When simultaneous threats from the Purple Dragons and Baxter Stockman’s mechanical Mousers force the Turtles to split into two groups, Donnie & Mikey must prove that their “B Team” is just as valuable as Leo & Raph’s “A Team.”

When it rains, it pours on our poor turtles...

So, Not only are they dealing with Shredder, the newly mutated DogPound and the Foot Soldiers... but now they've got a new surprise - and it likes to Bite. It seems our bungling Baxter Stockman has been tinkering, and has come back prepared and ready to show off his new digs. And the Purple Dragons are in the mood for some head-bashing...

Unfortunately, there's little out there in terms of more information on this episode. The one thing we do know, the boys are gonna be split up. And each duo's gonna need to work hard to get out of their fix. As always, Leo and Raph are teamed up to be the Top Dogs in terms of fighting. They are the best fighters. They don't use sticks. One of them's not trying to eat paint chips or pizza from the trash. Blah blah blah...

Don and Mike have to prove that they can be just as useful in a fight as the other two. Mind you, they can be extremely resourceful when in a tough situation. Mike usually thinks outside the box, while Donnie's adding lasers or strange devices to the same box. Yet they always seem to eke out a win, whether if it's disarming alien bombs or using molten cheeze pizza projectiles...

There's going to be enough facepalms in this episode to plant a grove in the middle of Central Park...

So,

WILL THE TURTLES MANAGE TO STOP BAXTER'S MOUSERS AND THE PD's?!
WILL DONATELLO MAKE IT THROUGH THE EPISODE WITHOUT THROTTLING MIKE?!
HECK, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE NICK-DESIGNED MOUSERS?!


You know the drill...

Stay Tuned!!!

I can't believe it took all the way till episode 11 to introduce the Mousers given their early appearances in every other series:

- Original cartoon: Episode 3
- 4kids cartoon: Episodes 1, 2 and 3
- Mirage; Issue 2
- IDW: Issue 6
- Archie: Issue 2

Well, someone's gotta break the mold. Keep in mind they introduced Stockman sort of early.

But they didn't run that episode by themselves (Leo and Raph are also there helping Nobody).

Seriously, this is like saying "Monkey Brains" is a Don/Mikey episode because they sparred in the first five minutes.

I really love the design on those Mousers. Classic look, but the red lighting in the mouth is very effective!

Also...

The mousers are awesome so far, and look much better now that they're in CGI. I have a feeling that Fishface is going to get his robotic legs in this episode.

MikeandRaph87
12-08-2012, 09:30 AM
Its odd that Fishface does not keep his legs as a mutant considering every other aquatic mutant has had legs.I thought it amusing when Shredder said Fishface was useless without legs.

Phil Lamarr's voice for Baxter reminds me of Bumper Robinson's Carter voice.

Interesting plot point with the mousers!

Baxter Stockman is in Shredder's employ afterall! Though he is human for now!Cyborg?Fly?Something else?

Good episode. I thought Baxter's Eye was going to get destroyed at the end when Shredder unleashed his blade. It really taught us that the underdogs will need help, with the "B-team" eventually getting kidnapped only to get rescued by Leo and Raph. That said I wish I'd see Fishface get into action soon as he remains a gag to Shredder and even Dogpound. MOUSERS even got an acronym; what was it again? (U is underground, S is either system or sensor). But I'd say the Turtles have been watching too much Dexter's Laboratory when they run into Baxter.

Notice that April's phone said Irma right before it got destroyed?

Overall: 8/10

NinjaMan
12-08-2012, 09:35 AM
So now we see how Baxter hooks up with the Shredder. Should be interesting to see how this works out with Shredder. Another fun, good episode. I can't wait to get those Tphone toys. Leatherhead next week!

Donatello19
12-08-2012, 09:37 AM
Eh, It was an okay episode.

Pros: It was the debut of the mousers, we got to see more of Dogpound and Fishface, Baxter Stockman now has an alliance with Shredder and the foot clan.

Cons:Mikey and Donnie were treated like they were useless and did pretty much nothing throughout the episode, Leo and Raph acted like jerks, April was barely in it, Shredder wasn't in it that much either, Fishface didn't get his robotic legs.

All in all I feel like this episode is a two parter, but I doubt we'll get a continuation of it since the next episode revolves around Leatherhead, and the one after that is called "Rat Trap" so I don't know...also, I wish they would have just used the mousers to track down Splinter like they did with the previous cartoons. This wasn't That great of an episode, especially since we had to wait two weeks for it...overall, a give this episode a 6 out of 10.

Yeah that episode didn't prove anything. Don and Mikey have fought fine in previous episodes, what was that all about? In this episode they paced around for a while, got captured, got rescued by Raph and Leo (I was desperately hoping for the other way around), who were supposedly exhausted but still able to bypass Bradford. Then Mikey proved his worth by playing keep-away and Don proved his by pointing out something for Raph to attack...?

Leo and Raph did express needing Don at a couple points, but didn't really need him after all. As for Mikey, the phrase "What's Michaelangelo good for" comes to mind.

Pretty disappointing!

Did Irma really called April ? If so that would be a really sweet Easter Egg.

I really enjoyed this episode, because Baxter Stockman is my favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles villain, so I was eagerly awaiting his alliance with Shredder.

The Mousers looked really awesome. The spray that Stockman used on Leo and Ralph so the Mousers can easily track them was a nice touch.

I'm really starting to like Dogpound.

Overall really great ep.

Yep! Irma did! Right before Aprils phone got destroyed, you see a phone call coming in and it says Irma, along with a pic of a brown haired girl with glasses. It was so quick I couldnt really get a good look at it. I wonder if she will actually be a character on the show at some point?

This was a good episode. I don't know if I loved it, but it was good.

I did not like some of the jerkish moments coming from Leo and Raph, but I knew in the end they knew that Don and Mike were good for something. It had nothing to do with brains or smarts anyway. So, I understood that. But wasn't it Donnie that stopped Metalhead, or wasn't it Mikey that punched the crap out of Bradford for the first time? Something tells me someone else wrote this episode instead of the one from the previous episodes. It seemed different.:tconfuse:

Still, I didn't like the cell phone idea that much. I mean, I felt it was right for the turtles to look for it. It had caller ID's and GPS systems, that it would be easier enough for them to track the turtles. So, I don't know what Master Splinter was thinking. The turtles were right to leave. If they didn't, they would be in great danger. He must not be aware of how technology has advanced.:twink:

Besides that, I liked it for its good parts. Dogpound is really cool in this one. I loved seeing the mousers for the first time (and the acronym).:tlol: The Space Heroes scene was funny. I mean, as a Star Trek fan, I know what that was making fun of.:tlol: Plus, the scenes where Raph and Leo are battling the mousers were so badass. Leo is awesome as always.:tcool:

My favorite part, however: Leo and Don having their arms around each other. Very good brotherly love moment.:tsmile:

Is it the best episode? Absolutely not. Is it the worst episode? Absolutely not. It's just fun.:tcool:

This episode was good. Not as good as the preceding ones, but ok. I know it's functioning to bring together the villains, so even though the turtles don't get put in the backseat, I was more interested in the future plans of the bad guys.

Also, Irma? I wonder if they'll actually have her as a part of the show. Would be nice for April to actually be shown interacting with other regular characters besides the Turtles and Splinter.

12-08-2012, 10:38 AM
What bugged me was that Donnie redeemed himself, but Mikey didn't.

The A-Team and B-Team were both in over their heads. Donnie and Mikey got captured (A sad scene to watch, because I couldn't help but compare it to the BA scene when the guys rescued Michelangelo from Bradford's place). BUT, Donnie immediately solved the MOUSER problem, proving that the A-Team would've greatly benefited from his prescience.

Mikey? All he had to do was keep the phone away, and he flubbed it in seconds.

It's kinda crazy that so many people want Irma to be a character in the show.

I remember when Viacom bought TMNT everyone was complaining and whining that they would have a show that focused on April in high school and blah blah blah.

Now it's something you want? Ok?

This episode was decent. I liked several things: Stockman aligning with shredder (guessing shredder will mutate him eventually since the show is mutagen happy haha), introduction of the mousers, the 80s ringtone, April getting a shell cell (hopefully Don gives her another one since mike blew it up :) ha) and the Purple Dragons playing a part again. Looking forward to what the shredder will have Stockman create. Any word on whether Hun will appear? Or is Dogpound his replacement as far as Shredder's right hand man goes? Maybe he could play a smaller role in the new series.

This episode was great... what would have made it fantastic is if Leonardo had dropped my favorite Leo line ever "Robots make my skin crawl" and just put me into an orgasmic nostalgic state.

I really loved how the whoel separation into two teams happened. I like that Splinter knows that the easiest way to stop his sons from being at each other's throats is to give them a common enemy. While turning Don and Mike into that adversary for Leo and Raph seems like a negative and wrong thing to do on the surface. Mike and Don have very thick skins and will be able to still function even if treated like second class citizens. I like that Splinter is intelligent enough to know that it would be worth sacrificing the well being of the two mentally stronger team members in order to coddle the sensibilities of the two divas.

All that aside the real stars of this episode were the Mousers or Mobile Offensive Underground Search Excavation and Retreival Sentries . The update of the design was perfect and the fact that they just kept coming and coming and coming totally nailed the inherent threat of the mousers. They are the zombies of the TMNT Universe, Sure a quick strike to the head kills them but blink and they can overwhelm you. Not to mention the whole radioactive isotope tracking system developed by Dexter Specman err.... Baxter Stockman, was a great way to make them even more of a threat.

My complaints are very small this week but they do exist. I have a real problem that when Donatello was explaining "Operation Space-Out" Baxter was shown as already being inside the defunct futon factory on fifth. Small complaint yes, but a complaint nonetheless. The other is the fact that Baxter was a total weenie the last time we met him and I don't know how he was able to go from that to creating an army of over 2000 mousers. It just didn't jive and I wish that the Baxter shown in this episode was the Baxter we met in the first episode. He definitely felt like more of a threat this week and also had more of that evil for the fun of it vibe from Mirage (I was half expecting him to reveal his plan to sink the city by striking at the foundation of major buildings) and also the cool suave demeanor of the IDW series. Yes that all pretty much evaporated once he was captured by the Purple Dragons and brought before Dogpound and Shredder. Still I like a competant and threatening Stockman and I hope we get to see more of the character as the show progresses.

Still the fact that the Space Heroes "red shirts" was in Orange and Purple was great IN YOUR FACE symbolism, and Raph not only coming up with a plan but having it work flawlessly was fantastic. I can't wait until Stockman makes FishFace his legs and we get some Xever action to go with the threat that is Dogpound.

In closing moment of the episode for me was my Mother sitting watching with me and going "Baxter's Black?" I guess she never had a chance to read Mirage #2 since she always thought of him as White or a Fly.

My favorite part, however: Leo and Don having their arms around each other. Very good brotherly love moment.:tsmile:

Yeah. That was really cool. Even Raph's affectionate little noogie he gave Mike right before that was nice. I know what people mean, it doesn't really feel like Mike and Don redeemed themselves much fight-wise, but I think the important thing was that the experience really humbled Raph and Leo in the end. Sometimes these little brotherly moments speak volumes, you know? :D

I also loved the part where Dogpound was teasing Fishface by tapping on his glass. Hope that guy gets his legs soon, I really want to see him in action.

And Mikey breakdancing - yes!! More of that, please. :D

Frankly, I thought the premise with the A and B Team stuff was silly. There should have been a better plot for that one, just starting with April losing her cell phone. However, I DO like that scene where we see that Space Heroes clip.:tlol: And yes, these moments do speak in volumes.:tlove:

Oh yeah. I forgot that part. That was funny, but kind of mean. Fishface was probably thinking, "Not cool, man! Wait til I get my legs, you dog sniffer, you!":tlol:

Of course. I forgot about Mikey breakdancing. That was awesome!:tcool:

Still, one of my favorite parts was when the "A Team" are battling some Mousers, and Leo jumps and balances on top of one's head to slice. I loved that. Then he jumps to balance himself on the fire hydrant. Priceless. It was incredible. That's one reason why he's my favorite.:tgrin:

Good stuff as always. I gotta say, much to my surprise, I REALLY like Dogpound. & those new Mousers are by far my favorite version of them. Using modulated cat sound effects for their 'voice' & stuff was pure genius. Their design is rad, love the glowing mouths. Great to see robots gettin' smashed, Mousers especially. I dug the theme of it all, teamwork, the importance of working together, brotherhood, etc. A friend of mine predicted a week or so back that Fishface would get his legs from Stockman, and after todays episode I'm sure that'll be the case (though I was already sold on his theory). It'll be interesting to see if they're really going to make use of that same Stockman/Shredder dynamic the 2k3 series had. I do enjoy how they're blending all of the series' together, imo they're doing a better job of that then IDW is. It's more evenly distributed and simultaneous rather than being done in large obnoxiously obvious doses (which they [IDW] did at first, but have thankfully stopped doing- Subtlety is key!).

PS: The soundtrack was kickin' today!

I don't know about everyone else, but I really would love if Irma, Vernon and Burne become regulars on the show. At least Irma since we will be getting more characters from the 1987 - 1996 series. The image was so quick that I didn't even see it. Hopefully when I watch it again, I will be able to see it.

Apparently this incarnation of Irma has bangs, I would love to see a full body of picture of her, but I guess that would have to wait, if she actually does become a regular on the show.

I took the picture from the Facebook link (thanks AnarkyLantern) and posted on here.

Also thank you DonatelloNinja82 for clearing that up :tsmile:

Awesome episode today. I liked the overall lesson that neither team is better than the other but they're all good when they're together. I also loved the Mousers, and I feel that Stockman is definitely more of a threat now that he's working for Shredder. Loved the Space Heroes clip as well as the brotherly moments. Overall, this episode was great, and I think the little nod to Irma was cool, too, even though I didn't catch it. Hopefully, April will get a new phone.

Fave quotes:

Raph: And if you guys can't handle it, don't be afraid to call us for help.
Mikey: Maybe YOU should call US for help. Or don't call us, we'll call you, or--
Don: I think they got it.
Mikey: *sticks tongue out at them.

April: Eh, whatcha gonna do?
Splinter: Hope that my next pupil is more obedient.

Raph: Dexter Bockman.
Baxter: It's Baxter Stockman
Raph: Well, I was close.

Leo: Get him.
Stockman: No, you're the ones who will be getting got. Or gotten? Get them.

See you next week, guys. Can't wait for Leatherhead's debut.

Super awesome episode. I think Kenny Byerly is my favorite writer on the show. I feel Don and Mike could have been redeemed more, but still the whole episode was exciting, funny and had me grinning the whole time.

The Mousers were cool, loved how they looked exactly like Mirage Mousers and acted like cats. The new acronym is neat: Mobile Offensive Underground Search Excavation and Retrieval Sentries. The IDW acronym is Minefield Ordnance Un-arming System Enhanced Robots, but I think I like this one better.

I like that Baxter's in Shredder's employ now, and I'm sure we'll see Xever walking around on two legs again soon. Wonder how long until Bax turns in to fly?

Aw, the synopsis misled me lol.

I was expecting a whole "Leo/Raph wasn't in the episode, got misplaced somewhere so Donnie/Mikey saves the day" story but it's more on "Leo/Raph realizing they need the other two in the long run and ditto with Don/Mikey".

Mousers are cute. And I like how the villains merged together.

Irma gets a shout out, and April has her t-phone. That self-destructs by voice command.

I don't know about everyone else, but I really would love if Irma, Vernon and Burne become regulars on the show. At least Irma since we will be getting more characters from the 1987 - 1996 series. The image was so quick that I didn't even see it. Hopefully when I watch it again, I will be able to see it. So would Irma and Vernon be April's classmates and Burne some upperclassman in charge of the school paper or something? In terms of watching, the picture flashes on screen but given how easy it paused on my friend's dvr after the show, I think it holds long enough to be read if you get up close to the tv

I took the picture from the Facebook link (thanks AnarkyLantern) and posted on here.

(you're welcome)

I think I should have rephrase what I posted. I mean, we would be getting characters from the 1987 - 1996 series since I don't know who is officially confirmed to appear or like Irma, make cameo appearances.


I'm not sure if they will show April going to school or not (although back of the figure's blister card it says that she may not fit in school with her peers) but they could just be friends. I'm not sure what direction they will take both April and Irma's friendship, since in the 1987 - 1996 series they became friends through work.

If she does become a regular, I would imagine they give her klutziness since that's a major part of her characteristics.

I assumed (and again this was my assumption) that if she and Vernon and Burne were to be regulars, April would have worked at Channel 6 ( in season two), maybe as an intern. Burne would be her boss and I assume Vernon and Irma would be April's age. But again, I really don't know and I'm keeping an open minded to whatever interpenetration they are going to give her. I know the creators don't want to take everything from the OTS since they want to leave room for reference, homages for the 1984 comic, 2003 series, the films and new stuff.

Honestly, I don't look for the references or Eater Eggs when I watch the show. It's only the second time that I do (just like when I saw Wreck -It Ralph). The episodes are so well done, I love the characters, the humor, etc. that I'm immersed in them and don't pay attention. That's how you know you have a great show on your hands.

If Venus can be used and become a solid character I see no reason why she shouldn't return.

I know a lot of people hate Venus, for whatever reason. I personally like her (she's not my favorite character but I do like her). Personally I can see her in this new incarnation but I do agree that the chances of seeing her appear is very, very slim.

I can see her as a young sister to the Turtles. She has a Toph, of Avatar: The Last Airbender attitude, can be klutzy (ruin Donnie's inventions not on purpose though) and or begs Ralph to play with her, while he shoves his magazine in his face and tries to ignore her. She falls asleep when Leo is talking to her or doesn't listen to him, and drags Mikey to play with her.

I also can see her a bass ass type of character. Think of Michonne from The Walking Dead.

I guess if the writers could redo her entire character it could work... the writing thus far has been spectacular... but I'm iffy on anything from the TNMT being in TMNT since it is one of the most universally hated things in the TMNT fandom hell the creators (or one of them) despised her so much he had made it his mission she would never ever show up again.. though Nick could do anything they want since they own the entire franchise now...

But I guess Irma might become a regular it would be nice seeing more good human characters in the show... besides Casey and April...

Trust me, it ain't gonna happen. Like I said, we won't see Venus in any TMNT incarnation for a very, very, very long time or heck maybe even never. I mean it was just something I thought up, as I'm sure many on here have thought of several other past characters interacting with the 2012 incarnation, but for those who despise her will have nothing to worry about. Heck, I don't even think Ciro likes her.

I have to say at this moment I was thinking 'Just a phone??? April has the Turtles' numbers on it!!! They can be tracked that way!!!' but everyone kinda carried on like it's just a phone. No biggie. But hey, it's April's phone. So let's get it back. NOW!!

I was under the impression that had not the Turtles insisted for the phone, the Purple Dragons/Dogpound would not realized how important it was. For all they know it was just a random phone they stole from some kid and would most likely sold away w/o even looking into it.

Oh, and the writer of that episode said in his tumblr account that was Mikey's shuriken that put the hole on that isotope spray, but was not included (him throwing it) in the final cut for some reason.

Hmm interesting. It's been a long day and I couldn't remember exactly who threw the shuriken at the spray.

As for the phone I don't know. I still say with the stakes involved, the Turtles' secrecy and all that, at least Don should have mentioned the risk of them being found out either by the Purple Dragons, the Shredder or some random person that phone would have been sold to due to the fact that April has their numbers on it. It's a small risk, but not one they should ignore, especially with Shredder and his men on the look-out for them.

Well the episode finally hit iTunes a few hours ago. Have to say, it was a great one! This episode had everything: lots of great action, healthy dose of humor, new enemies, and yes even some plot developments which is exactly what I love to see happening. I didn't feel this ep was lacking in any way, it even had some new music in it.

Mousers look great! Yeah we saw their design a while ago, but they look fabulous in motion. Love the inside of their mouths, all those glowing lines. Nice sound effect too, it sounds like they took screaming cat sounds and altered it. It works perfectly and is easily identifiable. If you ever hear that sound off-screen you'll instantly know its them.

Looks like Baxter will be building Fishface's lower body, no surprise but I like how they got him to the Shredder. The flow of the story was perfect. Actually I'm really impressed with how much they packed into this 24 minutes, it felt a lot beefier than other episodes. All the a-team, b-team stuff, April slowly starting her training process, all cool.

I wish we could see Splinter doing more than just hanging in the lair and espousing wisdom. When can we see him fight! I want to see what he looks like WITHOUT the robe, come on Nick! Or at least show his lower body more -- in other TMNT iterations you can clearly see his rat feet and legs and tail, which looks cool. Splinter would look great in action. I just really wish they would emphasis his rat features more, both in appearance as well as other ways (what other rat-like natures has he taken on as a result of his mutation, there must be some). They are definitely going the Yoda route, where he is very passive at all times and we'll probably only see him fight once a season or so. I get that, but I'm getting anxious!

Overall the writing, animation (lots of great new movements on the turtles, plus the mouser stuff), every aspect is as best as it's ever been in this ep.

Love this show!

I get all the eps on iTunes so I don't watch it when it airs. In fact I have not watched a single episode on Nick's cable station.

I would not read much into the ratings. Look at how they give away every single ep for free on nick.com! They are aware that getting people to watch the show when it first airs is a losing battle.

They are more interested in revenue from toys and other merchandise than the show. The show is just a vehicle to get people to buy that stuff.

How exactly would Spongebob and Ninja Turtles be in competiton given that they air on the same network?

I wish everyone would quit the laser focus on ratings and reviews. Everyone knows that people download,DVR, etc nowadays. Ratings are virtually meaningless. Merch sales are what will make or break this show. They seem to be having no problem in that department.

I kept thinking Mike and Don would save the day at the end but they really didn't. The episode was kind of a letdown for that reason, which is a shame because most of it was pretty good.

I love how the Mousers one at a time are easily to kill, but when they just keep coming the Turtles have their hands more than full. Nice to see Baxter working for Shredder which was something many of us knew would happen/

Its starting to bother me that the Purple Dragons consist of a grand total of 3 people now. Seriously, are they going to get any new members?

I loved the ring tone of the T-Phone. :tcool: Very cool! I also think that Baxter's first job will be to make Xever a pair of legs so he can be of some use to The Foot Clan. I do wonder what else Shredder might have planned for him though.

I liked this Episode!

The Mousers were great, their Sounds, their Movements..disturbing little Kreachers, I mean Robots.
So many Comic references, not alone their Design,but how Raph throw his Sai into the Mousers Eye or how Leo cut the Head off of it. Sure, minor Things, still like it.
Also that Turtle Poster with the red Bandana, the Purple Dragon throw their Darts on.

I loved the 'walking Dead'-Joke, since I happen to be a Fan of the old Enterprise.

I would like to see more Leo/Raph and Don/Mikey Team Action, but then again I think, it won't be a well balanced Team anymore,so I'm not sure if that's such a good idea.
Dogpound was also great in this Episode.I do enjoy this Character a lot.

People forget this is the first time the Mousers have had, "personality" which really made them stand out. In all other incarnations they're just random robots that march onward and crunch.

In this show they, "roar," and actually seem to be intelligent like cats or dogs chasing their prey. The red in their mouths worked wonders.

I didn't like him much to begin with, but now he's grown on me. I loved the "redshirt" reference, and the mousers having an acronym and sounding like robotic cats. Overall, the episode kind of felt rushed plot-wise, while simultaneously being slow moving. I don't know how that happened.

I could totally see irma being a part of this series, adding to some sort of a love triangle between donnie, april and irma. It is a kid's show afterall

It's not a love triangle unless Irma is a lesbian or something.

Probably towards Irma he means. IF he maintains her 'wants a man' attitude in the series. IF we ever see her past that OT throwback cameo that is.

I do wonder how April would react if Don went ga-ga over some female mutant. I know she doesn't care, but girls do tend to ignore guys and then get a little annoyed when that same guy they ignore is suddenly fawning over someone else. Kinda like 'hey... only I can ignore him!'

I highly doubt would be SO desperate for a man she'd turn to beastality.

I can see Irma working if she's April's friend who wants to meet the Turtles like early in the original cartoon.

Another nice chapter!!!
***Why is not there a poll about it???***

My prefers:
Mousers Nice!!!! and their sound effects and the name MOUSERS being an acronym !!! :lol: They looks so nice and dangerous, like biting Dogpound´s tail!!! :lol: !!!
Irma in April´s phone.....of course...! :twink: nice touch too
Adorable Mikey breaking dancing and given names to all the Donatello´s ideas!!!! :lol: !!! :tthumbsu::tthumbsu::thyper:
Finally about all the A and B team.... I think the intention of show us they are as good as the others was not so brilliant after all....B Team seems to me only be Donatello advantage about technology and same A Team seems only be Leo´s leader ideas.... Anyway I like all brotherly moments! :tcool:

Ok....I'm just lazy and also at work and without my comic and the episode, so...

What are differences the IDW and Nick M.O.U.S.E.R. acronyms.

IDW= Minefield Ordnance Unarming System Enhanced Robots

2K12= Mobile Offensive Undergound Search Excavation and Retreival Sentries

Leo: Sounds a bit forced.

IDW's sounds a lot useful though. Robots for minefields.

I loved this episode great interactions between the guys a a lot of funny moments ,but I have to say I miss Xever I think he had the chops to be a great villain I hope he does well as fish face.

I cracked laughing out loud when Donatello's ringtone went off. Someone has to have this ringtone, where can I get it?

This show has been the best TMNT I've seen in years.

Finally got to watch this episode, and it was fantastic. Baxter was redeemd since he was treated like a dork but a smart dork which I'm fine with. It's missing the charm of the OT and not as interesting as 2k3 but this new show has found a way to still be entertaining in it's own right.

I agree, I actually didn't think I would like this Baxter much after his first appearance, but he almost came across as a different character in this one.

He has that bumbling and arrogant personality that made the 4kids one great too.

I had a lot of trouble taking this version of Baxter Stockman seriously at first but I am starting to see a couple of traits for the 2003 version though he so far he not nearly as ruthless.

I wonder how Bradford knew Stockman was talking about robots when he told him about the mousers?

Thanks for the kind words. I don't think they would be interested in a superhero that likes to play jazz guitar, vibes & tympani, with Mikey drumming. It would be cool if that was brought to life. Then I'd feel like Gepetto.

The 4Kids one wasn't bumbling though... it's just he was a normal guy in a series about martial arts fighters and such.

The Nicktoons Baxter is the one ten times more likely to trip over his own shoe laces than the 4Kids one.

Once again, writers proved that they can cram a lot of events in the single episode and it won't feel rushed. Which is rare talent.

Baxter was fun and now it's obvious, where Xever will get his robolegs. Overall pretty good episode.
