Crossovers with the OT

[sdp]

With crossovers now being a thing that may become regularly I think a thread is needed in this topic, especially for fans of the OT who don't necessarily like the other incarnations and to discuss continuity here since it affects the OT.

"But sdp continuity is not important for this crossovers!"
While this is true; This is a TMNT forum created for the OT and a place for fans to geek out, so what's wrong with going far and above to what anyone who ever worked on the franchise ever cared for? That's what fandoms are for.

So first of all we now know thanks to Trans-Dimensional turtles that Krang's origin in the OT is that he is a member of The Kraang from the Nick Universe, funnily enough there was a thread about we never really knew more about what happened, I guess we no longer have to wonder. But does this contradict anything big in the OT? I only watched the first two seasons of the Nick show before taking a hiatus and that was a while ago so I don't really remember how the species of The Kraang was being handled. We know he was banished to Dimension X but wasn't it because of his War crimes? And wasn't Dimension X an actual galaxy in the OT or was that the Archie universe? I guess people will point out that Krang had a real body but like I've argued in the past in that episode its never specified that it was his original body, just that he got a body.


Second are there any big contradictions between Turtles Forever and Trans-Dimensional Turtles? I don't think so and I'm guessing this episode takes place after Turtles Forever since unlike the anniversary special the OT turtles aren't as surprised by their Nick counterparts while the Nick versions are shocked. Krang even mentions that they brought their counterparts. When they go to the Prime universe (again called Prime like in TF) while it implies he doesn't know where he is he doesn't outright say it so he could very well know he's in the Prime universe again. It makes sense that Krang knew he head to destroy this reality to destroy all the others since he found out in TF (the contradiction there is that last time he saved the turtleverses since he didn't want to die but didn't seem to care here). As to why the Mirage turtles hunted down the turtles again, well maybe they just didn't realize what was going on or who they were and that's why they hunted them down or an even better explanation that I came up with is the Prime timeline here is actually before Turtles Forever so they're chasing these other turtles and see them disappear, shortly after they see the OT turtles with the 2k3 turtles and attack because they know something fishy is going on with those dimesion hopping turtles that they had already encountered!



So I guess we can use this thread for any crossovers, am I missing another obscure crossover? I know the IDW comic had an anniversary issue but there was no dimensional travel was there? I guess there's the Cartoon All-Stars To the Rescue special can now be considered canon as well if anyone wants to dig into that
