What was your favorite TMNT incarnation as a Kid?

Even though the animated series got me started in the TMNT fandom it wasn't my favorite media, my primordial problem with the series was its kid friendly focus, It may sound weird considering I was only 7, but after seeing shows like Transformers, Ghostbusters and GI Joe this was kind of lame.

I think the concept of Mutant Ninja turtles was its biggest attractive, but the fact that they never kicked or punched the villains and prefered to give more episodes to crappy characters like Big Louie instead of Mutagen Man and other cool characters was a real downer.

Thats why I loved the Action figures alot more, the designs where more dark, it had a ton of cool mutants and you could make your own stories kicking the crap out of your enemies. Second to the series there was the Video games, like the Arcade game wich captured the essence of the first season.

My third place was occupied by the Archie comics, they had more action and better plot than de animated show.

So what was your favorite incarnation of the TMNT as a kid?
