A Continuity Paradox

I was just thinking about something I find odd among Turtle fans. According to polls on this forum, the most popular versions of the Turtles seem to be from the first cartoon. I say "seem to be", as I'm only judging by the polls on everyone's favorite versions of Mike and Raph, both of which are liked most in their old school forms. However, another poll revealed that turtle fans on this forum like their storylines more action-y than lighthearted. One might presume that putting old-school characters into more action-oriented plotlines might be a reasonable comprimise, but the Red Sky turtle series did that, and was not well-received.

So here's an intriguing question: If you were to take various elements from the various Turtle continuities in order to make a totally new one, what would said elements be?
