Mirage influences in Fred Wolf

We all know the 1987 cartoon did its own goofy thing and strayed away heavily from the source comics. So I thought it'd be interesting to see what was or possibly was derived from the comics, despite the obvious changes made. I know there isn't much, but still thought there might be more than just the handful I've listed. Other than the main cast and origin, of course.

-Turtle van: April's VW is transformed into a battle vehicle in the cartoon. I always thought adapting van was a bit random for combat.
-Bebop & Rocksteady's gang: Purple dragon gang? Seems to make sense considering they were the turtles' first battle in the show and the comics.
-Krang: Confirmed to be influenced, at least design-wise, by Utroms.
-Dimensional portal derived from the transmat?
-Leatherhead and Rat King, naturally.

Is there anything else?
