I mean specifically in TMNT. I don't follow any of those other series close enough to have an opinion on what they've done either way. I hate all of Volume 4, so the Battle Nexus crap is just another part of that and I don't care what happens with it. I wouldn't say I was "worked up" about the Ancient One bit, but it remains my opinion that I did not like it.

Why wouldn't Triceratons exist in movieverse?

But why the hell would they exist? If effort were made to establish them as part of their universe, I wouldn't care so much (although I've personally grown tired of the Triceratons in general in recent years). But in that book without explanation at all, not only do Triceratons exist, but the Turtles are hunting them in the sewers. It's just a big WTF? for me.

For me personaly I understand that the likes of Bebop and Rocksteady should really remain in the 80's and 90's but I've always thought it was slightly closed minded to ignore characters like say Armaggon who Laird had a hand in creating and wouldn't feel that out of place in Mirage or current cartoon.

Armaggon is one of my all-time favorite characters, so it would be hard for me to say "No" to anything involving him, but I do think I'd have to do just that for him appearing in Mirage. I would have been ok with him showing up in the current cartoon if it involved adapting one or more stories with him from the Archie books. I don't think I'd support him just showing up out of the blue.

It's no secret that the Mirage turtles have a limited rogues gallery. While I would like new bad guys I don't see the problem with introducing villians that have already proven themselves in other media. At very least its better than random aliens that Tales seems to have a lot of.

I do agree that we need new/more villains, but I stand by my opinion that bringing in Hun is not the best move (and like I said, call him Fred and I'm cool with him).

Moreso than just creating new villains, though, I think it's important to give the TMNT an actual purpose to fight for. They've been kind of wandering aimlessly ever since the end of City At War, which brought to an end the purpose they fought for/against up until that point. Nothing new was ever established after that. Laird seems hesitant to brand them as crime fighters, which I can understand because they never were crime fighters to start with, but a comic about ninjas who don't ninja (for example, Volume 4) is damn boring.
