Now that any mutant can be 'undone', to me at least, it makes the show a little less interesting. Whenever someone ends up being 'mutated', it's not something permanent and substantial anymore. It's not going to be as special or shocking.

It'd be cool for the Shredder to use this against them, and Donnie has to destroy everything that helped him make the retro mutagen.

Bottom Line: I don't want the retro mutagen to be around too long

Actually, the Foot would have a hard time in making a retromutagen because they don't have April. And I doubt the Turtles will blurt out what April is, or that they need her DNA to make it and why.

Plus it takes 10 months to create another batch, even with a tank full of the stuff. So any mutants will still be mutants for the better part of a year, or even if they want to be changed back, since most of the mutated-animal ones don't seem to want to revert back to their animal forms.. And if a human is double-mutated (as in the case of Rahzar) then they might not be able to be cured at all.
