Which Stockman transformation do you prefer...I think. In which case I picked the fly. There is something terrifying about a giant fly. Also, shouldn't this be on the General Discussion?

I like the cyborg Baxter more because it shows off his awesome building skills that can rival anything Don can come up with. Baxter as the fly felt more like an accident

Yup I think it's a more of a tmnt general discussion though .

Cyborg all the way. I like the fly mutation itself, but I feel like almost any new character could be the fly mutant without it changing the role much. But robotics-based villainy is Baxter's arena, so having him be the robot-creating/cyborg villain just feels like a better fit for him specifically.

Either one is fine, but I wish the Nick series would have chosen a more unique mutation/transformation for Baxter.

Honestly I'd rather him stay human, but if I had to choose between a fly and a cyborg, i'm going with the fly.

I'm cool with both.
I'd be cool if he stayed a human too

Cyborg but I would have preferred something different as oppose to something that's done in the past.

I prefer something new, i worry about if he turned into a fly, because he'd become dumber as his OT's counterpart.

I don't like a cyber Baxter (As his 2k3 counterpart) because the way he turned into a Cyber, is because Shredder maimed him, in mirage comic it's because Baxter's own arrogance and madness.

Despite the fact that I preferred 2k3 over the original series, I have to go with Fly Baxter.

In all honesty, I was expecting him to develop a cyborg fly suit or something for himself in this series, keep the goofy feel the character has, address the 80's and 2003 toons takes on the character and still keep his human form.

Now that we know what direction he's going in the show, I'm really looking forward to it. While I can understand why some fans are not sold on the mutant fly concept, saying it's been done before, they should have kept him human, or they just don't like it- it's understandable. Personally, I really like it.
I like the call back to the original cartoon series, and in some way it feels like they added the shock value of the 2003 series, giving a us a humorous and terrifying new spin on the Baxterfly. But the one thing that really stands out for me, it's a further reminder of just how risky their getting with this new series- I really didn't expect the series to get this creepy... I LOVE IT!

This. IDW did something similar where Baxter actually created cyborg fly mutants as his own personal army, but I'd rather seem him become a cyborg fly mutant.

I chose both...depends on the universe we are talking about. Fly Baxter would not have worked in 2k3, just like cyborg Baxter would have been strange in OT (if u ask me).
