Better use for the Firestar

Yabuturtle · 05-13-2016, 09:55 PM

In the Red sky seasons of the 1987 show, there was an episode called Cyber Turtles which showed the Firestar which was among the most powerful artifact in the universe. If anyone remembers this episode, you will know that Krang used it to break down the dimensional barriers between the tmnt universe and dimension x and the two dimensions would be one.

I do find it strange that we never see or even hear the Firestar mentioned again. I also find it strange that Krang didn't use it to power himself up. Think about it. Krang had Beserko's resources, which means he should have been able to rebuild his android body. There's really no reason for him to use the bubble walker when his android body is much more powerful. If he did that, I was hoping Krang was going to use it to become invincible.

It has the power of a thousand suns, so I actually thought he was going to use that crystal and use it as a power source for his android body, and therefore he would become god-like, or perhaps he could have used that crystal to power up the Technodrome.

I was wondering if anyone thought he was going to do that instead of simply break down the barriers.

Cool idea! They were so obsessed with getting the Technodrome and armies back at the time so that was a higher priority It was presumably still stuck in the black hole. The real kicker is how they had four episodes off and this was all they could accomplish.

The Glaxxons took the Firestar to be destroyed, potentially being pursued by other, more powerful aliens during their quest. Too bad they were never seen again so maybe they succeeded or were lost in the process?

Sounds like a great idea. The Firestar could've been used an interesting plot device for a story arc a bit like Turtles in Space from the 2003 cartoon rather than just appearing in one episode.

I think it would have been cool to see the Firestar again. I was hoping that in season 9 or 10, Lord Dregg would have obtained it. It could have also been shown in Turtles Forver and maybe Chrell could have used it as a power source.

The Technodrome is already hard enough to destroy so imagine it having the power of a thousand suns. or imagine Krang using the crystal to power up his android body. He probably could be strong enough to rival Superman villains or even cosmic Marvel villains with that kind of power. Ever since I saw it I was hoping Krang, Lord Dregg or Chrell would find it or even the Kraang from the 2012 cartoon.

I think they should bring it back.
