Mighty Mutanimals
 

I don't normally watch this cartoon. I've been meaning too, but I don't think its on free to air here in Australia.

Anyway, one episode I did see featured Wingnut and Screwloose. It was a different version from the one in the Mighty Mutanimals (a team of mutants from the Archie series), but it really made me think if any other alternate versions of them will show up - or if they have in fact already shown up!

I see that Leatherhead has also appeared, and Mondo Ghecko might be another safe bet. But I would love Man Ray (Ray Fillet) to show up, as he was my favourite of the bunch.

I too am from Australia, have a similar username and was also thinking the exact same thing!

I LOVED the Archie comics as a kid and would lover to see some of the ideas from those books applied to this cartoon. (Which I think is really good)

The Mighty Mutanimals were really good characters. I would like to see mutants be less monster like and more like the Turtles and Splinter.

There's some really good stuff in those Archie Comics.

I wouldn't say Wingnut appeared, many fans are on the fence as to whether or not April's father, post mutation, is actually Wingnut. Mikey called him that, yes, but his toy is called Kirbybat, and the official design for Wingnut has yet to appear... Ciro refused to confirm or deny either, which means there's more to it, as well. With that being said, Screwloose was definitely never in the show, and I don't really see how Mondo is a safe bet.

Yeah, I think they only made Mikey call him that for a quick reference. We could possibly see

I don't think any of the old mutant allies will make comebacks, not with the way Nick treats mutants as monsters half the time. Even a mutant who could have been an ally like Pigeon Pete doesn't even bother to visit the turtles.

But we don't know how long the Kraang had Pete captured for. And Pete didn't know where the turtles live.

I sure hope so. I loved those characters. I kinda wish Slash looked a little more old school on this show... he loses a lot of his Archie appeal for me.

That is a little spooky! :teek:

My bad, I thought Screwloose did appear. I thought Mondo would have more of a chance because of the kid/silly element. Whereas the rest of them are more adult/serious types.

I'd love to see the MMs in this show.

Then Shredder will maybe team up with Kraang Prime, maybe have their hideout be in the Technodrome, and maybe have a mutant warthog and rhino. :twink:

i think the Mutanimals would take too much focus away from the Turtles. Plus they are Archie, and isn't Archie stuff kind of considered off limits since it's not Nick's?

Mondo, Ray, W/S, and Merdude were all toys first. Plus Mondo was in the original show. Jagwar, Dreadmon, Ninjara, Candy Fine, Juntarra, and Kid Terra are a bit more iffy though...

EDIT: Ninjara got a one shot after the end of Archie TMNT. Also, most aren't popular enough to return.

Ninjara got her own comic after the Archie series ended, so it would appear her rights are at least partially owned by her creators.

Whoever told you Nick can't use them is an idiot or a liar. Nick owns the entire franchise.

Looks like I was right with my guess that Mondo Gecko would appear next. Is he due next season?

Now if only Ray Fillet (Man Ray) would appear!!

I'm hoping that Ray Fillet, Wingnut, and Screwloose all appear. (Well I want Jagwar, Dreadmon, and Ninjara to appear too. But they don't seem as likely.) ;(

I would love for Dreadmon, Jaguar and Ninjara to show up, But they aren't Mutants though.

They are however toyetic, so that doesn't necessarily rule them out. Except maybe Ninjara who I'm not sure is part t of the Nick deal

Kid Erra and Juntarra aren't toyetic either. Also, Ninjara was in the 30th anniversary special.

Maybe NOW we'll get those Mutanimals spin-off. :D

I was saying that Jagwar and Dreadmon ARE toyetic, despite not being Mutants (but then again they could be in the new series), so they would work in the merchandise driven toys from Playmates. On an unrelated note, I want my AceDuck...

I'm pretty sure we'll see Man Ray, Wingnut/Screwloose and probably Merdude at this point.

Probably not Jaguar or Dreadmon since Ciro may not even be aware of them. They're obscure since they didn't get toys and only appeared in Archie.

I was going to say the same thing about Jagwar and Dreadmon. They can easily be mutants in the universe.

At least we know Ace duck does exist. We just haven't seen him yet. Apart from that picture.

I don't think he really "exists" in the Nick show...at least not yet. Baxter had pictures that I believe were equivelant to "concept art" to show Shredder some of his ideas. It was really meant as a 'throwaway gag' to all the old-school fans. I'm sure a true Ace Duck will appear at some point, but not the Ace Duck that was seen in that picture. If THAT Ace Duck were to appear, it would have to be a "musical" episode and he would appear in a band with these guys:

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I would like to see Dreadmon and Jagwar appear in the Nick series, But knowing them, There origins will be completely changed.

Dreadmon is more kind of like a Werewolf. Jagwar is another story, His mother was a human, So I dont think Nick would want a character born of a human mother and Jaguar spirit, The idea of a human female getting pregnant by an Animal Spirit might be too much for Kids.

They could either be "mutations" or from another dimension perhaps.

If they were made them Mutants in the Nick series, I can totally see Mikey naming the two. Dreadmon cause, Hes got Dreads, Jagwar cause, Hes a Jaguar.

I have to admit, that picture made me laugh far more than it should have
