Shredder Elite

As I was working on a project that involved me going over the issues with the Shredder Elite with a fine tuned comb

Spoiler:

, I began to wonder just what the origins of said entities. Saki goes over the part that they were made from the colony worms just as he is, but prior to reading that issue, I had assumed that all four of them were made from colony worms that had fed on Saki's remains, but upon further review, it turns out that only the worms that made up the body of the new Saki ate the flesh of the original Shredder. So, whose remains were the other three fed, why are they dressed like The Shredder, and why were they so horribly mutated?

Furthermore, their origins are even more of a mystery in the 2003 series. Don refers to them as clones, but as we later learn, Shredder is actually the Utrom Ch'rell, and thus is an unlikely candidate for being cloned into those monsters. The synopsis for the episode, on ninjaturtles.com, also confirms that they are not clones, and only refers to them as such out of convenience.
