Regarding Alopex's mutation

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

This doesn't really make sense. They could reverse-engineer their pending "projects" and rebuild their research. They don't really have a steady supply of ooze, though, because none of the mutant projects bore very much fruit and Krang seems to have lost interest in going that route. I was under the assumption in the beginning that the whole purpose of the terrapin project was to be able to grow carapace on human beings as a kind of armor, and that was how the Stone Soldiers came about. A lot of what happens in this series doesn't make sense/is convoluted until it is explained countless issues later.

It obviously doesn't matter that the research was stolen, since that happened before Krang abducted Stockman, and he was still able to create Flyborg mutants to work on the Technodrome.
