That'd be useful in a close quarter fight.

Maybe the idea (I mean the idea the turtles had, not the idea the animators had) was for one of the turtles to have a more ranged attack. Leo, Don, and Raph all have weapons that are best for fighting close up. Sure they could throw their weapons, but they probably wouldn't get 'em back. With Mike's grappling hook, he can cover the others from behind.

And I'd just like to note that I liked the more humorous Old Toon more than Red Sky. Not that Red Sky was bad, but it was just a bit of an awkward change for me when I witnessed the change.
