Who owns the Technodrome in the original cartoon, Krang or Shredder?

Maybe that's because Shredder never did any laundry. I mean, why ELSE were they always wearing the SAME clothes?! (I sure hope the Technodrome had a good air-filtration/purification system. The stench in there must've been RANK!)

A second miniature one as you mentioned was build in Planet of The Turtles by foot soldiers as well but this time directed by Chrome Dome and in New York City opposed to the Earth's core. The only time it could have been mentioned would have been in the first few episodes. Krang references to Tragg and Granitor that his body was taken from him when he was banished to "this miserable mud ball". So I guess we could assume either way. I just don't understand when the Neutrinos or whomever banished Krang why let him keep the Technodrome in the other dimension? That is like saying" don't blow up our home blow up this other person's home!". It does not sit well with me. With that logic right or wrong it is Beserko designing the Technodrome instead of building it makes sense.

The turtles do the same thing though, they make the portal invert or whatever then gtfo and the Technodrome sucks into itself into some other space time. Presumably, some Neutrinos or someone did the same thing to Krang and sent him to Earth, and during that destroyed his body somehow. I guess it depends on if his banishment was like a ceremony at the end of a warcrimes trial or a TMNT-style "do what we gotta do to get him the hell out of here" mission.

I guess we're supposed to assume the technodrome shows up underground in new york and Shredder finds it somehow (maybe it was under his Ninja Business block?) and works out a deal to get tech from Krang. You'd think Shredder would just kill him then and take it, Krang must have made a good argument that it would be useless without him / that he knew how to get more stuff for him.

I assume that Berzerko/Drakus designed the Technodrome. Krang apparently either stole or memorized the designs. After Krang was exiled to Earth, he met Shredder. Combing Krang's knowledge and Shredder's resources, they built the Technodrome. So I kind of consider it to be both of theirs.

I assume the Neutrinos banished him through the same way the Turtles did. They never really went into detail about him losing his body. Did they strip him of his body? I don't recall him saying they did. When Tragg asked him he said. "It's a long story...I lost it when the banished me to this miserable mudball." Perhaps he lost his body through other means.

LOL I did not see this until now. Well done, Jester.

You guys ever wonder what Shredder's room looks like? We know he has a collection of porcelain so he must live in the technodrome with Krang.

I'm picturing a dart board with the turtles' faces on it.

Okay, that last sentence made me laugh.
As far as I know, the only time that we see anything that might have resembled Shred's quarters was in an episode Mr. Ogg Goes to Town, although Shredder made a snarky comment to Krang in which he said "What does it look like..my apartment?" in Venice in a Half Shell.
So honestly, who really knows?

[KRANGANDMIKEYFAN]

It's Krang's.

[neatoman]

So disregarding my joke post from eight years ago, it's clearly Krang. Early on you could assume the Technodrome was merely built with the technological advancements Krang gave Shredder, but over time it became more clear that Krang brought it over from Dimension X. How or why he had it when he was supposed to be banished to earth for crimes he supposedly committed using the Technodrome is it's own can of worms.

Doesn't really matter who owns it, does it? I seriously doubt they pay property or vehicle taxes for it. The city of New York could have made a lot of money by taxing Shredder and Krang.

But, that would require those two dolts to go out and find legit jobs to pay for those taxes. I doubt that either one of them could hold a job down for very long. One is halfway volatile and the other would rather enslave humanity than help it for the better..

Bebop and Rocksteady could -maybe(?)- get a job, but my faith in them is about slim-to-nil as well.

Bebop and Rocksteady got jobs at Channel 6 that one time and even got promoted by Burne though

Krang owns it, how is this a question. The backstory of the show just shows Shredder growing up in Japan and then takes control of the Foot Clan. Where would he have the resources to build the Technodrome from? It's Krang's battlestation from Dimension X.

[mikey22]

I'd say Krang all the way

I honestly forgot about that episode. It was the one when they were visually changed to their former human appearances, but it wasn't an all-day effect.
