Favourite Big Guy in tmnt?

*FredWolfLeonardo* · 05-06-2018, 10:22 PM

They're big, they're brutal and few would dare match them in sheer strength!

Who's your favourite heavyweight from tmnt? If I was asked this a few years ago, I would've said Hun from the 2003 series. However, recently my new favourite has become Nick Rocksteady.

I love his design for staying true to the Rocksteady we all know in love, but also for really selling the "intimidating big guy" look that you would expect. His personality and interactions with Bebop are also cool, and I simply love the fact he is a Patriotic Russian.

I simply cannot get enough of the line: "I'll crush your head like the blueberry!"

Uhhhh, I dunno, maybe Nick's Slash. Cubed's right though, I find Rise Raph really endearing.

Hmm... can't say I've given it much though, but how about the biggest of them all, and a she at that - Nick Tokka.

Unless world ending space monsters don't count.

Maybe Nicks Leatherhead.

Love the original big guy, Mirage's Leatherhead, esp. when drawn/written by Dan Berger:

I like how he's more than just a big brute and has quite a brain under normal conditions... but how he can turn feral in a second when his lizard brain kicks in! Gotta love a mindless rage

- perfect trait for the turtles' best frenemy. Been fairly satisfied with all his toon and comic incarnations, even Ol' Jess Harley I guar-an-tee!

Oh, and Zog is a close second. HEKH HEKH!

Wow, they're animation skills are as good as mine. I'll leave to work out what I mean by that one.

You not liking the designs has nothing to do with anyone's animation skills.

Leatherhead (1987) and Slash ( TMNT Adventures) hands down for me.

I was gonna disagree with you calling 1987 Leatherhead a big guy... but then googled images of him and turns out he towers above Shredder, who isn't exactly a short man O_o. How come I didn't remember that?

I guess Hun from the 2k3 series or The Rat King from the FW series. The Rat King in the 1987 cartoon series was pretty tall, remember? He must have been like like 1,90m(6'3) or so if I had to guess.

Shredder from the 2k3 series also seemed quite tall. I mean, I know it was Chrell inside him all along, but Oroku Saki/Shredder seemed rather tall/imposing.

Okay whatever you say.

Hun I guess. He’s the one that stands out for me.
