Turtles are going to the 80s! Maybe Kurtzman is the Fugetoid? And now that we know they go to Dimension X, maybe they get Leatherhead?

Summary of the panel:

NYCC: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Season 2 - The 1980s Turtles Will Cameo
Lots of info on what to expect.
by Eric Goldman OCTOBER 11, 2013

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles panel at New York Comic Con tonight was a big crowd-pleaser, with fans cheering and screaming for Ciro Nieli (executive producer), Brandon Aumen (head writer), Greg Cipes (Michaelengelo), Rob Paulsen (Donatello) and Hoon Lee (Splinter). The entire Season 2 premiere was shown - but we'll have more about that this weekend, after you all see it, in Max Nicholson's review.

However, plenty of other new details were revealed, along with a lot of glimpses at what was to come via early, animatic footage.

The classic -- albeit not exactly ominous -- character Pizza Face will be introduced, in a very funny way. Sounding much like Wario, when he’s first called Pizza Face, he responds, “I lika-that. Because I got-a pizza for a face!” One sequence showed Pizza Face having taken control of Raph, Leo and Don, making them attack Mike. As Mike is forced to fight his brothers, he apologies as he hits them, “Sorry, Don! Sorry, Leo!” Until he gets to Raphael and says, “Not sorry, Raph!”

There will an upcoming episode near the end of the episode set entirely in Dimension X. However, Nieli promised, “Even before that we get into some inter-dimensional problems.” His big reveal was that at one point, an inter-dimensional rift will tear open to a 1980s universe with some familiar characters – the 1980s animated Ninja Turtles! Nieli stressed it was just a cameo, but that yes, Rob Paulsen will speak to himself, via current Don and classic Raph.

April’s psychic abilities will be further explored, as we meet a character named Kurtzman, voiced by none other than Robert Forster, fresh off his appearance on Breaking Bad. We saw a scene in which Kurtzman tells the Turtles and April that the Kraang have been attempting to terraform the Earth for thousands of years, but needed a “specific chain of human DNA.” He then takes out a photo of a baby girl, making April stare in shock.

Shredder will go on a journey of his own, leaving Karai in charge. He will meet up with Tiger Claw, who was mutated as a boy into a tiger creature, growing up as a circus performer before becoming part of the underworld. Nieli said Tiger Claw gave them an opportunity to finally have “The cat vs. the rat,” and we saw an animatic of Tiger Claw facing off with Splinter and the two leaping at each other.

Thanks for the information..

Since Karai will be left in charge hope we get more of Leo V.S Karai action

Edit;

Why so much tease if it's a cameo? Now I'm sad, was really looking forward to that one

[NinjaMan]

Tiger Claw has an interesting background. Him and Splinter fighting should be awesome.

[Zulithe]

Cool, Robert Forster!
Ya know what other Breaking Bad alum I'd love to see in TMNT?
Brandon Mayhew! :p

[drgon78]

Sounds like a lot is going on this season. I hope there will be more character development and plot driven episodes this season.

[bridgegrn]

I can't wait to see if they stick with 2d for the 80s turtles or do cg versions. Would also be awesome to see the Nick turtles go off on 80s Shredder.

Pizza face? Talks like Wario? So much win.

[CyberCubed]

So Pizzaface is now literally a blob of pizza?

*shakes head*

I for once agree with you.
I'm starting to feel like this show has become more Power Rangers like with its monster mutations rather than mutants who have personality.
This has got to be one of my least favorite designs right next to Kirbys mutation.

I'd be happy to watch/listen to this panel, but the reports are mostly disappointing...

I wish they would have just kept their mouths shut about the whole OT crossover thing and let it surprise us if it's just gonna be a cameo. Instead, they erroneously reported that it would be an hour long special. ****ers.

Interesting that The Kraang have been after Earth for thousands of years. That could open up origin stories certain mythical/legendary creatures (in a cooler way than the 07 movie did).

The cat/rat dynamic between Tigerclaw and Splinter is something I didn't think about, and pretty much rules out Old Hob ever showing up. Not that he was ever gonna.

Other than that... nothing big. Oh well. Excited for tomorrow
