First of all, your 4 year old rocks.

Second, I wish I would've seen that commercial... I remember reading that Slash would be in scale with the turtles, so I suppose it makes sense that he fits in that way. It looks like his weapon will possibly be the mace that April couldn't pick up in "Baxter's Gambit".

Haha thanks! Yeah that's what threw me off. His art makes him look huge. Then I saw him next to Mikey and I was like what? LOL

From the quick scene they showed he wasn't too much taller than Mikey LOL. It looked weird because he's bulkier than Raph.

It just showed Mikey talking and Slash next to him. I think they were on a rooftop? I couldn't really hear it cause I was doing something else and it caught me off guard lol. But Slash had his mask and gear on already.

It sure didn't when the Fred Wolf turtles called Shredder that, first. Yet it really doesn't either way. If you want to get technical, just about everyone is an old character kids don't know.

"Turtlecest" is by far my most hated thing about this fandom, and given its amounts of nostalgia-crazed purists of various stripes, that's saying a lot.

As worrisome as it is that they're obviously building to a love-triangle, I have to give them one thing; finally, April's own opinion is taken into account. It's also nice to see someone other than Splinter teach the lesson of the week, for once.

*NinjaPug* · 11-23-2013, 07:49 PM

Just watched the episode.

- Interesting interpretation of Chrome Dome. The fact that they recycled the Bradford suit from Ep 4 doesn't bother me because 1) I loved that design and am glad we're getting it again 2) I'm fine with them saving money in order to give us new settings/backgrounds (hockey rink, new Kraang lab). Really liked his lightsaber-esque weapon too.

- Nice follow-up episode for Casey Jones. Love that we got to see him in action on the ice and against the Foot. Can't wait to see him finally meet the Turtles.

- Liked the Foot-bots having the additional arms/weapons this time. I still wish their look differed from the human Foot.

- Nice to see Karai fighting Donatello. She doesn't always need to just fight Leo.

- I really wish this version of April didn't annoy me so much. She stopped her training with Splinter but was still able to take out some of the Foot. I do like her interactions with Casey though and I'm glad they're done with the April being mad at the Turtles story.

- Just 7 days until we see SLASH. Can't freaking wait. I wish I had seen the preview that NinjaMan did.

**Jester** · 11-23-2013, 08:06 PM

Not to torn up about re-used of Rad Brad...now that I've seen it. I mean Chrome Dome isn't THAT big of a character from the past...and that Bradford design was cool.

There already was one, well a Lego figure anyway.

I can see fans using that mini-fig with their Playmates figures....

thanx!! I gotta know what they were saying! (probably a joke if it's Mikey)

also anyone worried about Karai?? cause she kinda disobeyed her evil daddy....twice.

Whoa, wtf. I was was always wondering who that lil guy way. I never even thought about it being Bradford. And that 'without mask' pic confirms it. Whoa.

*CyberCubed* · 11-23-2013, 08:24 PM

Chrome Dome was a pivotal character in the franchise.

He got 3 episodes in the original toon, (if you count Turtleoids as 2-parter), a toy, and he was a playable character in Tournament Fighters for SNES.

That's more than most characters outside of the essentials.

*Electric* · 11-23-2013, 08:25 PM

that episode was epic.

each fight was great. mikey had some awesome moments, especially at the end. the casey fight was good, and liked how he handled them fine. april vs. karai was the best. april with the tessen was pretty sweet. like their whole rivalry going on. may be my favorite episode yet

As far as the episode goes: LOVE THE ACTION! I love action-packed episodes like this. Everyone goin' at it all across the city. I'm actually watching it again as I'm typing this to catch everything. Great to see April back. I'm excited to see Shredder come back to see what a mess things are...obviously Kraang have an agenda still.

Love how Mikey used the Kusarigama to shoot the other Kraang.......I thought that was really cool.

OH YEAH AND DONATELLO WHOOPED KARAI'S ASS! I loved how aggressive he was when trying to protect April. Never seen that side of him.

Here here!!!
The awesomeness of the toys and the show just keep powering on with great fun possibilities. 6 down only 20 to go. Chrome Dome should be a cool toy. The weapons better be awesome.

Isn't that kinda WHY he warrants his own unique design and not a re-used model?
