Technodrome on the 2012 series - Page 2

Danetello · 08-10-2013, 10:47 AM

I'm definitely very interested to see how they use the Technodrome now that it is at the bottom of the Atlantic, just outside NYC.
I mean, we DID see it power up right before the show ended... I'd love to see more of the inside, what technology it has, rooms etc, more of Kraang Prime, and how they operate the ship, their society etc.
Can't wait for season 2!

If we see the Technodrome in the bottom of the ocean more often on Season 2, That's like a homage to the original series, Many episodes had the Technodrome under water, Sometimes underground beneath the earth.

I almost knew it! Season 1 would end with the Technodrome. And it's an awesome cliffhanger to keep fans watching!

It was awesome to see the Technodrome fly across the sky, and it ended like a nice mix of "Return of the Technodrome"/"My Brother the Bad Guy" (travellig from Dimension X to Earth) and "Rock Around the Block" (falling underwater).

Can somebody post a screenshot of the new Technodrome?

*TigerClaw* · 08-10-2013, 04:58 PM

Nevermind, Saw it posted on the screencap thread.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 08-10-2013, 05:40 PM

It looks silly, but it's at least as cool as in the 1987 show, if not cool. I also like how it seems to have better flying capacity.

*MrTMNT2012* · 08-10-2013, 05:56 PM

Anyone else think we should update The Technodrome Forums with this new design? For example instead of having all borders and fonts coloured Blue and White, we can have it be grey and Purple with the new logo being that of the 2012 version!

It'd be a cool way to update the forums and get with the times.

Hell....no. The original Technodrome is iconic. The Nick one looks like any generic sci-fi spaceship

yeah but at least looks better than the Turtles Forever version

*NinjaPug* · 08-10-2013, 06:06 PM

Totally agree with that. The 2012 Technodrome didn't remind me of the original iconic Drome at all. Looked more like the Death Star to me.

I wouldn't say it's iconic....it's memorable in how unbelievably STUPID it looked. The Nick version at least looks more intimidating and actually has a cohesive structure!

It looked stupid by being a huge fortress on tank tracks with a huge eye on the top? I think that looks much cooler than any Technodrome design since.

I like 2012 Technodrome but I'll always love the 1987 one because of the giant eyeball on top. I thought it always looked cool when they sometimes gave it a mean looking eye.

The new Technodrome actually looks like it came from another dimension. All the things you mentioned lead to it being even more redundant and stupid!

Wasn't The Technodrome in Turtles Forever the same one as the 1987 ?

The eye on the top of the Technodrome is by far the best part of its design.

^ I agree with this. The old Technodrome alright, but I like the new design more.

........No THAT WAS THE DUMBE- Ok fine, yes....yes, it is. Even I can't argue against that genius design choice!

Seriously though, New Forum design...someone get on that! At least the new design is the best since the original so it would be the perfect way to upgrade.

*CyberCubed* · 08-10-2013, 06:17 PM

I never thought the old Technodrome looked dumb at all. Even if we remove nostalgia from the equation, I think its design looks incredible.

Its a huge foretress that can literally crush over anything in its path, and the eyeball at the top has a huge canon it fires out of.

*MrTMNT2012* · 08-10-2013, 06:27 PM

That's cool....But 2012's Technodrome can FREAKING TERRAFORM THE PLANET! And it doesn't look ridiculous while doing it, so you've got to give it some credit.
