Got a TMNT Question? Try to Stump the "experts"
 

Hello, all.
After doing a few pages of TMNT trivia with X, and realizing he's a Playmates and old toon phenom, and I'm pretty good with the TMNT movies and ok with Archie and the new toon, so we desided we'd start a "Ask/Stump the Experts" thread. The premise is simple, u have a question, legitimate or an attempt to "stump" us, ask away. we'll answer it to the best of our ability, if we can't we're stumped.
"Get it, got it, good!"
And now, Stump the Experts!!!

This is good I like the set up, cant wait for a question. :D

Hmm... Okay, I'll bite! :D

This is actually a legit question that I've been wondering about for some time. In the old 'toon, what's the name of the episode where Metalhead makes his first appearance? I have an animation cell showing Don with Metalhead, and I think it might be from Metalhead's debut (since I'm sure he's been in two episodes).

That would be, "The Making of Metalhead".

and to keep the ball rolling X, what was the 2nd Metalhead episode.

Coolness! Thanks, X!

Y'know, I just noticed that Metalhead's holding a vacuum. Could that mean that my animation cell is from the second episode? :???: I have a vague memory of Donny re-programming their former enemy and turning him into a housekeeper of sorts... Unless that happened in "The Making of Metalhead."

Here's a stumper:

Why was Slash changed from the badass he is in the Archie series to a bumbling idiot for the Original cartoon? And howcome he didn't have his black bandana in the Old cartoon?

Wheee.. try to answer THAT! :P

I want to know the one where all the turtles are kids except Michelangelo what episode was that called?

Hey i know this one Shadow Leo, it's called Adventures in Turtlesitting.
And Cubed, dunna, i guess it's a writers dissision, the Archie sereis took off from the show before Slash, and the storys had more grit to them, that may be it....

How did Usagi orgnially end up meeting the TMNT and which comic series hosted the first crossover?

Darn u spitfire!!!! i dunna....Mirage isn't my area of expertiese....we need a mirage man....if u know the answer urself, u've got the job as th Mirage Comics geek....to my movie Geek and X's TV geek....

Oy... If only Roseangelo or Karpo were here to answer that question. I'm almost certain that Usagi appeared in a turtles book before they appeared in his own book. Could've been a Turtle Soup story where Leo faces Usagi in a duel. Too bad all my TMNT comics are at home. :(

hehe I wanna join...

I know he was in Turtle Soup #1 1st print 1987

I think that was the first one Usagi was in, but I'm not sure :D

Thanks guys, Mirage is definately not my forte, and i'm not sure how much x knows...

I cannot be conquered in my knowledge of the old toon.

alright....test urself against X...he's pretty good himself.

I don't ask questions, only answer them. Especially since in this kind of way of answering questions you can look up the answer.

ok....:ohwell: Which episodes of the old show featured turtle tots, which episodes had characters switching bodies or thinking they were another character, and what was the first mistake in in the long history of old toon animation mistakes??
X, DK commence the....DUEL!!!!!

Turtle Tots: "Back to the egg" and "Adventures in turtle sitting".
Switching Bod's: "Cowabunga Shredhead" and "The Old Switcheroo" .
Mistake:The roof scene in the first episode "Turtle Tracks".

what about Donny having Raph's voice in the sewers in Turtle Tracks....ha...Victory is mine!!!

Only one question was wrong. :roll: :D :ohwell:

But as "experts" we should never make mistakes...oye....

JUst ask another already! :x ............................... :P

I'm not a quetioner my friend....i'm ur fellow expert, just trying to keep u sharp...

Then lets go to "TMNT Trivia". :D

ok....it'll keep u sharp.....cause Dk's talkin smack...u need to train Rock....

here's another episode question what was the episode where the Shredder did something to Donnie and Donnie had a grudge on him and built a superpower suit to get him back?

I believe that's "Night of the Dark Turtle".

going back to an older question...I believe the first time Usagi met the TMNT was in Usagi Yojimbo (fantagraphics) #10 where Laird did a backup story of Usagi meeting Leo. Stan returned the favor for "Turtle Soup" (1987) where Usagi and Leo meet again. Usagi didn't meet the rest of the Turtles until Usagi Yojimbo volume 2 (Mirage) #1. Correct me if I'm wrong!

Well, the thing is that Fantagraphics #10 was published in August 1988...so if they "met" in Turtle Soup #1 from '87 (which I dont own, so I cant tell what stories are in it) then I guess their first meeting would me in the Turtle Soup book...and to be clear, the story was "The Crossing" with Leo and Usagi crossing paths in a very cool fight...

Here's a defeat for both of you. Switching Bods: You both forgot Raphael Drives 'em Wild. Here's my trivia question for now. There is a tune that was played all the way through only ONCE in the entire series (besides Howie's songs obviously.) Describe the scene in which in played and name the episode.

I'll honsestly say i don't know...it's been yearts since i've seen the old toon....I'm the TMNT movie dude....:D

ok yet another episode question I want to ask which episode in the old toon did Rahzar and Tokka first appear?

there was only one....not sure what it's called, but it has mutant hunters in it....

Ok, I have a question that I know the answer to, wanna see if I can catch you guys out ;) Name all the figures on old toon Casey's first release card?

Dirk Savage: Mutant Hunter

Usagi Yojimbo, Ace Duck, Genghis Frog, Krang, Baxter Stockman, General Traag, Metalhead, Leatherhead, and the Rat King??

Right so far but that's not all of 'em :)

Really....darn....i should stick to movies....
casey is too i guess.....but that's just being picky....:P

Haha, yeah, but I didn't even think of him :lol: The rest are the 4 Turtles, Splinter, Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady and Foot Solider. April isn't on it though :ohwell:
