Hollywood Recycling concept art

Looks as though the concept artists couldn't be bothered to come up with new designs for The Turtle Van's arsenal. They are almost exactly the same.

Surprised, I am not.

The license plate of the Turtle Van almost says "shell razor".

Or is it Shellraiser? Meh, it doesn't matter.

I can't believe they went to the trouble of making a Turtle Van that was only in the movie for less than a minute!

Similar, but to be fair I guess there is only so much they can do with a real door and allow the thing to still close.

Because toys. Same reason Iron Man has a new suit at the beginning of each sequel, when he's already gonna use a new one by the end.

I think they featured more of it but it tied too much into the Sachs stuff & hadda be cut. Just a guess.

They're similar in so far as they're both gunship style wing mounts, but it's not a copy paste job as far as I can see.

Funny, judging by that picture, if the turtles fired those missiles, they'd blow the front tyre off.

Good point. Even more reasons to add to the "This doesn't make sense" pile.

They've clearly reused the same assets in both mock-ups, modified ever so slightly. Conceptually it's identical.

Yes, the same company.

Wonder how the turtles got hold of military grade weapons?

I don't see how they are the same, guns, missiles, weapons tend to look similar.

I assume they could have stolen some weapons and stuff from the foot in the movie, between the mansion and any other foot place they could have came across.

Just because you post 2 images of similar things doesn't mean they are the same.

Again, same designers, same idea tacked on to two different films.

Point is, it's lazy, especially if we are to believe the turtles are forced to wear discarded junk as clothes, but they have military grade weapons in their van.

And no resorting to crislers law for an explanation.

It's just weak design.

Not in the final version, sure. Not the point though, is it?

I'm fairly certain that was because they already had plans for more than one film.
