Will Shredder remain human?
 

So I've taken notice, Shredder is the only human left in the Foot Clan.

It's funny because tradionally speaking Shredder is usually the one who winds up not human, there's Worm-Shredder, Shark-Shredder, Super-Shredder, Utrom-Shredder, Demon-Shredder, Robot-Shredder, Zombie-Shredder, Iron-Shredder, Dragon-Shredder and Fly-Shredder. There was even a Tricaraton-Shredder planned.

So will he remain human or what?

I'm saying yes. That's more of a hope than anything else, but I'd like to think they'll keep him that way. If anything, I could see him becoming a ghost or something, but even then, he'd still sorta be human.

I'm also leaning towards yes, he will stay human. I can't really see why they'd mutate him. He's already kinda grotesque looking with his scars, burns and all but more importantly, depending on what he'd turn into, just how much stronger would that make him? And besides, I feel with Karai's mutation they already crossed a line.

And honestly, I can't see him being dump enough to fall into a canister of mutagen.

Gonna go with yes. Please never change, 2012 Shredder. I like you just the way you are.

Assuming yes, need him for the human numbers. (Not that us humans are so special that we have to be involved all the time... lol)

Besides, he's such a nutcase it's like he's already mentally mutated. ;)

I hope he becomes mutated honestly, but into an animal or something and not Super Shredder.:)

I honestly don't know. It's possible because this series has only 4 characters (Casey Jones, Irma Langinstein, Kurtzman, and Shredder) that haven't mutated, been mutated, or at least haven't been confirmed to be mutants.

Aside from the "tradition" argument, I think it would make sense for Shredder to get some kind of power boost as it seems like a Skeleton-Wolfman, Venomous Cyborg-Carp and a damn Tiger could easily overthrow him if they so desired.

Good point, although maybe that threat could be part of his storyline sooner or later.

I'm on the fence....I would be totally ok with him not mutating but........let's say maybe he wanted to try mutating with an animal that has regenerative capabilities so he could heal his scars or something. Something tells me Shredder ain't the superficial type though...

A Lizard? He could be like Curt Connors in a samurai helmet.

Looking from a list of natural enimes of rats, here are some other options:
A Cat
An Owl
A Spider
A Scorpion
A Snake

As For natural enemies of turtles:
An Alligator
A Cyote
A Dog
A Cat
A Raccoon (no really)
An Otter
A Shark
A Seagull
A Crab

Hopefully I'm not alone here, but I actually wouldn't mind seeing him turn into some kind of volatile mutant beast and attack the Turtles in that form. I'm not saying I want that to happen, but I think it'd be cool to see. But will they actually do that to him? I'm guessing no.

I am considering it. Maybe if the kraang gives me some retro mutagen i might mutate and then use it to turn back to human.

Only if it is his final battle with the turtles.

I'm betting he'll either be mutated or brought back from the dead.

I can see him becoming Super Shredder, but I don't think he'll become an animal mutant.

I hope so. Super Shredder would be cool though.

I've always liked the look of Super Shredder.
Yeah, he'd be cool alright. I gotta say I also love the idea of an overripe Shredder back from the dead.

Even if whole NYC mutates, I hope Shredder stays human.
