Nick TMNT panel at SDCC 2014

[NinjaPug]

The panel will be held Saturday 7/26 from 11:15 - 12:15

I figured we could use this thread for posts related to the event like last year instead of cluttering up the Official News thread.

[kelligrafie]

I'm so jealous of everyone going. :(

[Roseangelo]

LOL. The exclusive Playmates figure is an obvious ripoff of NECA.

[Bry]

LOL. The exclusive Playmates figure is an obvious ripoff of NECA.

Wow, and they're not even being subtle about it. Too bad their version looks so much worse. :trazz:

Is that a new sculpt? Or is it Frankensteined together from other releases, I wonder?

[Roseangelo]

It's hard to tell from the picture. I wonder if it's the unreleased "comic" Raph from 2009.

[zkarlette]

Man, I knew I was going to end up missing this, I'm just going to be left with Sunday's scraps :/

[Zulithe]

Cool figure... if it goes for sale on amazon like last year I'll buy one.

Wish it were a Nickelodeon figure but whatever.

And guys, these panels usually make it online there's 2 or 3 people (at least) recording them usually... so we'll get to see it thanks to their hard work and dedication to the fandom.

Seanlong will be one of the people recording it... he does so every year (and usually asks a question too)

[joefsas]

Anybody able to post a pic of 'said' figure? My work computor won't allow me to see the link :)

[Bry]

It's hard to tell from the picture. I wonder if it's the unreleased "comic" Raph from 2009.

Looks completely different, actually!

Or at least mostly different... there may be some reused parts in there?

Kind of funny that they wouldn't use the complete, unreleased sculpt that they already had. Though they're clearly aping the NECA figures with this new one...

[raph27]

That comic Raph is really original. Really original. :tlol:

[plastroncafe]

Dear Nick,

Thank you for making the Korra and Turtle panels on different days this year. I appreciate that.

Sincerely,
Plas

p.s. My wallet thanks you for making the exclusive figure something I already have from NECA.

I'll pass on the b&w Raph.... but I would KILL for those 2009 figures!! What's the story with those??

Official panel description:

Saturday, July 26, 11:15a.m.–12:15p.m. -- Nickelodeon: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Booyakasha! – Revel in the mutation madness as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles nunchuk their way through bad guys, eat pizza and kick Kraang butt! Executive producers Ciro Nieli and Brandon Auman pull back the curtain to give an in-depth look at the creation of the current series and talk with the amazing voice talent behind NYC’s most dangerous teenagers: Sean Astin (Raphael); Rob Paulsen (Donatello); Greg Cipes (Michelangelo); Seth Green (Leonardo); Mae Whitman (April O’Neil); Josh Peck (Casey Jones) and Kelly Hu (Karai). Moderated by Rich Magallanes (SVP of Current Series Animation for Nickelodeon). Room: 6A.

[CyberCubed]

So this isn't a preview of Season 3? Shame, I was hoping to see some Season 3 info and see designs for the Triceratons and such.

[Zulithe]

YES! Seth will be there. Great way to kick off the S03 hype train

Sucks that Splinter and Shredder's voice actors won't be there this time, but it's cool to get to talk with some of the new talent, such as Casey.

So this isn't a preview of Season 3? Shame, I was hoping to see some Season 3 info and see designs for the Triceratons and such.

Well Ciro will probably do his usual showing of a few art stills and such but since this panel is taking place before S02 technically ends I am wondering if they will show much S03 stuff... I really hope they show/tell us a few tidbits though.

[plastroncafe]

Full Cast appearance? Yeah, I'll be in line for that bright and early in the morning!

Has any mention of a signing been announced?

[NinjaPug]

So this isn't a preview of Season 3? Shame, I was hoping to see some Season 3 info and see designs for the Triceratons and such.

I'm sure they will talk about S3 and show sketches of new characters like last year.

A design of the Triceratons is what I hope to see the most.

[CyberCubed]

Here's hoping Seth Green's Leonardo doesn't sound completely different.

I'd also like to see more of Bebop and Rocksteady, like maybe a small scene of them assuming they aren't mutated in the last 4 Season two episodes.

[TurtleTitan97]

Wow. That figure looks lame with a capital L.

[kelligrafie]

Yeah every year we seem to get a decent update including videos etc.

Last time we had the pre-vis for Pizza Face and Manhattan Project. They're were really cool. And they showed a lot of cool stuff in 2012.

Plus they've got all four turtles plus Casey, Karai and April - it sounds like a really awesome panel.

I'm quite excited for the news we'll get out of it. It's not the same as going in person, but still.

[Candy Kappa]

I'll pass on the b&w Raph.... but I would KILL for those 2009 figures!! What's the story with those??

Rick

Playmates didn't like it that NECA was making good figures, did their own for regular retail since NECA was confined to specialty stores. Then Playmates clanked the whole thing after showing Prototypes of their extremely inferior Mirage based figures. Shredder and the Foot looked TERRIBLE.

[NinjaPug]

Now that a panel at SDCC is official, what do you hope they reveal?

Here's what I'm hoping for:
- A completed design of a Triceraton.
- Season 2 finale trailer (similar to the S1 finale trailer last year) and airdate
- I'd love if they announced Renet, Fugitoid and Usagi were coming

[NinjaPug]

In addition to the panel on Saturday, IGN will have live interview with cast/crew later that day.

[CyberCubed]

Bebop and Rocksteady in motion would be nice. Remember their designed were leaked they technically haven't been officially revealed yet.

[MaximeLoonatic]

Bebop and Rocksteady in motion would be nice. Remember their designed were leaked they technically haven't been officially revealed yet.

Yeah, coz I'm still unsure if the russian it's the new Rocksteady. I need to know from them

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah would love to see Bebop and Rocksteady and some Triceratons. I do hope they talk about when the finale will air, too. I'm so anxious to see the rest of the season!

[shredder orokusaki]

Αt how many hours does it start? i will be at home for the next 23 hours but at this time tomorow i will be out .

[snake]

I can't wait, we always get new stuff during SDCC.

[Donatello19]

I'm very excited to see what they'll show! At the least I'm hoping for a sneak peek at the S2 finale and some S3 things...hopefully Karai stuff too, but I doubt it.

[Roseangelo]

I can already confirm we'll be seeing some sort of previews for both the rest of S2 and also S3.

[CyberCubed]

I can already confirm we'll be seeing some sort of previews for both the rest of S2 and also S3.

I am praying that we see Hun, Triceratons, Fugitoid, and maybe Usagi Yojimbo for Season 3.

[TurFlytle]

I am praying that we see Hun, Triceratons, Fugitoid, and maybe Usagi Yojimbo for Season 3.

I don't know about Hun or Usagi, but Fugitoid could be a possibility. We already know Triceratons are gonna appear.

[NinjaPug]

“@TMNTMaster: Leatherhead will be returning- who's pumped?! #TMNT #SDCC”

Showing a clip for "Into Dimension X". The Turtles go through a portal to Dimension X which looks really trippy, pink sky, floating islands, no gravity, different laws of physics.

Turtles are looking for Mikey. Then they get zapped by some ball.worm looking things. Looks like something out of a video game. Comment that Mikey isn't around to give them a name.

Then they show Leatherhead being tortured by the Kranng.

Meanwhile the Turtles find a cute little creature that turns into a big giant one and starts chasing them around and Mikey comes and rescues them. Has a strange helmet on. Mikey says he's been here for months.

[CyberCubed]

He's so short.

[Leofan26]

I can't see it :(

No Triceratons?

I too really want to see them. Are they confirmed at all?

Muckman & Joe Eyeball", coming next season to TMNT

[Leofan26]

Season three looks awesome :D

[Autbot_Benz]

awesome I love when they take guys from the 80's cartoon and give them the nick spin. I loved Mondo Gecko and napoleon bonafrong can't wait for toys of them.

[Mondo_Gecko]

Mondo Gecko!!!!! What?

And Muckman too?

Is it Christmas? Wow! I have to say, as much as I want new characters, very,very happy with this news. Can't wait to see their interpretation.

Is Napoleon Bonafrog confirmed? I hope the other three Frogs will be included as well. I've always saw them as a team and a mirror image of the turtles.

So are Muckman and Creep two separate characters then? Interesting....

A lot of information to digest. Hmmm.....

[Gin Rummy]

Muckman looks nasty! He was always a favorite of mine. Glad to see he's going to get into the new show. He had a Killer figure in the original toy line.

[ssjup81]

Robbie Rist is voicing Mondo Gecko
Wow, so the show will have 1990 movie Mikey and Donny (Slash)! Awesome! Someone theorized if Leatherhead's old owner will play a role and mutate into Mondo Gecko.

[Leofan26]

Is it over than?

Gah, I hope some one uploads the trailer soon :(

[Vicky82]

[Ninjinister]

I'm guessing this is Bonafrog, dah?

...Ummm, d-does he have poop on his head?

[CyberCubed]

Is The Creep and Muckman the same character?

[Cure]

Could just be dirt what with the twig and leaf.

But I'd love for it to be sh*t just to see everyone flip out.

[TurFlytle]

...Ummm, d-does he have poop on his head?

Probably that's his weapon. :lol: Frog sh*t! Go!

[CyberCubed]

So still no Triceratons? What?

[Vicky82]

I saw this on Tumblr and i'm confused.


Is Mikey saving the day?! Well, this is new

According to the panel, Mikey says he’s been surviving in Dimension X for months. Looks like our baby broturtle is all grown up!

Mikey survived alone in dimenion x for months… For months!!!!!! He’s gonna be a turtelly different turtle…../

[CyberCubed]

Time passes differently in Dimension X than Earth probably.

[Chris_a_Bunga]

Oh my god, the mondo gecko design is amazing i love it! Yesss!!! :d:d:d:d:d

[Donatello19]

Ahhh! The Leo one shot looks amazing, can't wait!

[Raph's Girl]

Those Beavers have belly badges ala the Care Bears. Weird. The Creep looks like Swamp Thing.

[Donatello19]

Any chance that those of us who aren't at SDCC can see the panel eventually? Like, a recording?

[ssjup81]

Time passes differently in Dimension X than Earth probably.I now wonder if they're all going to be separated. In the gif, it looks like Leo says, "Mikey?!", like he's surprised. I could be over interpreting, but it may end up being that kind of a situation. Either the four end up separated or the other three get separated from Mikey, and he had to survive in Dimension X alone and then when he gets reunited with his brothers, he'll explain the tale of how he survived.

Maybe Mikey may even save them and actually get the credit he deserves for it for a change. This experience might also add more to his character. Ciro has said that he wanted to mature Mikey in his own way...maybe Dimension X will aid in it.

[CyberCubed]

Napoleon looks really lame and that fanny pack in front? Usually the mutant designs in this show look really cool.

[Allio]

I am praying that we see Hun, Triceratons, Fugitoid, and maybe Usagi Yojimbo for Season 3.

Hasn't it been confirmed by Stan that Miyamoto Usagi won't appear again in TMNT?

[miru]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Btfi5PxIIAAdTlw.jpg

I knew it! He was gonna come back!

[TurFlytle]

Those Beavers have belly badges ala the Care Bears. Weird. The Creep looks like Swamp Thing.

We need a Dream Badgers show, Nick! We gotta teach the kids that being evil is good!

[Papenbrook]

Did we get any news on Timothy?

[Leofan26]

Hasn't it been confirmed by Stan that Miyamoto Usagi won't appear again in TMNT?

Well, it was confirmed on some website I think.

I hope that's true and he appears in season three :D

I like the idea of how they decided to mature Mikey, that's an intresting way. Looking forward to it :)

One shot Leo though man, am I excited :D

Some one please upload the trailer :D

[BubblyShell22]

OMG this is awesome! That Leo one-shot ep looks intense! So excited for it as well as all of the stuff for season three. So awesome! Did they say when the rest of season 2 is going to air?

[miru]

I'm guessing this is Bonafrog, dah?

http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140726201833/tmnt/images/e/e2/Napoleon2k12.png

Well, he's called Napoleon Dyna-frog. Maybe he'll double mutate to Bonafrog.

[JTH]

Well, he's called Napoleon Dyna-frog. Maybe he'll double mutate to Bonafrog.
...no.

That was a pun so people knew who they were talking about.

[CyberCubed]

So no shots of Bebop and Rocksteady, Triceratons or Fugitoid?

[TurtleTitan97]

Robbie Rist is voicing Mondo Gecko

:o NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is so awesome!!!!:D

[Mondo_Gecko]

So no shots of Bebop and Rocksteady, Triceratons or Fugitoid?


You're probably better off not knowing. You'll just be disappointed and complain. God forbid they take Bebop, Rocksteady and the Triceratons in a different direction.

[FrostXxBitex]

Any Karai news whatsoever?? :(

[JTH]

Do people remember how much stuff was actually shown at SDCC last year?

This is about the extent they revealed last year. Concept Art, some new characters and the Season Finale Trailer.

A lot of the clips and sneak peeks of Season 2 last year came at NYCC in October, including the full season 2 premiere.

It will likely be the exact same thing this year.

[Donatello19]

Is it true that we have to wait until September for the rest of S2? :ohwell:

[Candy Kappa]

YEEEES!

It's probably the closest thing we'll get of the Terror Bears, I am stoked.

[CyberCubed]

So what's the difference between The Creep and Muckman then? Aren't they the same?

I'm really surprised at the lack of Mirage. No Fugitoid, Triceratons, Renet, not even Hun?

[Metalwolf]

So that trailer was of the last Season 2 episodes, and not Season 3?

[TurFlytle]

So what's the difference between The Creep and Muckman then? Aren't they the same?

I'm really surprised at the lack of Mirage. No Fugitoid, Triceratons, Renet, not even Hun?

Are you going to keep on whining about no Mirage characters?! You think it's the end of the world! :tgrumble:

[Powder]

Well it does kinda suck to not have the series represented character wise, though I do appreciate the visuals that pay tribute to parts of the comics. Well, Leatherhead & King were created in the OG books, so there's that... but to the gen pub they're synonymous with the OT. Supposedly Triceratons are on the way, so that's cool. Fugitoid does seem a perfect fit for this series though. Hope he comes on board, too.

[CyberCubed]

We didn't see Bebop and Rocksteady either.

[Shadowmanmax]

So that trailer was of the last Season 2 episodes, and not Season 3?

Yeah it was all The way to the end of season 2 finale

[Metalwolf]

We didn't see Bebop and Rocksteady either.In all honesty, the only time they mentioned the Triceratons was graffiti on a payphone. We DON'T KNOW if they will be featured, but it is possible they MIGHT be. It's too early to tell at the moment.

[Hurrijak]

Is the Dimension X footage posted anywhere? I thought I saw the window for it, but it's gone & there's nothing on Youtube?

[pennydreadful]

Awesome; I'm psyched! :tgrin: Can't wait to see what they do with Mondo Gecko, and boy am I hanging out for the Leo one-shot.

If Mikey does end up having to survive on his own in Dimension X for a while, it could mean that he matures quite a bit mentally and emotionally, which would be interesting.

[Leofan26]

Man...that slow-mo of Leo through the window....:(

[Foombamaroom]

Time passes differently in Dimension X than Earth probably. That'd be a great thing to see happen.

Man...that slow-mo of Leo through the window....:( It's such an iconic and painful shot. I CAN'T WAIT.

[TigerClaw]

I wonder what origin are they going for with Mondo Gecko? I hope they go with the Archies Series Comic origin. The one from the 80s cartoon completely retconned the Turtles origin.

[Foombamaroom]

I wonder what origin are they going for with Mondo Gecko? I hope they go with the Archies Series Comic origin. The one from the 80s cartoon completely retconned the Turtles origin. I think it will be completely new. Think of Slash and Rahzar as examples.

[Asha]

I'm very heavily reminded of the Terror Bears.

https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2416/2105336134_d65edf7d32.jpg

I remember there was a easter egg reference to Terror Bears on April computer

[Metalwolf]

That'd be a great thing to see happen.

It's such an iconic and painful shot. I CAN'T WAIT.I'm wondering if the thing on top of Mikey's head might be a dead Kraang, and Mikey's wearing it for a 'hat.' That would kind of be really dark for Mikey, and would explain why he looks so serious in the concept art.

[TigerClaw]

I think it will be completely new. Think of Slash and Rahzar as examples.
Well, I'm sure Mondo Gecko's origin will be like in the comics, Where he was a human before mutation. And given that there are still Canisters with Mutagen all over the city, I say there's a possibility that, some kid comes in contact with it and becomes Mondo Gecko.

[raph27]

Dat trailer....OMIGOSHICANNOTWAIT! YEEEEEEEES!

[TigerClaw]

Hah, Check out this TMNT Cosplay from SDCC.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Btgg8SZCMAIIZtB.jpg:large

[Master Splinter]

We didn't see Bebop and Rocksteady either.

We have already seen their designs a few weeks ago, why waste the time to show them again...

-ms

[Foombamaroom]

They confirmed the Triceratons which is why it makes no sense we didn't see them.

We didn't see Bebop and Rocksteady either.

We've already seen Bebop and Rocksteady's designs, and I wanna be shocked by what the Triceratons look like.

[mexichrist83]

Great updates from SDCC! I'm pretty satisfied with what was revealed. Any more revelations would just be too much and we've had plenty spoiled for us already. I almost kind of ash I didn't read most of these updates but I'm excited!

A Nick version of Mondo Gecko is really awesome! Not sure how the Party Van will work since we already have the Shellraiser.....unless the Shellraiser gets destroyed in the next few episodes or in season 3. The trailer for the last episodes of season 2 look fantastic and I hope they make up for the kind of lackluster season this has been. The Nick version of the Leo ones shot is really exciting and I can't wait to see it! I like that while Nick is using of lot of OT Turtles characters and vehicles it is using Mirage for some story lines and story arcs. I am still hoping for Fugitoid in season 3 but so far I like how Nick is handling the series so far.

[ToTheNines]

I wonder what Leo is going to utter after landing on the floor. Wouldn't make sense to be the classic "He's... back. The... Shredder!".

[CyberCubed]

We've already seen Bebop and Rocksteady's designs, and I wanna be shocked by what the Triceratons look like.

Bebop and Rocksteady were never officially revealed by Nick. Their designs were leaked by Playmates.com and then they deleted them because they weren't supposed to show them yet.

I'm really surprised Nick didn't show off Bebop and Rocksteady at all. People have been asking for them since Season 1 began and now that they're being introduced they don't show them off?

I am glad they'll wait until Season 3 to mutate them though, as we can see in the trailers Bebop/Rocksteady probably aren't in the end of Season 2.

[victory_angel]

I am glad they'll wait until Season 3 to mutate them though, as we can see in the trailers Bebop/Rocksteady probably aren't in the end of Season 2.

Hey, we didn't know Rahzar was gonna be in Shellacne. Just because they aren't in the trailers doesn't mean there isn't the possibility of them being their. The trailers are only there to give us a glimpse of some of the things to come, not spoil the story.


A Nick version of Mondo Gecko is really awesome! Not sure how the Party Van will work since we already have the Shellraiser.....unless the Shellraiser gets destroyed in the next few episodes or in' season 3.

That could be what Donnie's screeching "My Baby!" about in the trailer. To date, the Shellraiser has been Donnie's crowning achievement to it would only make sense he would think of it as his baby.

[Galactus]

It'd be cool if Mikey had an arc similar to Leo in 2K3 where he comes back from Dimension-X somewhat broody and it's striking up a friendship with Mondo that makes him like his old self.

[CyberCubed]

Mondo Gecko looks really creepy with no neck, he looks more like a slug now. I'm not digging Napoleon's design at all either.

One thing about the OT mutants is they all looked "humanoid" even though they were animals. They weren't monsters or short little things or whatever. This show does the opposite.

[TigerClaw]

For comparison, Here's Mondo Gecko Fred Wolf Style vs Nickelodeon Style

"DreamBeaver" is clearly a play on "DreamWeaver," just as "Terror" and "Bear" almost rhyme the way "Care" and "Bear" rhyme.

Exactly what my thought was. In the middle of the trailer, we see them driving away in the party van, and the only reason I can see for them not using the shellraiser is that it's gone.

[shredder orokusaki]

Awesome news. But when the rest of season 2 episodes willl air?

[Mr. Stay Puft]

Awesome news about Mondo Gecko and Muckman. My oldest son was just asking me yesterday morning if Mondo would be showing up on the Nick show. And Muckman is my kids' favorite figure they inherited from my childhood collection.

[FrostXxBitex]

Wasn't there supposed to be an interview as well? Anyone know where that is?

[Midnight Mutant]

Donnie steps in as leader?!?! Ok, I'm actually really curious and excited to see how that pans out!

This trailer is amazing! It looks like (Correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not extremely familiar with all the comics yet) Mirage #10/Leonardo #1 is happening?!?

I'm not too keen on Mondo returning, I didn't really like him, but I'm hoping that his version of him will be alright. I'm hoping his origin is a little more interesting as opposed to 'He was in the ooze with the turtles and then some random dude who was for some reason wandering the sewers picked him up (and not the turtles oddly enough) and made him a thug'
Seemed tacked on.

It seems the humans turn mutant wear clothes more than the animals turn mutant (except for Rahzar and Fishface), so perhaps Mondo will start out as a human.

I'm SO happy Leatherhead is back!

I feel like the season finale is going to make the wait for season 3 almost unbearable! BUT I'M SO EXCITED!

[THGhost]

Oh my, that trailer...

Donnie yelling, "my baby!" Something happens to April? His lab? The Shellraiser? The latter would explain why they're driving that van instead.

And Gilbert Gottfried as a Kraang!

So cool! Didn't expect to see them.

[evan2000]

[MiBs]

I hope that someone filmed the panel ------> Youtube :tgrin:

[drgon78]

I hope so as well.

Have they still not given a date for the last four episodes?

[MiBs]

I hope so as well.

Have they still not given a date for the last four episodes?

I think they said at the panel, that the show will return in september, but I'm not sure if there's an exact date yet

[BubblyShell22]

Well, did they say that season 2 will air in September or do they mean season 3? Because from what I've read from others, they just said that the last few episodes are "coming up" and to me that means that they'll be coming up soon such as in August while season 3 may premiere in September. Makes sense in a way, and I hope this is the case.

I'm quite sure S3 will start in october.

[Raptor86]

I really like this version of Mondo Gecko, I actually prefer it to te OT one. It looks like a gecko now, and not like a random lizard.

I hope it won't be spoiled by playmates as an action figure...

[NinjaPug]

A blog I was following during the panel said the final episodes of S2 would air on Friday nights in September.

[fridaynightdestination]

Can someone give me the quick rundown of what they announced at SDCC? All I heard was Donnie is gonna step in as leader (awesome) and Mikey is gonna get stuck in Dimension X (awesome, not for him though lol) I don't even know if those two are true. So what happened?

[NinjaPug]

Read this thread. Everything that was announced is in here.

[fridaynightdestination]

Yeah, read all the replies of 9 pages. I'd rather not.

[Vicky82]

Ok here's the rundown of the upcoming episodes and new characters from the panel.

I found this on Tumblr and i'll put under spoilers.

http://half-shell-lass.tumblr.com/post/93012153696

Hi guys I have so far posted everything I’ve personally seen concerning the SDCC Nick TMNT panel but I will now, as promised, compile what I’ve learnt so far. Obviously I wasn’t there so if I miss anything or details are incorrect I apologise. Let me know ASAP and I will try and rectify. There is a LOT to get through. Hope you’re sitting comfortably.

Word on the street is that we will get these in September. I’m guessing they want to avoid the initial kerfuffle when the film hits in August, but still strike while the iron is hot and the franchise is in everybodys’ minds.

Important points

Possible Season 3 Episodes
#1 - Within The Woods
#15 - The Noxious Avenger

- Kraang invasion and it’s on a WAY bigger scale than the end of season one.
-Gilbert Gottfried is voicing ‘a’ Kraang. (Iago from Aladdin btw)
- The turtles WILL leave New York.
- The lair is infiltrated by the Kraang using Dimension portals so the early warning system in the sewers has no chance to kick in.
- Splinter is captured and sacrifices his freedom to allow April and the turtles to escape. I believe Raph is not in the lair at this point, you don’t see him on the footage and he is probably ‘up top’ with Casey.
- One of Donnie’s inventions looks set to be destroyed. Seeing as we later see the ‘party wagon’, some have suggested the Shellraise is blitzed/attacked, rendering it out of action.
- But we do see a fully realised Turtle Mecha that Donnie drew in Plan 10.
- Tea party girl returns and is seen in the arms of the pizza delivery boy, who is trying to protect her during the invasion. Pizza boy may possibly become Mondo Gecko, who will be voiced by Robbie Rist. Pre-production artwork shown has a production code of 317, so if we don’t see him before, he arrives mid to late season 3 (episode 17).

http://i.toynewsi.com/g/generated/2014_San_Diego_Comic_Con/TMNT_Animated_Series/IMG_1214__scaled_800.jpg

- More fighting between Shredder and Splinter but out in the open New York streets, in daylight.
- The Leonardo ‘one-shot’ from Mirage is happening. We don’t know if it’s fully or partly but there dedicate a good section of the trailer to it so it is playing a major part. Leo and Donnie clash over how to take on the Kraang invasion and Leo is seperated from the guys. He will be put out of action by Team Shredder and Donatello is forced to stand up as leader of the team.
- Leatherhead returns and has to duel Shredder.
- We have a new villain appearing in season three called Creep and he may well appear in the first episode because the production code for the artwork seen at gallery nucleus’ TMNT art exhibit says 301. He attacks April and Casey ‘in the woods’ so they will be all out of the city at this point.

http://i.toynewsi.com/g/generated/2014_San_Diego_Comic_Con/TMNT_Animated_Series/IMG_1202__scaled_800.jpg

- Muckman is returning to the show and a character called Joe Eyeball. Again, production code is 315, so mid season, episode 15ish, is when they will possibly show up.

http://i.toynewsi.com/g/generated/2014_San_Diego_Comic_Con/TMNT_Animated_Series/IMG_1220__scaled_800.jpg

- There are new characters called the Dream Beavers. I don’t know if they’re villains/allies but they look creepy. They will be voiced by Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger) and John Kassir (the Crypt Keeper). I imagine them to be a cross between Sir Malachi, who can create visions and the Squirrelanoids (although one looks like the backwards cousin of a Care Bear…)

http://i.toynewsi.com/g/generated/2014_San_Diego_Comic_Con/TMNT_Animated_Series/IMG_1213__scaled_800.jpg

- Another ‘new’ character is Napoleon Bonafrog, voiced by Napoleon Dynamite actor Jon Heder. I don’t know/think we see the other three frogs though.

http://i.toynewsi.com/g/generated/2014_San_Diego_Comic_Con/TMNT_Animated_Series/IMG_1208__scaled_800.jpg

- At some point Mikey is trapped in Dimension X and his brothers go in to rescue him, only to discover he’s been there for ‘months’? And he’s been surviving either by himself or with the aid of Leatherhead. Apparently time passes differently in Dimension X than it does on earth.
- New toys were revealed including ones of the ‘vision quest turtles’ in the visual history book so I’m guessing that storyline is definitely happening while they’re driven out of New York.
- Nothing, surprisingly, has appeared concerning Karai (or Kiba as snake-Karai may be called).
- Also, although we know that Renae Jacobs (80s cartoon April) is appearing season three, I don’t think her role/character was revealed.

[JTH]

I'm not surprised by the September airing, cause it was either that or finish right before the movie airs, which runs the risk of the show being lost in the shuffle in the TMNT fandom.

Just better to let the movie run it's course first and then pick the show back up.

Plus with New York Comic Con in early October, they can finish Season 2 late September and then jump right into Season 3 and show everything else they want there.

[kelligrafie]

Ok here's the rundown of the upcoming episodes and new characters from the panel.

Edit, updated

[TigerClaw]

I'm curious if they are gonna give Napoleon Bonafrog a southern accent like in the Fred Wolf series?

[Foombamaroom]

What if it's the little girl in Slash and Destroy throwing Leo through the window? XD

[Midnight Mutant]

The reading order is:

- TMNT #10: Silent Partner (http://miragelicensing.com/comics/mirage/ten/cover.htm)

[JTH]

The big question is where's Leo getting thrown into?

Is it possibly April's apartment?

[kelligrafie]

[VaughnMichael]

I'm very heavily reminded of the Terror Bears.

I'd rather see them than those beavers.
Wasted potential again...

Likely Nick doesn't own the Terror Bears.

[VaughnMichael]

Likely Nick doesn't own the Terror Bears.
That's probably the case you're right, just expressing my disappointment.
Just always liked the idea of evil Care Bears.:lol:

[Warhorse]

The big question is where's Leo getting thrown into?

Is it possibly April's apartment?

Good question. It could easily be

April's apartment
Casey's Apartment
The "tea time" girl's apartment (could be a recurring inside joke that whenever Leo is around the little girl, her place gets trashed)
Hell, could even be Erma's for all we know, although I highly doubt it.

Do we know if the Hampton's is just going to be a random place, April's or Casey's?

[Foombamaroom]

The "tea time" girl's apartment (could be a recurring inside joke that whenever Leo is around the little girl, her place gets trashed)

We all know that the tea time girl is the one throwing Leo through the window.

I don't think so. Unlike what trailers usually do to deceive viewers, I think what they showed is what is planned.

I'm pretty sure their reaction is to the Kraang invading the lair.

[Donatello19]

Yeah, too bad the clips were cut out...hearing the audience's reactions is always my favorite part. Also, will there be a panel at NYCC this year?

Yep, & I was there! :)

They said at the SDCC panel they were saving a bunch of reveals "for New York" so that's confirmation.

Also thought this was kinda neat.

April has some of the pictures that Donnie had in his lab in "Mutagen Man Unleashed". Makes you wonder exactly how many of them she actually knows about. ;)

Yep, & I was there! :)

I might need confirmation on this, didn't NYCC get the first look at the full Season 2 premiere last year about a week before it aired on TV?

[Donatello19]

Oh yeah, I think they did show it! How awesome would it be if they did the S3 premiere there this year?

I would get to see it early! :D

[Warhorse]

I don't think so. Unlike what trailers usually do to deceive viewers, I think what they showed is what is planned.

So, Raph won't be there when they are invading the lair? Is he even going to be at the site where Leo is thrown through the window?

The only photo Donnie has that April probably doesn't know about is the one on his laptop with her eating pizza.

Why don't they just kill Raph off if they're not going to do anything with him. Have him die by saving Mikey or something...it's not like he's being used for anything worth a crud anymore...

it's okay....I'm sure Raph is gonna be doing something awesome! They couldn't say alot because they didn't want to spoiler stuff remember :)

now if I am allowed to rant a little...(don't read if you don't want negativity)
1)...if they shaft Raph and Mikey any more I am probably going to just leave the cartoon.....if they don't show my favorite character shine...then it obviously wasn't made for me. If they want the show to revolve around Donnie and Leo....then leave me outta it.

2)I find it funny that whenever April was mentioned it had to do with some romance stuff....For Karai they talked about other things about her....but for April? "Is Casey or Donnie going to get her!!? we need to find out!! lol!" :roll:

Okay rant over XD had to get that out

Weren't some talking about the fact she was in that Mech with the others?

I meant her role in future episodes...or place on the team....anything she's going to have to face that doesn't involve choosing between 2 boys. :ohwell:

more rant......
honestly...what about people who don't care for the love triangle? What is there to like about April if you don't care for Apriltello/Capril/.....Raphil...or any other ship she has?

I never had such a problem with a main heroine before.....the romance is literally overshadowing her character to the point she MUST interact with Donnie or Casey in any episode she's in.

I meant her role in future episodes...or place on the team....anything she's going to have to face that doesn't involve choosing between 2 boys. :ohwell:

more rant......
honestly...what about people who don't care for the love triangle? What is there to like about April if you don't care for Apriltello/Capril/.....Raphil...or any other ship she has?

I never had such a problem with a main heroine before.....the romance is literally overshadowing her character to the point she MUST interact with Donnie or Casey in any episode she's in.
I agree with you here. I don 't ever see her interact with Mikey, and she almost has a disdain/dislike for Leo and Raph. They definitely need to break out of this mode.

[ssjup81]

Both April and Casey seem to think Mikey is weird. I was also never under the impression that she had a dislike towards any of them. I could see her getting along with Leo ok.

[BabyTurtles]

I agree with you here. I don 't ever see her interact with Mikey, and she almost has a disdain/dislike for Leo and Raph. They definitely need to break out of this mode.

If they simply give her equal time with all the turtles...heck, if they just give her a good amount of time with Raph, Mikey, and Leo.....I would totally, COMPLETELY, be more open to Apriltello/Capril.

but right now I just can't.....I feel that April would be a much stronger character without this romance hanging over her.

[Werecat]

Why don't they just kill Raph off if they're not going to do anything with him. Have him die by saving Mikey or something...it's not like he's being used for anything worth a crud anymore...

Ooo, looks like I am not the only one who noticed how Raph isn't used for anything special for the story's plot. I hope Nick doesn't make Raph into 2k3 Raph, basically making him useless and more of a nuisance to the team. I really loved how the original Raph called 2k3 Raph a sell out in TMNT forever, it made mah day more brighter.

Raphael actually needs character development that matters and is unique. I am so tired of his only character development is to make him a mellowed out wuss. I want the bloodthirsty, berserker Raph!

[Autbot_Benz]

agreed i've noticed Raph isn't getting much airtime as the other turtles in forms of story.

[Leofan26]

Holy crap you guy's are right, I didn't notice Raph not being in the invading scenes or in any of the Leo scenes.

My guess, Raph gets tired too and decides to leave the team to do his own thing with Casey but gets a beat down as seen in the trailer.

I'm sure Raph will get his time soon, for Mikey at least he's got that Dimension X arc to help with his character, I hope the character development sticks though. Will just have to wait for season three to see what happens with them.

In Shredders plot it does seem to be developing a Leo V.S Shredder as it goes on. Too much is going on between them, with the Karai situation and now Leo gets trashed by him. I can't wait till Karai gets involved again, shey'll likley want revenge against both Leo and Shredder for what happened to her, that'd be an insane arc.

In one scene Shredder is behind Leo with no snow, think he offers Leo to join first? He seems intrested when Leo I think that's who it is who saves that girl and guy.

Edit;

Also yah, I wish April interacted with the other turtles more. I had more hope for her other than the love triangle, she's like Asami from Legend of Korra now. If she leaves with them i hope she has more interactions with the others.

[ssjup81]

I noticed the lack of Raph for most of the scenes and clips. I just assumed that he and the others were just separated or just had different tasks to attend to or either Raph left in anger which is why he's not around when the lair is invaded.

That aside, like others, I do wish April would hang with the other turtles more. As I mentioned earlier, both she and Casey seem to think of Mikey as weird, so it doesn't, and wouldn't, surprise me that April doesn't hang around Mikey much. I guess Raph's temperament would clash with hers, but seems she'd get along decently with Leo. I still hate the fact that they didn't show this when she was stuck staying with them. It was glossed over.

That aside, I wonder if April will end up in Dimension X with the others and reveal info about her mother and her tingling mutant sense.

Will Raph get some more development along with Mikey for the Dimension X story? I really hope so, but I'm still looking the most forward to Leo and Donnie clashing.

[Vicky82]

I you look at the trailer, Raph is with Casey up top during the lair invasion.

Someone on Tumblr saw the Dimension X clip at the panel. Someone asked him, how different did Mikey seem.

I'll put under spoilers.

He showed some survival skills,but otherwise he didn’t seem too different. Yet he did also have on twin sashes going across his chest…

Also some others things are that….

1. He figured out to use the crystal like stones as an explosive weapon (these crystals are possibly used as a power cell for the kraang)

2. He actually killed a kraang and wore it so…., maybe ate it too
3. Showed that he is not weak and can survive in his own
4. Showed to have much more strength since he kicked a monster off the side of a cliff.

Mikey seemed the same and yet his skills looked improved The others seemed shocked that he was able to defeat the monster.

Well the law of physics do not apply in dimension x (Raph was able to jump at least 600 ft or more to another platform and Donnie could walk upside down) the turtles had to use breathing tubes (the ones from 2003 turtles when they were with the triceratons). Also there were these ball creatures that attacked the turtles (group of four balls)

[Zulithe]

Sooo does nobody have the SDCC clips shown at the Nick TMNT panel? In previous years they were uploaded without problems.

In fact most of them are STILL on youtube when Nick could easily have had them removed if they cared.

Someone upload them please :(

I also asked 2 questions, I will add to it, if get an answer.i know he was with Casey, which is why I was wondering if he had a task or if he left the lair in a huff and maybe met up with Casey.

That aside, everything under the spoiler doesn't surprise me about Mikey. I always felt that the potential was there (that mutant wasp ep) and that he's capable of having a dark side (Of Mice and Men, Pizzaface). I'm looking forward to it. I also could see Mikey capable of killing an enemy...mainly because I felt he was trying to do so in Wrath of Tigerclaw

BTW, what were the questions you asked?I'm curious as to how much of a difference there is between earth and Dimension X. Like does a day in our world = a week in there's, for example? With the way Tigerclaw was talking you'd think he had been trying to escape Dimension X for years..

I asked what was his personality like and what was the other 3 reactions when they saw him.

This is the guy who saw the clip at the panel.

[BubblyShell22]

Wow. Some awesome stuff for sure. So Splinter gets captured and isn't with them when they escape. If Leo's out of commission, he's going to be so upset to learn Splinter's not with them and possibly blame himself. I have a feeling Leo's going to go through an emotional ringer anyway with being beaten up as he will be.

You aren't allowed to record the clips during the panel. If you try, you'll be told by a staff member to stop. Anything that was recorded from previous years was done so against the rules and you shouldn't set expectations by it.

that doesn't seem that big of a change for someone stranded in dimension X for months.....but I guess I kinda expected that, it's not like they were gonna totally change his attitude....

but just figuring out a new thing....and defeating one monster doesn't seem that much different from normal Mikey. :ohwell:

Watching the trailer, (where Mikey says that the Kraang invasion is no big deal), it doesn't look like Mikey's attitude will change and he still be the fun, loving turtle just probably bit more mature and can focus more.

more carefree...less dumb :)

[Foombamaroom]

I loved Raph 2003 and I agree, he didn't get too many good arcs. I like 2012 Raph, but I've noticed that almost all of his centric episodes are filler with the exception of Slash and Destroy. But do you know what really gets me about this show that I hate?
It's too Donnie centric.
Yes, it's also very Leo centric, but the Leo ones are actually quite interesting, and don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure Leo hasn't had a filler episode yet. Donatello's stories, however, usually revolve around him trying to impress April in some way, shape, or form. That romance has brought the series down.

Less romance more story arc for all the turtles!!

And even though there's supposed to be a love triangle, even that's not played up much, and seems that when it is, it's for a laugh.

It has been downplayed, yes. The biggest problem with season 2 is that the story is SO GOOD but they have way too much filler. But my Donnie-centric statement still stands, and if I'm not mistaken, there's been more Donnie centric episodes than anything else.

I sent the trailer to a fellow tmnt fan and she even noted that Raph doesnt even speak a word in the teaser. As famous as Sean Astin is, why arent they taking advantage of that?

I bet Raph will have a big part in the finale, ESPECIALLY the Leo one-shot. In the comics and the TV series, Raph flipped the f*ck out when he saw Leo like that. They're probably just not showing us too much of Raph because he's in important scenes.

Donnie might beat himself up about Leo's near death experience. Since he's the one who gets into that argument with Leo before Leo runs off.

And would Donnie have enough leadership influence to stop him? It always felt like to me that Raph didn't totally respect Donnie (although I could be wrong) and that he's going to try and push him in ways that he never did with Leo.

[plastroncafe]

Man...that slow-mo of Leo through the window....:(

That'd be a great thing to see happen.

It's such an iconic and painful shot. I CAN'T WAIT.

That couple of second clip was hands down my favorite part of the presentation. Followed closely by the Dream Beavers who are so creeptastic that I seriously want action figures for them.

Badly.

Also one of just plain Karai would be nice too.
Actually...anything MORE to do with the female characters on the show would be nice. Extra bonus points if that anything involves something other than the objectification April and Karai.

On a more positive note, the poster for this year's signing was awesome, and I'm glad I managed to get my hands on one right before the con closed.

I totally agree with you that Raph needs more episodes and character development. I think Turtle Temper, Slash and Destroy and TGtBaCJ were very good episodes....but I want moooore :lol:

But I'm confident that Ciro has a plan, and we will get to the Raph-centric episodes eventually. I think they've done a good job with both Leo and Donnie. In "The ultimate visual history" Brandon Auman is quoted as saying that we will learn where Raph's anger comes from, and why it is related to the scar on his plastron. So that sounds like good stuff

Cripes the paint job on that is rough.

I'm pleased to note, however, that the cheesecake pin-up mutant girl artwork from the video clip is missing from the new battlewagon.

I'm sure Nick will release it soon, but yeah...we saw rough animation for the Dream Beaver episode at the panel.

And that episode about the scar and his anger sounds great. That's something I'm really interested to see.

haha, I was just to lazy to write it all. Yes, the things Auman talks about sounds extremely exciting. I really hope that they will focus as much on Raph later on as they have on Leo and Donnie (not that he should steal the spotlight entially, just a bit more than in season 1 and 2) and explore the character more, because there's so much potential. I really really like the Nick version of Raphael.

I'm a little disappointed though that he and Slash are on good terms already, I would've loved to see more of Slash taunting Raph about the things he have said his brothers

In hope you're right. I want to see a pissed off Raph beat the hell out of some Foot, and lately, I have not been getting that. It's probably why the show is boring to me right now.

Donnie might beat himself up about Leo's near death experience. Since he's the one who gets into that argument with Leo before Leo runs off.

See, this pisses me off. So they are taking a character arc that is supposed to belong to Raph, and they give it to Donnie. I am really starting to actually hate Donnie because of all of the character developments/episodes focus/scene stealing sh!t that is being shoved down our throats. He's got his freaking arcs, the science, the April thing, the mutagen, Mutagen Man. Damn, leave some stuff for Raph and Mikey. 2k3 may have had it's boner for Leo, but damn, I think the hard on for Donnie and the Nick show is topping it, and season 2 isn't even finished yet.

:D You did better than me. I just got home from work, and am super excited after seeing the new Hobbit trailer, so I was in no mood to try and decipher internet code. Glad you did it for me. Usually though, I still call it the Meet Casey Jones ep, most people will understand.

Hon, if it don't have Raphael being an absolute badass, the episode is boring for me. And mind you, the last few episodes I seen, they barely shown him, or it was just for laughs like when he switched minds with a Krang. I didn't care for that one much.

Ok, he doesn't need to be a complete badass, but I would like to see less bullying by him towards his brothers, and more of the Raphael who will defend his brothers to the end. I liked the moments when he gave Mikey his pep talk after Bradford ended up being a dick, or Raph getting up and dragging Donnie away when he was making a fool of himself in front of April.

Cheesus Cheddar, I couldn't agree more. The 2003 show had it's hard on for Leo but the arcs were VERY interesting and they didn't replace the other characters, not to mention the amount of character development they gave Leo. Donnie is my least favorite Turtle in this series because HE'S TAKING OTHER ARCS that aren't even good. He's got more arcs than any other Turtle in this show and it gets so damn annoying. At least Leo's arcs are quite decent and improve on the story and develop Leo's character. That's another thing, Donnie has ENOUGH development and they just keep adding and adding and it's such an overkill. You've got Mikey who needs more development, and hell, SHREDDER needs some development. I get that Donnie's a really useful member to the team, but there's only so much of Donnie I can handle.

Exactly. I'm all onboard with the annoyance that Raph doesn't get as much attention as Leo and Don. But when they make episodes like that, it makes up for it

I don't care about Leo getting episodes since his actually gives development and impacts the plot, but CUT BACK ON DONNIE FOR GOD'S SAKE.
Yeah, those two are my favorite episodes. Ever.
