Today, Laird released more of the Triceraton Shredder intro script, however, this bit from another episode draft has my attention:

"EXT. ALIEN ALLEY. MAO-TRON'S DUMPLING HOUSE - CONTINUOUS
Mikey pulls up to this modest store, indicated by HOLO-SIGNAGE of a TENTACLED ALIEN stir-frying happy-looking dumplings.
MIKEY - rubs his hands together as he takes a deep whiff.
*MIKEY
<SNIFFFFF>Breathe in the deep fried goodness, bros! Mao-Tron's Teriaki Tentacle Tempura two-fer Tuesdays! "

Laird's response:

I don't know if this was intentional or not, but naming this restaurant "Mao-Tron's" makes me think of a robotic Mao Tse-Tung. Maybe we could get in a few sly references to the old Chairman, like maybe the menus could look like little red books, or Mikey could say at the end of his lines above "It's like a cultural revolution... in your mouth!"

Make of it what you will, because I don't know what to think of the above. Enjoy.
