Reimagine Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as drastically as you can.

Ever wonder what would happen if Splinter hadn't raised the boys as noble warriors? What if Shredder wasn't the evil villain we've grown to know, but a lone crusader against his cruel and vicious former mentor? The man once named Hamato Yoshi has raised four mutants as his own assassins, and only one man can defend the city against them- Oroku Saki.

I've twisted the TMNT lore around, into a bit of a "reverse world" kind of universe where the good guys aren't who one would expect. The boys in THIS world are not very nice. I'm enjoying working with a much darker version of them, especially Leo and Mikey- two completely opposite personalities, but both very damaged. Splinter's one very BAD father in this one..... It's a bit different for me, doing something so dark and yes, tragic in a twisted sort of way.

To be fair, April's acceptance isn't entirely her own idea, and I will be getting into some of the reasons behind it in more depth soon. The boys aren't the only ones in her life who are bad people, either. For anyone familiar with the original /mirage comics, Casey wasn't especially nice or a good influence all the time (he was something of a drunk womanizing bum) so it isn't much of a stretch to make him even worse.

I really took a look at all the characters and tried to figure out ways to switch their roles without changing their personalities TOO much- like for instance, Mikey is still "playful", but his idea of fun is rather twisted. Donnie is still the "geeky one", but in a very creepy stalker-ish way. Krang will still be his usual caustic self, and Baxter will still be the cowardly sycophant to Shredder, and still a bit mentally unbalanced as well- he'll just be working for a good cause this time around. As for Splinter, I have to say he's turning into a real monster in this, which is probably very counter to what most people who are familiar with him will remember. That was sort of the point, though, since this IS an "evil" version of them all.

That was AWESOME! Will you be finishing the tale soon?

I had an idea about having the TMNT meet different versions of themselves a-la The One with Jet Li. Like in one they would be evil with Shredder trying to stop them, another one they are regular teenagers, one where they are beloved superheroes and another where they are females.
It was something I never really got around to but your fanfic sounds pretty good.

This is outstanding and also heartbreaking (especially the big revelation in Chapter IV). I really hope you intend to carry the story forward because it's really something else.

Thanks, guys. Really glad (and surprised) to see folks like that one so much. I'm really kind of proud of it, as it was a plot bunny that hit me from a conversation with my other half, that also resulted in a separate story where the turtles are discovered by the NYPD- AFTER they are killed in their own home. It's sort of a tragic take on the aftermath of their final fight, and how it changes people.

As for the "evil turtles" tale, yes, it's still going, and will be updated regularly, if not always frequently. (I DO have several other projects going, too, so....)

That movie's cheese on a board.

The mutation causes the turtles to increase in intelligence, and walk on two legs, but they never increase in size...

[Wildcat]

I had posted my somewhat reimagining in another topic about a nice Krang crashing on earth who raises the turtles but it wasn't that drastic imo. Let's see...

2 best friends (Leo and Mike) studying martial arts on their way home from class spot a homeless man being kidnapped and forced into a car. They stop to help him but the captors overpower them and take them along with the homeless man. They awake in a hidden facility where illegal testing is done on humans and animals. After breaking free they manage to escape and hideout in the sewer. Then they slowly start physically changing into turtles.

No Donnie or Raph. The op clearly states as long as it's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Plural. I picked Leo and Mike because they have the most common names. The facility could be run by Baxter Stockman. No Shredder, Krang or Splinter though. No mutagen or other worldly elements. It's just them vs evil scientist...and vigilante stuff around the city I guess.

The series ends in a war between Leonardo. Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo and their corresponding groups:

Leonardo leads the foot clan
Raphael leads the mutants
Donatello leads the Utroms/Krangs
Michelangelo leads the Superheroes/Bishop's group

the winner of the battle royale will be given a gift by God (Turtle Saint) to mold the world into their own image.

That's a pretty neat idea!

Okay Miwa (still Yoshi's daughter and stolen by Saki) and Karai are seperate characters. Miwa is treated by Saki as his precious princess, she has the Foot elite acting as her personal body guard (which in this version they do stand toe-to-toe with the turtles).

She knows the truth about her being Yoshi's daughter, but as she told Splinter "Why would i live in a sewer with a rat when I can live in a life of luxury." in her mind, Shredder taking her was the best thing to happen to her.

then stuff happens

Shredder is taken out of power for good (because of the final Battle between the Gods [Turtle Saint vs The Black Dragon]) and the foot clan abandons Miwa. Miwa ends up going Azula level of crazy and gets herself mutated into Mutagen Man.

Mutagen Miwa Man fights against the turtles in the sewers and the turtles ends up flushing her (without knowing it is Miwa) out of the sewers and into the waters outside, where she dissipates into the ocean

Some neat and interesting ideas!

Was working on something last night, kinda longish, more of just a 'how they got there,' but tied the end of the write up into sorta close to the lives the existing TMNT find themselves in so by that point probably not drastically changed enough to actually post so just saved it.

The mental image... Little ninja ankle biters. Bad guys standing there going "wtf?" I guess that makes the larger figures around "actual size"... just looked at my 11" movie figure and burst out laughing. Although that sword is still the length of a steak knife so that could still hurt.

What if the next old cartoon they parody in the show is Sailor Moon??? @.@

A new generation of advance battle tanks have been created with anti-mech capabilities specifically in mind. They are faster, more agile, and better protected than any previous generation of armoured vehicle, and learning from humanities mistakes, they are not autonomous.

Our future depends on the edge these tanks will have over fully automated combat units. An edge provided by the instincts of specially bread, and rigorously trained operators, who will command the vehicles through direct neurological control.

Humanity is rapidly loosing the war, and in a last ditch effort to turn the tide, the tanks, code name Turtles, are deployed before the genetically engineered teenage operators have reached full maturity. They will have to rely on their superior instincts, and reflexes gained from their incomplete ninja training.

Did you happen to know: the WWII Navajo Code-Talkers' word for "tank" was "tortoise."

Quiet you. Don't give certain people out there any more ideas of that.

Spoiler:

Edit: Of course... Seeing how film makers are probably less likely to want to use suggestions or other material from fans, probably to avoid anyone coming forward to yell about their idea being stolen, maybe in reality we should actually be coming up with every god awful terrible idea we can think of just to make them not want to use it.

Yeah, like making them go into the sewer, but it's also a PORTAL to present-day LA!
Nick Jonas will be Shredder!
