Maybe. There are technically two "alien arcs" confirmed, one being the episodes featuring Bishop, Sal Commander, Mona Lisa and Newtralizer (which I think what 'worlds collide' will be about) while the other one features 80s Krang for 3 episodes.

I think the monster arc will be for 4 episodes, since each turtle has a unique monster form as seen in the toys and each episode will showcase a new transformation, with Raphael being changed in "The Crypt of Dracula" and another turtle being changed in "The Curse of Savanti Romero".

The glimpse into the future could easily fit into the end of a potentially 4 episode long monster arc, and I think is even likely since it features Renet and Savanti.

Are you sure "Worlds Collide" isn't three different storylines? 30 minutes with Usagi Yojimbo, 30 minutes with time travel and 30 minutes crossover with the MWS series.

Alien arc? Like what? An alien invasion? Adaptation of Volume 4? We already got a space arc.

I think it will be one storyline, since the other two stories (Usagi and FW) are confirmed to be 3 episodes long and seperate from each other.

The future time travel stuff would most likely fit into the monster episodes, since Renet appears in those.

Monsters in the future? Are you talking of mud mutants in a polluted future?

[FredWolfLeonardo]

I hope that the remaining arc will be a final battle between the turtles and the Kraang because the last time they had a big epic fight was in "The Battle for New York" all the way back in season 3.

I remember Ciro saying in one of his interviews that if he could put the turtles in one new location, it would be the wild west. Lets see if they go there or not.

The Foot Clan I think also need to be given a bigger send off. We know 2 of the Foot Clan members, Bebop and Rocksteady will be appearing in the crossover but that's all we know as of now. I wish Razhar and Fishface appear again. If Shredder is to be resurrected one last time, I think it should be in his normal form and not Super Shredder.

No I mean the turtles being turned into Halloween monsters.

Raphael =Dracula
Donatello = Frankenstein
Michealangalo = Werewolf
Leonardo = The Mummy

I see no need for Shredder coming back, tired of all these comebacks. Sure Kraang-Utroms and Triceratons can return, since they're entire species and not individual characters.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

Since we know Tiger Claw is not coming back, I hope atleast Alopex makes her appearance.

We know Minae Noji is going to be in a season 5 episode, most likely Alopex since Tang Shen is dead and was already done in a time travel episode to the past.

Alopex could mention how Tiger Claw handed over the remainder of the Foot Clan to Karai and made peace with his sister, leaving behind his life of evil. That could also give us insight as to her past which wasn't fully explored in her first appearance.

Maybe more flashback scenes about Tigerclaw and Alopex being mutated by the Kraang?

I don't want Shredder to come back. I want him to be done for good and that's that. But all of this sounds interesting and I am anxious to see what they do.

Isn't the original series Shredder going to appear?

Yes, thats why I think 2012 Shredder will be resurrected later on. I would find it strange for this tmnt series to end with the Shredder of another show, but not their own Shredder.

It would be fun hearing Kevin Micheal Richardson talk to himself just like Rob Paulsen.

But we'll probably also end with Splinter from another series.

I don't think he will appear since his voice actor, Peter Renaday is very old despite still being active.

I might be wrong though and in the situation he does appear, there's nothing to stop 2k12 Splinter from appearing as a spirit who communicates with him.

Maybe someone else can voice him?

Me personally though, I'd either have 80s Splinters voice done by Mr. Reneday himself or have him not appear at all.

In this clip from Assasins Creed Revelations (2011), he voices the man in the black robes and sounds similar to 80s Splinter.

If he reprises his role, it would be great but I would not be dissapointed if he can't do it due to its age, its perfectly understandable.

Will we get Bebop, Rocksteady and, again, Krang from the original series too?

Yep.

[Original TMNT Cartoon Fan]

I think the original series' turtles maybe will at least mention they took down Tigerclaw at the end of "Transdimensional Turtles".

Hope so, or maybe even show a flashback.

Tiger Claw may be gone as a character on screen, but he deserves mentions and flashbacks to possibly complete his character arc (for e.g. Alopex mentioning she has made peace with him or Karai mentioning he has lend the rest of the foot clan over to her).
