I'll kick off the tiebreaker:

TB: Mikey gets Shellacne

Because of the fact that it tricked us into thinking its a filler episode before airing? And that Dogpound mutated into Razar?

No Contest. The Good The Bad and The Casey Jones Hands Down!

As a Raph fan, it was a waste to see Raph as a Krang and much much more interesting to see Raph and Casey's relationship develop in The Good The Bad and Casey Jones as well as all the little nods to the movie and 2k3 series.

Tiebreaker: Newtralized!

TB Newtralized. Not enough Raph badass episodes, and this was one of the very few, and it also finally makes Slash more of a friend than a foe, not to mention, I like Slash, I don't like Rahzar, and think he was wasted since he was mutated in Shellacne anyways.

And I chose The Good, The Bad and Casey Jones. I kind of hated Plan 10, it was just another "lets turn Raph into something else" scenario that I am getting sick of.

I went with Plan 10. It was really funny to me and I liked that Kraang in Raph's body. Raph as a Kraang was cool too. And the "squee" was so cute and he slapped Casey and Mikey as a Kraang. And I love Casey's laugh.

The main part I liked of the other ep was everything leading up to Raph and Casey. After that part it was so-so to me. Raph and Casey chasing down the Footbots was boring to me for some reason. I was entertained all the way through with Plan 10.

TB: Shellacne.

I voted Plan 10.

I just didn't like Casey Jones in the other episode. Hell, I just don't like 2012 Casey Jones, he's obnoxious.

Tie Breaker: Shellacne.

Easy choice. The Good, The Bad, & Casey Jones is essentially Raph's one-shot, just like how The Invasion incorporated Leo's one-shot in this series.

Plan 10 is pretty much just a filler if not because of the very last part, when the first sketch of Turtle Mech was revealed.

TB: Mikey Gets Shellacne

The Casey episode, duh?

Plan 10 is a body switch episode without much consequence, it's cliché and skippable. The Casey episode fully introduced Casey as a vigilante and partially an adaptation of the Raphael Micro, it wins hands down.

TB: Shellacne. Stirred up more for the overall plot of the season than Newtralized.

I picked The Good, The Bad, and Casey Jones since we got an intro to the real Casey Jones (one of the few times he's not a complete moron is this epidode), badass fighting, specifically with Raph and Casey, and an overall great character episode for Raph. Too bad Casey's too focused on April instead of Raph. Would've liked to see more of that friendship.

Plan 10 went nowhere. It was really just a filler episode with something of substance thrown in near the end. We will most likely never see the Kraang use the mind-switching machine again since there's really no point in really using it (wth happened to the invasion they've been planning for months now in this episode?). It had a good laugh here and there, but it was mostly a bunch of missed jokes. The action was nicely done as usual, though.

I'll go with The Good, The Bad and Casey Jones, cause I like seeing Raph trashed Casey's body like a ragdoll (he can hold himself too no sweat). Casey's rollerblade is cool too, an unprecendented gear for him.2003 Casey is waaay more obnoxious and plain doofus imo.

The way I see it (from best to worst):
1. OT Casey
2. 2k12 Casey
3. Live action Casey
4. 2k7 Casey
5. 2k3 Casey (aka retarded)

Tie Breaker: Shellacne.

I pick The Good, The Bad and The Casey Jones

Tie breaker
Mikey Gets Shellacne

The Good, The Bad and Casey Jones for me. Really good Raph episode, beats any filler of him.

TB: Mikey gets Shellacne (Duh. :P)
