Any Shredder theories?

T-U-R-T-L-E POWA! · 02-24-2014, 07:23 AM

I've been wondering what Shredder might be doing in Japan. Any theories? I can't remember if the show ever said exactly what he was doing but I figure it has something to do with weapons since in the Enemy of My Enemy ep he was trying to get his hands on some high grade weaponry. What do you guys say?

He is looking for new allies like Tiger Claw.

I was just thinking about this two nights ago. Perhaps checking in on his Japan branch of the Foot?

Probably an excuse to have him gone for episodes and develop other stories.

I like how Shredder can be gone for episodes, and then just strike deadly when returning rather than getting his butt kicked by the turtles in almost every episode as in the 1987 cartoon.

This isn't the correct forum to role-play. I suggest you go in the right section.

My theory? He got killed off screen, will be seeing his funeral soon

You are wasting your time.

He's found a warthog, a rhinoceros, and a tiger. He also has got a thousand human ninjas.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Bebop and Rocksteady but I totally don't expect that to happen and I can see both sides of the argument against it.

Bebop and Rocksteady are already confirmed. They are coming!

When did that happen?

*Powder* · 02-26-2014, 08:29 PM

A year or more ago.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 02-26-2014, 09:11 PM

I can't wait to see that. Hope Nick does them justice!

I thought it had all been speculation at this point. Isn't there even a thread about how people would feel if Bebop and Rocksteady were in this show?

How can you do characters like that "justice"? They never had any kind of personality besides being stupid.

Lou 500 · 02-27-2014, 02:00 PM

I second Donatello, I never really got the hullabaloo about B&R. They were lame.

*BubblyShell22* · 02-27-2014, 02:52 PM

Shredder's in Japan looking for allies to build up his army. He's probably looking for more soldiers and we know he's bringing back Tiger Claw. That's pretty much all he's doing right now.

They were entertaining. That's more than you can say for 80% of the other mutant enemies in the series who are either mindless monsters or bland and generic.

This.

Seems it's become 'cool' to knock Rocksteady and Bebop in this day and age as an example of everything wrong with the original cartoon.

Yeah, they're bumbling idiots that tended to screw up things more than help, but they had charm to them.

IDW managed to keep their bumbling personalities and yet make them a more viable threat. With how the Nick cartoon has made characters like Rat King and Mutagen Man feel more threatening than they were in the old cartoon, I have high hopes R&B will both be pretty good threats to the turtles as well.

I'm wondering though if they will be Shredder's henchmen or not or will they become so.
