Do you think the human Foot Soldiers will return?
 

So apparently the Foot-bots are being used now in most episodes. The difference is the Foot-bots aren't any better at stopping the Turtles than the normal Foot were, essentially making the "upgrade" feel a bit pointless.

Do you think we'll see the return of the human Foot, and perhaps Elite Foot, later in the season?

Doubtful. Apparently they're 'supposed' to be better than the human ones, so why bring back weaker enemies? Plus, the turtles can go nuts on em since they're robots, so why bring back the human ones to make the censors hold back again?

Well if/when the Shredder and the Krang are no longer allies then how long will they be able to maintain the robots after there fights with the turtles. Also once Baxter gets mutated I doubt he will help Shredder as well.

Well the turtles can't use their weapons directly on mutants either so what's the difference? Or against Karai.

Exactly. So why get the rid of the one kind of enemy they actually CAN use their weapons on? That would be stupid.

No. They don't need too. The Robot ones are pretty much identical and are more of a threat anyway.

Maybe Shredder will bring back some hardcore ninja from Japan to use as Foot Elite.

I hope not. The robotic foot allow for more action and are so much better. Plus the four arms are cool.

they aren't pointless~

now the turtles can slash and cut and stab without worrying!!!

more action! yaaaaayyy :D

Human soldiers are weak.

Didn't Shredder himself said to Bradford in "Pulverizer Returns" : "You promised me an army of the most lethal and deadliest ninjas you could find, but the Turtles have decimated them! The ones who are left aren't even worthy to wear the emblem of the Foot".

From the way Shredhead said it, it seems as though there was barely even a Foot clan left at that point. So no, I'm not expecting them to make a comeback.

No. Why bring back the weaker ones when the robo ones are better?

You guys did watch the last episode where the Robot Foot were easily defeated right? Even Casey and April could handle them.

I hope so, I hate robot foot soldiers. An evil leader who has actual people who believe in his cause and he has talked into working for him makes him seem far more real and far more powerful than a guy who just leads mindless robots.
The robot foot soldiers seem pretty easy to defeat now anyway, almost as bad as in the 80s toon so might as well go back to real Ninjas.

And you honestly think the humans would have fared much better? Go home Cyber, you're drunk.

And go back to having the Turtles pull their punches for censorship reasons? Hell no.

Human Foot are a hell of a lot better than robots. Hopefully after shredder sees how useless the Foot bots were he'll go back to having a human clan.

Why would he go back to human?

yeah... let's ditch the useless robots and use even more useless humans. Smart move.

On the other hand, Shredder could bring some newly designed Japanese branch of the Foot, since the Foot we see here is mostly Bradford's NYC branch. Could be a good excuse for a new toy.

I wouldn't mind seeing maybe a Foot Elite. But other than that, no, robots should stay. At least they have an excuse to actually fare well in battle and to get away with any violence the turtles can dish out on them.

Because the foot Clan is about humans. Not robots. How can Shredder lead an empire of mindless machines?

This isn't like the OT where Shredder lived in the Technodrome and had no ties to anyone outside Krang.
