Something I really want to see happen for some reason.
 

This can be a stupid idea, but it can also be a really great idea if they write it well.

Don't ask me why I want to see it happen, but here's the thing: Dregg's coming into the picture, and he's obviously going to be a big threat. And just the idea of a really, really big threat makes me think about future episodes and this is a weird idea, but...

I really want the Turtles to team up with Shredder himself for at least one episode in the future.

Just as a kind of "enemy of my enemy is my friend" type of thing. And if Shredder, the one who hates the Turtles the most, would team up with them, it'd have to be one helluva threat. I mean, how cool would it be to have Shredder fight alongside the Turtles? I could just imagine Mikey cracking a joke, and Shredder coldly telling him to stop bantering. I dunno. It's just something that I think could be really, really cool if they handled it well.

YES. That would be insane. Like, IDW Donnie-teaming-up-with-the-Foot levels of insane.

"As you say, turtle... as you say."

I really just want one of them to make a joke and Shredder just gives them this look like, "Shut. The ****. Up."

When Shredder and Dark Leo (IDW) came crashing through that window and fighting side-by-side I literally had chill bumps. :teek: It was so beautiful.

Hello, I am new to this forum. So to answer your question, I think it would be nice to have shredder fight alongside the turtles. I bet he and Raphael would work great together because they both have anger and rage, but I don't think we'll ever see that, not in this series anyway. The shredder has too much ego and hates splinter too much to ever team up with his disciples.

Wouldn't that be a little cliché though?
I really want an episode to focus on the villains. Kind of like Thirst in Transformers Prime. I want to see where they live, what they do, etc.

It could happen, it's already going to happen in the new Amazing Adventures comic.

I think it would be cool if they had to team up with Shredder, but it would have to be something drastic for that to happen as Shredder hates them with a passion, and I can't see him just teaming up with them for the hell of it.

Not this Shredder, he's the type to let the world be destroid before he would let himself be on the same side as the Turtles, he let the Kraang invade Earth, he doesn't care about anything other then his revenge.

I honestly see the only way that he teams up with the Turtles is if Karai's in danger. And I wouldn't mind this, but I really want him to turn to the Turtles. Just be like, "Okay, I hate you, and nothing's going to change that, and the second we get Karai back, I WILL kill you, but help me get Karai back."

I feel like it's gotta be after he has his "big" battle with the Turtles, though. They're obviously not gonna kill him off, and he is already confirmed to be in season 4, so maybe you can have that happen.

If that where to happen he would let Karai die and blame the Turtles for it like he did for her mutation, and he was responsible for that, he would honestly believe they where responsible and he did everything he could, forming an alliance would not even cross his mind, his hatred blinds him from reality.

I actually think there's a lot of comedic potential in this idea; if nothing else, I'd love to see it in a fic. It'd be an interesting dynamic.

Heh, penny, your wish is my command. You just made me start thinking of a plot bunny for an OT-based story. You want it, you GOT it!

ZOMG, I have magical wishing powers! Ok, now I wish I had a million dollars and that Ruby Rose would show up at my door holding a biiiiig bottle of massage oil! Ooooh, and also that all the people I dislike suddenly develop hemorrhoids.

*waiting expectantly* :evilgrin:

Disclaimer: I claim no legal responsibility for any forum members who happen to develop hemorrhoids in the immediate future. Curses wrought as a result of contracts signed with denizens of the underworld cannot be proven in a court of law.

Sadly, I'm NOT a genie (man I WISH I had Jeanie's body....) so I can't grant your other wishes. But then again, there IS that little matter of being a witch.... But I don't do curses. Too much karmic backlash, LOL!

I think it could certainly work - though as others have suggested it would have to be something pretty serious for this particular Shredder to even consider it - and its likely he would aim to betray the turtles the first chance he could.

I could see one of his minions - Tigerclaw for instance - arranging an alliance behind his back if the mutual threat was serious enough. Dregg might qualify I suppose...

The other possibility is that the Turtles in time episode reveals some means that the Turtles could reason with the present day Shredder, potentially laying the groundwork for a brief alliance if need arises.

That would be very interesting and intense. Like, when Magneto join the Xmen on a dangerous mission that it affects him as well.

And at the moment he betray the turtles truco, they would fight back in a episode way.

If anything, I could see Xever teaming up with them at some point if he wants to go rogue.

I just think it'd be the coolest thing ever to see the Turtles fighting side-by-side with Shredder. Shredder's one helluva force to be reckoned with in this series, so I think that'd be really interesting to see him fight with the Turtles rather than against the Turtles. But it's not just the fighting, I'd love to see the interactions: How Shredder doesn't trust the Turtles and how the Turtles don't trust Shredder. In all honesty, let's use Dregg as an example... Shredder would probably try to ally himself with Dregg, Dregg would piss him off, and Shredder would go to the Turtles, saying that he wants them dead, but he wants Dregg dead just a wee bit more.
