The Dogpound, Fishface, and Snakeweed thread

*pannoni1* · 06-19-2012, 12:40 PM

The Nick series will introduce these mutant villains to the TMNT world, and this thread is for discussing them. Here my thoughts:

-Will these villains be mutated by simply mutagen, or will it be a cross with a human, like Rocksteady & Bebop?
-Will they be regulars like R&B, or recurring like Slash and Garbageman?
-What kind of weapons/abilities would each posses?
-Will they be silly and goofy to their "boss" like R&B, will they be serious, badass villains, or will they have an alternating personality?
-Will they be stronger/weaker than more standard enemies like the Foot?
-Their voices/sounds. For instance Bebop had this oinky pig sound in the OT, so imagine a sniffing sound for Dogpound or a bubbly sound for Fishface.

Feel free to post your thoughts.

I think their names sort of indicate what kind of powers/abilities they'll have.

Dogpound implies he may possess incredible strengh by pounding objects into smaller matter(or it's just referencing the actual place where stray dogs are taken) and Stinkweed sounds it'll be a plant that sprays a foul-smelling spray like a skunk.

I think that both Dogpound and Fishface will be regulars characters like Rocksteady and Bebop were, and that Stinkweed will either be a recurring character, or a one-time thing.

I think Dogpound and Fishface will be on the goofy side of things, yet still be a threat. I imagine that Dogpound's considerable size, and assumed strength, will be what makes him a threat. Fishface...other than his bite, I'm not sure how threatening he'll be.

As for their creation. We already know that the Kraang are going to be creating mutants throughout the series, so I imagine that these three will be among the first created. Leatherhead will also probably be with them. Maybe even in-charge over his fellow mutants. When it comes to what they'll be before the mutation process, I imagine they'll be animals/plants, rather than humans.

I'm not really sure what to expect voice-wise. They could go either high or low with Dogpound. Would be nice for them to have voices, and sounds, befitting their origins, but I'm not going to count on that.

I'm mostly curious to see how the relationship between the turtles and these other mutants is played out. I'd like to see them at least try to convince they're mutant brethren to switch sides. Maybe even convince one of them to do so eventually.

I'm figuring Fishface will be the smart sneaky one and Dogpound will be the ignorant brute.

*CyberCubed* · 06-19-2012, 04:01 PM

Am I the only one who thinks their names sound like Pokemon?

*ToTheNines* · 06-19-2012, 05:48 PM

It's Snakeweed, not Stinkweed. You knuckle draggers.

**Jester** · 06-19-2012, 06:12 PM

Could DogPound be voiced by Clancy Brown? Have we figured out who he might be?

*zkarlette* · 06-19-2012, 06:23 PM

Are there any pics of this guys?...

According to Ninja Pizza's Toy Fair report (link), it's Stinkweed.

Thanks Jester!

Fish face looks pretty Neat!, Dogpound on the other hand looks like a softie probably the goofy one...

Dogpound & Stinkweed reminded me a little of Pokemon names, yes.

*CyberCubed* · 06-19-2012, 09:49 PM

How do we even know these characters will be series regulars? They could be one-off mutants for only a handful of episodes and then disappear.Or they could be like Quarry, Stonebiter and Razorfist from the 4kids series, where they only appear for certain arcs.

I definitely don't think they're going to be major characters the way Bebop and Rocksteady were. I definitely don't see these guys being in almost every episode.

*Jephael* · 06-19-2012, 09:51 PM

I kinda see this show doing what Smallville did back in the day and have a "Freak of the Week" type thing.

**Jester** · 06-19-2012, 09:55 PM

I hope not. I want a fun cast of characters I can get to know.

*zkarlette* · 06-19-2012, 09:56 PM

"Freak of the week" what an interesting concept...

Nick has already stated that they didn't want this show to be just another monster of the weak cartoon. Which is why I think that Dogpound and Fishface will be returning characters, rather than one-offs. Also, their response to a question asking if Rocksteady and Bebop will be showing up was that they had characters that "filled those roles" already.

Though we'll just have to wait and see to truly know.

*CyberCubed* · 06-19-2012, 10:08 PM

I hope Bebop and Rocksteady appear in Season 2. Their characters were created for light-hearted kids shows.

It really makes no sense why "serious" TMNT universes like the IDW series and possibly the new movie are using Bebop/Rocksteady yet a cartoon aimed at children isn't.

I'd love to see them in CG too. Here's hoping we see them next season.

*Spitfire* · 06-19-2012, 10:16 PM

They look alright but better names would have been nice. Those names seriously suck.

*Drose18* · 06-20-2012, 06:57 AM

Diesel or Chomperz for Dogpound
Ellowell or for Fishface
Gizzard for Snakeweed
