Dregg pumped Leonardo full of plutonium with the supposed intent of him exploding and taking the city and more with him. But the whole thing was a ploy to get the Turtles to steal chemicals from him to diffuse and stabilize Leonardo, then analyze which ones were taken so he knew how to create stable super mutagen to make him a super being. The last-second addition of Shredder and Krang was the icing on the cake that wouldn't have happened if Mung hadn't mentioned them.
Dregg's original intention wasn't to turn Leonardo or anyone into a hyper mutant. That was an unanticipated reaction to stealing a fragment of the Vortex Crystal used in the Demutation Ray. This unfortunately played to his advantage and here we are.
