Individual storylines you'd modify
I'm pretty sure most of us think we have better ideas for a particular episode of TMNT or comic than what the writers would come up with. Either because of some fluke of logic or something just not feeling "right" for the story as a whole.
As an example, I would polish up the Krang Villains Mini. One way or another, he'd have to end up trapped on Morbus and eventually kill his father's arch enemy. But, I'd begin that story a little differently. Spoiler:
Ideally, the modifications shouldn't change too much in the storyline, just within its own little block and maybe even patch up some plot holes that crop up unintentionally.

I would probably make sure the Savate ninjas and the Street Phantoms get a few wins here and there. Make them a dangerous faction instead of cannon fodder that are there just to make the Foot look good.

I have to admit, I always thought it was a missed opportunity that in Fast Forward Cody was created instead not of just using Shadow.

Wasn't he a grandson though? Could be Shadow's kid...

If that was specifically the case I don't remember her name ever being mentioned.
I just think it would have been nice to have that character appear somewhere other than Mirage.

Cody's parents were never named. They died off-screen, it was implied Darius Dunn killed them who was his uncle.

My headcanon now includes Shadow as the mother of Cody but then how does that explain Cody's red hair, wasn't shadow blonde?
Unless Shadow isn't a step-daughter in the 2k3 universe and is biologically April's and then Shadow was redheaded in 2k3. There, fixed the problem. Headcanon now adds up. |

I'd have Leonardo actually murder some French parkour thugs in IDW's "City Fall."
I can't think of anything in the Mirage/Image comics that I'd want to change... except maybe the April/Renet roach <cough> incident. That still baffles me.

Yeah, in that regard, I'd erase Robin's cancer story from the timeline entirely - because it doesn't mean anything - and put April in her place.
Let's have April and Casey go to a fertility clinic to figure out what's going on and she's diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. She's sent to the Utroms, who have a new but unusual method of destroying cancer cells. The story continues as usual, but with April instead of Robin. Only more tense because for the Turtles, it's their April. And no twist ending with April not being her parents' biological child. Maybe more like "Okay, the cancer might be gone buuuuuut we can't guarantee a return to fertility right away" and that's where April's depression cues in. Because struggling to conceive is a very upsetting period for a lot of couples, especially for the women involved, so I think it's okay for April to get that distressed.

How the Technodrome crashed onto the Volcanic Asteroid, after hitting a rock soldier space station when reaching Dimension X at the end of the Big Trilogy.

The only thing I'd change off the top of my head is the timeline during the Attack on Technodrome/Vengeance story arcs. Everything in those arcs happened back-to-back-toback, and I would've liked a little more time to pass with Donnie residing inside Metalhead. If you look at the Turtles' return from Burnow Island and Hun's visits to April's parents' antique shop you see that the whole Vengeance arc takes place in one day/night and I think it would've been neat to see Donnie be a cyborg for long enough to get used to the perks, like the extra processing power and being able to hook himself up to the unternet directly. I would've had Donnie use something other than Metalhead's self-destruct sequence to finish off Bebop and Rocksteady in the Gauntlet battle and then later on down the line his body could be ready for him to return to it, and they could've done a story about how he was struggling to get used to the need to eat and sleep again.

Make Buffy Shellhammer either younger, or not so stupid for her age.

I've had some modifications to this idea, mostly to make the flow a little smoother.
Spoiler:
I mostly wanted to add an extensively more personal connection to the Utroms in stasis, which is one big thing that I thought was missing from Krang's motivations afterwards. It seemed like he was more upset that ooze was stolen than the fact that one of his people - who he was trying so viciously and violently trying to protect. Namely, I'd want to give him a little more connection to his people before he's brought to trial, so it seems more impactful when his loyalists cause a split in their already fragile community. Which is...what I would also spruce up a little bit. I'd have a few scenes that don't take place in the stasis room happen in there. And just for the sheer edginess of it, have a part the second turtles vs Krang fight in there. It would be awesome - trying to keep Krang distracted and freaked out while also trying not to do too much damage. Fugitiod mentions there being damage to the machinery from their fight anyway, so it would close that hole.

Expand Krang's background, based on the "Four Musketurtles".

Whole season 4 of the OT.
I'd have it match what we saw at the end of season 3 - Technodrome was destroyed when it crashed into a space station/satellite. The ongoing plot should've revolved around reconstruction of the Technodrome with the overall feel of the season being that of seasons 1 & 2, rather than out-of-control comedy that did more harm than good (it's almost like the staff tried getting the show cancelled). |

As a result, the Technodrome began to drift across interstellar space until getting sucked up by the gravitational pull from the Volcanic Asteroid, crashing onto it. |

The Gang's All Here. Mostly just to polish up the odd visual gaffes with Mikey's clothes and make it more clear that Mikey lost his abilities as a mutant, not his ninja training. And maybe to make the gang more of a threat. I would fix the same issues with Donatello's Badd Day, and maybe adjust the ending to Ninja Sword of Nowhere. Too convenient.

Writing TMNT by the late-1980's and early 1990's was probably hard.
First, there were fans who just asked for more, now! But there were also the parents, who complained over the series being "too violent". |
