They are cool timelines and I appreciate the amount of work you put into them.
But dates aside, the TMNT are still at LEAST 14 in Vol. 1 #1 based on 1 year growth and 13 years training (plus an unknown amount of time where they started walking and talking).
They are 15 1/2 in Vol. 1 #4-7, which makes them about 16 1/2 when Shredder returns the following Christmas and 17 1/2 for the events in ROTY. That's going not off dates (which we both agree in Vol. 1 were changed every year almost to keep up with real time) but off dialogue in the comics saying how long it had been from one event to the next. Mikey and Leo are both set at Christmas and are set a year apart, it doesn't matter which year that is, it still puts the TMNT around 16 1/2 when Shredder returns as they were roughly 15 1/2 in Mikey (which came soon after Vol. 1 #1-7 which said they were 15 1/2).
The only way around that is to say Mikey and Leo specials are the same year, which would put them at 16 1/2 for RTNY, but this idea is contradicted in the Leo special which clearly states that it's their second real Christmas (ie second Christmas above ground where they can actually take part in the festivities more) and both are set on Christmas eve.
