I'd argue that the old design capitalizes a bit more on its owners' nature. A key point for both series is that Krang/The Kraang aren't just extraterrestrial; they're extra-dimensional. To this end, a base doesn't necessarily need to fly through space, so tank treads emphasize that it just goes through portals. Even though that's what the new one did, too, its design is a bit more generic as alien motherships go, as if it was actually designed to fly through space.

Given all that, I have no preference for a Technodrome exterior. The new design fits its new function (ie, less of a massive offensive vehicle and more of a mobile base to prepare others to attack), and I'm very pleased that this show is glad to make past nods, but not to the point that it loses its creativity; a trap into which IDW falls pretty hard. Especially given they are going to crossover with the Fred Wolf series, establishing differences is a great idea.

However, I definitely like the Fred Wolf interior better. It looked weird, but it did give the sense of being a military base/vehicle. The new Technodrome's interior is just weird; it looks like it was designed as a shout out to Yellow Submarine or something. I'm one of the viewers on whom the stylized sequences of this show still haven't grown, and at this point I doubt they ever will, though that's not a big deal for me.

It looked sorta bland on the outside, but the inside was amazing.

No one's really commented on this, so I'm curious. Am I the only one who thought it was awesome that the sound it made was similar to the music always playing in scenes involving the OT Technodrome? That weird pulsating sound. Nice little throwback.

i'll always be more partial to the OT Technodrome of course but any time there's a reinvention of it, if done well, i'm down for it

I like it more than the 2k3 re-design but it has the same problem the 2k3 design does, and it's that it just looks too much of a cheap Death Star rip-off. Now why do I like the OT Technodrome? Because it does look like something out of this world since it doesn't look like an conventional earth weapon, very Alien and that is what makes it scary.

I actually really like the design, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of it. That said, there is one downside...there is no toy of it...yet...

I don't hate it, but I was disappointed by it. The design was rather bland, and the weapons weren't interesting. It just fired more lasers. We didn't get to see any big guns on it. The mutation beam thing was just that, for mutation. Like others have said, it's too similar to the TF special Technodrome.

It looked like a chrome-plated Bumble Ball pet toy. That made it just really boring. It also looked like Kraang Possible was nearly half the size of it.
