Will Krang, Bebop or Rocksteady appear?

[Deathknight]

I know that Shredder and Baxter Stockman will apear in the new cartoon but what about Krang Bebop and Rocksteady. What's so great about Baxter Stockman that he gets a part in the new cartoon? I always though he was kind of stupid. What always made me laugh was starting in Son of Return of the Fly how becoming a fly somehow made him super strong and fast so he just sits there and beats the crap out of Shredder Bebop and Rocksteady. Bebop and Rocksteady aren't really that important but I think that Krang should have an appearance instead of Baxter Stockman.

[Kali]

Well, Baxter Stockman, the insane scientist, was in the original Mirage comics, which is what they're taking ideas from for the most part. He won't be anything like the whiny, spineless wimp from the original cartoon series.

I know Laird said they wouldn't be using Krang, although they might bring the Utroms in, or Bebop and Rocksteady.

[Skeletoncrew]

Hmmm...I wonder whether Baxter will be african american in this cartoon? I wonder why they changed his race for the old cartoon?

[azure turtle]

I didn't know Baxter was originally African American until I got the second issue of the first volume. They probably won't be changing his race for the new cartoon, since they'll be following the comics.

I don't know about this...I don't know if the world has yet escaped the PC era.

Yeah, I know Bebop was originally black too, but they only showed the human Bebop in the first two episodes, and not for very long.

[azure turtle]

I guess we'll find out once the cartoon begins showing on Fox Box. :smile:

[Deathknight]

I wish they would bring back Krang. He was a great character on the original series. He always seemed to have a great plan to use and would always blame everything that went wrong on Shredder. I just really hope that Baxter doesn't take that kind of role. I just can't see him giving orders to shredder like Krang did.

[Kali]

Shredder and Baxter never worked together in the comics, so I doubt they'd team up, neither seems the type.

[speedracer]

I guess Peter Laird has declared that Shredder is an essential villian and Krang isn't.

That's too bad. They had a really funny rapport/rivalry going on.

My favorite Shredder and Krang moment? When Shredder returns from the Technodrome having lost the Medi-Laser that they need to fix some of the Technodrome's organic circuits, Krang starts berating him. Shredder then removes a metal panel from the wall and places it over Krang's body's stomach so he can't see.

[Dr. Terminus]

krang i believe has just an important role in the storylines as shredder.bebop and rocksteady were originally foot soldiers as you know but they have built up into the original storyline as far as baxter being african american i never knew

[Skeletoncrew]

Now that I've started watching the cartoons again, I can't help but think that Krang and Shredder act like a mixed-up married couple. They're always arguing and berating each other!

[Loolaa]

Yeah I noticed that, it's hilarious, they're the two funniest characters in the cartoon! :grin:

[azure turtle]

LOL! I've always enjoyed the interaction between Krang and Shredder! They're so funny...I liked the interactions between Shredder and his goons, Rocksteady and Bebop. He was always insulting them! :lol:

[Dr. Terminus]

yeah that was pretty funny

[Skeletoncrew]

And its so cute when Shredder tries to impress Krang by doing something...and Krang just doesn't go for it.

[TMNT Freakazoid]

:lol: lauhgs at the whole topic :lol:

[TMNT Freakazoid]

actually rocksteady and bebop were cool, but i also thing weverything is cool :roll: and i know i cant spell but bear with me :P
*laughs*

[Skeletoncrew]

I always liked Rocksteady more than Bebop, but I'm not sure why.

[Loolaa]

Me too. I'm not sure why either.

[TMNT Freakazoid]

I like Bebop more kinda because his attitude you know?? :x

[Mike]

No Krang?! YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry all you cartoon fans, but this just shows that they are going closer to the comics! Refresh my memory....was Bebop and/or Rocksteady ever in the Mirage comics?

[Nturtle]

Aww... no krang :( yeah I'm a cartoon fan and it would of been cool to see krang in the new cartoon, but then aain he can be annoying :ohwell:

[PWDESAI]

the utroms were in the original comic though let's hope they make an appearance

[Karpo_007]

Yeah there might be some utroms but probably not krang...

[azure turtle]

No Krang?! YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry all you cartoon fans, but this just shows that they are going closer to the comics! Refresh my memory....was Bebop and/or Rocksteady ever in the Mirage comics?
Nope. Bebop and Rocksteady only appeared in Archies TMNT Adventures.

[Nturtle]

krang was too!! and he took over old shred-head!!!

[PWDESAI]

ahem in episode F-28 it is corrected that shredder's real name is grate-man. Please for the sake of all huge tmnt nerds, please get it right, or get a life...
(said in the voice of the comic book guy from the simpsons)

[Nturtle]

:tconfuse:

[Karpo_007]

I didn't really get the last one, Paul.. :roll:

[PWDESAI]

i'm just trying to be one of the stuck up star trek nerds...
anywho, how are things everyone?

[Nturtle]

:lol: sorry but you lost me there, fine how about you :P

[HorseTechie]

Oh well.. I'm cool either way who they'll have in the new cartoon. You all should give the comic book characters a chance too. Why, cause I said so! :P

Sides.. therte will always be the eps of the old cartoon to see all you like of classic Krang, Bebop, and Roacksteady. *makes a run before people start kicking her out*

[Skeletoncrew]

I love TMNT in all their incarnations! Rocksteady and Bebop or not!!

[azure turtle]

Me too!! Although I'm not too fond of Image, I still want to get every issue just because it's about the TMNT! :D

[Karpo_007]

Well try mycomicshop.com! I ordered almost full first volume there!
Almost everything on NM condition!

[azure turtle]

Ooh... I've never visited that website before. How was the shipping? Was it fast? Expensive??

[Karpo_007]

Well i ordered to finland so i cant say about the shipment in states, but when they have checkked the items the shipment will take 2 days...
And they have!

[azure turtle]

Woah, that's pretty fast!! Thanks for the tip, Karpo! :D

[Karpo_007]

No problem! that place has the biggest turtle collection on the net...

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

They're not bringing Krang back?! What the heck? He is essential to the chemistry that made the show what it was. That blob of brains cracks me up constantly.

Krang had some of the greatest lines during the cartoon's run, and he always made me laugh. Some of his greater lines include:

"BEBOP! ROCKSTEADY!!" - from "Turtles and the Hare" (it's the way he says it that's funny; you have to see it)

"Why don't you jettison your android body? It would give us more room."
"Why don't you jettison your head? It's the most USELESS THING IN HERE!" - Shredder and Krang from "The Foot Soldiers Are Revolting"

"Nothing ever works in this stupid place!" - from "Plan 6 from Outer Space"

"'A piece of cake', someone said? It looks more like a mud pie to me!" - from "Turtles at the Earth's Core"

"And then we will go into reruns! I guess." - from "Planet of the Turtles"

[azure turtle]

Since the new cartoon is supposed to be following the comics, Krang's appearance is totally unlikely. I agree, though... He was one of the best villains ever. He and Shredder had some of the funniest arguments.
*sigh*
Those were the good ol' days. ;)

[Nturtle]

unless shredder joins forces with the utroms, it looks like he already has with Baxter since there are the same mousers in the begining in conjuction with foot soilders

[Karpo_007]

Well they are not neccerily connected...

[azure turtle]

Weren't the Utroms supposed to be good aliens as opposed to Krang??

[Nturtle]

I don't really know, most of what I know about Mirage is from the summeries on Ninja turtles network :embarass: but I think they were bad :-?
well first the mousers and then after the sewer collapses the foot soilders apear imedietly!! I think they are connected

[HorseTechie]

Weren't the Utroms supposed to be good aliens as opposed to Krang??
Yes.. they are the good aliens, according to Mirage and the new comic. Maybe a little over zealous, but they don't mean harm to humankind (unlike the Triceratons).

[Karpo_007]

True utroms are allies...

[Nturtle]

oh ok, I didn't know that, but didn't they capture splinter? maybe it was a misunderstanding :ohwell:

[Nickokapo]

Yeah but they captured him just to heal him..

[Karpo_007]

yeah... i dont know who came with the idea of utroms being evil.. int he episode "four musket turtles" krang had other utroms helping him with some experiment...

[Nturtle]

oh I see, yeah occasionally other krang like creaturs apeared in the cartoon but I'm not sure if they were called utroms

A few more:

Shredder: "You heard him! Prepare to return to the surface."
Rocksteady: "Oh man! That's all we ever do, is go up and down, up and down."
Krang: "It sounds like the perfect assignment for a couple of yo-yos."
- Turtles on Trial

Shredder: "You're right. Let's try to use your new experimental brainwave enhancer to increase their robotic intelligence! Do you think it'll work?"
Krang: "Miracles I don't do."

I've seen people posting quotes from the 'toon so i was going to post that one but it seems that you already did. :D That's one of my favorites, if not my favorite, quotes in the cartoon!!

[Nturtle]

[Nturtle]

wow thats a lot quotes!!!! :P :lol: can't compete with that

[Deathknight]

I had another post with a bunch more quotes... somewhere in general tmnt discussion.

[Karpo_007]

How many times have you watched the eps... You have a pretty good memory...

[Nturtle]

Yeah I don' remember most of those, unless you rewwatched the eps

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

Remembering lots and lots of quotes really isn't that hard. Once you've seen an episode once or twice . . . or umpteen times . . . they just come to you whenever you need one. :P

Then again, some of us have been known to be obsessed with the Ninja Turtles cartoon. Not that I fit into that category.

Nope. Not me. :D

"My beautiful strategy done in by a pizza!" - Raphael, from "Leatherhead Meets the Rat King"

[Nickokapo]

Well i remember the "Why don't you jettison your head?" quote...and the "it's remarkable what one can do" quote...but i don't remember much quotes...deathknight must have super-memory! :D

[Deathknight]

I've seen most of the episodes at least twice, all the ones I have taped off of USA I've only watched once but I'm working on getting those in divx or FHE vhs.
