Any chance we'll see Rocksteady & Bebop in the new series?

*TigerClaw* · 10-11-2012, 03:14 PM

I saw the first two episodes of the new TMNT series and really enjoyed it. It seems we will be seeing some new new mutants appear on the new series in the coming episodes.

But I wonder if they will bring back Rocksteady and Bebop? It would be cool to see them return on this new series. So far from what I have seen from the action figures, There's a Giant Mutated Dog name Dogpound who works for Shredder as well as a Mutated Fish.

We'll probably see them in Season 2. They obviously wanted to introduce new mutants first for a new series before they start bringing back familiar faces.

Bebop and Rocksteady are way too popular in TMNT lore and with a comedy series such as this they'd fit in perfectly. With no Peter Laird in charge I'd say it is a given we'll see them eventually. They're saving them for Season 2 like Casey Jones.

Yeah, Even if they work for the Shredder, they always provided comic relief.

I doubt they will appear since like others have pointed out, Dogpound and Fishface look like they'll be taking their place in the series. The only way I see them appearing on the show would maybe be a brief cameo.

I doubt that we see the two of them brought back. They weren't in the 2003 series either (aside from Turtles Forever). I think the most likely thing to see is a reference/easter egg that in relation to the two of them (and I doubt we even see that).

I hope we see them, but it appears unlikely.

I'd be happy if their human counterparts were part of the Purple Dragons.

They weren't in 4kids because of Peter Laird.

How is that relevant now?

*Allio* · 10-12-2012, 08:05 AM

I don't want them to appear, let the 87 cartoon keep something original for itself... tough I don't care much for their appearance in the IDW series. I'm actually more interested in Dogpound, and see where that goes

*BubblyShell22* · 10-12-2012, 08:12 AM

Honestly, I could care less if we see them or not.

*The Stryker* · 10-12-2012, 09:02 AM

So there's a bit of care there for you.

I would be fine with them showing up. Rather them over stupid POS characters like Fugitoid or Bishop.

They already have appeared in IDW tmnt comics they are not 87 cartoon excuslive characters anymore.

No one expected them to appear in IDW comics but they did . It is still possible that they might appear in Nickelodeon cartoon.

Uh oh, don't let Laird here you talking bad about Fugitoid.

*The Stryker* · 10-12-2012, 10:42 AM

Oh boy. What's he gonna do? Write poorly at me?

Pssssshhh.

*Xav* · 10-12-2012, 11:30 AM

It was a joke man.

*pannoni1* · 10-12-2012, 12:07 PM

We had a thread of this same question back in February, and my thoughts have not changed since, though it sums this question up to a T. After all, until a statement by Nick says "Final episode" or "cancelled" appears, there's always the possibility at the very least a reference, such as Hopsteady (if they use a mutant rabbit since Usagi won't be used) and Popbob (4kids had the rhino and warthog).

Yeah, they are popular with Fred Wolf fans. But kids watching this series have no idea who they are.

Kids in the 80's thought a mutated rhino and a warthog who shot guns and mutated from street punks were cool.

If kids in 2012 don't find that cool I feel sorry for them.

*Xav* · 10-12-2012, 03:52 PM

When did they ever use shotguns? I thought they only used laser guns.

Lampy · 10-12-2012, 07:36 PM

since it is a kid's show... characters like bebop and rocksteady could work. But I doubt they'll show up. It seems as though nick is trying to establish all-new original characters. Which is why we got snakeweed, spiderbytez and the other mutants cropping up soon. I think that, aside from the key characters, nickelodeon is trying to avoid copying other incarnations with only minor homages. Though I'd love to see how they're handled in this show.
