If Bishop appears in the nick show, how should he be featured?

I don't know, they did bother to model the soldiers and I don't think they're just going to go away now that the mutation thing needs to be taken care of somehow.

[victory_angel]

And Ace Duck is pretty much a joke character in any incarnation. As an action figure he finds the Turtle Blimp and essentially rents it out to the Turtles.

He's just a TV show character in the OT.

He narcissist in the Archie Comics,

And Shredder was not impressed by the concept of him in the 2012. Not to mention all the posts debating how useful a Duck would be as a fighter in the "Lonely Mutation of Baxter Stockman thread."

Bishop on the other hand we know has some substance. So it would be interesting to have a villain with a black and white view of the world and the creatures living in it.

[Galactus]

It would be great to have Bishop in this series. It does need more human villains and ones on par with Shredder.

Certainly Shredder having connections with Kraang would put the two of them at odds but there's equal ways the two could be loosely aligned as well.

It was a nice nod to have the Earth Protection Force but I do hope there's more to it. Remember in season 1 when they mentioned Baxter being fired from TCRI and at that point it didn't look like TCRI would properly feature? It would be cool if it was something they planned ahead with.

[Leofan26]

If they do season four would be focused on that, season three we have a new threat here. Than again, we should focus on the final defeat of Shredder, unless we get another season added. I want Shredder's defeat to be specially handled well in this series, no added in villains thank you

[shuriken]

Like a boss.
But honestly I wouldn't want him in this series.

[ToTheNines]

If he shows up, he's gonna have to be whacky and incompetent. Because the Kraang are whacky and incompetent.

2k3 Bishop would have nailed the Kraang to the wall decades ago.

[CyberCubed]

I don't think so, look at how serious Shredder is and he works with the Kraang.

Bishop being serious is part of his character, I just hope they don't go too wacky with his character design. Considering he's just a man in a suit, I'm not sure what they can do.

[sdp]

I hope he appears, he is easily the best TMNT character created since Karai. If he doesn't it'd be a shame and if he never appears in another incarnation it'd be a huge waste as big as Armaggon.

I also like Hun and hope he is used in other Ninja Turtles media but I don't mind if he doesn't since Shredder in this version already has so many cronies.

[CyberCubed]

Hun and Bishop were the two most important 4kids villains that broke new ground in TMNT lore.

I'll be surprised if Hun never appears, I think he will be Casey's father in this show.

[victory_angel]

Yeah, it seemed too convenient that Casey's family is missing, so yeah it is possible to assume that they were casualties like April's father had been. But they very well could have been that majority of the humans who were not mutated were evacuated out of the city by the EPF. If they hadn't hopped in the car and evacuated on their own.

It seemed to me like Casey's family was like some of those characters that are mentioned but never seen for budget reasons. From what I understand, making a new character would cost too much if they're minor. This is why it's mentioned that April lives with her aunt when her dad is out of the picture, yet we have never seen her even once in the 52 episodes that have aired, not even when they had to escape the city.

Maybe Hun will or will not be Casey's father but I will say this, if he does appear he will play a major role regardless of who or what he turns out to be.

On a side note, I think that the consequences of these budget constraints are part of what makes me a little disappointed with this this show. Because they have to showcase toy-centric characters like Spider-Bytez, Snakeweed, Spyroach etc, they can't make use of rather necessary characters like April's aunt.
Oh the aunt may not seem important but think about it, what do think would further the story and the characters more?

An episode where the turtles are being mind controlled by wasps, or an episode where April talks with her aunt about missing her dad?
An episode where the turtles are being mind controlled by pizzas, or an episode where Casey has to confront his dad about the crime fighting?
An episode where the turtles are being mind controlled by a ghost, or an episode all about Splinter's human life?

Spoiler:

Also the budget constraints might also mean the end of the Mutagen Man arc, hopefully it isn't but it would be a real letdown if Donnie's promise to cure him really did end with "You'll thaw out sooner or later".

I agree very much with you on the sad consequences of the budget constraints....but woah, written out its almost funny how often we got the same stupid story element of being mind controlled by something or someone in this still very young show!..hahah, good observation!

I think he should be featured as a bear mutant. It's the only thing that makes sense. Oh yea... after looking at victory angel's avatar for more than 10 mintues or maybe 30, I now suggest that it be a unicorn bear.

This is a joke, right?

[Warhorse]

I'm wondering, if there is a Bishop, will he discover the Turtle's lair while hunting down the last remnants of the Kraang.

That would be cool. He'd probably find Splinter as well.

[victory_angel]

Maybe find all the mutants in the city such as Spiderbites, Snakeweed, Slash, Rockwell, and such and has them all locked up in a containment facility.

I'm hoping he finds Timothy, and in his twisted mind, he might think the Turtles are the ones doing the experiments on humans. Nothing more dangerous than a villain of the protaganists that has a real good reason to be like they are. That way, he's not so black and white, just isn't seeing the whole picture.

Bull.

Shredder works with them, but Bishop's life mission is to eradicate all aliens on Earth. So if they have been around forever... he basically sucks. Unless he literally just got hired or something.

[Icebot]

Same way he was featured in the 4kids series, except he should immediately turn the Earth Protection Force into the Pan Galactic Alliance.
