Do you think Bebop and Rocksteady will be human before mutation?

Rocksteady is brash, loud, violent and impulsive and Bebop is a gruff New Yorker. Chiklis demonstrated he's great at doing a good New York accent and working under cgi/makeup given that he played The Thing in the Fantastic Four movies and Terry Crews can bring the comedy as well as be fairly intimidating. I don't see an issue with my choices. Probably better than whoever Bay is going to hire. Probably Tyreese Gibson and John Tuturro knowing him.

Unless they do indeed make some dumb "fast acting" mutagen that somehow makes them full size and brained. As full brained as those two can be, anyway. Which since that's a dumb idea, I won't be shocked if that's the case.

To be honest, the original movies had the turtles growing up too and yet Tokka and Rahzar were instantaneous. Expecting a movie to give some kind of explanation if they were to instantly transform is probably asking too much. I think the turtles were babies as well, so just get a warthog and rhino that are older, I.E. the animal equivalent of their 30's and mutate them. I think due to the short lifespan of rodents that Splinter was older, even though realistically he's probably about a year or two old, given that most rats don't live that long at all, 4 years at the very most.
