What do you think the turtles will look like?

Or artist screw-up.

Since the pre-mutated turtles are inside a habitat in Baxter's lab more suited to a semi-aquatic turtle or a tortoise since the pond looks extremely small in that terrarium, and looks more like a drinking water pond then actual swimming area.

Not to mention sea turtles require immensely large tanks, they are also high maintenance for food. And last but not least. Sea turtles are illegal to own, not sure if Baxter Stockman would go the extreme way of getting baby (cause those turtles are tiny for sea turtles) sea turtles, when he could just get his assistant to buy some pet store turtles down the corner.

But yes, they are drawn in the final product as sea turtles. So maybe Krang provided Baxter with sea turtles from his island.

but artist didn't care about that stuff, he just found a picture of the turtles he liked the most and drew them, suspend your disbelief a little, will you? plus all the illegal **** that they where doing at that lab owning a illegal turtles would be least of their worries...

I think bamboo armour has been confirmed by Powder.

I have no problem of suspending my disbelief, but things just don't add up. especially if Baxter wants his test subjects live long enough to do the proper testings. Clearly the sea turtles babies do not have the proper treatment to live very long.

it's considerably harder to get a hold of sea turtles babies since they are illegal. it would be much safer to just get a few pet store turtles. How stupid would it be on Baxter's part if his shady but seemingly legal by the publics view suddenly gets their entire operation busted due to getting some of the most endangered and illegal animals to hold.

Not to mention illegal sea turtles would probably cost a lot more then fresh water turtles. And not a few bucks, we're talking over hundreds to thousands of dollars.

I don't think you understand the seriousness of holding illegal sea turtles. Baxter could try smuggle in South China Tigers or Black Rhinos, same deal.

El Mayimbe from Latino Review said on Twitter that he’s got something to “show” us about TMNT. He specifically emphasised that he’s not going to tell us anything, but instead "show". I reckon it could be the Turtles’ designs, or at least one of them.

Didn't give a date?

Is El Mayimbe a reliable source?

Good stuff. And yes, more often than not, El Mayimbe is pretty reliable.

[Mr.Green]

Ok, now I'm excited.

I'm thinking its just a concept art but anything that gives us a first look at the turtles is welcome

[Teal Turtle]

Man.... my body is so ready!

Do you think this movie is going to have a Superbowl spot?

So you all saw what they look like

[Bob]

So, one way or another, we’ll all be put out of our misery very soon.

I have a feeling I will LOVE the new look.
