In searching the net I found out they were going to do a Mutanimals toon series! I would have loved that! I found this info in an old thread:

Back in 1992 the Mutanimals were being shopped around by Mirage as a spin-off of the turtles. Ruby-Spears showed some interest, so an animation bible was produced along with a style guide of all the characters, environs and vehicles by some Hollywood animator (I forget who). Plot synopses for the first season were completed, with the 13 episodes centered around the Mutanimals' efforts to combat an invasion by Maligna.

All the regular cast of the Mutanimals make the transition, although they were redesigned - streamlined you might say - to accommodate budgetary restrictions in the animation process.

Krang makes the jump from the TMNT universe to become the main villain and friend of Maligna. A host of villains both new and old are on board to help keep the Mutanimals on their toes.

Of note, you will be pleased to hear, the Mutanimals get a new member: Ninjara joins the group.

The Turtles guest star in the first 4 episodes.

In Episode 9 the Mutanimals go to Dimension X to meet Cudley the Cowlick.
I have seen pics of designs & sketches for characters online. Looks like a lot of TMNT Adventure charcters were going to be used. I would have loved to have seen the toys these would have helped to get made! It also showed Scum Bug was going to be used since he only had one ep. in TMNT. Does anyone have these pics to post on here or know anything else?
