lived when he reveals himself to be Mummra in disguise. Excalibur refuses to obey him after that.

[@DarkSyde24]

Excalibur didn't just beat the Sword of Omens, it ran straight through the Eye of Thundera, wiping it and all the Thundercats out in one shot. All that power isn't worth much of it comes with a glaring weak spot and ties the life force of you and all your friends and family to it.

[@Burlingamex8]

True but Excalibur didn't have a show in the 80's. I will admit my heart skipped a beat every single time He-Man lifted his magic sword and a bit more when I heard Thundercats Ho! I actually enjoyed the life lessons at the end of each episode too!

[@lilithcthulhu7660]

Sword of Omens, HANDS DOWN the best of the bunch! Besides how cool is it to hear Lion-O yell “thunder, thunder, THUNDER, ThunderCats, HOOOOOOO!”

[@Prowl1701]

Sword of Omens. But Excalibur from the 1981 movie and the one Thundercats episode is a close second.

[@Prowl1701]

I remember, stabbed it right in the eye.

[@xephir5767]

Yep and only reason why MumRa beaten was that his king Arthur illusion was removed. Excalibur no longer follow command.

[@spencerhaynes4364]

Sword of Power. In He-man form dude can shove around planets.

[@jomarcoliverman4971]

Yo thinking about it skellator world be a dope guest character on mortal kombat

[@hadesflame93]

Yeah his name is scorpion 😁 sorry couldn't resist 😆

[@Red_Lanterns_Rage]

Sub Zero....Skeletor, round 1 FIGHT!! Skeletor: ehh, you're not He Man, where is that wimp? Sub Zero: shut up and fight skull face Skeletor: I'M SKELETOR YOU NINCOMPOOP!! SKELETOR!!! ^that is sorta how it'd go down lolz

[@hisexcellency916]

No I would.

[@BravoShow]

That would be fucking sick! They should do that!

[@iso-didact789]

Perhaps he could be a guest fighter in the next soulcalibur. Hey it's less absurd than Ivy's um, enhancements.

[@Gamespotfan1]

This was awesome!

[@Hopson321]

The Sword of Omens has always been my favorite Sword. So that's my take one my favorite Sword. Seeing all these clips brought back memories. Thank you Laura!!! 👍

[@DL6778]

The sword of power and the Sword of Omens

[@jonhbell5333]

The sun sword is cooler and compact the bad part of it. Has to be recharged.

[@jonhbell5333]

The sword of omens is better if it can keep mumRA at bay.

[@fearlessskrull8286]

The Sun Sword is the working man's sword. It's not too fancy or turns you into Steroid-Man, but it gets the job done and is easy to conceal and carry. The Sword of Omens is for the warrior who lacks fighting skill, and needs all those extra features to survive a battle against the common Mummy.

[@LauraLegends]

good points!

[@mcentepede]

This one's a no-brainer...Thundarr The Barbarian. This show was ahead of its time. Great Intro. Great Characters, great friendship. Great Weapon. Yeah we know it rips off Star Wars alot (Chewbacca and Oogla The Mok, lightsaber and Sun sword etc.) but so what? This was possibly the coolest of all the 1980's cartoon adventure shows with the possible exception to the first run Conan The Barbarian. When he finally rescues his daddy after 3 years and Needle the Phoenix bird goes fully rage Phoenix against the villains....this was ahead of its time as well. Friendship, humor, action. Can't be beat. Third place I give to Transformers the first run. With the Dinobots and Optimus Prime B4 he was killed off. Stunticons are my favorite Decepticons

[@stickmanbw]

Lion O is still a child, let's not forget that.

[@dennismokry258]

The Holy Avenger from the D&D cartoon was pretty cool, but wanted the Energy Bow from that. Imagine having that bow and the Sun Sword! That’s awesomeness squared lol.

[@BlackhawkDawn2k7]

Mumm-Ra himself though wields the Sword of Plun-Darr, the sword that destroyed the ThunderCats homeworld of Thundera.

[@Levi_Skardsen]

Lion-O's Sword of Omens is definitely the most OP of them all, and I would also argue it's the coolest looking too. I'd like to offer an honourable mention to Ulysses' laser sword/pistol, however, it's just a regular weapon and doesn't have any supernatural abilities.

[@prof.eurico]

Coolest look, ok. OP, no way.

[@rock21611]

So here's my problem. I _want_ the Sword of Omens. I was a Thundercats kid, I grew up on that show, and for my money it's still the coolest 80's show still kicking around. But practically speaking, I just couldn't use it. I'd get way more milage out of the Power Sword. Turning myself into He-man would just do more for me than the Sword of Omens.

[@jesse4550]

Gotta go with Sun Sword from Thundarr. I mean, he kept it on his forearm. The blade was made out of energy. How cool is that!

[@ghostman3103]

He-Man sword I have the power stomach muscles 😎

[@seatspud]

Forgot about Galtar's Golden Lance. Which could turn into two swords.

[@gregorylevi1826]

Galter sounds familiar, what cartoon was he in?

[@sj7624]

@@gregorylevi1826 Galtar and the Golden Lance

[@gregorylevi1826]

Remy Jay i found it, I forgot all about that cartoon. Yeah it was two swords but I think because of that it should have been added

[@RW77777777]

his bracelet was cooler than his sword; that's not the sort of thing you want to be reminded of on a 'top sword' list.

[@richardblackburn2016]

The sword of omens is the one for me always wanted one when I was little and still want one now i am big lol

[@LauraLegends]

Richard Blackburn Maybe you’ll get it for Christmas 😂

[@marianochorizord3438]

Richard Blackburn BROH CAN TELL THE SWORD TO WATCH GIRLS ON THE SHOWER 😉

[@rubinx8589]

I remember every cartoon on this list! And with this list you can't go wrong! This is fantastic, great list!😊👍

[@tammyhannah9548]

How about Voltron's Blazing Sword? It can be created at any time and cuts all of his ene,irs in half then they explode. It also sounds really cool when Keith says "Form Blazing Sword!" Awesome name for a weapon.

[@BRONCOJUGGALOTALKSMOVIES]

He-man's sword always has been and always will be num 1, followed by the sword of omen then she-ra's sword

[@dboymax1]

I think the He mans sword is the most powerful of the list, if you take into account in the cartoon it wielded the powers of the universe

[@mcentepede]

Technically She-ra's sword is better. But they made them equal

[@trtledave3079]

I was hoping to see what was said about Snake Eyes' sword because that was in the thumbnail, as well as I was curious who the dark hand was holding the purple sword and what sword that one was 😣

[@GarrettCroslin]

The purple sword is the Master Sword.

[@theguardian8317]

The Sword of Omens has the same power that Superman had in early comics: The power of having any power depending on the story

[@dameyonealons7085]

Lol

[@BYERE]

The Sword of Omens had its basic powers of sight, calling, and polymorph (to switch between sizes of weapon), but otherwise it just had a Contextual button, allowing it to do whatever was needed at the time... It was basically a sword version of comic book Superman.

[@rang123yea5]

I've gotta go with The Fabulous Sun Sword wielded by Thundar. Plus Princess Ariel would get it! In all farness so would Cheetra, Tela and She-Ra.

[@kellyespinosacuriel8624]

The Sword of Omen was defeated by the very earthling Excalibur sword.

[@kellyespinosacuriel8624]

Erfan Uddin Season 1 episode 49 "Duel of Swords"

[@margaretseddon4653]

Only one sword for me! He-mans sword of power!!!

[@lordemp7172]

I would obviously choose He-Man's Power Sword!

[@psychedashell]

Blazing Sword of Voltron! Even if it is just for a joyride in one of the Voltron Lions.

[@bigkidforever6388]

I can only relate to He-Man, She-Ra, and Thundercats. I was still a newborn when the other shows came out. I am glad I can share these 80’s cartoons with my son and family.

[@huntercoleman3017]

The power sword for me
