Do you guys think the new show will crossover with the 2012 series?

[Leofan26]

There two completely different shows but I'd be curious at the same time how things would work. I mean 2012 Leo was so serious by the end of the series so. If done right I could see 2012 Leo try to teach Leo of the new show a few pointers on how to be a leader and why he should become one.

What do you guys think?

So far they have just confirmed characters popping up through different dimensions so they'd see Leo leading in any prev incarnation, if they use them.
As far as using 2012, well, its theirs for a start but it depends if they want it to stay gone or not, maybe feel like being nice to those of us who would like to see them :)

I've said this before, it shouldn't be a concern at this point.

[IndigoErth]

It wouldn't surprise me, esp as 2012 already has a 2D cartoon design.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

I think it will be either Risex2012 or crossing over with the 80s toon again.

or both in a three way crossover, if the team is super dedicated.

[Coola Yagami]

I wonder how that will work. All 3 previous versions are slow in their own ways. They wouldn't be able to mesh well with the intense speed of this one.

Maybe they'll just pull a Forever Red and have a quick scene where all TMNT incarnations charge in to attack.

[drag0nfeathers]

It's way too soon I think to be talking about crossovers, but if anything they will crossover with the 80s cartoon first if any at all.

[Technogeek29]

Could we at least wait until season 2 before we start talking about this?

[Metalwolf]

I think they should do something new and original instead of another crossover. They're fun and all, but they've been becoming just yet another 'box' in each iteration that gets checked off on the to-do list along with certain comic plotlines.

Maybe have them all switch bodies with their enemies, or something. OT did it with Splinter and Shredder, 2k12 did it with Raph and a Kraang, but this time it's done with all four instead.

It can be a joke in the episodes.
"-Are you guys that slow?"..

[Coola Yagami]

The TMNT need a real crossover. Not just crossing over with themselves. Have them meet Batman, the Power Rangers. Idk. Some Nick franchise. Just have them actually crossover with an actual different franchise, not themselves.

[Metalwolf]

^^^ Pretty much this. The Batman and TMNT comics crossover had me hungry for more of this kind of stuff. I liked seeing how Batman (and the Turtles) were going to try and come up with ways to defeat a bunch of mutated Gotham criminals, shame it was only about 4 issues (BOO.)

Shame it couldn't be it's own 'universe.' It had a lot of potential and could have been something more interesting then trying to cram in yet another overdone 'Remember these Turtles? Nostalgia!' crossovers that strangely seem to only ever feature the Fred Wolf Turtles.

They all ready cross over with the Power Rangers. Back than, it was the best of both worlds lol.

[Wildcat]

A crossover with another Nick franchise? I struggle to think what would fit. Avatar? I never saw it though.

Spongebob? The turtles discover bikini bottom while swimming and help stop Plankton from stealing the krabby patty recipe.

Rocko? Filbert dresses up after buying the books at Kind of A lot Comics.

Yeah but I'm talking about now. Do it now.

I think books should crossover with books, comics with comics, live-action with live-action and animation with animation (Turtles Forever and Transdimensional Turtles could have been done without Mirage, Mirage could've crossed over with Archie instead). So probably, the Platinum Dunes turtles should cross over with the Power Rangers.

So with Animation crossing over with Animation, You would not mind a Avatar crossing over with say Cowboy Bebop right?

Didn't know where to put this but it's probably nothing

So is she voicing Kraang Prime again and if she is, does this mean the Kraang Prime is going to appear in Rise as a crossover with the 2012 show or the 2012 show is returning for one last time as a special.

While I can only hope for more 2012 I wonder if it's just Kraang Prime coming to Rise, I mean they did say that anyone could show up because of the different dimensions they are having.... but yeah if its 2012's character then they may show up too. .. Or it may be something else?

[Shark_Blade]

2012 is dead so of course it’s Rise.

Releasing any 2012 material for now will only confuse the public.

Danny Fenton might come to try and exorcize Oroku Nagi. Stimpy would probably try to find his Log, which was stolen by Draxum.

But, can we get a 2k3 crossover, or at least a cameo?

[Wildcat]

Ha I didn’t think anyone noticed my post. Ya a crossover with 2k3 would be cool.

I really don’t see a serious take crossover with other Nick franchises though. Only if for comedic value like the ones we mentioned.

On a side note there’s a sewer obstacle in the new Double Dare. Why they didn’t base it on the Turtles is a huge mystery since they own it. A TMNT ooze themed obstacle would fit perfectly on that show.

Why would children of today be expected to remember the Fred Wolf and 4 Kids Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Most of them wouldn't even remember the Nickelodeon series early season airing, many of them were just newborn-infants back then.

Why would children of today be expected to remember the Fred Wolf and 4 Kids Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Most of them wouldn't even remember the Nickelodeon series early season airing, many of them were just newborn-infants back then.That is why I was suggesting the 'alternative' crossover. As much as some on here like to clamor that the TMNT cartoons are for kids, there seems to be a large group of adults eager to have the new cartoon contain all of these old characters and comics storylines that the kids of today would have no reason to be attached to or care about.

Instead of writing to Nick en mass asking if they would consider a TMNT cartoon skewed towards older demographics and aired on Nick at Nite, they try to make the new cartoon 'their own' while still insisting it's for the next generation.

So instead of having the older Turtle cartoons drop by, there could be other crossovers that could be explored. The Usagi Yojimbo crossover is hugely popular, why not more of these alternative ones (or make up new ones?) Nick could come up with whatever it wanted to as far as storytelling is concerned.
