even more sneak peeks at new show!!!

[heretic888]

there are some more character sketches for the new tmnt animated series at the official site!! this time with the villians (including Baxter, the Shredder both in and out of armor, a big guy named Hun, the Foot, and the Purple Dragons)!!!!!!!

catcha later!

[Nickokapo]

Cool!Thanks for the info.
Shredder looks AWESOME imnsho :evilgrin:

[Karpo_007]

I actually checkked the site today, those must have come in last few hours...

[Karpo_007]

Baxter looks right, So does Saki. I still think that Shredder is too heavily armored. Atleast he dosent look like a robot anymore... Foot looks ok. But i wonder why did they change that reddish color for black?

[Nickokapo]

The new shredder reminds me of cybershredder...only cybershredder wasn't so heavily armored.
I have no idea why they changed the foot soldier's color...but that's ok with me :ohwell: they look more like the movie ones now :D

[Karpo_007]

Yeah the color is allright. But Shredder dosen't look as agile as he should.

[Nickokapo]

It wouldn't surprise me if he couldn't move with all that metal junk on :lol:

[Karpo_007]

LOL :lol:

[Nickokapo]

I wonder who that "hun" guy is... :sweatdro:
And the purple dragons!They're probably all bad guys since they're in that gallery :P

[Karpo_007]

Yeah i guess they will bring some new elemnets outside the comic. And im starting to thin it's better, I always have the comics, so the sho dosen't have to be a Exact replica. They probably keep the feeling the same but make some new plot twists.

[Kali]

"Hun" is obviously a member of the Purple Dragons, if not the leader. Check the tattoos.

[Nickokapo]

Yeah i agree, it's better if the toon is based in the comics but NOT a replica, or else we'd kinda know the story already.
Yeah hun must be the leader...i guess it's just another clan like the foot one.

[Karpo_007]

Oh. They should have put him under the same list.

[Eye of Sarnath]

Wow! :o Those are cool. From the looks of it, Shredder won't be wearing his armor all the time. I think his new armor looks sweet. He really isn't wearing that much of it (armor, I mean).And of course, it's always good to see Baxter Stockman, and his original form at that (not some geeky white guy)! This is shaping up to be great!

[Spike The Xenomorph]

I like the geekie white guy.

His voice was whiney like Wierd Al & he was dumber than Bebop & Rocksteady & that made them look good!

[HorseTechie]

Oooo... :tsurpris:

Oooooo..... :teek:

Oooooooohhhh... :thyper:

These look like a might fine line up of bad A villians... I liiike! The outfits and even tatoos are elaborate looking.

And shredder (or saki) doesn't look like someone I wanna meet in a dark alley. I think his armor looks flexible enough for him. It's in small enuf pieces n plates, and is prolly made of a lightweight material to let him flex. But hay, logically speaking, the Turtles have the greatest obstacle since they got a fairly stiff shell around their midregion.

[Aztec General]

OMG! They rule. Shredder looks awesome animated. That Hun guy looks pretty damn HUGE! Wow well done all around. This show will be downright amazing! Thank you Peter, thank you.

[Karpo_007]

I like most of the new look, I might even like Shrdder when i see him animated.

[Sparvid]

Wohoo! :thyper: :thyper: :thyper:

Baxter: Perfect!
Saki: Hmm... Too long hair. And waaay too baggy pants :o
Shredder: Eeeeeevil! :evilgrin: I bet he will look beautiful when animated...
Hun: Huge.
Foot: Very nice!
Purple Dragons: You're gonna get your butts kicked... :P

[Karpo_007]

Maybe next we get to see utroms and trceratons. Atleast I hope so.

[Cherubae]

OOOH awesome :) Put a pair of GU on the new Shredder and they'd shiiiiiine like there's no tomorrow.

The Saki-outfit is definatly Japanese-influenced. :D I WANNA PURPLE DRAGON TATOOOOOOOO


- Cher

[Nturtle]

heres my break down of the situation:

Baxter- looks cool!! he isn't dippy anymore that was a bit of a let down but I like it anyway.

Saki- Good, does this mean he may have a larger role in the show? we shall see....

Shredder- ummmm.... first thing that popped into my head was "aquatic man" but that subsided.... I agree with karpo he is too heavily armored, I like the belt but... his eyes are RED???! Shreeder is NOT an evil demon wizard or whatever!!!! :x

Hun- uhhhh... wha?

Foot- AWESOME!!! this is the best one yet in my opinion I like the darkness and flowing bandana!!! They look tougher too :D

Purple dragons- well I think Hun is supposed to be the leader of the gang, since he has the same logo tattoed on him..., they look alright though no complaints

[Raphael-sama]

Baxter: o_O Reminds me of J from MIB. Not the Fly, but ok.
Saki: Hehehe. Neat.
Shredder: BooYEAH! He looks SWEET! Now I want his toy even more. ^^ I can't even SEE his eyes though. o_o
Hun: What everyone else said. Big.
Foot: Look like evil Spider-Men in the head. Looks cooler then the greyish toy version. Notice that the Foot are all dressed in dark clothing? Camoflague. Bwahaa.
Purple Dragons: Stupid name. Hope they get their ass kicked. (Hope? What am I on?!)

[Karpo_007]

This would have looked better...
http://mail.edu.kitee.fi/~inaski/shredderturn.jpg

[Eye of Sarnath]

I can't see what you could possibly find wrong with Shredder. He's easily the best of the bunch, red eyes or not. As far as I can tell, he's perfect.

[Karpo_007]

This is what the Original Shredder looks like:

http://mail.edu.kitee.fi/~inaski/shredder.jpg

I think that answers your question.

[Chris]

Gotta agree with Karpo on this, Shredder - whilst looking way better than the toy - is no way near as good as the original Mirage version. Probably just wanted to make him look more evil and threatening for the kids.

And Karpo, thanks for pointing out to me that this thread was already here, should have checked the "general" forum before posting in the "new" forum. :goofygri:

[Karpo_007]

Heh no problem. The armor on the new Shredder looks too heavy. The orginal one, as you can see has no real armor.

[Nturtle]

Yup originally hes all blade!! :evilgrin:

The original mirage shredder is the best in my opinion, I like the movie one too but the mask is weird :ohwell:

and... whats with the one claw??!!! OY!!! the shredder has TWO claws!!! now hes like vega in SFII

[Chris]

Yeah the armor does look heavy but the inclusion of the Saki design with the major villains does give me some hope that we may see Shredder fighting without his armor.

I'd love it if the finale of season 2 or 3 was a recreation of "Return To New York" with Leo and Saki fighting to the death (obviously not shown on screen) on the rooftops.

Wonder who we'll see next week? My guesses are Triceratons and Mousers due to the fact that they were included in the CGI Promo so everyone knows that they'll be in the show. As for the rest Utroms and Fugitoid are possible due to their relationship with the Triceratons.

Personally I'd love to see Leatherhead and Rat King as well as Savanti and Renet but they'll probably want to keep these more secret as they'd appear later in the series.

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Are the Foot robots in this 1?

[Karpo_007]

Hell no... :lol:

[Sparvid]

As for the rest Utroms and Fugitoid are possible due to their relationship with the Triceratons.Among the upcoming toys is: Foot Elite, Triceraton, and "Mutant", so I'm guessing we'll see them sometime...

[Spike The Xenomorph]

WHAT!

[Raphael-sama]

Yep. All humans this time around.

[Spike The Xenomorph]

GREAT! Just like the movies!

[Reznorite420]

Question: why did Baxter Stockman change from the way he was in the comic to the nerdy white guy that he was in the original cartoon? Yeah, I just found out not too long ago that the original Stockman looked nothing like the one in the first cartoon show...

BTW, who is "Saki"?

[PWDESAI]

i dunno, i don't really like this, it's not really going for me.. i'm sure i'll get used to it when i see more than just production pics

[PWDESAI]

oroku saki (splled wron i nknow i'm in aa hurry) umm.. he is shredder....

[Karpo_007]

Well they changed all the other characters, so why not baxter.

You don't know Saki? As in Oroku Saki.

[Nturtle]

well... I guess he was funnier that way

Saki is the Shredder,

[Karpo_007]

Yeah he was funnier. They changed all characters like that...

[Raphael-sama]

They probably changed him in a fit of political correctness or something like that. Oh well. Baxter wasn't human for the bulk of the series anyway. =P

[Reznorite420]

You don't know Saki? As in Oroku Saki.Yes, but why are they listed as separate characters?

[Karpo_007]

True. But as a human he had very little incommon with the real Baxter. Mousers must be the only thing.

[Raphael-sama]

You don't know Saki? As in Oroku Saki.Yes, but why are they listed as separate characters?

Probably to keep them from being cluttered. Draw more attention that way. You get your Saki, then you get your Shred.

And really, am I the ONLY one who digs Shred's new look? He'll move fine, don't worry. We're gonna see plenty of Shredder vs Turtle fights in the show, I'd wager.

[PWDESAI]

i still have nothing going for me with it...

[Reznorite420]

[And really, am I the ONLY one who digs Shred's new look?No... :D :D :D

[Karpo_007]

If they animate him right, i will be fine with it. As fo Saki, I fear that the only time he is without his armor is the origin story.

[Nturtle]

don't worry about the animation Karpo, these are the people who made Jackie chan Adventures, an awesome show, for the most part...

maybe Shredder will be Saki as an alter ego or something, that would be intresting...

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Will Panda Khan, The lizard, *sorry forgot his name*, or the samouri rabbit be in them?

[Aztec General]

Mondo Gecko "The Lizard" and Panda Khan will not be in the new show. They were created for the toys and old show.

Usagi Yojimbo "The Rabbit" was an independent comic. Mirage TMNT has had crossovers with Usagi's comic before. In fact the Usagi Yojimbo comic was released by Mirage for a while. So it is not impossible that Usagi Yojimbo will appear in the new show.

[PWDESAI]

first of all i think he was referring to leatherhead
2nd of all, not most people know this but panda khan was also a seperate comic, it just didn't suceed like usagi or tmnt despite the toy
and finally, usagi rules! but stan really didn't care for usagi being in the new show, it was just really commerical is why he did it. I'm 99.9% sure stan wouldn't want usagi in the show

[Aztec General]

I did not know that about Panda Khan. I stand humbled.

[Reznorite420]

first of all i think he was referring to leatherheadLeatherhead's an alligator, not a lizard.

[azure turtle]

Dude... I love all of the new character designs. Saki looks just plain evil, and I'm really digging the new Foot Soldiers' look. Can't wait to see this cartoon! :D

[Skeletoncrew]

Wohoo! :thyper: :thyper: :thyper:

Baxter: Perfect!
Saki: Hmm... Too long hair. And waaay too baggy pants :o
Shredder: Eeeeeevil! :evilgrin: I bet he will look beautiful when animated...
Hun: Huge.
Foot: Very nice!
Purple Dragons: You're gonna get your butts kicked... :P

Well, I happen to like long hair...but I do agree, some nice tight pants on Saki would be yummy!

BTW, I notice he's taller in the Shredder outfit...must be wearing platform boots or something. :wink:

[azure turtle]

Platform boots? Hmm... Wouldn't it be funny if he was the same height as the turtles when he isn't wearing his armor?
*snicker*

[Skeletoncrew]

Hee hee hee! Or how about the Turtles get a look into his medicine cabinet?

Raph: Hmmm...Rogaine, Preperation-H, Viagra...

[azure turtle]

Hee hee hee! Or how about the Turtles get a look into his medicine cabinet?

Raph: Hmmm...Rogaine, Preperation-H, Viagra...
:teek:
ROFL!!! Poor Shredder... He must suffer from all kinds of "ailments." Heh heh...

[Skeletoncrew]

Well, leading the Foot clan and fighting the Turtles must be stressful. Stress can cause a lot of ailments...

[azure turtle]

Hmm... You do have a point. I guess I agree with that. Now I feel sorry for good ol' Saki. :embarass:

[Skeletoncrew]

I don't! Its his own darn fault for being power-hungry and vengeful!

[Kali]

*snickers at Azure at SC*

I just noticed something on Hun. Yeah, you can see the Purple Dragon tattoo on his arm, but check out his other shoulder. Is that a Foot insignia? I can't see it clearly, so I may be wrong.

[Karpo_007]

Im not sure. http://mail.edu.kitee.fi/~inaski/pic.jpg
The one in Hung's shoulder looks more like a circle... But from this angle i can't tell for sure.

[HorseTechie]

More things that make ya go "hrrmmm"... :evilgrin:

[Skeletoncrew]

Hmmm...Purple Dragon Foot. Sounds like some sort of nasty fungus!

[HorseTechie]

:lol:

Well.. if you think about it, the Foot liked to recruit punks off the street to bee there foot soldeirs. Maybe the Purple Dragon gang is gonna be like that, if not your substitutes for Rocksteady n Bebop. *shrug*

[Karpo_007]

Well they don't actually hire punks. But maybe the purple dragon is allied with them.

[Mike]

I dont think Hun is the leader, I saved the images, and when I saved the first guy on the Purple Dragon page, it said leader. Who knows, but yea, Im coming around to the ideas of new characters. These look great!

[Karpo_007]

Still hung has that tattoo.

[Nturtle]

Why did they change the foot insigna?! now it looks like a three toed sloth insigna :dead:

[Machias Banshee]

Dang.....Shredder looks Fine... :evilgrin: He'll be able to move Plenty...

Saki is one scary looking mofo...I like his outfit tho...keeps him in the Japanese feeling...

Baxter...*heh* I grew up with the white nerd, so i'm not familiar with the true Baxter. I just hope he's not all overly Politically correct and stuff...

Hmm...i have a very strong feeling that Hun-ny and his gang are going to be a lot more involved in the story than in the comics. I must agree, i love the tattoo.... :D

[Karpo_007]

Yeah Shredder will probably be fine if he can move fast. And the Baxter will pretty much be a madman.

[MzTheInsomniac]

i wondeif the first show will be an adaptation of the first issue

[heretic888]

they actually have an episode synopsis of the first episode at foxbox.tv

it really doesnt sound like the first issue to me, but rather is based on the early issues as a whole....

[Karpo_007]

Actually, the first epsode is combined from the first 2 issues. Examples: Mousers, Baxter from issue 2, Purple Dragon from issue 1. I guess they saved showdown with shredder to the later eps.

[Shellfox]

something that occured to me about Hun, Maybe he was a member of the Foot, but was throughn out due to him tring to take power from shedder, Chances are he was beaten to pulp and left for dead only to survive and joins the purple dragons, and manipulates the gang from behind the scenes a pits them aginst the foot, and try to kill the turtles as a way to embarase the shredder

[MzTheInsomniac]

wow, do u sit around and think about this stuff all day?

[Karpo_007]

HEh! Some theories... Hes probably just the Gang leader.

Looks like Hun is a part of the Purple Dragons and the Foot Clan. That new series overview at the Official Site is quite informative. :D

[Karpo_007]

And the info is all good.

so I've read, but I wrote that on the 16th so cut me some slack
as I've said I hope for the best but expect the worst, just to be on the safe side

[azure turtle]

??? I wasn't trying to sound rude, Shellfox. I was merely saying that you were right.

[Shellfox]

??? I wasn't trying to sound rude, Shellfox. I was merely saying that you were right.
oh sorry :tanime: its just how the quote looked and some thing in my mind said I should clear that up, I mean I don't usually go back pages, so um never mind I lost my train of thought

Just how I read it, and I'm feeling a bit over sensitive right now for some unknown reason

[Tokka-B]

I can see by the way your avatar looks, but its ok, Raph always has a temper :evil:

[Nturtle]

So Hun is shred-head's right hand man eh? Kind of like Tatsu, I hope he grunts!!!! :P

[Tokka-B]

Does anyone know what the opening theme song will be for the new tmnt?? Will it be the same or will they make a new one? :-?

[Kali]

They made a new one. You can get it over at http://www.ninjaturtles.com/html/2003theme.html

[Tokka-B]

AHHHHHHH, MY EARS!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?!?!?!? That song will be the death to the series, not catchy, can't tell what they are saying, AND WTH IS SINGING THAT?!?!?

I swear, if the series turns out as bad as the song, we may never here about the TMNT ever again..... :( :cry: :( :cry: :( :cry: :(

[Kali]

*shrugs* To each their own. I love it. I couldn't stop singing it for days after I first downloaded it. I've even got a cool action sequence plotted out in my head. :lol:

They coulda used the original Fox Box one:
http://www.ninjaturtlesnetwork.com/TV/FoxBox/newCartoon.htm (first link there on that page)

[Karpo_007]

I still think the Fx box one is better. But What I would have liked to have is just a theme music, No lyrics.

[Tokka-B]

I'm sorry, we all have our own opinions, I personally can't stop singing the first one. :lol: :lol:

[MzTheInsomniac]

i don't think it is mainly about the opinions, i think it is that we're all so used to the original toon's theme, that we can't accept the change

[Tokka-B]

It is because back then, all the toons had such catchy theme songs, which was good, cause I was a child and needed catchy theme songs, lol, I just can't see kids today singing that, oh well. I agree Karpo, just a theme music would be fine.

[MzTheInsomniac]

ok the original theme was something that would be stuck in your head but not a song that says Turtles count it off 1 2 3 4!

[Tokka-B]

Thank you!!! Exactly what I am saying! :D

[Kali]

*blinks* Well, it's stuck in *my* head, anyway.

[Reznorite420]

AHHHHHHH, MY EARS!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o

WHAT HAVE THEY DONE?!?!?!? That song will be the death to the series, not catchy, can't tell what they are saying, AND WTH IS SINGING THAT?!?!?

I swear, if the series turns out as bad as the song, we may never here about the TMNT ever again..... :( :cry: :( :cry: :( :cry: :(You may now DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!!!!!!

You think THAT'S bad? You need to hear the ORIGINAL idea for the theme...OMG, I won't even begin to tell you how awful that one sounds.

Can't tell what they're saying? You must not be able to process sound on a third-grade level yet...

[Reznorite420]

I still think the Fx box one is better. But What I would have liked to have is just a theme music, No lyrics.Karpo, the Fox Box one was TERR-I-BLE!!!!!!! I can't say it enough times that it sounds like a Beach Boys ripoff. This new one at least sounds like an actual THEME!

[Tokka-B]

Dude, Razor, calm down man, no need for insults. I just thought it was a bit too quickly spoken, did you memorize the song the first time you heard it? I memorized the first one within a few hours...

And please, stop the death threats, it freaks me out that people are obsessed with their own opinions that much that they go through the trouble to attack anyone who disagrees, sheesh. Texan... :evil:

Also, I never heard the foxbox one so if that one was worse, I am glad they scrapped it, but this one is still bad. Which did you like better razor, the originalk theme song or this new one?

[Reznorite420]

It's REZNOR, not RAZOR! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Tokka-B]

oops, sorry... :o :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:

[Shellfox]

I liked the one on the fox box more than this one, but it not like I have a say in way they do so oh well

[Karpo_007]

I still think that the Theme wouldn't need any lyrics. Take Batman TAS or Justice League for an example.
