What is Dimension X?

In the Fred Wolf cartoon, many first got the impression of another dimension or universe, only to within the very next moment hear it's a distant galaxy.

The Archie comics at least were strict when they went the galaxy route (something I like).

The Nickelodeon cartoon seemed to go only the dimension route. But maybe it's a region of space where the Kraang have manipulated everything (time, space, physics). Maybe that region of space is somewhere in the Fred Wolf universe? (so whenever the Nickelodeon turtles go to Dimension X, they go to a strange region of space in the Fred Wolf universe)

I have managed to find parts of the Showdown With Shredder novelization online, describing Dimension X as some kind of region of space.

The Platinum Dunes films mentioned some dimension, but we don't know much more.

I know this has been discussed before, years ago, but after all these crossovers it's time for a new thread. It needs a fresh beginning from scratch again.

Concept art for the PD version calls it “Planet X”
