Will IDW be there with a panel or exclusive information to drop there?All hail Tom Waltz!

[CyberCubed]

Since we've already seen clips of Fugitoid and the Triceratons, I'd prefer if we got something new.

Really curious to see how Lord Dregg looks like animated.

[TurFlytle]

Really curious to see how Lord Dregg looks like animated.

Well, Black Nerd said there's bugs moving inside his body. So, imagine him to look like body horror.

[matteso586]

If they have time for a Q&A session, I'd ask a few things.

1) How does Subprime keep surviving?
2) Speaking of Subprime, will we see what gave him the cybernetic implants?
3) Does Rockwell remember anything from before The Kraang's failed experiment on him? For example, beating up Donatello.
4) Do you have plans on curing Timothy?
5) Is Rat King dead, or alive?

4) Do you have plans on curing Timothy?
5) Is Rat King dead, or alive?

I'd ask them:

1) Is there a real Irma?
2) Will Vic, et al, be cured?
3) Was Ace Duck just a joke?
4) Could Casey be Mutated, too?

[Ninturtle]

I'd ask them:

1) Is there a real Irma?
2) Will Vic, et al, be cured?
3) Was Ace Duck just a joke?
4) Could Casey be Mutated, too?

1) Brandon Aumon said there is no real Irma.

[TurFlytle]

I'd ask them:

1) Is there a real Irma?
2) Will Vic, et al, be cured?
3.)Was Ace Duck just a joke?
4) Could Casey be Mutated, too?

1.) Oh my god... THERE IS NO REAL IRMA. Irma was only in the 87 series (and Archie) and was just a useless character with little to no character development. Just having a real Irma is just kind of stupid. That would be their way of saying, "hey we're lazy and reusing a character model."

2.) Why Vic? Out of all the innocent mutants, you chose him? Why not mutagen man?

3.) Yes, obviously. They wouldn't wait for 2 seasons to end a joke with a very long pause.

4.) PLEASE NO. We don't need ANOTHER MUTANT. (Which is ironically Casey's catchphrase more oftenly said than Goongala at this point)

[lonewarrior20]

i'm wondering if they'll suddenly decide to go on hiatus again until after the cons over.

[ssjup81]

I'd ask...

1). Where the heck is April's real mother? Do you plan on addressing that elephant?

2). What was Yoshi and Tang's status when she was killed? Were they married? The Yokai ep gave me the impression that they weren't since Saki seemed to think he still actually had a chance with her, despite her having a child with Yoshi.

3). Will Tigerclaw's backstory ever be revisited or explained why he follows Shredder with such loyalty? What does Saki have on him?

4). Do you plan to demutate any of Shredder's henchmutants?

5). Will we ever get a set or models for Casey's family or home?

6). Timothy....will he ever be cured?

7). Will you ever bring Renet back?

8). Will they have a cartoon to watch in season 4 and will it be similar to the Lost in Space cartoon from 1973 that only had like a pilot? lol. Or intergalactic wrestling?

9). What happened to the Cokroach Terminator and the Sqirrelanoids?

Those are some I'd ask.

[victory_angel]

1) How does Subprime keep surviving?

Reasons...and cartoon logic

2) Speaking of Subprime, will we see what gave him the cybernetic implants?

It is possible we may learn about more about his character and how he got his scars. After all if there is a reason to bring back a character they will do so.


3) Does Rockwell remember anything from before The Kraang's failed experiment on him? For example, beating up Donatello.

Highly likely, but I don't think the moment will be really brought up. After all Rockwell is more or less the Nick equivalent to Harold Lillja from the IDW http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/tmnt/images/c/cb/Donatello17.jpg
So yes they will admit they each have their uses, but encounters can also boil down to intellectual pissing contests.

4) Do you have plans on curing Timothy?

I think they've had their chance at curing Timothy in the Nick show. In Lonely Mutation, Donnie made only two vile of the Retromutagen. One for Kirby and one for Splinter. Kirby was a more urgent case, and Splinter because Donnie has likely heard Splinter mourning his lost humanity more then once. So it would be like him to desire to grant Splinter his humanity back. And if things had gone as planned with Kirby, it is likely that Splinter may have refused the Retromutagen so it would have gone to Timothy by default.

And with the Invasion and Karai, and all the else that is going on. They are putting Mutagen Man consistently on the back burner. But the mentality is that he's not going to thaw out anytime soon so he can wait.

However I heard it said that not all mutations are going to have happy endings, and at this point I think Mutagen Man is being set up to be one of those characters who isn't going to be restored.

Since the show seems to be exploring Donnie as a pacifist, they are likely to have this be a situation that brings that side of Donnie's character. However that can be done in two ways.

The first way is Timmy is thawed out but he wants revenge against Donnie for betraying him. Eventually forcing Donnie into a situation where he has to destroy Timothy to save his family or even himself from Timothy.

The second option is the same as above but instead of killing Timothy, Donnie uses the retromutagen on him. Unfortunately the Retromutagen violently reacts with the Mutagen that makes up Tim's body resulting in Mutagen Man's death.

5) Is Rat King dead, or alive?

There is a likely hood of death, but if there is a reason to bring back a character they will do so.


Will you ever bring Renet back?


It's likely she will return as will Savanti. Often with Savanti Romero he is first sent to 15th century England, lifetime sentence to the year 1406 to be exact. Though in this case it's 10th century England.

Then the second encounter with Savanti Romero he is trapped in the Cretaceous period. Which hopefully also will be in this incarnation as well.

[Ninjinister]

Will there be Batman?

[matteso586]

Will there be Batman?

I think they planned to. Ever heard of the scrapped character, Wingnut?

[miru]

1.) Oh my god... THERE IS NO REAL IRMA. Irma was only in the 87 series (and Archie) and was just a useless character with little to no character development. Just having a real Irma is just kind of stupid. That would be their way of saying, "hey we're lazy and reusing a character model."

2.) Why Vic? Out of all the innocent mutants, you chose him? Why not mutagen man?

3.) Yes, obviously. They wouldn't wait for 2 seasons to end a joke with a very long pause.

4.) PLEASE NO. We don't need ANOTHER MUTANT. (Which is ironically Casey's catchphrase more oftenly said than Goongala at this point)

1) Alright, with Renet and Mona Lisa being added, and Ninjara likely being around the corner, I'm ready to mostly bury the Irma hatchet. I just wanted to make sure. I'd also ask about Pizzaface, due to the dream-like tone of his episode.

2) Someone already asked about Timothy. I just want to get rid of all those filler mutant characters.

3) Okay.

4) I really hope so. To Karai, I say "get well soon".

[QUOTE]

I bet Subprime describes the incident that gave him the scars as "one rotten day".

I rewatched Pizzaface pretty recently, and pizza face says that everyone will forget what happened the next day....and that's what happened. He was also shown under the bed, AND again in the Meet Mondo Gecko Episode.

So i think it's safe to assume he was real, not just a dream

[Candy Kappa]

1.)"hey we're lazy and reusing a character model."

As if that ever stopped them before, like the Ivory & Ebony cop twins :lol:

But in all seriousness it's a waste off good cgi model by not using her in one way or the other.

[Ninjinister]

Ninjara likely being around the corner

You made this up didn't you?

[CyberCubed]

I wonder if Ciro will use that Wingnut/Screwloose sketch he revealed a while ago. Since they're aliens from Dimension X it would make sense for them to appear in a filler while they're in space.

[miru]

You made this up didn't you?

I'm simply guessing. Given both Mona Lisa and Armaggon are appearing (even Dregg).

[matteso586]

I wonder if Ciro will use that Wingnut/Screwloose sketch he revealed a while ago. Since they're aliens from Dimension X it would make sense for them to appear in a filler while they're in space.

Even if that happens, Kevin Conroy could be the one voicing Wingnut.

[Ninjinister]

I think they planned to. Ever heard of the scrapped character, Wingnut?

I said BATMAN.

Not alien Batman parody.

[CyberCubed]

Ugh, I'm going, but not on Thursday or Friday. :( Oh well...

No s**t, I can read.

So why are you talking about Batman?

[Aaronardo]

What? You don't want to see Batman in the Nick series?

[Ninjinister]

This right here is what I'm getting at. Thank you.

WYRM!

WYRRMMMMMMMMMM!

BEST NEWS EVER HOLY CRAP

I am excited!

& it's really cool to see that the OT crossover translates to the old gang coming into the new one's world, in CGI. That's sick.

[Etsyturtle2]

I wanna see nick turtles in the ot animated universe.

[Etsyturtle2]

Isn't pat fraley (original Krang) "passed"... Okay, is he dead?

[TurFlytle]

Isn't pat fraley (original Krang) "passed"... Okay, is he dead?

No, still alive.

[snake]

So happy about wyrm. Not as many reveals as last year but still pretty awesome.

[BubblyShell22]

Pretty cool reveals here. So awesome to hear about Wyrm being confirmed as well as the OT crossover. This is shaping up to be an awesome season.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

They managed to make Wyrm look pretty cool. Already liking this design.

[ssjup81]

Isn't pat fraley (original Krang) "passed"... Okay, is he dead?James Avery has passed...OT Shredder. It's nice that they've managed to bring back the older voice actors.

[ranger_scout]

James Avery has passed...OT Shredder. It's nice that they've managed to bring back the older voice actors.

If we see the original Shredder I wonder if they will get either Townsend Coleman or Jim Cummings to voice him.

[TurFlytle]

this one shows the Season 4 sneak peak.

[NinjaPug]

Some good stuff in that panel. The best part is that it looks like we're getting a Turtles Forever-esque episode with the 80s Turtles and the Mirage Turtles showing up. Really love that we're getting the original Krang in this and that he's voiced by Fraley again.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Wait, so that's not just Krang's android body making an appearance, it's...it's literally THE Krang from the OT?! Has this been confirmed or is it just speculation? Also, where in that video would one skip to if one just wanted to take a sneak peek at the OT Turtles in their CG form?

[TigerClaw]

Go to the 18:20 mark of the video, Is when they show the Sneak Peak stuff.
They show the first clip which features Mona Lisa.

[Gyt Kaliba]

Many thanks, TigerClaw. Oh man...I was actually kind of hoping for a finished (or at least close too) clip there, but even just seeing the animatic...I'm fanboying so hard right now.

I mean, the OT hasn't aged well, but it's always - ALWAYS - going to hold a special place in my heart for being where I first got introduced to the Turtles, as well as being one of my earliest obsessions as a child. So to get to see them yet again in another newer production - it's on part to how I felt when Forever was first announced, though I'm obviously not expecting anything nearly as grandiose as that out of this episode.

It definitely sounds like Cam Clarke and Barry Gordan are back in the swing of things too, more so than they were in the previous cameo, which really is pleasing to hear. I dunno what it was, but there was just something off with them in the previous cameo (not sure in the case of Cam since I'm pretty sure he still does voice-over, but Barry's at least semi-retired I believe, so that explains that), so hearing them even closer to how they originally were...I'm rambling, but this is just, really really exciting for me right now!

Ironically, I just finished getting in the last season of the OT series I needed too, and I'm slowly beginning my watch through of it (already finished 'Season One' last Sunday), so this definitely comes in a timely manner for me too. Woot!

[Alph_shinn]

I heard from my friend Season 4 had change the total episode from 20 to 26, is it real?

[LeotheLateBloomer]

That has to be a treat for Andre to get a season premiere on his birthday.

That aside, I like the design of Wyrm and the highlight for me was the OT meeting. As much as I tire of seeing their faces on most merchandise, the animatic excited me. I'd imagine the Nick turtles will probably look more like their 2D promotional artwork in the OT universe. Cam and especially, Barry have noticebly aged since their voices fluctuated but it happens sometimes when you get older. Townsend's still got it though. Rob's Raphael sounds the same though his last few words made him sound a little too similar to his Donnie voice whenever he is irritated. It's like when OT Raph shouted at his counterpart, Rob went from his Raph voice and slipped into his Don voice.

Also, Mona Lisa was great in that clip!

Can't wait for Season 4.:D

[ssjup81]

How old is Andre anyway?

[Commenter 42]

How old is Andre anyway?

63, give or take.

[TheJ-manTurtleMan]

I hope the 2D animation is better than what we saw in Wormquake.

[atreyu2112]

My 2 cents.. The panel was great! The episode was a lot of fun. The Fugitoid does something in the episode which negates the whole destruction of Earth... kind of. I dont want to spoil because it gives away what season 4 looks to be all about. Oh, PS... April is in her 80s yellow jumpsuit!!!! Yes, Kraang from OT in his body... looked GREAT! He's Kraang Sub-Prime's cousin, lol. The 2D clip they showed of the cross-over was all storyboard. Voice acting was recorded and it was damn cool to hear the original cast, but we weren't shown any finalized animation. Mona Lisa was badass. Most everything else was discussed here.

The 5:30 signing at the IDW Booth had Ciro, Brandon, Rob, Greg & Eric only. It was my first time meeting them and I must say all were very cool, but Rob & Greg we're extra special to meet! Had a really nice conversation with Rob for a bit that made my day, and Greg recorded a video message for my son (who was home at school, he's 11) full Mikey... so awesome.

They gave out another re-imagined Mirage cover in Nick style, both for the signing then later at the Nick booth... the one with them fighting the Triceraton (issue 6 I think). I'll post a pic a little later.

It's okay as long as you post it in spoiler tags. I bet it has to do with time travel or something like that.

Is the Triceraton shirtless like in Mirage or is it just like a normal clothed Triceraton?

[neatoman]

I hope the 2D animation is better than what we saw in Wormquake.

Well they did say "just like 1989", so it's probably going to be full of animation errors and bad perspective.

*edit* - Appears this was also the SDCC poster. New to me though and I love it!

Be WARNED, this is what happened during S4, E1
Fugitoid warps them back in time 6 months prior to Splinter getting killed/Earth sucked into black hole. It's the last time he can time travel. He explains that the Triceraton weapon was split into 3 pieces by the Utroms and hidden throughout the galaxy and that their mission would be to prevent the Triceratons from finding them so that the earth could be saved. Their ship is then hit with an asteroid, and after a brief space walk to determine damage they have to set down somewhere to get parts & fix the ship. Where they go is very much like Moss Eisley in Star Wars, full of villainy and scum (but not a desert). After touching down to fix the ship and the Turtles/April/Casey fleeing from pissing nearly every alien they met there off, Fugitoid gets them back into space where they are chased by this bug alien wasp dude, a quick fight, Fugitoid jumps/warps them to flee the battle but right into the heart of the Triceraton Empire Fleet... the end, lol

Your joking about 1987 Krang being Sub-Subprime's cousin, are you

[neatoman]

Your joking about 1987 Krang being Sub-Subprime's cousin, are you

Well they did say exactly that at the panel, I think it's a joke but it's possible it isn't. It would be pretty amusing if that turned out to be the case.

[Zany Orange Dude]

Really curious and excited about this OT crossover! Glad to hear they are getting the original voice actors!

[TurtleTitan97]

Really curious and excited about this OT crossover! Glad to hear they are getting the original voice actors!

You and me both!

Isn't pat fraley (original Krang) "passed"... Okay, is he dead?

If he were, that would make these workshop invites I get from him every week VERY creepy.

[ranger_scout]

I don't know if this has been posted or not, but here is an interview that Seth Green did yesterday.

2QRL7wRicgg

[CyberCubed]

The Nick Turtles in 2D will look exactly like they do in the Nick comics from IDW. I bet they'll have the same designs.

[Bry]

That crossover. Oh man.

I'm not expecting to see the 2003 Turtles or anything, but a sly reference to Turtles Forever would be fantastic. Considering the '87 Turtles were the ones to seek out the Nick Turtles, I'd think that would suggest they're already familiar with this sort of thing. So hopefully TF doesn't get contradicted, at least?

And hey -- the old cast sounds great. Some of them seemed a tiny bit "off" in the last cameo, but this sounds just like old times. :tsmile:

[SKX31]

The Nick Turtles in 2D will look exactly like they do in the Nick comics from IDW. I bet they'll have the same designs.

If that happens, then that's a bummer really IMHO. Doesn't it take away a little of the uniqueness Nick was going for in the first place? Or am I completely misinterpreting it all?

Aside from that, I'm hoping for some serious twists with the OT crossover. I'm talking on the "The Kraang are a fusion of Krang's and Ch'rell's DNA."* level.

*(I'm never expecting that to actually happen. I'm just using that as an example)

[newhire13]

I dig the idea that because the Kraang can enter in and out of dimensions they can live in different realities, including the OT.

[matteso586]

Really curious and excited about this OT crossover! Glad to hear they are getting the original voice actors!

Well, that obviously means even Renae Jacobs, Jennifer Darling (probably), and Jim Cummings. And 1987 April might have a different tone of voice than Mrs. O'Neil.

[CyberCubed]

If that happens, then that's a bummer really IMHO. Doesn't it take away a little of the uniqueness Nick was going for in the first place? Or am I completely misinterpreting it all?
)

Uh, what? The Nick Turtles will be 2D when traveling to the 80's universe, and then when the original Turtles go to the Nick universe they'll be in CG.

We'll be seeing both Turtle universes in 2D and CG.

[TurFlytle]

The crossover clip begins in the first minute of the episode. It must be a two parter. They can't just have the turtles transport to the 80s universe in the span of one minute. Plus, after 80s Leo says the line at the end, it must be the part where the theme plays.

[CyberCubed]

The crossover is a 1 hour event similar to the season finale's.

I'm meaning the part about the Nick turtles looking like the IDW turtles when in the 80s universe. Should've clarified, but still.

[Chaotix12345]

Cubed meant the Nick Turtles would look similar to the way they look in IDW's New Animated Adventures and Amazing Adventures books (Which are books set in the Nick universe), not that they'd look like the Turtles from IDW's main series.

2D Nick Turtles will likely look like their comic counterparts:

I bet the crossover episode will be the mid season finale, they usually have an hour long special for that.

Turtles Forever was 1 hour, that's enough time for a story.

I agree with your idea of 2 hours min!:)

also, one cannot forget that if the nick staff says it will be a one hour special, that really isn't correct.
what we are getting all the time is a double episode so to speak, consisting of two 23 min eps....;;(

You do realize commercials are factored into that hour, right?

[Ninturtle]

Yeah , that's why he said two 23 minute episodes.

For those who attended Comic Con, what changes were made to the intro besides the space turtles?

[ssjup81]

Oh yeah, also to those who went and saw the ep, did it begin right where season 3 left off?

He's a really personable guy who is also a TMNT fan and he's actually really good at moderating the panels. Way better than having the Nick VP up there yet again (cool guy, but still a corporate suit).

I agree, I've had the pleasure of meeting him once and he was very friendly and easy to talk to. I hope he keeps doing them, really lucky guy!

[PangolinFeets]

Also he does a good job. Hosting gigantic panels and keeping things fun and moving along isn't something a lot of people can do well.

[ssjup81]

Read the spoiler in my last post. :twink:Here's the thing, though. I don't want to know anything else about the episode. I usually avoid spoilers about what happens in episodes. I just want to know this one specific thing. Does it continue exactly where season 3 left off or will time have gone by like with the start of season 3 following season 2's finale?

[Powder]

The only other person I can think of is Michelle Ivey from Cowabunga Corner but she's probably busy right now.

[ssjup81]

The only other person I can think of is Michelle Ivey from Cowabunga Corner but she's probably busy right now.I met her a few years ago at NYCC, but didn't know her yet until after the fact. lol I was so impressed with her Turtles stuff, I asked to take her photo. It hit me it was her after I returned to Virginia. lol

[MikeandRaph87]

I dont think Ivey could do better at hosting the panel. Andre I believe can naturally reach more people. Its better than a Nick suit. However, I believe a man named Kevin McGill is the best choice for such a job. Who else is a people person with such knowledge, charisma, and passion for the franchise?

[ToTheNines]

I don't give a **** who moderates any panel.

[CyberCubed]

I just can't believe these youtube people are becoming famous and making millions of dollars. Did you guys hear about that youtube guy who plays Minecraft all day just bought a $4.5 million dollar mansion, and he's only 23 years old?

Let alone Pewdewpie and others. Goddamn, who knew you could get rich off of youtube? If I knew this I would have tried it myself a decade ago.

[ToTheNines]

No one likes you though.

[CyberCubed]

Nobody knows what kind of youtube content I would have made, but its too late for me to attempt now. This is something people do in their early 20's when they have too much free time on their hands and don't have huge jobs.

There's a reason why all these youtube people started in their late teens or early 20's. You don't really see too many fully grown adults doing this stuff unless they work for professional website.

It's never too late to start. Nintendocaprisun started LPing in his early thirties. If you're still young, just go for it.

Personally, while I appreciate and respect everything Michelle Ivey has done for the franchise, I think Andre has stepped up and has become the main Turtle fan as of late. I would much rather hear what he has to say about all things TMNT than her.

There are SOME pretty old people who are popular and get free stuff and money off youtube.

He means a funny and popular tmnt fan who reviews and comments and geeks out over tmnt. Anyway not many tmnt fans have big popular channels.

[TigerClaw]

Yeah, there are youtubers who are in there 40s whose channels are popular.

How has he "stepped up"? He's a professional geek. It's literally his paying job to be or seem passionate about cartoons. If he's the "main turtle fan" it's only because of attention he gets, not how driven or knowledgeable he is when it comes to the franchise. & as far as I know, he's not even into all of the TMNT iterations, just the OT & Nick series. Why would you rather hear him speak on turtles than Ivey when his knowledge is limited & hers so vast? I'm not lobbying for Michelle to be a moderator, but as someone who has hung out with her a couple of times I can tell you she is just chock-full of info that even the most hardcore fans don't always know. That makes her output interesting & educational, whereas with Andre, you'd likely only be relating to one another, rather than learning something new.

They fill different niches in the fandom. Michelle is extremely knowledgeable, but how would she fair running a panel of hundreds of people and a slew of celebrities? Andre appears extremely comfortable in front of an audience. He doesn't look nervous, he doesn't stumble over his speech, and he has a fun add-libbed side-commentary. And he's well-known and liked among fans of the show. He's a perfect choice.
If there was a history of turtles panel or some kind of big fan meeting, I'd expect her to be involved somehow.

[Ursalink]

Honestly, if there's really going to be a crossover between the current series, the 80's series and even the Mirage Turtles (like in "Turtles Forever"), I believe the turtles from the 2003's series should appear here too. It could work as a sequel of "Turtles Forever", and we could have 16 turtles in total. I would really like to see the Utrom Shredder back as the ultimate enemy of every turtle in the multiverse.

By the way, if "Turtles Forever" is going to be cannon to this story, then I believe the 80's Technodrome should appear with his "upgraded" look from "Turtles Forever", combined with Utrom Technology. After all, that makes it quite similar to the Technodromes the current series, created by the Kraangs.

Imo, she seems to be a little more akward and pretty geeky when it comes to speaking in front of an audience. Andre seems to try to be funny and cool and doesn't spew off facts every ten seconds. Also he's no hoarder. Kinda Like some
One I know whose room is designed to look like the sewer lair.

I forget something. The reaction of the 2012's turtles seeing their 80's counterparts is stupid. I mean, they can't remember they saw them before in the Wormquake's special, when they were exploring the Kraang's dimensional tunnels?

Not arguing any of that, I did say I wasn't lobbying for her to be a moderator (or panel host, whatever you crazy kids call it). I like Andre, he's cool, he does a great job, he's a genuine fan, etc, but he's not the face of the TMNT fandom or anything. The guy said "I think Andre has stepped up and has become the main Turtle fan as of late. I would much rather hear what he has to say about all things TMNT than her." & I felt otherwise, yo, never said he wasn't a good choice.

I am wondering where the crossover episode will fit into the continuity of the original series. I wonder if there will be any indicators as to where we can fit it in within the overall chronology of the OT show?
