Official Ep Discussion # 17 "TCRI"

**Machias Banshee** · 02-20-2013, 10:15 PM

Man, we've got some slim picking's for ideas this week...

Here, have another sneak peek, free of charge!

Okay, so we're finally getting closer to the main objective of the Kraang. All the clues are culminating into the final, freakish product of this large-scale, global genetics scheme. All the kidnapping of scientists, April's dad, the collection of DNA from around the world, the World Genome Project... Leatherhead's subjection to torturous experimentation... the power source and the Portal.

We may be on the precipice of a massive global takeover by the Kraang. It's going to be a hell of a battle for the turtles to go up against. How can four or five teenagers defeat a giant global industrial machine with more cutting edge technology knowledge in one tentacle than the entire 100 year span of modern human technology?

The boys are so outnumbered as it is with all the groups their up against in the city, and now they're going to be in for a new surprise...

From the annals of the OT universe (and IDW, I think), we get a blast from our collective past.. an alien race of (lava filled?)rock-like beings. So now we can speculate what their ties to the Kraang are, and what their plans are for our little green and blue planet....

WILL THE TURTLES STOP THE KRAANG FROM TAKING OVER THE WORLD?!
WILL KARAI AND THE FOOT GET INVOLVED IN THE MELEE?!
AND WHO ELSE IS LOOKING FOR A GOOD LEATHERHEAD RAGEFEST?!

Stay Tuned!

Sorry everyone, I fought with my phone for THIRTY minutes trying to get this thread open... I had to drive home to open this friggen thing.

Worst Phone Ever. Poll to come...

Great episode. This isn't exactly an Easter Egg, so I'll post this here.

Mikey says to Leatherhead "Wakey Wakey, eggs and bakey".

In Teen Titans, Beast Boy (same voice actor as Mikey) says "Wakey Wakey, tofu eggs and bakey".

Pretty neat.

*Lethal Lullaby* · 03-01-2013, 06:04 PM

This episode was pretty cool.

We saw LH again and got to see Traag.

I have to say that part when Leather Head was still holding Donatello's face and stretching it was kinda funny.

Oh and April's yo-yo skills were fun to watch.

*Ninjinister* · 03-01-2013, 06:06 PM

Wait... why does my guide say a repeat? Wasn't this supposed to be airing March 9 anyway?

Haha, no. Tough luck. It airs again tonight in a few minutes, anyway.

LH · 03-01-2013, 06:07 PM

LEATHERHEAD CAME BACK!!!!

It was so great to see how understanding he was of the power cell going missing.. And how he stopped the anger from affecting him!
............

But now, He's gone... I feel like a friend just moved far far away.. Or I just lost my pet alligator..

I hope this isn't the end for him. I Really REALLY hope not.... ):

*snake* · 03-01-2013, 06:10 PM

This was great

seeing the kraang with Mikey's nunchucks was funny, the action was amazing to, I really hope this isn't the last of traag...or leatherhead

I noticed that.
I loved the part where the Kraang hit itself with the nunchuk. I knew that was coming.

Luigiperps · 03-01-2013, 06:13 PM

Liked the joke, now we can breath, choking gass

Ryanator008 · 03-01-2013, 06:13 PM

The ending was truly shocking.

*chrisdude* · 03-01-2013, 06:14 PM

Loved the ep. It ended too soon, but there was so much packed in it.

Also loved April's "around the world" yo-yo move. And every other thing in this ep. I can't wait to see what's next.

*TurtleTitan97* · 03-01-2013, 06:14 PM

Good episode overall. Traang was great, and so was seeing Leatherhead again. Too bad he's now stuck in Dimension X. I wonder why The Kraang would be after April. Must have something to do with her sixth sense.

Luigiperps · 03-01-2013, 06:14 PM

Who/What is April

*snake* · 03-01-2013, 06:15 PM

Anyone love when this exchange happended

Donny- do you know what this is???
Mikey-shiney!

Mikey is so-------oooooh shiney!

MutagenJosh · 03-01-2013, 06:17 PM

LOVED this episode. Traag looked amazing. My new favorite I guess? Leatherhead being gone is so sad, but I KNOW this won't be the last we see of him. Not how much CGI characters cost. Surely they wouldnt just throw him out, right? But again, Loved the more we are seeing about the kraang. I hope we get to see inside of Dimension X. Finally one of the turtles went fully inside the shell. Overall, Good episode. April Sure is gonna need some protecting.

*oldmanwinters* · 03-01-2013, 06:19 PM

What... no poll?

"In Kraang's face!"

Luigiperps · 03-01-2013, 06:19 PM

Who wants turtle figures that go all the way into the shell?!? That was epis!!!
