Spoiler:

I find the most amusing thing about it is that Rex-1's name in Japan appears to be "RoboCop". -DrSpengler

tOkKa recently spent 15 valuable hours of his day scanning and uploading loads of pages from the TMNT manga series [issues 5 & 8].


I draw your attention to the Japanese take on the episode, "New York's Shiniest," which differs substantially from the TV episode
Take the ending, for example:

Even you can't read the language (and, hey, that's most of us!), you should notice that Rex's strategy for defeating those evil robot cops is quite a bit difference from the campy TV episode, as illustrated in this UK comic adaptation:
