That's like asking why Donnie has a gap tooth. It's just part of his design, another thing to make him unique to his brothers.
For headcanon's sake, maybe he snipped them with a scissor because he thought it'd be cuter.

I assume shorter mask tails may also be more practical and safer with Mikey's weapons paired with his general physical craziness in a fight. Or in unpredictable elements, like a fight outside on a windy day.

I could be mistaken, but I think Ciro said at a convention panel (or something) that the crack in his shell would one day be explained, but I can't recall where.

It was either at NYCC or SDCC where Ciro said that. Maybe it'll be explained during the Dark Raph story.

It's mentioned in the TMNT:Ultimate visual history book.
On page 181 Brandon Auman says- "The Turtles definitely grow, but you don't want them to change all that much. You don't want Raph to lose his hot temper or Mikey to suddenly understand why he's acting like a goof. That said, we discover things about them that will broaden their characters for sure. Like why Raph is hot tempered, and how that ties into the crack in his shell...that kind of thing." |

I hope we see him soon now that the boys are back in NYC.

So, I was right.
Season 3 starts airing next Saturday. I'm a bit sad about having to go through a bunch of filler first, but it's a start. |

We getting caught up the US quite quickly (thanks to their breaks). Serpent Hunt is tomorrow, The Pig and The Rhino is next Saturday and looks like Battle for New York is is next Sunday. But I bet we going on a break after that.

On Saturday morning, followed by a repeat of season 2. They seem to be randomly airing episodes from season 2, mixed with new episodes of season 3. I sent them a mail about this, I don't want to have to look ever week on which hour they'll show a new episode. |

No answer from Nick yet. I doubt they'll respond to be honest.
I'm dying on the inside. Randomly airing new episodes between old ones doesn't seem like a sign of caring for the show. Hold me. |

I thought TMNT was airing once per week nowadays. And yes I know about the Nicktoons channel, but I'm talking about the actual Nickelodeon channel. Now for the questions that I should ask.
1) How did Leatherhead and Kraang Subprime survive their respective battles? 2) What's the point of keeping the Irma disguise since Subprime isn't infiltrating anyplace right now? 3) Was Pete being part of the Mutanimals inspired by the IDW comics? |

1) Leatherhead was last seen falling into the water during The Invasion. He could have swam away and escaped via the sewer route. Kraang sub-prime obviously survived the spiral staircase falling on him. He could have been injured, but not killed. Judging from his battle scars he is one tough Kraang to destroy, and has great survivability skills. He could have crawled out by himself, or aided by another Kraangdroid to lift up the debris and set him free, after Splinter left the lair. 2) While the Irma disguise is no longer needed, the transformable body and built-in weapons (laser-shooting eyes, detachable crawling head, strong mechanical limbs and circular saw between fingers) can still come in handy during battle. The compact "Irma" mode is also useful as a protection body for KSP, and is way superior to the clumsy Kraangdroids that other Kraangs are using. You wouldn't expect KSP to return to a regular Kraangdroid body after getting used to the Irma body for so long! 3) Maybe, maybe not. It's hard to tell if the writers at IDW planned this together with Ciro's team from the start, or they both coincidently picked the common members for their respective Mighty Mutanimals line up. Hopefully a behind-the-scene video in the future sheds more light on this question.

Hey, non-US folk? Is there a reason you're waiting for the eps to air instead of picking them up on animeflavor or watchcartoononline? (Not to condescend, just wondering the reason...) Both are pretty good sites, but DO have your ad-blocker on. Usually the new eps show up on the sites about 10pm here (Netherlands, so Amaranthus would be in the same one as us... what was that... GMT +1?). Anyway, that's one way you can get them without the wait. We download ours on our laptop and hook it up to the tv with an HDMI cable. |

Also, watching online uses a lot of bandwidth, and I just prefer television. I'm glad I'll be able to see season 3. But I just want it to go to a regular timeslot instead of them airing it between repeats of season 2. They never did that with season 2. Why do it now? |

If Bradford and Xever both touched the turtles before being mutated, then why was Bradford turned into a dog and why Xever a fish? Hmmmm..

I guess when it comes to mutation the animal DNA right in your blood stream is going to be more dominant than one you barely came in skin contact with during battle. It's not just about what you last touched, the amount of DNA it left on you also affects the mutation result.
