He was white in the 80's cartoon.

I am not very excited. Why they didnt do something new with him? Why do the same thing twice? He was a mutant fly in the OT a brain in robot in 2K3 and a cyborg in Mirrage. Nick should have mutated him into another animal . Or for a change he could have stayed human till the end of the series. Yes i know that they are doing it to please those fans of the OT but it would have been better if they did something different.

Check this out! I would like to see that film on the way off chance it is ever made!

I never really like the mechanical suit Baxter wears. To me Baxter Stockamn = Fly. Im excited. Now I just need to get caught up on the cartoon! haha

Bossa Nova · 07-21-2013, 07:32 PM

Sure, I'm on board with this. I've only seen a handful of episodes from the OT (mostly the later ones), so I never really got the whole hype about Baxter being a fly. But I really like the design they showed for him so I'm pretty open to see how this will be played out. Besides, I kind of like how Baxter always seems to be the one poor dude who just has bad situation after bad situation thrown at him, so there's a possibility this won't be the only thing he turns into/has happened to him that changes his physical appearance.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 07-21-2013, 07:52 PM

I'm okay with him being a fly now. I like that they showed both sides of Baxter giving him a time with his machines and mechanical nature, before just mutating him. It will be interesting to see how this goes though.

Baxter is also white in the Fred Wolf cartoon. Baxter is white in Archie because it started as a adaptation in the beginning of the cartoon.

His first action figure is also white as you can see his skin color on the human parts of his body. And the video games from the Fred Wolf era

Baxter was a black guy in Mirage, hence why he was black in the 2003 series and why he is black in Nick. In Vol. 2 of the Mirage series, Baxter transferred his brain into a cyborg body of sorts. I agree that it will be interesting to see how they pull off the fly thing with a black Baxter.

You need to delve more into the TMNT world man..

*BubblyShell22* · 07-22-2013, 05:13 PM

I'm all on board with this. I love how Nick is paying homage to the original toon, and I can't wait to see how they handle his mutation here.

KaijuHQ · 07-23-2013, 12:03 PM

Nice to see the old fly Baxter back!

I agree and I can't wait either.

Nickelodeon has impressed us so far, and I have no doubt they'll disappoint their fans with Baxter Stockman's Fly mutation.

*CyberCubed* · 08-02-2013, 11:05 PM

Its worth nothing that this is the first time BLACK Baxter has become a fly. Prior to this Baxter-fly was only ever associated with white Baxter.

In Mirage and 4kids Baxter became a cyborg, and IDW's Baxter is still human. So this is the first black Baxter to become a fly.

*Eiko* · 08-02-2013, 11:06 PM

I would have liked it if Baxter would stay human have him And Don working together in an ep guess if he keeps his smarts might still happen there is always the IDW Baxter i guess.

Gin Rummy · 08-02-2013, 11:23 PM

I'm really excited to see how his new look will translate into the show. I think he looks pretty cool. (His big head makes me think that his action figure will be hard too stand though.)

Vivi · 08-03-2013, 04:50 AM

Baxter is pretty boring so far, so I guess it will be an improvement?

Retromute · 08-03-2013, 10:41 AM

Fantastic..... Always wondered if they would change him

Little?. When Baxter was dismembered in 2k3, it was quite violent, at the point to be one of the darkest scenes on the show.

I hope Baxter kepts his intellect unlike the old toons who turned dumb in each apparence. But why Baxter has to became a mutant fly in first place in this Nick's toon.

LittleBlueHero · 08-06-2013, 03:25 PM

So do we have any Black characters left on the show? Baxter and Xever are both mutated now... does that still count?

Im thinking in our politically correct society they will be introducing at least one new African-American Character. Maybe Hun will make an appearance as a Black Male? I don't think it would effect his character at all.

I dunno... just surprised me I guess.

*Andrew NDB* · 08-06-2013, 03:30 PM

Not surprised in the slightest. Pretty unique design, though.
