Do you think shredder will become a mutant ? And how would you react if he mutates ?
 

I think that it's better that he is the only human character in the show who is able to stand against powerful mutants like Leatherhead. And mutating him would be infering that his strength alone cannot stop Splinter and the turtles. So, I wouldn't want a mutant shredder on the show. What do you think ? Also state the reason why you think the way you do.

why should he mutate anyway? Nothing leads up to that guess. I am sure he is better off being a human being. He is already strong as hell, no need for a mutation to double that.

Bishop from the 2k3 toon was capable of fighting on par with mutants even while unarmed, assuming that aspect of him doesn't change too much in this series, we could still have a human who can go head to mutants long after the Shredder mutates.

Do I want it to happen? No.

Do I think it will happen. Quite possibly. Odds are by now 50/50.

How will I react? By spraining my eyes from rolling them too hard.

Considering the tons of mutants popping up, it's pretty obvious Shredder is going to mutate, most likely into Super Shredder. Outside the Fred Wolf era, he's really had no appearances, just about four games, an action figure, and SOTO. However, given the current events in season 3, there's no way he'll mutate.

Shredder has clearly demonstrated he can be a fierce opponent despite the writing making his power vary, especially from Serpent Hunt to Clash of the Mutanimals. He can stand his ground very easily and as the only human based villain barring Hun, who hasn't left an impact yet, it would take away the special value here. Keeping him human gives Shredder his own identity as the big bad of the franchise.

However, I do want him to mutate, but not yet. The only appropriate time he can transform is near the end of the show's run, probably as the final antagonist. When Shredder becomes a Super Shredder, it should be a near fight to the death just like the Turtles first major win soon. Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey should have shown considerable growth in strength by then, using everything they have as a team to win (think the Mirage Comics with their first fight with Shredder). It would make for a significant end to the show for that to happen.

Who knew Karai was going to mutate into a snake ? You never know what might happen.

Considering we already have proof he does, this thread's kinda redundant.

Except we did know she was going to be mutated given the toyline kinda spoiled it.

Not a good analogy there.

As for what my reaction would be? Meh, whatever, I just want to see him go down sooner. Especially if he does it willingly for the belief he'll be invincible once mutated.

^^^ But we have some spoilers now from the clips that have been popping up. He's gonna mutate (either accidentally or on purpose) after the time travel episodes.

How do you explain the title 'Attack of the Mega Shredder?" ;)

I saw the clip, and it was a robot shredder, not a mutant.

Not that one, this one:

THAT is Mega-Shredder, and that ain't no robot. 8)

That's a toy commercial, bruh. Nothing to do with the show.

That thing looks like a kraang thing, considering the color of its face.

Should it..? Nah.

If he did though, it could be a way to end his part in the show. Hard to defeat him by killing him in a "kid's show," so mutation that really screws with his head might be what does him in. At least for a while.

Or mutate him with something embarrassing for him, like a poodle, so he goes into hiding.

Woah! That was, wow... How do I even respond to this? How do I even describe it?

The closest I can think of is that it's like the Tetsuo blob from Akira with X-Men Spiral's arms and Godzilla's spines, and even then I feel I should go on to describe it in further detail.

The consensus right now is that Shredder & his mutant henchmen (well, Baxter, Rahzar, & Fishface, anyway) are all mutated into one grotesque monster. Kraang influence has come up as well.

So in that case I'm not really seeing them getting unfused, I guess that would be... An interesting way of cleaning out old characters...

Not like it hasn't before though.

Actually, I think that's gonna be their way of de-mutating his whole rogues gallery at once. Splash the beast with retro-mutagen & boom, now you've got Xever, Bradford, etc all back in their human form, no longer freakish slaves to Saki.

It's possible, but somehow this feels too much like a fatal swan song for the guys (at least the henchmen.) Shredder might survive in a degraded form to bring back later (one last time) but the three henchmen guys I think are done. Especially since the show looks like it's moving towards what looks like new baddies (the Triceratons and Dimension X guys) and maybe later Agent Bishop and the anti-mutant stuff. Hanging on to these guys (besides Shredder) would feel redundant, especially since the three henchmen haven't really been effective fighters for a while now.

That's exactly my my point though...

If they're de-mutated, they no longer have to hide/rely on Shredder for survival & can escape his clutches, which would be their exit from the series altogether, presumably.

Assuming things go this way, they're not gonna get killed off, they'll just bail.

Isn't Bradford Loyal to Shredder because he's his master and isn't Xever loyal because he was bailed out of prison by Shredder?

They wouldn't bail. Baxter might, but not Xever and Bradford. Bradford is too loyal to want to leave, and Shredder always holds the threat of returning Xever to jail if he ever tried to leave. Plus Shredder has money and connections that Xever needs to maintain his gang ties.

Too much says they'd stay after de-mutation.

Edit: Ninjaed by Ninturtle. But yeah, they wouldn't bail.

Bruuuuuuh if Shredder does this himself, says f**k it all & combines himself with them without any regard for their well being, do you really think they'd be loyal to him if they came out of it alive? No way! Besides, just because there's history with him doesn't mean they value the relationship they have with their abusive master more than they do their long lost humanity. Rahzar & Fishface have already been replaced by Bebop & Rocksteady anyway, & my guess is they'll be all The Shredder is left with, assuming he survives this & they play some part in things.

I mean really, the second they become humans again, they'd see no reason to stay. They're loyal to him because as mutants they have no other choice. He gives them a place to stay, & missions through which to get their anger out. If he's down & out, pulling sh*t like this as a last ditch effort, his post-mutiny resources would be limited at best, so I doubt they'd be concerned.

I understand what you both are saying. They are loyal to shredder. However, when asked by Raphael why he was evil, what did he say ?

He responded by saying that a job where he gets to crack skulls every day pleased him, not “I am too loyal to shredder". And fish face has taken too many beatings from Shredder, especially in "the legend of the kuro kabuto ", to stay loyal to him if he were to turn human again.

There are so many reasons why Rhazar would betray Shredder.

1.Bradford was treated badly by Shredder when he was Dogpound.

2. Shredder didn't care about his mutation. He just thought his mutation form had his advantages in “ panic in the sewers".

Anyway this thread is about Shredder, not the others. You haven't given your opinion ninturtle.

Bradford I could see remaining loyal if that's the situation. Xever, no.

This - 100%

Before they mutated Karai, I really believed that there were limits to who was "mutatable". Now, nothing would surprise me. No human is safe.

Can you link the clip?

Robot Shredder was from a toy commercial, Jesus Christ.
