I have to say, i never really saw any real group dynamics between any of the 2011 Thundercats. They never really seemed like a family like most groups in their situation usually become.

Lion-O just regards the others as his followers and they only see him as their leader

Tygra and Cheetara are the only ones with a relationship, and both only see Lion-O as their leader, Panthro as the muscle/brain and Kit and Kat as the kids of the group

Panthro only seems to see the others as "kids" he's looking after and doesn't view any of them as equals

and

Neither WilyKat or WilyKit seem to have a bond with any of them.

Blame that on how the show was structured. Simply not including the Code of Thundera from the old show just killed the new one.

The kits were kids instead of pre-teens like the old show. The rest of them were teens except for Panthro who was turned into a big buffoon with robot arms who had no clue what was going on half the time, jeez..

Bengali said it best. The others only followed Lion-O out of respect for his title because he was not a competent leader or warrior.
Cheetara, Kit and Kat were very bland and characterless with the exception of one episode each.
Panthro had so much potential as he was a true warrior but became a joke.
Tygra was an interesting character who suffered thanks to the writers. He had so much skill and abilities he was arguably the best overall warrior of the group.

The planned-but-ultimately-canned second season that was revealed by Dan Norton, one of the show's crew members, would've made things worse for our heroes.

There's always dynamics within a group, in my opinion. Since I cannot remember the episodes in clear detain, I cannot really bridge the situation to their reaction. However, I do not think that considering the presented current situations of the series is enough. The situations of the backstories presented in the series could possibly explain part of the behaviors exhibited by each of the main characters in their current situations. I wonder how much of their present behaviors were learned from past situations.
