Favorite TMNT ally

Throughout the incarnations there have been several allies of the TMNT. A number of them are exclusive to just one version or maybe is just a toy. Of all of the allies that the turtles have had over the years who is your top three?

I always enjoyed seeing the Punk Frogs above all others. They were just plain fun and are another team of mutants similar to the turtles. I hope to get to see them beyond a half a dozen appearances in the '87 series and the anime special. I have always wanted to see them in comic form and reworked beyond the "punk" name and given broader personalities.

Casey Jones is my second favorite. He is portrayed a little different everytime. He is with the TMNT everytime except for the Archie series. I always liked the toned down Dirty Harry/Wayne Gretsky hybrid as Peter once referered to that portayal as. I also liked the mystery in him that you never see his face while it is shown every other iteration. Great to see him in the movies and in the 2003 series though I felt like he was used too much in the second cartoon. I like him as a reoccuring character opposed to regular since it makes his appearances more special.

Miyamoto Usagi is my third favorite. Its great that he has been allowed to be apart of the TMNT lore thanks to Stan Saki. He is a brave and ignorant warrior in the '87 series. His storyline was never finished like it should have been with a third appearance to send him home. In the 2003 series he got an even better usage and even explored his cast of characters. I hope even if Nickeledon owns the property opposed to Stan's best friend we can have Usagi mingle with the TMNT more and not just Leonardo.

There are several other interesting characters the turtles have met but none for me are nearly as fun and interesting as the Punk Frogs, Casey Jones, and Miyamoto Usagi. Some of you may love the characters as much as I do or more or rather not see them again. What three characters that were the TMNT's allies that you would like to see again?
