I've already touched on this before but what I think is going on with the Nick multiverse is that you're not really seeing the Mirage Turtles or the FW Turtles, just general ideas of the major TMNT incarnations.

The main clue for this is that there only 10 dimensions, they're quite explicit about that on multiple occasions. Now if we were to add up any previously explicit dimension hopping or otherwise incompatiple depictions, we'd end up with something like this:
  1. Mirage
  2. Mark Martin's TMNT
  3. Hedden/McWeeny TMNT
  4. Mike Zulli TMNT
  5. Image TMNT
  6. Moo-Mesa
  7. Sakai Usagi
  8. The 79th Dimension of Null Time
  9. Mirage Super Turtles
  10. Fred Wolf TMNT
  11. FW Dimension X
  12. FW Video Games
  13. Archie Comics
  14. Archie Dimension X
  15. Live-Action TMNT
  16. The Next Mutation
  17. The 4Kids show
  18. 4Kids Dimension of 79th Dimension of Null Time
  19. Battle Nexus
  20. 4Kids Usagi
  21. SAINW Universe
  22. IDW TMNT
  23. GhostBusters
  24. Mutants in Manhattan
  25. Bopsteady universe
  26. IDW Dimension X

Incomplete but you get the idea, no way in hell only 10 realities can exist if we are to assume we're really seeing the original versions of the characters. Also, if the FW Turtles in the Nick show really are the FW Turtles, then you'd have to pretend none of these are canon:


So what I'm proposing instead is that the 10 Dimensions are not the past TMNT incarnations but rather some weird reflection of them and their most closely related material:
  1. Mirage
  2. Usagi
  3. Fred Wolf/Archie
  4. Live-Action/TNM/TMNT'07
  5. 4Kids/Dreamwave
  6. IDW
  7. Bayturtles
  8. Hell
  9. Dimension X
