The Official Technodrome "Favorite Character" Polls & Hub
 

Greetings, everyone!

Thanks to Krang for giving this thread and system of ordinance the green light.

With all of the 2012 Nick Turtles news and media streaming in at a seemingly fast speed, our forum community has been bustling with topics of discussion, exciting and some leading to great conservations about our favorite franchise. However, we've also suffered from a bit of unorganized thread placement and an array of unnecessary (sometimes even double) topics.

People can complain all they want when another "Who is Your Favorite Turtle?" thread pops up, but it doesn't change the fact that this question will always be asked, mostly by new members who haven't scanned the search engine on the forum. Some fault belongs to them because they have not been entirely diligent, yet at the same time there are no forum rules that state a time frame in topics concerning "Favorite" polls.

So, I purpose a system of ordinance concerning "Favorite" (Character) polls. Seeing as how there are already 2 sans-poll threads asking who your favorite character is/who your favorite Turtle is, I suggest having a one-year duration "official" Technodrome poll/thread for favorite Turtle, and another for secondary characters.

Throughout the year the 2 polls are active, all "Favorite Turtle" threads will now be merged in this central hub of discussion (and, likewise, for secondary characters) if they are subsequently started. When the polls are deactivated in a year's time, there should be a reasonable knowledge gained on the part of the community as a whole so as to not start another Favorites thread for at least six months. After this six (give or take depending on circumstance) month period, another poll can be "officially" started.

So there you have it, folks! Vote and discuss using the links below!

See, that's why years ago, we added the "Favorite TMNT Character" option to the user profile....and even THAT didn't keep the threads from popping up. Here's hoping this works better. :D

It's worth a shot, right? :)

Early childhood, Rocksteady. Late childhood, The Shredder. As an adult, i have to say Leatherhead. It's not easy choosing though, love them all. Can't say there has been a character popping up in the turtles universe that i detested, well i might have, but not to my recollection.

A tie between:

April O'Neil. She's my favorite female animated character of all time.

Splinter. He's the glue that holds the show together.

To break the tie, I have to flip a coin. Hold on...

Heads, April Tails Splinter.

*flips*

It's Splinter!

I wouldn't take a franchise serious if i were to decide which character i liked best by flipping a coin.

Yeah, but it was sort of a weighted decision. I feel like my personality really jibes with Master Splinter. He was really the heart of the series.

For instance, I liked the moment where he saves the TMNT in the junkyard by driving in there with the Turtle van and blasting Shredder's gang, then remarking... "It's amazing what one can do when one is forced to!" Great line. Plus the early episodes where he went toe-to-toe with Shredder in combat was proof that he was the most bad@$$ of all the characters in the series.

I really like Bebop n Rocksteady in the OT, then Leatherhead in the 2K3 shows.
This latest incarnation, Mikey, hands down. Great character.

Mondo Gecko every time!

For me Bishop is the best villain alongside with Shredder in the 2k3..
Rock steady and Bebop are my favorites in the OT, except for the moments where splinter faces shredder xD

Michelangelo. I love him the most in the 1987 cartoon, but he's awesome in any other incarnations. Shredder and the other Turtles are awesome too, of course.

I prefer the villains from the OT series to heroes. Krang and Shredder are so much fun. My face always lights up when the Technodrome scenes start.
Honorable mention goes to April as she is my all-time favorite animated female character.

Leatherhead would have to be one of my favs along with Splinter from 2k3.
I should really re-watch this show...

Mikey is my favorite from the 2012 series, with Don being a close second.

Donatello and Michelangelo in what ever series! :D

Donatello when i was a kid, now days I think between Raph and Mike

I just can't decide between Splinter and Baxter, though I only liked Baxter as an adult, while Splinter was one of my childhood heroes.

As a young one, I also liked Wingnut, Jagwar, Dreadmon, Man Ray, Azrael, Ninjara, and Chien Khan, though not so much anymore. There's not really much to their characters, except for being animals that I thought were cool.

Quarry is my other new favourite character as an (alleged) grown-up, though I wish she'd been presented as a female character from the start.

Mikey, Snakeweed, Or OT Krang or Shredder

Gotta be....
 

Gotta be Leonardo. Leading that team of A.D.D turtles couldn't have been easy.

Raphael in all incarnations tied with Shredder and Karai from IDWs.

Raphael cuz always was my favorite character from the franchise, and the IDWs version from Shredder and mainly Karai are freaking awesome on this series.

Raph has and will always be my favorite character, in all incarnations. Now, my second favorite Turtle depends on what I am watching/reading.

Leo-Mirage and 2k3
Donny-2007
Mikey-1990-1993 films and Fred Wolf toon.

Raphael, then and now, will always be my favorite.

A couple of throw pillows, a TV news reporter!

I loved Leo as a kid. Still do. I enjoyed Mikey, too. Raph and Don were kinda hit and miss for me in the OT (as a kid). Loved April in the OT and I really liked the Shredder villain.

2K3, I liked Don and Leo the best. Though I really enjoyed Raph and Mikey, too. Didn't really have a favorite villain, though. Though, I did really like that Monster Hunter episode.

2007, I liked Mikey and Don the best.

2012 is Raph for sure. I just really enjoy all the scenes with him. I like all the other turtles, too (Quite a bit). I don't know, this tends to change throughout shows. Mikey has been growing on me. Favorite villains so far is Karai, Bishop and Fungus. I also quite like Fishface.

Of course, I love April. She was just a really cool character.

And in the NES game (since I spent a lot of time playing that when younger), Mikey was my favorite turtle to pick- because his weapons were so different and the moves were a lot different than his brothers.

Slash, and Shredder. And Super Shredder. Also Rat King :)

Ignoring the main cast, I have to go with Mona Lisa. She was the only "Mutant Ally" from the original series that I ever cared about.

If I had to choose one character that I'd like to see reintroduced in the Nick series, it would be Mona Lisa.

depending on the series/iteration, I go back and forth between Leo and Donnie. As a kid I always identified with Donnie, introvert who always has his head buried in new tech, but as I grew up, and started taking myself more seriously, I began relating to Leo.

Plus who doesn't love a bada** with twin katanas.

Why not put a poll here, since the poll is closed for some reason? I guess it was an old poll. But newbs will still want their polls!

Anyway my favourite is Michelangelo because he is the warmest character.

I find myself juggling between Michelangelo and Donatello, but I think lately I like Don more. I like him the most in the Nick series, especially because of Rob Paulsen and I think Michelangelo comes off as a little bit slower than he should be. (I still enjoy the Nick version of him despite this)

My favorite Turtle has always been Leo, but Don is growing on me.

Favorite villains are Shredder and IDW's Krang as well as Karai.

Favourite turtle is Donatello in every incarnation except 2012. I guess if you want to give me a favourite turtle in that continuity, give me Leonardo.

Secondary characters and villains [who I will roll into one] are a little tougher. My 1987 pick would be the Rat King, 1990 movie pick would be Casey Jones, 2003 pick would be Leatherhead, and 2012 pick.... uh, Leatherhead again. I'd also like to give special mentions to 2003's Karai, April, and Bishop. And Angel, too. OK, just throw the whole secondary/recurring 2k3 cast in here, they're all good.

Favourite Turtle is Raph; favourite supporting/secondary characters vary depending on the series/incarnation. :)

The sad part is that Donnie didn't really do anything in the 2007 movie. :/ Raphael's my favorite Turtle and I liked that the movie was about him and Leo, but they really shoved Mikey and Donnie to the side. :/

favorite
 

I am a female so maybe its strange that I don't really like april! or I'm jealous that she got to be the turtles friend:D lol jk irma's pretty cool thou...

also my favourite turtle is Donatello! but my favourite villain is definitely krang:) just cause he's such a big asshat :D

I like Raphael. Especially in the 2014 film and in the 2003 cartoon.

Was and always will be Mikey...(Does not matter which adaptation) No questions asked.

My absolute favorite turtle is Donatello. I love his smart personality and the fact that he invents gadgets for the team is cool. I'm also very much a fan of the color purple.

All the turtles. :tcool:

Well for me it was Always Raphael and splinter , my older brother loved Leonardo so we were Always fighting who's the best and strongest i feel those memories make the turtles special.

Turtle - Michelangelo
Secondary - April

I love the sidekick characters like Joe Eyeball!

Mikey, brah!

Ol' blue boy, in all his versions. As if it needs to be said but I'm late to answering. :twink:
