So whatever happened to Mutagen Man.
 

I'm almost done rewatching season and it got me thinking, whatever happened to the Mutagen Man after the invasion?

The last we saw of him was Donnie abandoning him during the retreat, saying that he'd thaw out sooner or later. When we get back to lair it turns out the Kraang planted a drone that kills any living thing there.

So the best case scenario for Timothy is that the Kraang took him for experimentation, otherwise he's dead.

Do they even bring up that Tim is gone?

starting to feel the writers don't care about Tim.

He gets mutated...he gets frozen....he don't get any retromutagen....the boys leave him in the city....the boys return but don't mention him.

if Tim is coming back and he's thawed out....he's got 4 turtles to hunt.

Got any proof that kills anything living? It just seemed to go after anything that moved, so as long as Tim's still on ice (coming to a Disney skating arena near you), he's probably right where they left him.

Well I know the reason he was put into show was because one of the crew really liked the Mutagen Man toy. I went ahead and checked out the Mutagen Man episode of the FW cartoon (his only appearence before the Nick cartoon) and boy can you tell they only used the character because the toy is cool, his personality, backstory and powers were way different there.

Didn't Donnie say he'd thaw out in about 70 years or something like that? Maybe what happened to him is permanent until then if it's not simply "frozen" in the traditional sense.

Not that the Turtles seem to mind having him out of their [lack of] hair. Still wonder why no family is wondering why he disappeared though.

Casey was the one who handed the chemicals and things to Donnie, so he probably didn't think it mattered if Donnie's "Pet Monster" was missing if he was packing the materials.

Another plausablity is that Leo and Raph didn't think anything of it. Or decided not to mention it because they either didn't think it mattered, or just plain forgot he had been there at all.

They pulverized him.

Yep, he's still frozen in the lair, I bet. Hopefully he'll return at some point this season. I love that character. Yes, he's disgusting, but he looks cool. Ciro said he'd have a big role to play at some point. Maybe he meant Tim being the key to retro-mutagen in season 2 but somehow I doubt that. He mentioned it in that 2013 Comic-Con panel. Or maybe the NYC one that year.

He's sitting on a shelf somewhere with Xever and Slash and the rest of the under-used characters. :tgrumble:

I bet he'd make one nasty slushy. But yeah, they need to bring him back. I thought the OT version of MM was alright but I love this one so much better.

They've cheated these characters way too much now.

I hope Timothy comes back, either as Mutagen Man or (even better), if they can demutate him at some point.
I agree with what others have said, I much prefer to have already introduced characters receive more time and development. I would be happier with fewer characters/mutants introduced, and getting more in-depth with the ones we have. That's one reason I enjoy the New Animated Adventures comics, they feature additional stories with Fishface, Snakeweed, Spiderbytes, etc. I'd like to see nearly all the "monster of the week" characters come back a few times, characters like Sir Malachi and the punk frogs, etc. And I miss Snakeweed, he was one of my favorite mutants. And of course, I'd love to see more of Slash.
