And what IS Hun up to? Gets his ass kicked and his immediate thought is go after the Jones family?

Vengeance before all else, in Shredder's mind.

But man, Stockman has balls of titanium standing up to Shredder like that! It would seem he's learned a few things since vomiting on General Krang's boots...

I just wish he would have taken down those two flybots before agreeing to work with Baxter. If for no other reason than to show Stockman he's not one to be intimidated.

Seemed a little out of character for him to just cave like that.

Well he is kinda messed up right now.

Shredder was waking up from being "near death", Stockman clearly had the upper hand.

Now that Donny's soul has been preserved, how do we restore his body?

I'm thinking it's time to find some healing ooze...

[CyberCubed]

Weird I thought the Purple Dragons were Angel's friends in this series?

Yeah but Hun convinced them it was better to do criminal things.

[plastroncafe]

\o/!
I CALLED IT!

I'm so proud of myself.

Key word: WERE
They're under Hun's control now.

Curious to see if that's one of the things Fugitoid went back to Burnow for.

I'm hoping so. Just syphon some off from one of those Ootie tanks.

So is Don trapped in Metalhead's body supposed to be a nod to the Image series? Given how blatant IDW is with taking storylines/characters from other series and using them, (original cartoon, 4kids, Mirage and Archie) I wouldn't be surprised.

[Klunk1234]

My question is: if Donnie's soul is inside Metalhead, how is body would be heal properly if his siblings moved him knowing that Donnie has a spinal injury? Why Harold and Honeycutt (aka Chet and the Fugitoid) moved him instead since they were in charge of Donnie's health? I hope when his soul returns to his body, he is able to walk and not be paralyzed.

[plastroncafe]

To be honest, I think the spinal injury might be the least of Donnie's problems, health wise. Plus...we've seen the mutagen heal April's father post-stroke, so chances are good Donnie can be healed the same way...with time.

Seems like more of a homage to classic science fiction. I'd rather focus more on how this has been foreshadowed with Don's interaction with Fugitoid and his skepticism about the soul.

Very awesome issue. I assume Karai is going to off the dragons.

A turtle's spine is fused to it's shell, it doesn't flex or bend. Unless he took a direct hit on his spine it would have been fine to move him.

A year ago Tom made me nervous when he said one piece in the near future would be inspired by Image Comics and I bet the house this is what he was alluding to.

I guess Hun thinks Shredder is dead like Koya and Bludgeon do which is why he left. We do not know yet why Hun leaves the Mutanimals as soon as he groups them completely together. I assume the events of Mutanimals#4 will tell us that answer. Hob and Hun seem to be an odd pair.

I think it's AWESOME how much they've foreshadowing this tragic turn of events without us ever realizing it... Donny's conversations with Fugitoid, Future Don and our Don thus making decisions based on that...

The Hob/Hun thing does baffle me; I'd be worried if this wasn't Tom Waltz and Bobby Curnow.

IN IDW WE TRUST.

Donatello's shell is cracked, he's contacted through the astral plane while he's injured, then ends up in a robot body.

There's no way that ISN'T an homage to the Image run.
