I've never been so hyped for a tmnt episode before. :)

Yeah, I've been waiting for that too

Pretty nice how all the crossover episodes were edited together as one movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I didn't realise they were doing that, that sounds cool

ICK music video available. Those who want to watch it, send me a PM

As nice as it was, it seemed to fly by pretty quick. At least it did for me.

Alright... Perfectly good reason to switch sides?

Rocksteady and Bebop are the henchmen we deserve.

So they save the day in both Turtles Forever and this crossover too

edit: Just saw the Ice Cream kitty special, it was pure bliss :)

I am getting REALLY tired of '80s characters not so great' treatment from all these cross overs. if that is the only way you can separate the teams from each other and make them all seem unique.....you shouldn't be writing them.


Other than that little cavet.....the one episode in the entire series that brought a bit of a smile to my face. from start to finish.

Very little complaints in this one.

I'm glad the 2D Animation was made a little better.
Cameo's, from Robocops head, to I think a Teddy Ruxpin doll, to all the years the turtles show was on the air before the nick sale...

One semi replicated music cue from the orignial series. 'There must be someway inside...'

I'm kind of glad they turned bebop and rocksteady into good guys. I always figured if they had one more episode of the old show, B and R would be tired of being stranded in dimension x, and would call the turtles for rescue to turn over a new leaf.

How were the 80s characters portrayed in comparison to Turtles Forever and TransDimensional Turtles?

Personally, I thought the FW Turtles were portrayed MUCH better in this crossover and TransDimensional than in Turtles Forever. There was some "bashing" on them I guess, and there were times that they were a bit over-exaggerated, but overall it was an accurate portrayal. We even have an animation screw-up where FW Raph is talking with FW Mikey's voice. Also, it hurts the FW Turtles a bit that they treat Nick Rocksteady and Bebop like the FW ones.

Thats good to hear. I thought they were spot on in Transdimensional Turtles so its nice to hear they're gonna be like that in this crossover. I don't mind a little bit of exaggeration and fun poked at the 80s turtles as long as they dont go overboard and stay true to their character. Its all good fun.

Also, I'm not surprised the 80s turtles would treat the new B&R like the old ones because they would likely expect incompetent and easy to beat when they hear the words "Bebop and Rocksteady".

edit: I really wanna see that animation "error". A nice homage to the animation mistakes in the 80s show :lol:

4Kids:

Villains where spot on portrayed. Turtles, Portrayed right 50% of the time.

TDT:
Krang not really right at all...a bit too goofy. Turtles faired much better this time around.

In this crossover :
The Over the top humor worked better with the villains than the turtles. I thought they did a bit more FW bashing in this one than the last one.

So which one do you think was overall the best to worst in terms of character portrayal and overall as an episode?

I fixed it.

I'll be taking out my copy of Turtles Forever today and possibly watch TDT before watching the 2nd crossover.

It'll be interesting to see how both Nick and 4Kids did crossovers with the same show and compare them since we now have 1 hour 20 minute long worth crossover material from both shows.

Something else I'd like to mention. Even if this is the final time we ever get to see FW Bebop and Rocksteady, it is a much better "final" moment for them than the end of season 8 of the original.

Definetly :lol: As much as I love Turtle Trek, having a giant plant monster eat them was brutal. Atleast thats what I think happened, since we see Shredder and Krang return in season 10, but never their henchmen.
