I agree with Donatello19 that it was some what disappointing that used Bradford's old armor (a nod to the Mirage Shredder outfit) but it was nice to see CD in this incarnation.

Also, you sure Casey didn't say "freaking" ? They use that word a lot in cartoon nowadays which is stand in for frigging.

I'm sorry, but Timothy is NOT gone, Kevin G. He still plays a role in the show. He was even in Donnie's lab in the episode.(I think.)

She's such a tease. I mean dude... you know he has a crush on you. Don't lead him on. Geez.

He is so GONE. Did you not watch Mutagen Man Unleash ?

The mutagen changed him Purple Kraken. Enough said.

True, but it's nothing a little retro-mutagen can't fix.

"Uh... sorry I tried to kill you guys and stuff. So.... um... training next week?"

Oh I agree that the Retro-Mutagen can (and that is a very little can) restore him to his human self if fate allows it.

But with Donnie the only one still calling him Timothy (or perhaps no more) the rest of the Turtles refer to him as Mutagen Man and his Leonardo (which I am trying stress Purple Kraken) that the mutagen really effected him and more importantly changed him. He is dangerous (remember when mutagen dripping from his fingers ?) to the Turtles.

When the Turtles were trying to calm him down, he took it as they were fighting him so he fought back so to him he and the Turtles are enemies.

He is a misunderstood monster. If the Retro-Mutagen is not used on him and for the rest of the series if he stays as Mutagen Man then metaphorically Timothy is dead.

*Papenbrook* · 11-23-2013, 11:20 AM

Okay, the mutagen may have changed Timothy's traits, but he is still Timothy in person.

All I am saying Nick could play a role in Mutagen Man's/Timothy's background.

*NinjaMan* · 11-23-2013, 11:23 AM

Heads up for the West Coast people, turn to Nick 5mins before the TMNT. There will be a commercial talking about family for Thanksgiving and they show a clip of Slash and Mikey. You'll get to see how short he is. And if anyone can, maybe screen grab it?

You have failed to explain to me how Casey's friend Nick played a role in Timothy's life. Therefore I assume you just connecting characters for no apparent reason. The show creators have a unique and talented way of doing that but they don't just go willy-nilly in getting characters to connect with one another. You should go into fan fiction.

In his human life yes, he was Timothy. In person ? Purple Kraken are we watching the same show ? As far as the show continues he is now Mutagen Man. I doubt he will be donning his homemade Ninja Turtle costume over that giant size canister anytime soon.

I know! Donnie is so deep in the friendzone I feel so bad for the guy. Personally, my conscious would eat me up before I would be able to kiss a guy that I knew was interested in me if I didn't reciprocate the feelings. But that's just me.

*drgon78* · 11-23-2013, 12:05 PM

Yeah she is a tease for doing that but it was still funny.

demonsweat · 11-23-2013, 01:02 PM

Chromedome!!! Really great episode, can't wait to watch it again. Nonstop action, I love it!

I'm liking Casey more with every episode. Can't wait until he teams up with the turtles. The animation on his skating was really nice too.

April and Karai battle - very badass. I like that April can't stand up to Karai's skills, but that chick is FEARLESS. This April is completely kickass. She runs straight into battle with no reservation.

Cowabunga in the background! Gotta cap that.

edit: Oh yeah - I LOVE BEING A TURTLE!!!!!!! Yay, Donnie got some sugar finally.

Tromaville!!! I caught that, great reference. Feels good to be one of the big kids watching this show.

He's another random ped that shows up in backgrounds from time to time. I call him Joey Ramone in my head.

Huh, I missed that. They say "freaking" in Adventure Time all the time though, so I wouldn't be surprised.

*Guitar_Raph* · 11-23-2013, 01:02 PM

When will Casey ever meet the TMNT? Would LOL if he told Raph "Hug me brother!"

*Papenbrook* · 11-23-2013, 01:13 PM

I wonder how Mutagen Man will play a part in terms of Casey's development...

I mean, we all know Casey will become an adaptational fighter we all know and love. However, what if Timothy becomes jealous of Casey? Timothy never got the chance to become an actual hero.

I am quite interested in this.

*BabyTurtles* · 11-23-2013, 01:35 PM

throughout the whole episode I wanted one of the turtles to say "Hey! it looks like Chris Bradford!!!"

I was just sitting there waiting.....did they seriously not notice?

anyway YAY more Casey~ BOO more romantic subplot.....YAY April came back~ BOO none of the turtles seemed to care when she was in trouble except Donnie.....YAY for Mikey's belly dancer shadow and how he defeated the robot with his own weapon~!!

all in all I loved the episode :3 I was a bit torn.....cause romance...

its like they have the make the other turtles look bad just so Donnie can look all good and knightly for April

lmao I agree on both counts. It's like those tv shows where they replace an actor and everyone in the show acts like nothing is different. It's like to their eyes, they're seeing a whole new character. It was horriblely done and cheap. The least they could have done is color him silver, similar to the gold Karai bots, though that wouldn't have stopped me from complaining.

Do you also complain that the robot Foot look like the normal ones?

well that's a little bit different

the foot all look the same already....and the robofoot were supposed to look like them to surprise the turtles.

Chris Bradford bot.....had the same clothes as Brad....and there was only one Brad......

the boys took notice in how the robofoot looked like the foot but seemed "different"

they didn't take notice in how THE BRADFORD ROBOT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE BRADFORD!!!

it was just weird....I was expecting at least Mikey to say something.

Awesome episode. Chrome Dome was really neat (Figure, please!), there was some good action, and it had some nice resolution to April's distrust. Very interested in the way they're going about utilizing Casey, as he's been a relatively minor point in both episodes he's appeared in so far. Some major event for his character has gotta be on the horizon and I look forward to seeing what that something is.

Until next week with SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!
