Tatsu,Rahzr,and Tokka-where did they originate?
 

Were they from the comics or created specifically for the first two films? Let me know if you know,thanks! :)

As far as I can tell, Tatsu and the two mutants were pretty much loosely based off of Krang, Rocksteady and Bebop.

Heh I remember in grade school kids would say it was really Krang inside of Tatsu, etc LOL.

:lol: I never thought of it that way! Thanks,guys! :)

But wait...when was the second movie released in relationship to the first episode of the cartoon? Just wondering...

It was released about 3 years after the cartoon began.

AH, OK. And, sicne the TMNT had gained such a large younge audience, having mutants was the way to go.

Now, the question is this: Where did the idea of KRANG come from? The utrons? if so, why changed so drastically? to make shredder more of a "team player" of the baddies rather than a warlord from the first movie?

He was definatley originated from the ideas of the Utroms, but I think he was changed simply as a vehicle for more things to happen in the plot. IOW, a peaceful race of aliens didn't have as many story possibilties as a manial brain creature from Dimension X. As for Shredder, I think they made him "nicer" simply because the movie or comic version of him might have been too scary.

Was Dimension X an original idea for the cartoon? as with the technodrome?

I think they were,but I'm not sure. :-? Any help anyone?

well, krang was an idea for the show, and the technodrome is his i guess? so maybe...anyone???

Krang was an idea made specifically made for the cartoon as was the technodrome. Dimension X I'm not sure about though.

No dimesnison X in mirage...

I think you're pretty much correct. I remember reading somewhere that the movie producers wanted to use Rocksteady and Bebop in the second movie but Peter and Kevin told them there was no way they were letting them in the movie. So.. Tokka & Rahzar were created.

Aww man is that reason stupid Laird & Eastman,. I Wanted Rocksteady & Bebop!!!!

:sweatdro:

bebop and rocksteady
 

I must be clueless to some obvious reason...why wouldn't they want Bebop and Rocksteady in the second movie?! That would have been the greatest!! :D

Well the second movie was so bad that Rocksteady and bebop wouldn't have made it any worse.

The Second movie wasn't that bad Karpo

Yes, it was... :P
