Baxter Stockman As Shredder's Assistant

*MikeandRaph87* · 01-04-2016, 09:42 AM

Baxter Stockman is forced to mass produce his creation for The Shredder against his will. So Baxter is not actually evil at least as shown in episode three, A Thing About Rats". Shredder even moved to have him killed. Why pick Baxter Stockman out of the asylum story-wise then? Creative-wise I always wondered why have him be Shredder's help for a mere 6 episodes only to remove him and have what would become the traditional Bebop and Rocksteady accompany Shredder on every mission? It seems like it would have been either long-term or not done at all. I was curious if David Wise, Fred Wolf, or another mentioned why have Baxter on and then have him mutate into a fly of all things before leaving the show as a regular. Thank you for any incite.
