What exactly is Dimension X?
 

Some episodes make it seem like Dimension X is another dimension, others just make it seem like Dimension X is just a huge galaxy in space consisting of millions of worlds.

I actually think Dimension X is really just an entire galaxy as we've seen the turtles travel there and to planets that are comprised of it.

via a dimensional portal every time. It was a galaxy only in the Archie books.

Now that's a familiar sounding question!

Reposted from my earlier take:

... There can be galaxies and planets in other dimensions.

using transwarp thrusters. :P

Ah, I didn't catch that point...

:-?

I know that "trans-" means "across". I have to assume that they're using the SMB definition of "warp" though (a portal to a later part of the game).

So, my point was that the show never definitively suggested anything other than it being an alternate universe as it couldn't be traveled to w/o a transdimensional somethingorother. With the handful of times "dimensional barriers" were referenced, I'm entirely confident that this was how it was intended to be perceived.

It's always possible that the warps are just to save travel distance too. But yes since they call it Dimension X, and there are definitely other dimensions in the show, it most likely is not part of the Earth's universe.

When I hear "Dimension X" I always think of another universe, sort of. So I'd say that's what I believe DX is.

I think Dimension X is a deminsion, not some distant galaxy, but thats jst my opinion.:ohwell:

Well someone already linked my thread, but this was also discussed later in this thread in the comic section:

I actually have a wild theory that Krang from Archie is the same Krang from the OT. Krang is from Dimension X the galaxy IN Dimension Dimension X. Not meant to be taken too seriously but yeah.


Anyways as for the actual question, I've already questioned this a few times and in the OT it's actually never contradicted that it is in another dimension, so I guess Dimension X really is a dimension with different worlds as shown in the OT, not that it's a galaxy like in Archie.

From the TMNT Universe Sourcebook:

I always thought Dimension X was a completely different dimension. I noticed outer space in Dimension X is red instead of black.

Also in the cartoon Dimension X has a breathable atmosphere as well.

Oh man, how awesome is Wikipedia? :D

This is exactly what I think. I don't recall there ever being a single time that anyone ever traveled to or from Dimension X without the use of some sort of dimensional portal.

Asteroid
 

On the asteroid, yes. But that asteroid seams to have an atmosphere (with a lake). And the neutrinos would use some roof in space, like underwater at the Atlantic Ocean on Earth in one episode.

They should do a Robot Chicken episode where it turns out Dimension X actually exists in Meg Griffin's rear end.

A dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind?

Radio
 

And the name is probably borrowed from a 1950-1951 radio science fiction show

There is also this 1994 book

(which could at least be a TMNT reference)
