I remember all those characters from my childhood, but even growing up I got a little tired of seeing the bad guys loose all the time. I would have liked to see Bebop & Rocksteady have been a little more dangerous & a little less stupid (intilectually that is). I honestly think they had the combined IQ of a slice of toast. I think the only time the two of them actually posed a temporary threat was one of the earlier episodes when Rocksteady always wore his helmet & goggles. All those characters were cool, but basically exist in an alternate universe then the one that is currently be constructed out of the new show.

YEAH, mutants kick ass. If not on the cartoon, then in the toyline. I mean, the old toyline had a whole crapload of non-cartoon characters made into action figures & they sold well. If they hadn't have sold well, then Playmates would have stopped making them at the start.
I always enjoyed the origin story's too, they kicked ass. I was disapointed one time, when Shredder mutated some bugs into giant bugs & none of them were Needlenose or Killer Bee. :X
This new show is more like the original comic book stuff, which isn't a bad thing. Lots of cool, crazy crap happened in the original comics. In this new show, since mutagen doesn't exist & thus isn't the stuff that can magically make a mutant in seconds, I think we'd see more once-animal-now-humanoid mutants in the show.
Like, the turtles weren't the only mutant animals in the comic book- Leatherhead was created by the Utroms aswell, so it's possible the toyline could make up some story to have other animals the utroms mutated.
Hey, if they can make variant figures fit into the story, they should have no problem with new characters.
Basically, I wanna see mutant animal action figures, alien action figures, robot action figures & ninja action figures in this new line. If it's going to be like the 80's comic book, then it should have alla that stuff in the toyline too.
Or at least a new in-scale Leatherhead figure. If we can get that, I'll be able to die a quasi-happy snailman. :D
