Speculation about Baxter building robot Foot Soldiers

*CyberCubed* · 02-25-2013, 11:02 PM

Now that Baxter has Kraang tech, aside from building Fishface's legs, do you think they're going to build their own army of robots?

I wouldn't mind seeing some robot Foot Soldiers, just as long as the human Foot Soldiers stick around. I definitely do not want to see the human Foot replaced by robots entirely, and it wouldn't make sense for this incarnation because Shredder is the head of the Foot Clan and not living in a Technodrome with Krang like in the old show.

In fact I remember back in the 2011 "mutation in progress" event there was some mention of robot Foot Soldiers eventually being in Shredder's army. I wonder if that idea was kept.

Meh, I'd rather have the kraang and normal foot soilders fight together then a army of robotic foot soilders.

I think Shredder's going to have a huge army built and then the Kraang override it all.

How about the Super Mouser like in the 1989 NES game and that flying hovercraft that drops mousers from the Arcade Game?

Well if you look way back at post #7 of the official Nick series thread, it shows that the Kraang will kidnap and mutate lots of humans and that they will be trained by the Shredder to become the robotic Foot Soldiers. Now this was two years ago so the development may have changed, but given that Baxter is rumored to use a robotic suit, he will use it to assist in developing the Foot. That said, we could use the Purple Dragons as the "human Foot" without the armor and the robot Foot Soldiers used as recurring enemies, though I'd like to see them with special powers such as laser blasters, missles, and hypnotic powers to not just give an OT-ish charm, but also to allow more vivid fighting since they aren't made of blood.

I guess robot Foot Soldiers would be ok but I would prefer it if Shredder made Stockman build something more powerful. I mean, he does have Kraang technology now so why waste it on something the turtles can overpower with little effort?

*chrisdude* · 02-26-2013, 12:04 PM

I'm not so big on the robot stuff.

The fighting looks cool in this show, and I just don't like that the turtles spend more time fighting monsters and machines than martial arts enemies. And I don't count the Foot, since they're so worthless in combat. I want more enemies like Xever, Bradford and Karai.

Maybe if they were ninja robots? Like enhanced, but still use hand-to-hand combat?

*Jephael* · 02-28-2013, 01:36 PM

What if Shredder decides to enlist the Kraang to become Foot Soldiers? I can definitly see that happening.

*Zulithe* · 02-28-2013, 01:40 PM

I don't know, I kinda want the kraang and the foot to remain independent forces. wouldn't mind if they teamed up for a storyline or two but i like having them as separate entities both after the turtles

What would make you think from anything anywhere we have ever seen of the Kraang any of them would be the least bit interested in becoming Shredder's Foot Soldiers?

Good idea, I like this^

*Zulithe* · 02-28-2013, 02:37 PM

With baxter on their side there are lots of possibilities. Ninja robots are okay with me. As long as ALL of the footsoldiers are not robots. I never liked that aspect of the OT

Maybe the Kraang would join forces with Shredder in order to dispose of the TMNT.

Cue the Kraang Queen, and we're back to square 1... 987.

*Shark_Blade* · 02-28-2013, 06:24 PM

As long the turtles kick butts, I don't mind.

*miru* · 05-06-2013, 09:22 AM

Maybe Chrome Dome is first.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 05-06-2013, 01:13 PM

No need for Foot soldier robots. The turtles can hack and slash the Kraang's robots without any ethics and moral dilemma. We need the ordinary Foot Ninja as human enemies. I doubt this show will have as many human enemies as the 1987 one.

*Donatello19* · 05-06-2013, 03:20 PM

What they said was that the Kraang would be trained to be Foot Soldiers.

I am kinda digging that idea, think it would be pretty bad a**!

*Drose18* · 05-06-2013, 07:34 PM

I say no robo foots! Also why would he build robot foot soldiers if he ran away with his propeller cap thing... And how would he know how to? He seems pretty dumb or at least not as smart as say 2k3 Baxter but he dosent seem to understand the vast and endless possibilities of Kraang Tech. (I sound like don)
