TMNT (1987 cartoon) Talkback "Hot Rodding Teenagers from Dimension X"

[sdp]

The characters became regular recurring characters and somewhat semi-important though really the rocksoldiers never got a time to shine from what I've seen. But how can you look at the 5 part pilot and say it belongs there, it feels clearly out of place, all the other episodes have some clear connection/arc going on. They obviously connected it but it doesn't fit like the other episodes do.
