Any plans for Casey or the 4 frogs?
 

Hello there, I was wondering if the new crew had any plans for Casey or the frogs. Thanks!

I heard Casey was confirmed for season 2. I'm not sure if this is 100% true.

Cool! I assume he'll be a teen as well? How long is season 1 going to be? 13 or 26 episodes?

From what I heard Casey Jones is officially confirmed for season two.

Season 1 is going to be 26 episodes; at least, that's what it says on Wikipedia.

Yep :)

So far the confirmed characters are:
Baxter Stockman
Dogpound
Fishface
Metalhead
The Rat King
Leatherhead
The Flaming Carrot
Casey Jones
Karai
Fugitoid
Female Kraang (which can heard on Rob Paulsen's podcats with the show's creator and executive producer) played by Casandra Peterson aka Elvira.
No word on the Punk Frogs.

General Traag and Karai have also been confirmed.

This show keeps getting better and better!

Now we just have to hope Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady appear...but sadly no word on them yet. Maybe in Season 2.

The Flaming Carrot..... wut...?

Sweet but what is the flaming carrot? I wonder if Leatherhead will be good guy or villain like the 80s toon.

The Flaming Carrot is a superhero created by Bob Burden (Mystery Men). The Flaming Carrot did a few crossover issues with the Turtles:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Flaming Carrot 1
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Flaming Carrot 2
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Flaming Carrot 3
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Flaming Carrot 4

and the TMNT made appearance in:
Flaming Carrot 25
Flaming Carrot 26
Flaming Carrot 27

Not sure why he was chosen for the series. I'm guessing Ciro Nieli is a fan of the character.

Oh my freaking goodness!!!! I can't believe the Flaming Carrot is gonna be in this show!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!

And Fugitoid too! This show is definitely gonna be sweeeet!!!

I believe Casey was confirmed to be 18.

Yeah I wouldn't be able to name a source right now, but I'm pretty sure it's been said that he'd be older than April and the turtles.

Thanks for the info!

oh yes!!!I didn'tknow that before!;)that is really great!flamming carrot is such a great character!!!;)
the fugitoid making it back here is absolutely superb, too!!!
as I mentioned in two different spots here:I posted an actual interview with ciro nielli, hoon lee and kevin michael richardson here where they confirm casey for season two, krang from the 80s making it into the cartoon and 'can't say anything about it' about whether bebop and rocksteady will come back, too;)...
for me that ready like nick says I should shut up now but I won't say NO to you;)
man, I HOPE the punk frogs make it back on the tube here!!they were so much fun;)..

Leatherheaf a villain or hero in this version?

@NinjaMan: My pleasure :)

I actually can picture, for some odd reason, Bruce Campbell voicing The Flaming Carrot or Jeff Bennett.

@marcelangelo: Thanks for the tip man :) I'm glad the 80's Krang will be appearing in the series. Ciro is trying really hard to keep the down low on upcoming characters. I don't blame him though, he wants it to be a surprised. As much as I love Rocksteady and Bebop, I have a feeling they won't appear in the show. As much as I would want them, I'm thinking Dogpound and Fishface are the new Rocksteady and Bebop. Although, being that Ciro is a die-hard fan, he might have them make cameos, either in their human or mutant form.

I have a hunch that Leatherhead is going to be a villain. He was a battle boss in one of those mini Nickelodeon online games. Then again he could be both be good and bad. I do know (from looking at the toy design) he is modeled after the 2003 series.

If I can geek out for a few moments... while Channel 6 news is in the series I would love for an episode to have April get a job there or maybe intern. She doesn't have to be a reporter or maybe she eventually does. I know her new incarnation doesn't have her being a desired new reporter, but it would be such f***ing cool to see The Channel Six news building again and maybe have Irma, Vernon and Burne in a episode.

I can't see all four frogs show up in this new incarnation, though I could see Genghis being a possible addition at some point.

Are we sure Fugitoid was confirmed? Are you sure you guys aren't mixing that up with the IDW comics where Fugitoid appeared?

Great! Think they'll do a great job with him

I would love to see Be-Bop and RockSteady but I have this weird feeling that won't be in the cartoon. They're trapped in the 80's universe. I also have a weird feeling that they will be in the new live action. But again just a weird feeling.


I REALLY hope the frogs show up and Usagi and Mondo Gecko, and I wouldn't mind seeing a cameo by Keno.

Bebop and Rocksteady are hardly trapped in the 80's universe. I guarantee we'll see them in Season 2.

They obviously wanted to introduce new mutants first.

I'm not sure how reliable this is but...

http://tmnt.wikia.com/wiki/Teenage_M...2_TV_series%29

I think Dogpound and Fishface are the new Be-Bop and RockSteady.

I'd personaly rather have it the other way around.

I would have bet money on Bebop and Rocksteady being in Season 1 but they suprised me. It seems Dogpound and Fishface fill their role if the opening visuals are anything to go by. I'd argue if they didn't use them right at the gate then it's by no means a certainty.

Didn't they say that they had no plans for Bebop and Rocksteady? Of course that could change down the line if it hasn't aleady but it seems they're going more monsterous with their mutants in this series. I do think Bebop & Rocky might fit that better than some other Fred Wolf mutants. They were also stalwarts of the franchise back in the day and while I have no burning desire to see them in this show I wouldn't roll my eyes and accuse them of "Fred Wolf pandering" if they showed up. I'd at least be curious how they'd look and how they'd fit.

They're using them in comics that are aimed at teens and adults, sure they're going to use them in a show aimed at children.

There is no such thing as, "Fred Wolf pandering" anymore. The barriers between character origins have been eradicated. They're simply TMNT characters now.

I can't wait to see Casey. Flaming Carrot should be especially interesting. I hope Usagi gets to show up at some point too.

I second your hopes, timee mistress!usagi would be really incredible if done right(and I have a feeling that these were the right people to care for a true depiction of that character)
faming carrot is on my excited-for-list, too;)

Wait, 80's Krang with the android body is coming? As in fred wolf Krang?

Casey is in, he gonna a be a 18/19 year old high school drop out. I really hope the Punk Frogs are in.

I am sorry to report this but stan stated at the usagi yojimbo dojo that usagi won't be in the new turtles cartoon...

do we really know his age and his high-school dropout status? I think his personality fits a drop-out (seems to be a real anti-authority type) but would they really put that in a 2012 kid's show?

Good thing about TMNT universe... they can easily create a character just as cool to replace him. They obviously have tons of great new characters coming... like the newtralizer Ciro Nieli was talking about on rob paulsen's podcast... he's like a newt predator type of bounty hunter or something. They have tons of ideas for stuff, I wouldn't worry

No there is still "Fred Wolf pandering". The idea that all the characters from there need to appear other places is in no way appropriate or necessary. This idea that Bebop and Rocksteady need to be in everything is retarded.

Bebop and Rocksteady would fit in the Nick show perfectly. Almost feels like this series was made for them to appear.

I have to admit when I saw the preview for next week's episode I thought that Chuck Norris looking dude was gonna be Casey Jones.

It doesn't mean they should or are going to appear. They had their time in the sun and should stay where they are. I think that people should give Dogpound and Fishface a chance before saying "Why aren't Bebop and Rocksteady being used?"

I honestly don't see how those two characters can be used without turning into slapstick.

^ This. Well said Carl. I honestly think that there are some characters from the OT, like Bebop & Rocksteady, that are better left staying there. I'm looking forward to see how Dogpound and Fishface are going to be handled on the show.
