Which ones would you choose...
 

This is going to be a strange question.

I wanted to ask that if you could take 1 turtle (and such) from any of the versions and create your own team of turtles, what would they be (and you can say why if you really wanted to)?

Only rule, each one has to be a different version (for example, it can't be "Mikey and Don from the 80's cartoon and..." or "Raph and Leo from the Mirage comics and..."). Just to make it tougher (because I'd easily do stuff like pick Mikey, Raph, and Leo from the 1990 film, which would be too simple).

If this question has already been done, sorry about that.

For me, I'll pick:

Michelangelo: 1990 Film
Raphael: 2003 Cartoon
Leonardo: Mirage Comics
Donatello: 2012 Cartoon
Splinter: IDW Comics
Casey Jones: Original Cartoon
April: Archie Comics

uh...

Mikey -2012...
Don -2003
Raph -2007
Leo- from the first movie...
April IDW comics
Casey Jones -OT

that was hard XD

Mike - First movie :tlove:
Don - 2k3 (he's boring but I gotta go with Splinter for 2k12..)
Leo - Mirage (sorry Leo, 2k12 is taken..)
Raph - 2k7 (you too Raph, bow down to your master..)
April - OT :tlove:
Splinter - 2k12 :tlove:
Casey -third movie (haha he's the same actor in the first movie, but that means I essentially get to pick 2 characters from the first movie! :lol:)

Leonardo- 4kids
Raphael- Image
Michelangelo- Fred Wolf
Donatello- Nick
Splinter- TMNT movie
Shredder- Mirage
April- IDW
Casey Jones- '90s movies

Raph: OT
Donnie: 2k12
Leo: 2k3
Mikey: Mirage
Splinter: 4th movie
Casey Jones: IDW
April: 1st Movie

2007 Leonardo
2012 Donatello
Live Action Raph
Mirage Michaelangelo

Leonardo: Mirage

Raphael: 2k3

Donatello: Nick series

Michelangelo: 1st Movie

Raph - Archie

Leo- IDW

Mikey- OT

Don- Image

Casey- Mirage

April- 2k3

Slinter- Nick

Raph- Josh Pais (most attitude and just the most badass version)
Leo- 2007 film (this film I thought really focused on how great a leader he is)
Mike- Nick toon (HILARIOUS)
Donnie- OT ( funny and had great gadgets
April- OT (what can I say shes the sexiest)
Splinter- Nick toon ( I wouldnt mess with this rat)
Casey- OT ( raging lunitic with a good heart 8) )

Mikey- 90's movies, without a doubt!
Don- IDW he's really interesting in this one
Leo- Nick toon, he's balanced and still knows how to have fun
Raph- OT, I love his sarcasm and 4th-wall breaking
Splinter- 2K3 this rat was both cool and bad-a$$
April- 07 movie, she was a very well-developed version
Casey- I gotta go IDW with him, too, since it's the most interesting backstory and I don't know Mirage well enough to pick anyone from it.

Mikey- Mirage
Don- 1990 Movie
Leo- IDW
Raph- 2k3
Splinter- 2012
Casey-...2k7 I guess
Which I suppose leaves OT for April (though if I could double up, I'd go with 2k3)

Mikey- OT, knew how to be fun (not stupid) but also be serious when needed
Don- Nick, seems the most technologically intelligent
Leo- Live Action, default since I don't have a favorite version anyway
Raph- 2k3, default since I couldn't double

Splinter- Nick, most like a father and can fight
April- OT, cause she's the hottest
Casey Jones- Live Action, just seemed like a cool guy

Would have picked Nick Raph cause he seems the most caring despite having a temper. Could have switched Don and Raph I guess but didn't wanna loose Nick Don.

Let me save Andrew some time:

Leonardo- Mirage
Michaeangelo- Mirage
Donatello- Mirage
Raphael- Mirage

Actually no, that wouldn't be the case because I specifically put "Only rule, each one has to be a different version (for example, it can't be "Mikey and Don from the 80's cartoon and..." or "Raph and Leo from the Mirage comics and..."). Just to make it tougher (because I'd easily do stuff like pick Mikey, Raph, and Leo from the 1990 film, which would be too simple)."

Which by the way, you kinda ignored by having 2 OT, 2 Mirage, and 2 '1st movies'... :lol:

He'd still answer the same way and I was never one for rules :D

Edit: Ah what the hell....I'll play along.

*goes off to edit my OP*

This could be tough.

Raphael, wow, tough. I'm going with 1990 movie (but seriously, this is hard because I have loved all of his incarnations)

Donnie, another hard one. It's a coin toss between 2k7 movie and Nick toon.

Mikey-1990 movie, easily.

Leo-2k3, but his Nick counterpart is coming up fast.

Splinter-Ot

April-Ot.

Casey-Koteas!

ahh this is tough
 

you said only one turtle can be from the original toon right? but you said nothing about april and casey and splinter from what I got so

Mikey- original series, he has the best blend of fighting and funny. Its not too overbearing like the nick series, and he's never afraid to fight like sometimes in 2k3
Raph- mirange, just for the pure badass rip your head off nature. If we are creating the best fighting team he has to be in here
Leo- 2k3. I think he exibits the best leadership skills of all the incarnations.
Don- Secret of the ooze. He's funny and really smart in this, and I really ran out of other options so kinda had to chose it.
Casey Jones- Original series cause he's just crazy and badass.
April- 'TMNT' cause she can actually fight and is damn good at it.
Splinter-1990 film. The way he brought those turtles together, made them stronger, everything about him was just perfect.

Okay, this was tough, but I think I got my dream team right here (or at least as close as I can get given the "no more than one per series" rule).

Leonardo: 2007 CGI Movie
Donatello: Secret of the Ooze
Raphael: Archie Comics
Michelangelo: Mirage Comics
Splinter: 2003 4Kids Cartoon
April: IDW Comics
Casey: 1990 Live-Action Movie

I know I technically have two characters from the same 'verse in there, but hopefully it still counts, because Casey wasn't in "Secret of the Ooze", and Donatello's personality was radically different in that movie as compared to the first one.

Heck, I suppose you could even say I have three, since it's implied that the live-action movies happened within the timeline of the CGI movie! Even TMNT III... :lol:

Leonardo: 1990 Live-Action Movie
Donatello: 2003 series
Raphael: 2012 series
Michelangelo: 2007 movie
Splinter: 1987 series
April: IDW Comics
Casey: 1993 Live-Action Movie

id put together a silly wacky quartet:

leonardo: turtles forever ot
raphael: tmnt movie 3
donatello: 4kids series
michelangelo: nick series

alright i'm choosing straight up Butt kicking power for my team.
Disclaimer: never read the comics (yet), and never watched Nick and only a few 2k3(can't find them)

OT Don: smartest of the dons (only one i know who built an inter dimensional portal ;))

TMNT Movie Raph: in night watcher armour = TANK;

original Movie Leo: one of the strongest leader of the Leos

Movie 3 Mikey: out of my mikes left to pick had to choose this one cause he one of the less immature mikes. plus samurai armour ;)

if i could have doubled up i think i'de have gone original movie mikey or to mikey but rules are rules ;) haha

I watched the 1990 movie this past Sunday, and you're right, he was a good leader and great brother in that. He had his spats, but wasn't above getting down and playing with his bros. And he had a bit of a fuse that was cute. Casey Jones comes crashing into April's place, and Leo, all tuckered out, growls "NOW WHAT!" Hehe, I think that was my moms favorite line in that flick.

This is gonna be hard!

Leonardo - I can't decide man. I like the variety with which he is portrayed, from the dedicated lionhearted 2k3 to the cocky prick of 2k7 to the dorkiness of Nick... although he's too much of a jerk in Nick. I will go with the 1990 movie since previous posters reminded me how likeable he was in it.
Donatello - I want to pick IDW but it applies even more for Mike so I'll go with 2k3... he was a sweetie pie. Didn't like the dorky voice acting though.
Raphael - Mirage... he was an emotional character but not a bully. He flew off the handle but felt really remorseful. He challenged Leo but acknowledged when he was wrong.
Michelangelo - IDW. He's well developed, compassionate, sensitive, fun, spontaneous, an actual peacekeeper, and wacky. Runner up OT, although he's kind of dumb in it, but that's how I fell in love with the character.
Splinter - I honestly don't get why people think Nick Splinter is the most fatherlike. Obviously haven't seen the intensely involved and nurturing 2k3 Splinter, or even in the 1990 movie, where he gave very loving heart-to-heart messages. Nick Splinter is a relative deadbeat and a snarky bastard. Anyway, although I hate the voice acting, I will go with 2k3 Splinter. I already used 2k3 but I'm running out of universes.
April - Uh, whats left? Damn I want to pick 2k3 or IDW. Let's say the 2007 movie then.
Casey - Seriously what's left? Have to repeat, go with either Mirage Tales of the TMNT version or 1990 movie. He is way too soft in IDW.

Leonardo: IDW
Donatello: Secret of the Ooze, hands down.
Raphael: Mirage. Seems to fit his character the best.
Michelangelo: 2012. By far my favorite version of Mikey!
Splinter: TMNT (2007). Mako was awesome.
April: OT. The most iconic.
Casey: 2003, I guess by default, heh.

I'm out of versions that I'd actually go with, but I'd pick IDW for Shredder as well.

I enjoy Leo in all versions, he's just my favorite over all so it's hard for me to chose. It's a tie between Nick Leo and 4kids Leo at best though :)

Mikey : Live action 80s films / 80s series, think those two portrayed him the best.

Raph : Nick version, in my opinion he was too harsh in the 4kids series and I almost hated him in the 2007 film. I think he's got the perfect balance in the Nick series, though I did like him a lot in the 80s series too.

Donnie : I think I liked him best in the 4Kids series, if he wasn't so in love with the April in the Nick series he's my second favorite version.

Splinter : He's not really a favorite of mine, guess the Nick version.

April : :lol:

Casey : Hmmm Tough, I liked how Casey looked in 4Kids series better but I like how he's smart in this series. He's one of my favorites so...

Team builder time!
 

Let me have a whack at this:

Leonardo: 2003
Donatello: Fred Wolf
Raphael: Live-Action
Mikey: Nick
April: OT
Casey: Live-Action
Leatherhead: Archie
Metalhead: Nick
Splinter: 2003
Mondo: Archie
Fugitoid: Mirage
Mona Lisa: Fred Wolf
Irma: Fred Wolf
Ray: Archie
Wingnut: Archie
Ninjara: Archie
Venus: TNM

Nice topic

Leo- 2007 movie....I love raph but man he was a whiny dick in this one. Writers trying too much to cater To fans rather than focus on what makes him an intriguing character and as such Leonard on had to put up with his ******** and still try to be a good brother and leader. He came out of it better even though they tried to make raph the badass

Raph- IDW....... A really balanced version, nihilistic at times, grumpy, antagonistic but loving and prepared to concede when he is wrong

Don- original cartoon.......toss up between him an raph but went with don, loveable and smart

Mikey- nick series......some find him annoying and he can be but this is the first time the material he has had to work with has actually been funny. An essential part when writing for a comic relief character....mirage was close for his clunk relationship

Casey- mirage.......borderline psychotic but tortured. Snapping one minute and brotherly the next, very Interesting

Splinter-........2003? Didn't watch it much to be fair but I'm needing to use 2003 for something ha

April- first movie....nice balance of tough and scared. Welcoming and friendly with the turtles
