Shredder wearing his armour, mask and helmet almost all the time?
In the original series and TMNT Adventures, Shredder wears his armour, mask and helmet almost all the time. Is that lazy animation or what?
I think it's stupid Shredder not taking these off when he doesn't fight. He spends a lot of time in the Technodrome, where he isn't attacked unless he doesn't have a plot and the turtles infiltrate. |

It just makes me think of that line from The Princess Bride, when the dread pirate Roberts says that his mask is tremendously comfortable and that everyone will be wearing them in the future.

That one episode where he used a hologram device to make him look like he's just wearing regular clothes... when he could have just taken the armor off.

He probably can't have the armor off in Krang's presence. From the show, the helmet and face plate are OK; but not the rest of it.

It reminds of kings and queens of monarchy-states in fairytales, walking around in crown all the time. In reality, that happens only during ceremonies or during the last 200 years usually not even then.

Actually, Shredder seems to wear in armor constantly in most incarnations of the show since the 4Kids era (where he actually had his recreational robe and business suit... even though he was just an alien squid inside an android suit the whole time.

I find FW Shredder wearing his armor all the time to be a disappointment; he's quite a handsome fella
Obviously it was left on all the time for animation budget reasons, but I don't think Krang would really care. He probably runs around without his body all the time anyway...

Would've been quite fitting when he and Krang were at the coffee table.

Wouldn't you want to be wearing that banging helmet and armor if you had it?
I sure would, and he took them off whenever he needed to but usually didn't. Now that we're talking about the mask, is that supposed to be cloth or metal? Many times it's removed as if it only were cloth but other times it's supposed to be metal. Very inconsistent in the show with it. |

It was rather silly that Shredder never took his armor off in the OT even when in disguise. I think he should only have it on when he personally leads a mission or when he has to fight.

I dunno, he seemed pretty squeamish with Lotus and Irma

Irma wasn't exactly a looker herself and she was a bit annoying at times. As for Lotus, well she was a better fighter than him, so ofc that hurt his pride.
He definitely considered April attractive, though. |
