If the turtles never met Splinter
 

how do you think they would have turned out? I doubt that they would be ninjas. Maybe someone would have taken advantage of them and used them for criminal purposes. Or what if someone like Shredder found them first?

Or is there an alternate scenario you would like to see in an episode or comic book?

If Splinter hadnt found them, they probably would have died. There's plenty of critters in the sewers that could have made an easy meal of them... :cry:

I think the RatKing would've found them eventually and raised them as professional thieves but still sort of good guys, kinda like Robin Hood. They would steal from the rich and give to the poor or something.. I don't know!! Quit askin me these hard questions!! :P

i think (including that they had still been in contact with mutagen) they would have mutated into giant turtles instead of human-like turtles.

ummmmmmmmm guys first off, didn't shredder purposly pour the ooze down the drain and even if he had/hadn't know Hamato was in the sewers the ooze still would of gone where it had orginally gone, but so that means splinter wouldn't have found them so the wouldn't of ben mutated
end of story bye bye
P.S. if anything didn't make since its cause i just woke up.

yeah but that's just old toon....in the comics and movie and new show the TMNT and splinty are all accidents. so the tmnt would just probably have roamed the sewers...i think they would have eventually ran in to splinter....and maybe even got their shells shellacked and then they'd at least be friends, if not master and students, father and sons....

thats interesting, anything could have happened of course.
what if nobody found them and they grew up intelligent like they are but didn't learn anything educational like reading and all that. They'd probably have their survival instincts more developed and distrust anyone.

If shredder found em, i think raph would have taken after him.

if scientists found them they'd have been lab rat.

or if a zoo..well, they'd be an exhibit.

Thank goodness Splinter found them.

damn that is the scariest avatar I've ever seen...let's commence a jigglin...

I'd have to agree that without Splinter they'd be dead. Though the one about there instincts being more fine tuned sounds plausible too. But I doubt it...

maybe if they never met splinter, all the toy variations are what they could have been, actors- star trek turtles, musicians - heavy metal raph... and so on

Heck more like Under Corver Don, Raph The Magnificient, Wrestling Mike, and Cave Man Leo.

i think that some bum would find them and sell them to the carnival and they would be the main atraction come and see the mutated turtles and the elephant women!

I know Brinatello actually posted a fanfic/dream about this on her website. It was pretty entertaining to say the least.

IMO, I think they would've just developed their intelligence over time. Maybe if they were the ones who had found that Renisaunce artbook, they would've given themse;ves the same names.

the first thing I thought of when I read the title of this thread was: Teenage Mutant Wrestling Turtles :lol: dunno why

well i think that that albino alligator would of eaten raph and leo if no1 found them at all. theres so many ways this can go, rat king finding them, shredder finding them, a homless person fidning them, them finding splinter but becomeing enemys. or they could of just died all 2gether from not being able to find edible food.

Or what if Harry the Con Man found them and used them as his "lucky break"

they would probably just die no food i dont think turtles can live in the sewers...
