Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - More 'Tales' on DVD...'Wanted: Bebop & Rocksteady'!
 

Looks like more episodes will be released on DVD before they air on TV, just like the first 4 eps of Season 5.

Looks like this will be Nick's Bebop/Rocksteady's final episodes of the show. I wonder what will happen to them.

I think they will most likely return to their former life of crime like Fishface but I'm more excited to see how they will interact with their 80s counterparts. I can see them getting along even better than PD Bebop and Rocksteady, who were literally inseperable.

That's one thing I like about Bebop and Rocksteady over other mutant duos is that they get along so well and are always best buddies till the point where I find them likeable compared to Dogpound and Fishface who were pretty hostile towards each other.

I think they might just be arrested.

Not necessarily. There's time between the Usagi arc and this DVD release for the episodes to air. Or they could release this whilst the episodes are in the middle of airing (like the first arc).

Be interesting to see how many episodes are on this release. The Super Shredder collection was 11 episodes.

Going in airdate order seems most likely - Worlds Collide (2), Usagi (3), Crossover (3) - for a total of 8 episodes and also leaving 8 for the final volume.

Production order would be 10 episodes (leaving 6 for the last volume) & would mean that we'd definitely get the Monster arc on DVD before TV.

As much as I would love this (I'd much prefer intended order vs air date order for DVD) I think air date order is more likely simply because it's a more even split of episodes.

It's also a good thing the show continues to be released on DVD, there will probably be one more release after this and then all 124 episodes will be on DVD. And in proper order too, unlike the messed up order of the 4kids DVDs.

I don't know about proper order. But close enough.

Is this a marketing thing, to make you buy the DVD to get episodes quicker?

Yeah this disc will almost certainly not be in proper order (it'll be airdate rather than production) but we'll definitely get the full series on DVD.

I'd love full 5 season blu-Ray set once it's all done but sadly that doesn't seem likely.

Don't care, also Bebop and Rocksteady never turned human again for good in the original series or the Archiverse so it wouldn't surprise if they don't do it this time.

It's possible this next release goes:

Splinter flashback
Monster arc
When Worlds Collide
80's crossover

That'd be 10 episodes and in the right order.

Maybe they might pull an Archieverse where one of the dimensions that open up is one where New York (and most of the rest of the country) remained 'wild?' I could see them getting pulled into this dimension and finding it appealing to their mutant 'instincts,' thus stripping themselves of their human items and living 'wild.'

That wasn't the only thing they stripped themselves of. :lol:

Yeah, I said that earlier and I would love this to be the case. I just think that a split of 8 & 8 in airdate order is more likely than 10 & 6 in the right order. Really do hope it's 10/6 though as that's the proper order (plus we'd get the Monster arc early as well)

There's an Amazon listing for it now.

Ah, almost directly above my first post lol. My bad man.

Hmmm. 17 dollar MSRP makes it seem like a larger episode count.

Haha, no worries. With that higher MSRP really hope it is 10 episodes!

There's only 16 episodes of Season 5 left. I seriously doubt this disc has 10 or more episodes, because then the last disc would only have...6 episodes.

So it's going to look rather lopsided if this release has a large chunk of episodes, and the last DVD only has a handful.

Don't be a fool. There's already been several 6-7 episode releases.

Plus it can have bonus features like the music video, some shorts, and whatever else.

Are these Nick Bebop and Rocksteady dressed like their 80's counterparts for some reason, or did the budget just run out so they couldn't make new models from scratch?

There are new toys wearing those outfits too, so I think Nick's Bebop/Rocksteady really do wear their 80's counterpart outfits in this.

Obviously dressed as their 80s counterparts because I guess as they got recruited by 80s Shredder and Krang they wanted them to dress like 80s Rocksteady and Bebop.

Taking an episode titke fromnthe 1987 cartoon!

Train their 1987 counterparts? The 1987 cartoon Turtles should be the more experienced of the two. Its like the little brother is teaching the older brother how to fight.

That does sound a bit odd to me, considering the last time they met, the 80's turtles were able to competently defeat Kraang Subprime alongside the 2k12 versions.

I wonder if the training is going to be a parody of the Rocky Training montage :lol:

Why not? The Nick Turtles are portrayed as much better fighters.

I find the "training" part a bit odd as well. I wouldn't go as far as calling it degrading to the 80's turtles, but it does give off a feeling as if their Splinter hasn't done a good job.

Yeah, the Nick turtles are shown as the better fighters but the 80's turtles always came through in their own ways. But we have to wait and see how it goes.

I hope it's more like both sides learn something valuable from each other.

I LOVE the idea of 80's Shredder and Krang recruiting Nick Bebop and Rocksteady and finding that they can actually accomplish stuff. It reminds me both of the Super Rocksteady and Mighty Bebop episode but without the wonky animation and stupid things caused by Krang's device and Turtles Forever when Ch'rell makes use of Krang's resources. Lots of neat potential for crossover stuff and a WAY more interesting plot than Trans-Dimensional Turtles. Plus, with the extra episodes, we'll finally be able to see an '87/Nick crossover done to its full potential.

Also, WOOT MORE MUTANIMALS! Glad they could sneak in one more appearance before show's end.

Cover in bigger resolution. Classic Technodrome on the background:

Crossover will be on the air in November?

I love how Nick's cappy scheduling of TMNT is now one of the flippin' selling points of this DVD....

LOL, this DVD really only has 4 episodes on it?

A far cry from people thinking it would have 10 or so episodes on the first page.

Oh, Nickelodeon... you're so transparent.

I wonder if the fight against Tigerclaw at the end of Transdimensional Turtles will continue somehow? (even if I know it has been said he will not return)

4 episodes? That price better be coming WAY down.

But it's Bebop and Rocksteady.

It's not just Bebop/Rocksteady, it's the second 80's crossover. All 4 original Turtles, plus '80's Shredder and Krang and most of the old voice actors all return to reprise their roles.

not a big deal these episodes will be online after the home video release by some good people. But Seriously get Turtles away from Nick they are almost as bad as Cartoon Network.
