Mistakes:
1. The Technodrome is seen on a short hill, but the last time it appeared in "Turtle Trek", it was pulled into a hole by a ground monster.
2. April didn't recognize Krang's android body, but she's seen it many times throughout the series.
3. In "Shredder & Splintered", Donatello knocked out the crystal to the molecular amplification unit that allows the body to expand and contract, which it does do in this episode.
4. An alien stole Leonardo's belt early in the episode, but when he is seen in the Turtle Van, it reappears.
5. Krang's Android Body is much taller than Dregg when it is first powered up, but it is only slightly taller than him just a few seconds later, and its size is inconsistent throughout the battle. This is proven by the shots comparing the crane and Dregg, remaining the same throughout the battle. Also, the Turtles inside the suit are very small in some shots, even though Krang grew in size with its amplification.
6. The four-armed shapeshifter only battled the Turtles for 30 seconds despite not passing Dregg's requirement of 90 seconds in terms of being chosen for being his best warrior.
7. When the Turtles in Donatello's Lab talk about why the aliens are attack them, Leonardo is first seen at the computer. After Michelangelo's Turtlecom conversation with April, Donatello is seen at the computer.
8. When Leonardo tells the Turtles to head into the sewers when he tries to stop Dregg, he opens a sewer cover and the Turtles go inside. But Leonardo then cuts a water main and goes into the same manhole cover for a second time.
9. Dregg was able to walk on wooden floors despite spraying them with liquid nitrogen, and should have fallen well before Leonardo destroyed the floors.
10. Donatello says that Raphael and Michelangelo have five seconds left in the suit before it explodes, but approximately 15 seconds pass before the suit shrinks.
11. The Technodrome's portal is operating normally, but in the scope of "Turtle Trek", Shredder and Krang's two-year absence between appearances is pointless.
12. The front bumper surrounding the teeth of the Turtle Van is brown instead of green as Leonardo, Raphael, and April jump in and drive away.
13. After defeating Dregg, the stop sign in the Turtles' Lair has red letters on a silver blue background.

Catchphrase/Insult Countdown:
1. Michelangelo says Cowabunga right before the Turtle Van drives off the road and over a cliff.
2. Dregg calls Mung a fool after he says that Microbots will cause the best solution to conquering Earth.
3. Dregg says that he's ready to destroy those repugnant reptiles after he uses the powers of the Morphogenesis Exoskeleton.
4. Dregg calls the Turtles foolish little beings as the Turtles try to save Donatello from the giant chain hook.
5. Michelangelo says Cowabunga as he and Donatello jump through the portal back to Earth with Krang's Android Body.
6. Dregg calls the Turtles fools as he arises from a pile of cars and knocks down the Android Body.

Pop Culture References:
1. The episode title is in reference to the Why We Fight World War II newsreel.

5. Raphael wishes Dregg could grant him a two-week paid vacation to Hawaii.

7. Michelangelo calls the Orange Dimension X alien Tin Man after the Wizard of Oz character when he asks him for the Technodrome's portal.

Fourth Wall Breaking Humor:
Michelangelo asks Donatello in English about how the gravitational stress on the Android Body's atoms will cause it to collapse.

Wacky Inventions:
1. The Turtle Van's Parachute
2. Dregg's Morphogenesis Exoskeleton
3. The Liquid Nitrogen Spray

Kidnapping:
Dregg goes right through April's computer monitor, grabs and ties her up to a chair in her apartment.

Notables:
1. Series finale. The reason for the series' end is not due to sagging ratings or poor merchandise sales but due to network television Educational and Informational (E/I) requirement, in which TMNT does not provide enough of.
2. It is unknown who or whay caused the portal to allow Michelangelo and Donatello to push Krang's Android Body and Dregg back to Dimension X.
3. When the ruins of the Technodrome are shown, a variant of the familiar background music is played.
4. Krang's Android Body and the ruins of the Technodrome make one final appearance.
5. The final line in the series is spoken by Raphael, about making a dig at Donatello cooking popcorn.
6. According to Raphael, seven aliens attacked the Turtles in Dregg's contest, not including Dregg himself. It is assumed that two of the aliens fared poorly in their battle with the Turtles since Dregg absorbed five of the aliens.
7. Shredder and Krang are mentioned but do not appear in this episode.


Well, the end of the journey has come, and I hope this project provides a great resource for all TMNT fans in the universe when enjoying the original series. And this thread is no longer just "an attempt", the attempt has been successful. Turtle Power!

[gobo]

Booyajenga! ^_^

[dawwe]

Great stuff here. I don't know if anybody else already did this but I would like to point out that the title to episode 8 is most likely a reference to the 1955 movie "It Came from Beneath the Sea".

[dukebothers]

brilliant work dude!

April dresses like a 17th-century noblewoman right out of the novel, and shows a copy of this book. Various quotes from the book are said, mainly by Leonardo. Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo are costumed as Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.

Fourth Wall Breaking Humor:
Michelangelo says that he feels so corny talking like a Musketeer as the Turtles come to battle, right before Leonardo's "spell" wears off.

Wacky Invention:
Krang's Imperbium Generator

Kidnappings:
1. Irma is kidnapped by Shredder because she has the Star of Brazil diamond that he's seeking.
2. April is kidnapped by Shredder as she tries to rescue Irma, and becomes his slave.

Notables:

2. The Foot Soldiers in this episode have a yellow Foot Clan symbol on their heads instead of the standard red.
3. The first appearance of the Channel 6 News Copter.

It should be ImperVium, as in ImperVious to pain, as in invincible... Imperbious is not a word...

7. When Metalhead speaks as Raphael, he wonders if the decorator of the Turtles' Lair is the Phantom of the Opera, the title character of the 1987 musical.
8. Raphael says "there goes the neighborhood", popularized in the 1970 movie Watermelon Man as Metalhead senses Shredder approaching the lair.

Notables:
1. First appearance of Metalhead. This is not the same Metal Head character from Justice Force.
2. The tension theme cue plays right before the second commercial break, but after the break, it turns out to be just a reprogrammed Metalhead by Donatello. This is the first time in the series that such tension at the end of an act turns out to be just a joke rather than an enemy attack.
3. Bebop and Rocksteady (with Shredder) get covered in cement by a truck for the first time since Shreddered and Splintered.

See Making of Metalhead... I added a mistake.
