What if the multi-colored Foot Soldiers from the games appeared in the OT?

As a kid I've always kind of wanted to see the multi-colored Foot Soldiers from the classic Konami games in the original cartoon, even if it was for only 1 episode or something. I always loved the white and blue colored ones especially.

Anyone else want to see this as a kid?

Yeah, I was right there with ya. Those yellow Foot with their spiked green ultimate frisbees... hated those punks. :tlol:

As a kid, I played the Arcade game a lot and was into the original cartoon so yeah that does sound pretty cool!

I love them. I'm totally going to pick up the NECA ones when they come out

You mean they were not multicolored before? Strange I thought they were cause it'd be boring with just one shade of color.

Yes, I would have liked to have seen that. Just imagine the paint mistakes though Hehehe, they had enough trouble with the Turtles.

I'm really bummed that I probably won't get my hands on the NECA figures, because I've always found the rainbow Foot Soldiers appealing. I like their crazy weapons too.

Now that I think of it, why did they not do this? It would've been a really nice addition. Even the rock soldiers had more variety with the two existing colours being brown and grey. They could've been more creative with the foot ninjas, but oh well..

I wouldn't really see the point in different colored Foot Bots. In the games it's because they attack differently depending on color, thus you know how to deal with them before they attack. There's no reason for that in cartoon as you're just passively observing, that and it would have been a pain for the animators to remember different colors, they clearly had enough trouble with that on the Turtles themselves.

I guess it could have been a neat detail but it wouldn't have worked out for the production.

Colours
 

No point of Shredder using different colours for different weapons and let the turtles know that even before weapons had been pulled out.

It's video games, that sort of stuff has to happen or else the player gets frustrated.

I think the OT made a good call in keeping the colors of the Foot Soldiers simple. We got to enjoy busting them up in the video games and didn't have to deal with the Skittle colored Foot robots hurting our eyes in the cartoon.

Also, certain colors might not always look good on the animation cels.

EDIT - My phone isn't always the best thing to use to access this forum.

all of this.

I mean we would have gotten to see more colourful foot soldiers on screen but I doubt that the green, yellow, blue or orange foot soldier would be doing anything more than the purple foot soldier which means they too would have been aimlessly firing a laser gun until they got smashed to pieces by the turtles. There would have been no point to it.

The multi-colored Foot Soldiers provide great visual alternation and I would have liked to see those in the OT, but even more in the vintage toy line. Fortunately it's not a big deal to make custom colored Foot Soldiers !

I think they definitely could've made the multi-colored Foot soldiers work in the original cartoon. That was the fun game. BA, BA, up down, BA, left right, BA, start.

Absolutely no point in different colored Foot Soldiers... so yeah, of course they should have been in the OT.

I mean in the cartoons and comics. Of course it's OK in the videogames.

Your'e going to SDCC?

I think the OT barely even used the foot soldiers were had. You can count their appearances. Most of the time it was R&B by themselves out if we were lucky they had two foot soldiers with them. What makes it annoying is they made the foot into robots when though they have human hands. Now if they went to the trouble of making them robots they should've used them more as fodder for the turtles to attack with their weapons without it being violent since they are robots. And why are there hands not another color like the toy. It looks stupid to see a human that is a robot. Either make him a robot or a human. And of thru weren't even allowed to attack the robot foot soldiers them they should've kept them human.

But anywho of they had used footsoldiers better then yeah a ranking system would've been great.


:lol:

That would've been awesome. :D & I like that some of them are finally being made in toy. :)

Man that would have been great. It's a shame how little the foot soldiers were used in the series. I find it funny in these IDW comic reprints of Mirage material they can't seem to decide what color they want the foot soldiers so every trade has them colored differently. I just pretend that they're like the video game foot soldiers in all their multi colored glory lol.
