Archie characters in the Nick series, is it possible and how would you feel about it?
 

I heard that the creators didn't want to use characters from the IDW comics in the series so i was wondering was there also an embargo against having characters from the Archie comics appear in the show as well. I hope not, i'd like to see Archie TMNT characters like Armaggon, Ninjara, and Hothead in the 2k12 series i mean the show already pulls characters from the FW and (if Hun's inclusion is any indication) the 2003 cartoon so why not comics?

There's no embargo, it's just that both creative teams (IDW & Nick) wanted to make an effort to keep their versions separate & unique that they'd be judged for their own merits rather than one doing something/someone better than the other. Granted IDW now has Pigeon Pete, but that's it for now. Anyway, I'm sure it's possible & that they'll do them justice. Snake got word from Ciro at NYCC that we'd get Armaggon at some point, so there's that. Like you, I'd love to see Hothead, too.

Armaggon is coming, but I'd love to see forever war come in the form of the Nick cartoon.

Isn't Mondo Gecko originally from Archie comics? He's coming soon.

Previously Michelangelo wanted to call Kirby bat Wingnut, but it was quickly shot down by Donatello.

Also Casey Jones called Tiger Claw "cat man dude" at one point, clearly referencing Katmandu.

It's entirely possible for more Archie comics stuff to be used the Nick series going forward. They agreed not to cross IDW stuff because it's still ongoing, while they don't have this limitation with Archie comics because it is no longer ongoing.

Ninjara.

Null would also be pretty sweet. I know there's some big thing about who he was "really" supposed to be and I wanna know already. Andrew knows I think but he won't tell me. :tgrumble:

Null represents Gary Richardson.

Well that's a pretty big letdown, honestly. :lol:

Thanks for the reply, at least. I sent like, several PMs about it. Like, every time he pointed out that he knew but was "saving" the information for whatever reason. Should'a expected as much from someone who ain't down with Nash.

Well there may very well be a deeper meaning to the character in-story, which could be what Andrew is/was hinting at, but if the 'something more' is in reference his creation/inspiration, there's your answer.

I really think this show needs the Mighty Mutanimals (is that how you spell it?). With all the "MOTW" episodes going on it's really possible to have a large gang of them and have them band together during City At War, if this show does it with Slash, Snake Karai or Leatherhead as the leader of the team.

Actually I think it might be that other thing. It always bothered meeeeee.

I'd be fine with it - it'd be great to see Ninjara.

Mondo Gecko and Wingnut aren't Archie originals, They appeared as either a toy first, or in the Fred Wolf Series.

Wingnut's first Archie appearance was in TMNT Adventures #8 (February, 1990):

His first OT appearance was in Zach and the Alien Invaders (first aired November 23, 1991)

Mondo Gecko's first Archie appearance was in TMNT Adventures #18 (March, 1991):

His first OT appearance was in Michelangelo Meets Mondo Gecko (first aired September 21, 1991)

I'm not familiar with the release date of the toys, maybe you can enlighten me on that :trazz:

That would be cool if they did that, And show the future Turtles as adults, Maybe Mezcaal would show up as well? Who knows.

The figures came out circa 1990. So maybe it was before the comic appearances maybe not. Maybe you're right. I have no idea how to find about what day their figures hit shelves in 1990.

Well, Ninjara soul have an ugly duckling story relating to Shredder's mutant army. She'd be a tiny, ugly reject led to rot in Chris Bradford's old dojo. Raph meets her on a mission, and they form a bond. Eventually, "Cubbie" protects Raphael and falls into a can of mutagen. Then she undergoes secondary nutation into the Ninjara we're familiar with.

Since Minae Noji (who played Karai in the 2014 movie) was confirmed to be voicing a character in the show, i was wondering could her mystery character be Ninjara? I'm not familiar with all incarnations of TMNT so are there any other notable female Asian characters in the TMNT series besides Ninjara that her mystery character could be?

I don't know of any other female asian characters from TMNT other then, Lotus Blossom from the original series.

I believe she was the influence behind Karai.

Pretty sure Karai came first.

I've always imagined Old Hob (even though he's not in the show) to lead a group that consists of Newtralizer, Slash and Leatherhead.
Snakeweed and Spider Bytes I can live without.
