Wyrm, originally meant to be a foot?

[JaffleMan]

I was just reading a couple of the bio's from the old toyline off of the official website, but when i came across Wyrm's I couldn't help but think
that maybe this character was originally meant to have been part of the foot clan.

One day, a mild-mannered trash man slipped and fell headlong into Shredder's garbage bin. The resulting nightmare: Wyrm - a planetarium warped and wiggly creepy crawler. Embarrassed by his slimy stench, this greedy garbage ghoul gathers gunk from the bowels of the sewers. This head honcho of the Unsanitation Department has a voracious appetite for munchy mouth worms, which make his eyes bulge with hunger. Tenderizing rancid rubbish with his trash compactor mallet, Wyrm's got the belly of a beast - and the breath to prove it. Only Muckman's foul enough to be Wyrm's friend. Mostly, though, no one likes to get too close to Wyrm - and that's why he's one solitary slitherer.

What got me was the reference to Muckman being the only one foul enough to be his friend, plus Wyrm does look more like he should ahve been a villain rather than a hero, any thoughts?
