krang, bebop and rocksteady?
 

what's the general consensus? do fans like bebop and rocksteady? i know that laird doesn't want them, but I think they could make them work as alien bounty hunters 8) or even exclusive action figures with nothing to do with the new cartoon at all.
and i don't see why we can't have a criminal utrom by the name of krang, it seams kinda petty to leave out such predominate and well remembed characters, just because some people don't like them :(

lockey lockey......

i can't even ask if people would wan't them? :-?

well, the reason they arn't in the new toon i suppose is because Laird wants this one to have nothing to do with the old one.

also, i have a feeling the Utroms are a peaceful race, perhaps grown beyond violence, so a renegade Utrom is really unlikely.

Be-bob and Rocksteady have ways they could work, but untill there is really a need for them i don't think they'll happen.

Could they be altered to fit into the toon? Probably. Should they? No, not really. It's a different series, and a different style. Krang wouldn't fit at all with the Utrom race, as they are a completely peaceful race. Killing another being is unknown to them. So a evil Utrom wouldn't make any sense.

Not to mention that Krang, while based on the Utroms, was not one. He was a warlord from Dimension X that had his body taken away, and was banished from the dimension. Where as the Oots are naturally brain-like aliens, with no natural physical body. :)

When they get around to showing the true form of an Utrom in this show, do you think it will be a hairy blob like in the comics, or pink brains like what has become so iconic because of Krang?

Hairy Blob? Bwah? Since when have they been hairy blobs? They always looked very brainlike. Pink and with two tentacles in the front. Besides, we've already pretty much seen what's planned for them. The pommel stone of the Sword of Tengu and the Head Guardian's necklace both feature images of the Utroms. :)

I think it might be good for nostalgia purposes if when theyre in the space bar, you just see a 2 second image of them there.

-->> ..people may hate 'em.. people may not want them in the new show.. & odds are they won't ever be..






















:evilgrin: ..but you can't f8ckin' stop me from loving those characters.. i grew up with 'em and they made the original show alot of fun.. soo

.. :P

yup, I know is based more of the comics instead of the old cartoon, but that doesn't mean that some elements of the cartoon can't be slipped in...especially if playmates is paying for the cartoon, I would think they would want things that would appeal more toward children. I think the new show could use a healthy dose of mutants ( I know leatherhead and yusagi are coming) and after the fall of the foot shredder might want some heavy hitters to take care of the turtles, bebop and rocksteady would be perfect IMO...maybe tokka and rahza :D also, what with the utroms being such a happy go lucky race, it would make krang more unique, and with shredder's resources, a partnership might be lucrative for both of them.

does that mean the majority of people never liked the old toon or toys? because I think the majority is missing out on some mondo cool character! :D


Vintage Splinter (cool name BTW)

I though that Krang's original body lost was just an exo suite like the one shredder built. Even as kid with no knowledge of the Utoms I though that all of Krang's people (who I called brainoids) where just brain dudes with mechanical bodies. Anyway, perhaps I just had a wild imagination.


Dinny,

that would be cool! I half expected to see purple dragon's that looked like the original human form




Nice to know i have some backup zREAL-tOkKa

They shouldn't and never will be in this series. They were a comedic sidedkicks, and wouldn't fit the show at all. Nor would there be any reason to ever add them.

:D thank you for reopening this thread, I appreciate that Karpo, but I disagree about the dumb duo, I think they could be updated to be deadly mercenaries and leave the comedy to mikey in this new version :)

R&B are all about stupidity. If you take that away from them, they aren't R&B anymore.

shredder mutated them because he wanted some bad ass mutants of his own, I want t see shredders intent realized. besides, that's like saying trapjaw is just a dork with a metal jaw (sorry I'm a he-fan first and foremost) but the new trapjaw is a mean lean fightin machine in the new toon, more so in the comic. c'mon, bebeop and rocksteady with rabies, who would love that? :lol:

As you could see from some of the replies to this thread before I deleted them, alot of new cartoon fans here are too immature to handle threads like this without bashing the old cartoon (which is against the rules), so that's why these threads usually end up locked.
