Episodes where the Turtles are hunted by humans as fugitives

There were 3 episodes in the original toon where the Turtles were hunted as fugitives or because they were mutants.

- The first was in, "Invasion of the Punk Frogs" where that anti-mutant task force came after both them and the Punk Frogs. They froze the Frogs on ice and almost did the same to the Turtles. After some skirmishes with Shredder we never see them again.

- Next was in, "Dirk Savage, Mutant Hunter," when Dirk Savage set out to capture all the mutants in NYC. And the Turtles were hunted along with Mondo Gecko, the frogs and Rahzar/Tokka.

- The second to last one was in, "State of Shock" during Season 8, where the "Dark Water" human group hunts the turtles for being criminals.

And then finally in Season 9, Lord Dregg smears the Turtles image in NYC to the point where there are wanted criminal signs of them put up in NYC.

Did anyone else really like the concept of the Turtles being hunted by humans? It really proved that the Turtles couldn't walk around NYC freely without disguises as sooner or later some bounty hunter or anti-mutant group would go after them. Reminds me of arcs in Batman or Spiderman when the police come after them. Or the similar hate-crimes in X-men.
