The one with the red hair on the left

Spoiler:

He was named in the 2K3 episode "Christmas Aliens" at around 8-9 min.

If he was named, yes. ;3

How're things coming along, for those who're writing the profiles? Or IS anybody writing them?

[Zage]

which cross-over characters would you wanna include? the ones I'd include would be

Usagi
Space Usagi
Panda Khan
Ninjara
Fugitoid
the Triceratons
and maybe Horridus

I wouldn't include

Savage Dragon
Cerebus
the Power Rangers
Archie & gang

what about you guys?

[John Pannozzi]

You guys should do some character profiles for my TMNT Wiki. Here's the very incomplete profile for Leonardo as a template.

If you send a request to join the wiki, I'll be sure to yet you in (or maybe Krang will, as he's my co-pilot in this operation).

The only guest character I'd really consider giving a profile to is Panda Khan since he's been in so little material and is the obscure out of all those characters. I don't really consider Ninjara, Fugitoid and the Triceratons to be guest characters, but rather proper TMNT characters. Ninjara debuted in the pages of TMNTA and only ever appeared outside the franchise for a three-part back-up serial in the furry anthology comic Furrlough, and since Viacom owns her now, she'll remain a TMNT character until kingdom come (and by "kingdom come", I mean whenever Viacom ever sells/transfers rights of TMNT or any of it's characters, or if, God willing, they ever fall into the public domain. Though I wouldn't mind if someday Murphy and Allen were able to continue off from where the Ninjara serial ended a decade and a half ago, but that's beside the point). And while Fugitoid and the Triceratons were created before TMNT was invented, they've spent the bulk of existence as part of the TMNT franchise (the only time they ever really broke away from TMNT was that "Our Story So Far" jam project featuring a Triceraton, and the two-part Gizmo/Fugitoid crossover miniseries), and, again, are currently owned by Viacom.

And there's already some good sources for information on the Usagi Yojimbo series, and Sarah "Horridus" Hill.

Don't be silly....the only purple dragon called Spike is on My Little Pony.

[Zage]

You forgot Space Usagi, who's actually a descendant of Usagi, not really THE Usagi.

Spike from MLP is technically a pink dragon, MAYBE a fuchsia dragon.

[Zage]

So..., is anybody working on character bios or stats?

The only thing close would be the RPG books but really their information's always argued over.

I would say that we list ALL the "official" info we can find about each character, and just list what version of the character it's referencing.

For example, in the Archie "TMNT Mutant Universe Sourcebook", the information for Ace Duck is:

-HEIGHT: 5' 11"
-WEIGHT: 125 lbs.
-HAIR: Yellow (((I know, Ace Duck doesn't have "hair", he has feathers. But the book wrote "hair", so that's how I'm writing it.)))
-EYES: Gold
-GROUP MEMBERSHIP: Intergalactic Wrestling Team
-HOME BASE: Planet Perdufus originally, but more recently, the Stump Asteroid
-FRIENDS:Cryin' Houn'; Trap; other members of the Intergalactic Wrestling Team

But, the "file card" on the back of the Ace Duck action figure reads:

-HEIGHT: 4'6"
-BIRTHPLACE: Peking
-LEAST FAVORITE TIME: Duck hunting season
-LEAST FAVORITE FOOD: Peking Duck

So, there's definitely lots of sources to find information about characters, but all the information won't necessarily match up. That's why I say we give all the information we can find, and just make sure to reference WHERE that information was gotten. (This is from the figure file card, this is from the Archie Source Book, this is from the RPG Source Book, etc, etc.)

If we can't find the specific height / weight / whatever info about a certain character, we shouldn't just make it up. It should just be listed as "unspecified", or "unknown".

Thoughts?

I always wanted there to be an official guide to the OT universe. I wish there was something like that published way back in the day. Oh well. Good luck with the project guys!

I think most of us would like to see an official source book. I am wondering if there is one out there already???

[Logan]

Just out of curiosity... who wrote the profiles on the Mirage page? Was that Laird? Are we supposed to take those details to be "canon"?

Would be nice if someone could start a blog, only addicted to TMNT characters from different versions.

[John Pannozzi]

Guys, I think it would be best if you joined my TMNT Wiki (link in my sig) and created some character profiles.

Here are some Triceraton names that I have found so far:

Commander Mozar
Raz Charkov

Commander T'Zirk
Former Prime Leader Zanramon

Here are some Utroms:

All of these guys are found in the Mirage Universe, but not limited to it. Those labeled as MENTIONED have never been seen.

These lists say nothing without some short description and universe appeareance. (just like: Irma - Channel 6 secretary and April's friend, 1987 cartoon)

Thoughts?

According to the action figure cards, April O'Neil's weight has ranged from 99.9 pounds to 115 pounds (the original). Then the 2003 April is 125 pounds IIRC.

I'm surprised the people that wrote that stuff didn't eventually go with "not telling" or "it's a secret".

One wiki entry I saw just listed all of her weights.

But 99.9? She was a reporter, not a supermodel.

One wiki entry I saw just listed all of her weights.

I honestly wouldn't rely on the action figure cards from that period. The info seems to be mostly for humor's sake.

This is a great idea. Need to get ahold of Dan, Pete, Tom, Kevin and see what kind of official info we can get to help with the coralation of information into a cohesive profile. Maybe get some custom profile art commisioned to go whith them so the Technodromes' profiles pages have unique art.
