Of course, I don't think the current Mutanimals roster sans Slash would be able to stand up to the Turtles for long... They're due for a couple of reinforcements (Ace Duck and Dreadmon? Yes, please!).

If the Turtles go into a fight with anyone more than street thugs (with or without invisibility cloaks), I'm willing to bet on the other side. IDW TMNT are quite often ridiculously underskilled. C'mon, we never even saw them beat Oroku Saki. Not ONCE.

Amenon kicked their butts. Hun kicked their butts. Slash kicked their butts. Manmoth, Jagwar, and Gothano kicked their butts. Metalhead 2.0 kicked their butts. Leatherhead kicked their butts. That's just since the Gauntlet Battle. Fights they've WON? Hakkr (but I'm willing to bet he kicks their butts in #74-#75 and Dimension X was just inconsistent), the Street Phantoms, and I think that's it. One Mirage Turtle could take on all four IDW Turtles and win. Any of the four Mirage Turtles.

A proper Battle Nexus tournament would be really interesting in IDW because they have so many characters to choose from. They can even have the Mutanimals enter with the Turtles to have more familiar faces around, whereas the 2k3 version just had them face random aliens we didn't know about.
Then have a few villains enter and it would be great. I'd also love to see Leatherhead, Anemon, Crying Hound, etc. enter. And if they want it could be their way of introducing the Ultimate Ninja and Drako into the IDW-verse too if they want. |

I'm a sucker for 4Kids' original ideas. The good ones, I mean... not the crap like Garbageman or Cody Jones. Cody O'Neil. Whatever the kid's name was.

Cody Jones. By the way, what you consider the good and bad ideas?

Isn't Mutagen Man also just a head now? I wonder if he'll regrow his body or change into something else.

My guess is he will get a new containment suit. The rest of his organs must still be there, right? How else would he still be alive? |

Garbageman is the best. He's TMNTs version of "the obligatory C-List villain who only appears in events and group shots".

Of 2k3 villains we got Bishop, Hun and Ch'rell, and then Darius/Jammerhead/Dark Turtles. Most of the other 2k3 characters were from Mirage like Baxter, Karai, Triceratons, etc. so they're all in IDW already.
Really the only other characters I could see them using is Ultimate Ninja and Drako if we ever get a Battle Nexus arc. The others aren't really all that memorable or interesting to bring back. |

Cody Jones could have been interesting, the 4Kids' take on Shadow Jones, but a cartoon show taking a hard right turn to sell more toys isn't going to put much more thought into it other than stereotypes, "audience appeal", and toys. Garbageman could've been interesting, if he'd been toned down. A crazy guy who rules over the homeless, enslaving them for nefarious purposes? Sure, that could work... but not if you give him a bunch of robot technology that makes no sense and also treat him as a gimmick instead of something tragic or dangerous (like Baxter Stockman or Rat King). So, disclaimer: these characters and situations COULD have worked but they sucked and were written to the lowest denominator OR were huge genre changes that alienated me. Spoiler:
There. That's off the top of my head.

As for "memorable" or "interesting", I'd say most of them have enough potential even if the excecution wasn't always great.
Are you honestly telling us none of these have potential for revival but Muckman, the literal walking pile of trash, does? |

I liked a lot of the Fast Forward villains (except Triple Threat, he sucked), and they could easily work in any sci-fi setting. Torbin Zixx could have been a bounty hunter after the Turtles in Dimension X, and Sh'okonobo and Viral make good alien/sci-fi threats.
I mean we know the Dark Turtles will be in the upcoming Ghostbusters crossover, so it seems like they could make any concept work. |
