Robots that can fight, please
 
I really like that the Turtles have the Kraang to fight, because they can use their weapons properly. It's just that the Kraangs' lack of hand-to-hand skill makes the fights a little one-sided once the TMNT get close in. What I like with the Foot Clan is that they can fight in melee to at least some degree... but then the Turtles can't cut them because they're human. We currently only have Snakeweed who both provides a close up challenge and can be cut.

Thus, I'd like Robots that can fight, please. Maybe the Kraang and Foot collaborate or maybe it's reinforcements from Dimension X, but I want one of two things. Either, Kraang with robot bodies optimised for melee, or wholly synthetic melee robots. That way, we'd have (what I feel is) fully satisfying hand-to-hand combat where the Turtles don't have to fight 4-on-1.

It's one of the only things I'd add to the show if I could.

The Kraang's android bodies weren't made for fighting, just for transportation. That's why they carry around their laser blasters. I do agree that the fights are a little one sided, but it doesn't really bother me as we haven seen that (when in numbers) the Kraang can still be dangerous, like in "It Came From The Depths"...if it weren't for Leatherhead, the turtles wouldn't have been able to defeat all of those Kraang droids.

EDIT: Besides we had Baxter in his robot suit :P

Ms. Campbell from that one episode.

I would like the Kraang to stop shooting like Stormtroopers.

Well, part of what I want is a good, dismember-y fight that's not 4-on-1 :tsmile:

well for me, when i saw that scene on pulverizer returns, where shredder is wanting to get more competent foot soldiers and wanting to steal kraang technology and/or work with his captive kraang, i kinda got the feeling that we'll be seeing robot foot soldiers in future episodes. it has definitely got potential to go into that direction.

Here's hoping it does.
