The initial Triceraton/Fugitoid arc was what kind of cemented me as a fan when I watched 2k3 as a kid and again when I read Mirage in college. I knew them from FW and most of the first season of 2k3 as basically street level heroes, but then forcing them into such a strange situation really helped define the characters and their dynamics.

Even though it was a real slog in terms of gameplay, that was also why I enjoyed the Game Boy Advance Battle Nexus game so much as a kid.

It showed the kinds of outlandish adventures the TMNT can have in comparison to other groups of characters. To see a live action/animated adaptation that is true to that original spirit but also leads just as seamlessly into that arc would be very cool.
