What's wrong with the Nick Technodrome™?

[Konchadunga]

I'd argue that the old design capitalizes a bit more on its owners' nature. A key point for both series is that Krang/The Kraang aren't just extraterrestrial; they're extra-dimensional. To this end, a base doesn't necessarily need to fly through space, so tank treads emphasize that it just goes through portals. Even though that's what the new one did, too, its design is a bit more generic as alien motherships go, as if it was actually designed to fly through space.

Given all that, I have no preference for a Technodrome exterior. The new design fits its new function (ie, less of a massive offensive vehicle and more of a mobile base to prepare others to attack), and I'm very pleased that this show is glad to make past nods, but not to the point that it loses its creativity; a trap into which IDW falls pretty hard. Especially given they are going to crossover with the Fred Wolf series, establishing differences is a great idea.

However, I definitely like the Fred Wolf interior better. It looked weird, but it did give the sense of being a military base/vehicle. The new Technodrome's interior is just weird; it looks like it was designed as a shout out to Yellow Submarine or something. I'm one of the viewers on whom the stylized sequences of this show still haven't grown, and at this point I doubt they ever will, though that's not a big deal for me.
