I never put it together, but you're right! It's as if Poison Ivy and Bloodsucker... never mind, not gonna finish that sentence.

Suffice it to say, plants... PLANTS EVERYWHERE.

So here's a question, why didn't Shredder make new mutant henchmen all the time? Clearly Bebop and Rocksteady were failures, so why not try again and again until he made some decent fighters?

What about the villains from Time Bokan? The Doronjo gang were pretty much the same characters with new names and outfits.

Some have suspected that The Creep is literally supposed to be a substitute for Bloodsucker, because Rick Veitch still owns the rights to the character & The River arc of the comics, in which he appeared. Ciro's a big fan of the original comics, so maybe he wanted to use him but was forced to create a replacement.

That sounds quite plausible... would make me accept the "you turned my brother into a plant" idea a little easier, too.

These two are part of the reason why the original series was so iconic. They were like the American and mutated versions of Horace and Jasper from 101 Dalmatians. Cam Clarke and Barry Gordon's voice acting from them was sheer perfection. I really can't think of two better animated henchmen. Cowabunga Shredhead was their finest episode. They accomplished something and later celebrated their victory very humorously and brilliantly.

I cannot wait to see them in the 2016 film.

I saw this on my Yahoo! News feed and thought I would post it. It covers Bebop and Rocksteady being dusted off the shelf with the Viacom buyout and coming back in a big way in various iterations.

Just got my hands on that comic and It was awesome. They are such powerhouses its not even funny. Bullets and electrical shocks are a minor inconvenience to them.

That was a GREAT article. Wish I'd written it!

*CyberCubed* · 03-15-2015, 11:22 AM

LOL, did you guys read the comment section in that article? People talking about how the Nick show sucks or how, "Ugh, I prefer the originals" or how Bebop is too skinny or how "this isn't the TMNT I grew up with."

LOL, such idiots in the comment section.

Only read/post comments (or join forums) if you are prepared to deal with such idiots. They are inevitable.

Someone should update the old saying "Two things in life are constant: death and taxes." 'Cause it's totally three.

Why don't you take a crack at it!? You can write up an article of your own design and post it here. Yes, seriously. I was just surprised to see Bebop and Rocksteady headlined on Yahoo!.

Actually, I'm planning on trying to do a critical evaluation of the 1990 TMNT movie against the 2014 TMNT movie. Finished coming up with a rough points/grading system earlier today, so hopefully I'll be able to use it sometime next week...

I did try to get a gig over at WhatCulture.com, but I never heard back from them. Oh well, more time to focus on my own original fiction.

Now, back to the Bebop & Rocksteady discussion thread!

How do you think they'll be defeated (or escaped from) in upcoming Issue #44?

We do not know where the new team of Nobody (Angel) and Alopex are at the moment, do we? I can see them using Nobody's suit technology to chase them off like before.

A critical analysis for fun? I thought my paper writing favoritism was unique.

And Nobody does work for Harold, and as Harold can see s*** is about to go down, he's totally gonna call in the cavalry. Probably Alopex holds off Bop and Rock while Alopex spirits a comatose Donnie away from the battle...

I don't normally, but I'm curious to see how they hold up to each other based on criteria I assign and evaluate. Thinking it'll be fun! (If controversial, as I have a less hostile view towards 2014's movie than some of us here...)

I hate those kind of comments & the ruined my childhood comments are the worst

I have wrong a lot more than right in guessing's developments but this one I think is a safe bet.

I have my own bones to pick about it as far as actor choices and poor utilization of secondary characters though it could have been worse. I do like it better than the 2007 CGI film. Hope one day something will equal the 1990
and 1991 films.

Post your final draft here in its own topic thread if you would.

Comicbook.com listed Bebop and Rocksteady in their The Top 5 Comic Book, TV, and Movie Minions.

I would have prefered it if those two didn't came back in the Nick version of TMNT. Better good memories of these two dunderheads from the old cartoon as the abominations they are now. An anorexic warthog with a voice which makes your ears bleed and a russian rhinoceros with a favour of crushing heads like blueberries(well i have to say Rocksteady had the better end of this deal though characterwise and also his voice is o-kay for his role)

Bottom Line is, i can totally understand people who have a nostalgic feeling for them and do still like them because i feel the same way. And i am not afraid to say that.

I also hope that in the 2016 Movie of TMNT their personalities are pretty similar with the old cartoon versions because these are the funniest and the best in my personal opinion
