They are the show’s background criminal texture rather than a threat. thundercats.fandom’s episode character lists place all three in “Zero The Memory Thief” and again in “Uncle Rattler” and “Zeek’s Power” (the latter marked “briefly seen at Starship Casino”), with Steelwill going undercover as the Space Bandit in “The Bounty Chase.” The episode file’s synopsis for “Limbo Gold Rush”, “three outlaws jump his claim”, matches them, though thundercats.fandom has no article confirming the identification. Naming is unstable: Wikipedia’s “Three Outlaws” and “Rhino” do not map cleanly onto thundercats.fandom’s “Bandits Mob” of Space Bandit, Spike and Cyclops, and none of the three has a thundercats.fandom article.
Voice. Wikipedia asserts Peter Newman for “Rhino” only; no source attributes Space Bandit, Spike or Cyclops.
