Best Version of Baxter Stockman?
 
Which version is best? You decide! :rolling::flaming::thyper:

Note: Based on the 3 major TMNT cartoons.

IDW has the best version, but 4kids is my runner up.

Baxter's been consistantly good in anything.

My favourite is definitely the Nick series one, just a great, funny character.

Really, super hate the 2003 version. Don't recall much of him from the original cartoon. I remember him, but not much.

But the Nick version is great, so him.

I'm going with 2k3.

I second that. The Nick Baxter has no backbone, and the FredWolf Baxter was race-lifted and didn't even act like a villain in his debut episode.

1987 Baxter is entertaining enough, but I hate it when characters are whitewashed and I've always liked the roboticist angle a lot more than him being yet another mutant enemy. Pretty mixed on him.

2003 Baxter I like a lot. He's cartoonishly arrogant, though his ranting got irritating at times, but he's overall pretty on-point with the Mirage original. The ongoing torture/dismemberment by Hun was surprisingly dark for a kids' cartoon, and his changing robot forms kept him visually interesting.

2012 Baxter's not bad either. Nice to have Phil Lamarr in the role. Not a bad mix between the '87 version and the original Mirage, but he hasn't been used to his full potential yet, and I could have done without the fly mutation again.

2003 wins for me.

I am really surprised with all the hate or lack of love for the FW cartoon. I always loved Batxter in the FW cartoon when I was younger and in the video games. But rewatching the series gives me a greater appreciation for the 2k3 series Baxter.

IndigoErth 01-06-2015 09:53 AM

Gotta go with the current series version.

To me, '87 was just "meh" and '03 was kind of irritating after a short time.

My non-vote goes to the IDW Baxter Stockman. Thus far he has remained human and seeing him working loosely with Krang instead of Shredder is interesting. Curious to see what becomes of his character even if its a Flyborg.

Runner up would be the classic Baxter The Fly from Ninja Turtles (1987).

I want to like the new guy, but I have little tolerance for bumbling incompetence in my villains.

Mew 01-06-2015 10:28 AM

Yeah, Baxter needs to man up in the new cartoon, but it is his personality.

D Piddy 1982 01-06-2015 10:33 AM

Probably just nostalgia, but I like the FW Baxter the best, both human and fly form.

The fly figure from this series was a pretty awesome figure too!

Bumbling incompetence. My favourite kind of villain, led by a genius frustrated by those around him!

IDW might have passed 2K3 as my favorite, but of the current options I'll pick 2003.

DarkFell 01-06-2015 01:26 PM

Going with FW Stockman. 2k3 Stockman and 2012 Stockman never grew on me quite like '87 Baxter / Baxterfly did.

Powder 01-06-2015 01:46 PM

IDW's Baxter is my favorite, but of the toons I gotta give it to 4kids for Scott Williams alone. One hell of a voice actor.

MsMarvelDuckie 01-06-2015 06:01 PM

I voted for the 4Kids/2K3 version, as I really liked him as a character, but if I could've picked two, I'd take the OT one as a tie. I always liked his sycophantic, bumbling personality, and he was a lot of fun. Nick's Baxter is okay, I guess, he just hasn't quite grown on me like his predecessors did. And I'll ad IDW as a close second.

blindturtle02 01-06-2015 09:39 PM

I wanted to pick both 2k3 and Nick but managed to stick with 2k3 only because they sure managed to do a lot with him in that show. That version went through so much more than a mutation but he still managed to come out on top in the end. Even when Shredder was absent for a bit in 2 for instance, he still managed to make things messy for the turtles. I love Nick's Stockman about the same, but we still haven't seen the whole series so I think I'll wait to see where they go with him. I love all of his episodes so far, especially Lonely Mutation.

Luckyday 01-06-2015 10:54 PM

Hmm 2k3 Baxter Stockman, because the guy still manages to have a up beat attitude even after getting eye and limb taken away and even had the gull to cross his boss twice.:lol:
