Favorite alien race in TMNT history?

[CyberCubed]

Of all the notable alien races in TMNT which do you like most?

Of all the notable alien races in TMNT which do you like most? Wait for poll

I don't know who this Poll person is, but I don't see why we have to wait on her.

The six alien invasion episodes from the third season of the 4Kids series makes this a pretty easy choice for me. I also really liked the batmen from the original cartoon and the rock soldiers as well. Though it was once implied that they were actually mutants, otherwise the rock soldiers would be right there.

[Parabellum]

Definately the Triceratons.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

It was a toss-up between Utroms and Neutrinos, but I went with the Utroms. That race really can open up so many doors that the others can't. (Except maybe the Triceratons.) I even sort of include Krang himself in with them, so that means the dimensional portal he used in OT could bring in all the rest, in theory. (Since he technically existed as an Utrom in 4Kids.) Plus- without the Utroms, we wouldn't even have some of the most iconic characters like Leatherhead, and apparently, even the turtles themselves!

[pennydreadful]

Triceratons, without a doubt.

[Slade]

None..........

[Casey]

I voted for the Triceratons and even more so since their newly explained IDW origin, but I really like the Utroms in Vol. 4.

[Shark_Blade]

Only Kraang.

[pingclang]

Triceratons.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Triceratons.

[Kanon]

Utroms
cause they are friendly (except one :P) and I just like them a little bit more then the others.

[Prowler]

Honestly, I don't really have a favorite. Don't feel strongly about any of them.

Also, I've always wondered why they decided to make the Federation look exactly like humans. Even though they are aliens, they look exactly like Earthlings.

[The Fifth Turtle]

Triceratops are the bee's knees.

[Jester]

Triceratons no contest.

[CyberCubed]

Triceratons winning this poll by a landslide of 24 votes, and people say they're not popular?

[Cipher]

Utroms, being one of the linchpins of the franchise's weirdness. Especially in Mirage.

[Warboss74]

Even though it's not an option, I've always been intrigued by Jhanna's race. There's not much we're told outside of democratically elected rulers have to fight the previous ruler to actually come to power. I think there's plenty of questions that come up that could lead to an interesting alien race when it's all fleshed out.

For the poll, I think I'll have to go with Triceratons just because they're more fleshed out as a species.

So now that I've read the Fugitoid, it seems like the Federation are just aliens by retcon. I mean even though Honeycutt and Blanque sounds like pretty human names I could by that they're aliens because they're not that common names but then there's a guy named Johnson...

I know that the Fugitoid was originally meant to be a self contained story not connected to TMNT but it does seem pretty hard to explain why there's an alien named Johnson.

[Netkeeper]

Triceratons, but not for the same reasons as most of you.

I like both Utroms and Triceratons but I'm going to say Utroms.

[arkangel]

Triceratons. There's been a lot of cool species introduced in the original Mirage run, but the space-faring dinosaur dudes are my favorite.

[Turo602]

I only know Utroms from the 2k3 series so they get my vote because I found them to be the most fleshed out. While I find the Triceratons iconic to this franchise, they're nothing more than an enemy faction to me, just like the Foot, the Purple Dragons, and so on. The Utroms had more mystery surrounding them, cool technology, and a story that connected to the greater picture of the 2k3 series with a great build up at that.

[Davetello]

The utroms. I love the triceratons too but the utroms are the key to the boys' entire origin.

[thebrownranger]

As far as looks go, Triceratons because they just look badass.

As far as story goes, definitely the Utroms. Love how they're story is intertwined with the turtles origin (Mirage & 2k3). Although, I do love how the Utroms look too.

[neatoman]

Any updates to this?

[CyberCubed]

Updates? Not counting one-off alien races or background character designs, only thing I left out of the poll is insectoid species (like Lord Dregg or Maligna's bugs) or stuff like that.

[ToTheNines]

Favorite race? Very problematic thread.

[Poweranimals]

Aren't Utroms and Kraang basically the same thing?

[neatoman]

Aren't Utroms and Kraang basically the same thing?
Yeah, that's an obviously outdated option by now. Even if they hadn't revealed the Kraang were nothing more than brainwashed Utroms, they would still just have been the show's reimagined version of the Utroms.
