Punk Frogs cartoon
 

What if the Punk Frogs were given an own cartoon? They're not my favourites, but I just wonder what you would say out there.

They did. It was called Battletoads and only lasted one episode.


Seriously, I dunno... the Frogs were really wimpy in the old show, I mean they fought even less than the turtles did.

Battletoads
 

Battletoads was also a video game.

Um... yeah. Coola was just joking with that (connection between them).

Battletoads where awesome. I love the battletoads and double dragon crossover.

I don't think the frogs would have been a very interesting cartoon.

The Mutanimals on the other hand would have been cool, but apparently they didn't even last very long as a comic.

To this day I still can't tell them apart, and have no desire to learn their destinctions.

Didn't know those guys where based on tmnt's punk frogs:ohwell:

Like noted, Coola was just fooling about the connection between them. Sure they're a group of frogs, but it's a different thing.

Mutanimals
 

Sadly, the Mutanimals members didn't was a team in the 1987 cartoon (they could have been without Leatherhead, he was cool as a bad guy in the 1987 cartoon).

Well, like noted the other time this was brought up. There were apparently plans to do a Mutanimals cartoon, but it ended up cut-short and wasn't done.

Archie
 

Would it be Archie based?

Pretty much (there is a little info about it on the TMNT Wikipedia page). Basically would have the Mutanimals dealing with Maligna (like in the comic's mini-series), as well as some new villains.

*Edit: Here's the info--

Cool
 

That sounded cool.

Didn't get back in time (before you replied), but added a link to the information in my previous post.

Archie or 1987 cartoon
 

But if it really was based on the 1987 cartoon, how would they tackle Leatherhead, Ray Fillet, Wingnut, Screwloose and being bad guys. This http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ers#Ray_Fillet says Ray Fillet in the 1987 cartoon should be a good guy.

Well, there are similar things throughout TMNT's various medias.

Like you note with those characters being villains in the classic cartoon. While they're heroes in the comics and toyline.

Just different presentations of a character.

TMNT universe
 

I know that, but I mean if it would be the same TMNT universe (1987 cartoon + Mutanimals cartoon).

Were there not battletoad toys?

Don't know. Just know of the videogames and reading about that short-lived cartoon.

Battletoads
 

I see nothing about Battletoads toys on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battletoads. But interesting is how the Battletoads tried to rival the TMNT.

Yeah. That little info also notes of DICs other shows that have similarities to TMNT (Street Sharks and Extreme Dinosaurs). Basically that's all it is (that the shows have some similarities, etc.).

Sweden
 

Battletoads were supposed to arrive to Sweden in early 1992, and was considered to challenge the TMNT. But the video game arrived very late, in early 1993. Battletoads never became that popular on any part of the Earth, and some years later the TMNT begun to fade away before being popular again in the early 2000's.

I know I have seen toys that look like those toads in space suits I always figured thats what they were... I'm not sure.

I guess it did fit into those last copy cat attempts at tmnt success. ie. Biker Mice, street sharks and so on.

has anyone seen that comic that is making fun of TMNT but they are hamsters or something. The entire title is the same but just different words used for each. Something like adolescent, monster, warrior, hamsters or something stupid like that.

I never could tell them apart eighther. I couldn't stand the punk frogs, they should have stayed in Shredders control for a while longer before becoming good. Or been made permenent slaves by Leatherhead.

Street Sharks and Extreme Dinosaurs
 

Here are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Sharks and here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_Dinosaurs for.

Yeah, there have been alot of similar series.

And that comic you note is Adolecent Radioactive Blackbelt Hamsters.

Parody
 

But don't forget that TMNT was originally a parody on how comics were the years around 1980.

Something tells me the TMNT didn't have anything to fear from a Battletoads animated series:


Pathetic.:lol: Sounds like "Greased Lightning"!

Toxic Crusaders
 

Didn't Toxic Crusaders also tried to challenge TMNT for a while around 1992?

Guess could also say that was another series doing a similar routine.

Power Rangers
 

But Power Rangers finally became the thing that managed to "put down" TMNT.

And subsequently that (Power Rangers) was copied/had shows similar to it air, as well.

Super Sentai
 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Rangers says the Power Rangers are based on some Japanese tokusatsu "Super Sentai" series.

Yep, I had learned of that quite some time ago.

There's a new Sentai series each year, and each Power Rangers is a variation on that.

1975
 

Super Sentai debuted in 1975 says http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Sentai, and Power Rangers in 1993. Why do Power Rangers when you can show the original with dub or text (Japanese action/adventure shows are popular in the western world two).

Well... just doing something "a little different". Had also read somewhere that Power Rangers has been popular in Japan as well (kinda expected in a way, but still funny; a variant on their Sentai shows, which put together footage from those and new American footage, has also gotten popular).

Violence
 

Is Super Sentai more violent than Power Rangers?

From what I've read, it can be quite violent at times.
