Scratch or Old Hob
 

So a friend and I were talking about old OT characters who should be brought back, and toy only characters who should be given a chance and this led to a conversation about Scratch and Old Hob. Now, I know next to nothing about either character, but personally I'd like to see Scratch appear because of his infamously coveted action figure, but I know fans of the new comic series would probably prefer Old Hob.

So, if the Nick show could have only one cat-themed villain, which would you guys want more to be on the show?

I should also note I don't know if there are any plans for either character to show up, but you can never tell with this show :trazz:

If they did then I hope he be more of a interesting character then the one in the IDW version.

The concept of Scratch is stupid, even as a toy. He's a mutant cat so they made him into a "cat burgler" wearing prison stripes. Glad he was never in the old show, just another one of Playmates failed mutants like Monty Moose and Half Court.

If the OT writers thought these characters were too stupid to appear in the cartoon, why would the Nick writers want them?

I agree with what you said about Scratch's motif; he's incredibly cheesy, but that's sort of his appeal to me. As for the Nick writers, I have no reason to why they would want to put him in the show, but I remember hearing that Mutagen Man was a favorite figure of one of the writers or creators for this show and that's why they wanted him to appear in it. Maybe the same will be the case for other toy-only characters down the line for this show (though I hope they start focusing more on the Foot Clan the further we go into the series).

If even for a cameo or something I think it'd be fun to see Scratch.

I'd prefer to see Scratch. Get a prisoner who breaks outta jail, befriends an alley cat, is an innocent bystander to a battle between Mutagen Man & the turtles & he's splashed with ooze in the process. Boom. Becomes a bad guy thinking that the turtles were ultimately responsible for his mutation.

Sounds like a fun episode to me :D
