Should we have seen more of the war between the Rock soldiers and the Neutrinos?

The old toon give us the impression that there' s a war going on throughout the series with General Traag and the Rock Soldiers against the Neutrinos, but we only see very little of it.

In the ep, "Four Turtles and a baby" we see the Neutrino homeworld being destroyed by Traag and the Rock Soldiers, but only at the very beginning of the ep. After the ep ends, the Neutrino leaders return there with their baby and and say they fought the Rock soldiers off.

I think its one of the missed opportunities of the old toon, they should have made a few episodes dealing with this. Unless it does happen in the later seasons and I just don't remember...?

Isn't war something 1980's cartoons shouldn't deal with too much, according to the political climate back then.

Don't care, I've always hated the Neutrinos.

Actually, it was back in the early 1970's when war was out of favor in the US due to our losing the Vietnam War, and GI Joe went from soldier to non-military adventurer. By the 1980's, the military aspect of GI Joe came back, and the name didn't refer to a regular soldier anymore.

As for the Neutrinos, I had assumed they were not fighting the Rock Soldiers, but refusing to fight with them, if the first episode with them is any guide. "They hate war," said General Traag.

I also wasn't a big fan of the neutrinos. I mean I was left happy with the explanation in season 1, dimension x is always at war thats just it.

However I never understood why we didn't see more rocksoldiers, I mean if they were Krangs personal army why didn't we see him calling for rock back up more often.

Well one turtle had a tear running down his cheek for the neutrino so they do miss them .They should of had more neutrino episodes! Maybe where they get crystals for their flying cars or they have to leave dimension x due to the war to live in curma's world. Maybe help protect the guy with his gold robots.
