What was the point of the technodrome?
 

The stupid thing never worked most of the time and most of the episodes where about finding fuel or getting it unstuck. For a massive war fortress the thing was pretty useless. Krang and Shredder never had enough power to keep it running and it was falling apart most of the time. Why did the creators even bother having the technodrome in the story if they couldn't even have it work half the time?

it's a mobile fortress, filled with alien technology to conquer worlds, and bring doomsday.

It only needed a oil check

Because it was a cartoon... dah.
And it was made in early 90´s and it still smell like the 80´s.

If the Technodrome was constantly operational, it would just smash through cities and the Turtles would have to stop it again, just like they did in the Season 3 finale.

I also think that's the running joke. Shredder/Krang had a huge battle machine that couldn't do anything and got constantly stuck underground, in Dimension X, in the Arctic, underwater, in a blackhole, and where it wound up at the end of the show.

Or, it was made in the 80s, and continued into the 90s.

The point of the Technodrome?

Its awesome. That's its point.

Precisely. It was a pretty good idea, I'd say. Also, it makes sense for Krang to display a certain amount of caution about the Technodrome (which he does quite often), seeing as it is pretty much the only bastion of his once vast empire left to him.

The Technodrome was the death star of the TMNT universe, lethal force but needed a lot of power, when operational it was the biggest threat the turtles could ever face.

The point was to have it available for Turtles Forever. Fred Wolf was psychic that way. :P

If it was ever used to its 100% capacity, the show would have ended then and there. Plus it's an awesome and unique villian hideout.

What was the point to having the shire in The Hobbit?

Because the Shredder and Krang needed somewhere to live.:o

Haha this is quite true.

It was tough **** in the video games.

Stockholm Globe Arena
 

Or the Stockholm Globe Arena, see http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fil:Globen_aug_1988.jpg

(actually, construction begun in 1986 and it wasn't completed until February 1989 and it's inspired by a golf ball, but i think the TMNT should visit Sweden during the Vacation in Europe episodes and mistake it)

Haha, that would be awesome, actually! I've been to Stockholm and seen the Globen. Totally the Technodrome, without the big creepy eye of course. ;) I actually have a pic I took of it from Kaknäs Tower:

So, who's gonna photoshop that into the drome? :D

Yeah, someone did it last time so someone's gotta do it again! :D

yes! amen :tcool:

exactly.

i dunno why but i have a love affair with the Technodrome! i just love it! it's so awesome

Anyone who has the time/talent has permission to do it with my pic if they'd like! I'd love to see that. :tlol: If I wasn't in the middle of a move I'd take a crack at it myself.

You mean by having a missile carry it to another dimension on it's warhead and defying all laws of physics? Ya might want to use a better example than that :P
