Trying to get some sense of chronology as I watch the OT during this tmnt 2012 s2 hiatus. Great to own all of these so I can see my favorites whenever I like. It was one of my daydreams as a kid, actually. lol

Krang's android body was seen again in the next episodes, "Super Irma" and "Adventures in Turtle-Sitting", after "Krangenstein Lives" and would be seen throughout the sixth and seventh seasons. The last time it was seen before "Divide and Conquer" was way back in the seventh season finale with "Shredder Triumphant!" when Krang fled with Shredder, Bebop, and Rocksteady in the pickup truck.

For some inexplicable reason in the eighth season premiere "Get Shredder!" (the start of the Red Sky seasons), Krang doesn't have his android body anymore as was last seen in "Shredder Triumphant!", but uses the bubble walker, and continues doing so throughout Season 8 and when he appears in Season 10. I guess the viewer has to speculate as to how and why the transfer was made.

Thanks! I thought so because those trademark wering noises of the mechanical legs/arms in the bubblewalker weren't present in Super Irma. Makes sense that he would have repaired his body after it's little sojourn.

Krang used some of the gadgets against them in "Super Irma" and against April and Splinter in "Shredder Triumphant" but other than that, nothing.

I always loved it when he'd participate in a fight. He should have gotten his tentacles dirty a bit more often.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask, but I feel like watching some old OT episodes, can some one tell me what episode it is where the turtles go under cover wearing leather jackets and shades lol

You may be thinking of "The Big Cufflink Caper!" from Season 4.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

no, that's not it, I think they are wearing sun glasses the same colour as their masks, and leather jackets, leo's is white, and they have a getto blaster

The closest to that scene then is Season 1's "Enter the Shredder" where they are street dancing... or attempting to at least.


On a separate note, I have a question of my own also. Does anybody know which episode we get Irma's last name (Langinstein)?

Irma's last name Langinstein is never mentioned in any episode, though its believed to appear on a few scripts/production materials which I haven't seen. However, of the dozen or so scripts of the OT I have, none mention her last name.

Yeah, that's what seemed so peculiar... I know Vernon's last name was said once in Peking Turtle in Season 4, but I always wondered where Irma's last name came from. Thanks pannoni1!

Just how it's suppose to be.

Haven't gotten that far, but I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not the last 2 seasons were in their proper chronological order on DVD. Or will I have to flipflop episodes when I get to seasons 9 and 10? I'm not that familiar with those 2 seasons, but isn't there a bit more continuity involved? Just wanted to make sure I'd be viewing them in the correct order.

[groogrux0609]

Any one know of a way to look up which villains are in specific episodes? For instance if i want to know which episode scumbag is in? Easiest way to find it?

Actual 9 and 10 episodes or episodes from other seasons? Cause there's season 5 episodes on season 10.

[blindturtle02]

haha! Oh just the season 9 and 10 episodes. I already watched Once Upon A Time Machine and Planet of the Turtleoids in their propper order. All that DVD flipflopping may be confusing at times, but thank goodness we finally got those missing eps btw!

Actually seasons 8, 9, and 10 all have stronger continuity compared to seasons 3-7, where the events of one episode depend on the previous episode's outcomes. It's not "hard" continuity where you would feel lost if you randomly chose an episode from within each of those seasons, but watching them in order will make more sense as things develop (i.e. the Super Mutations, Dregg becoming more obsessed in defeating the Turtles rather than taking over the world, Dregg influencing humanity's opinions of him, etc.)

You could just google (start with the command "site:forums.thetechnodrome.com", add the keyword "attempt reference old toon", then enter "scumbug" or any other keyword". You'll find that Scumbug appeared in one episode, "Night of the Rogues".

I didn't notice Krangs eyes turn purple until "landlord of the flies" in season 5. Were they ever purple before? Or what's up with that. Maybe it was just the different tint. Cause it was really dark in that episode and I'm noticing it more in the following episodes I watch.

[cammy85]

Krang's eyes were purple in that one and maybe one other episode in the fifth season but that's it.

his eyes were purple in the next episode too. I wasn't paying attention to it in "planet of the turtleoids" though
