Now that Dimension X was officially seen in the Nick cartoon, what version of Dimension X do you like more? Fred Wolf cartoon Dimension X or Nick cartoon Dimension X?

Its a little early to make a clear call, but it seems like the Nick version feels more intense and distinct from the OT series. Overall, I still have my heart on the OT's since there were more interesting characters to emerge from there and the Technodrome was the primary driver there, but Nick's has Kraang Prime and it seems more dangerous to travel through and there can be more sudden attacks.

The Old Toon Dimension X had TONS of storytelling potential, but no writer ever really aspired to spin any great narrative out of it. I think that was one of David Wise's missed opportunities, considering how structured the pilot season was to "peeling back the layer of the onion" by allowing each new plot reveal to lead to a new episode which answer the "why?" or "how?" of the previous episode.

The idea of a Krang/Stone Warrior vs. Neutrino war was a great angle that only rarely got referenced throughout the series. Honestly, the best treatment of the source material in that regard was probably Steve Murphy's "Black Hole Trilogy" arc in the Archie comics or even the Dengeki Comics Super Turtles mini-series in Japan.
