That actually looks like the fish women creatures from 4kids/Mirage from, "Sons of the Silent Age."

But those had no tails.

Well its not like the Nick show hasn't drastically changed the designs of past characters. Maybe these fish women have tails.

I mean look at Nick's version of Rat King, when did any previous version look like a mummified skeleton?

The reptile woman is most likely a throw away reference to Mona Lisa, similar to the Ace Duck image previously. or the Venus reference. I don't see any of those characters ever actually appearing on the show. IF they ever do introduce any female mutants characters, it'll most likely be along the lines of Alopex.

Also, "Ahh, Alien Turtles!" Michael Bay reference, and the obvious "Go Ninja, go Ninja, go!" via Mikey.

One of my favorite bits though, was Leo geeking out, "Like Space Heroes." Other favorite part, virtually no April, thank goodness, I really hate her character in this show. She and Kirby need to go on a long vacation and not return for a long time. With the Kraang sub-plot on hiatus now, she's even more useless.

her eyeball position changes:
here she looks at you,

then looks away [my limited lexicon, anyway, oh :/]

Pretty cool stuff. Not quite as dramatic as I was expecting, but it's for sure not the end of the Kraang. I absolutely loved the fact that KSP mentioned that they've been failing at this for thousands of years lol.

Kinda mad he died though... would rather have seen Kraang Prime get killed and KSP take over.

I like that Slash is a hero now. It wasn't Shakespeare or anything, but his character arc has been cool. He was initially bad due to Raph, tragically enough. His negativity wore off on Spike so much that when he became fully sentient the only logical course of action he sought was to off the other 3.

What was up with his mouth though? Looked like he went on a Cheetos binge.

*Foombamaroom* · 03-08-2015, 01:57 PM

This definitely isn't the end of the Kraang, but I do hope it's a substantial break from them and that they're gone for the rest of the season.

We just finished 13, so we're halfway through the season. Our first one hour special was geared towards the Kraang and that's it, so I'm hoping that the one hour finale will be geared towards Shredder rather than having the Kraang return.

*CyberCubed* · 03-08-2015, 01:58 PM

Its rather interesting that Slash being part of the Mutanimals is because he sort of became an unofficial member of them at the end of the Archie run and he died along with them. I also felt like Merdude was going to become a Mutanimal if Murphy didn't kill them all.

Huzzah · 03-08-2015, 02:00 PM

I noticed that on Slash too, he seemed to be rocking some orange coloration around the mouth that wasn't previously there.

Despite it not being said, but because of its sheer awesomeness. Professor Ice Cream Kitty for the win! Amazing how one of the biggest joke characters in the series, has had more appearances than virtually any of the other mutants, and has become a fully fleshed out character in her own right. In one week there were not one, but two Ice Cream Kitty custom figures on the Figurerealm Customs website.
