At the absolute least, Bloodsucker & The Terror Bears. Maybe Ninjara, not sure on her.

Any made for the 1985 role playing game or human characters from the three live-action films from the 90s'. Outside of that Bloosucker because thevwriter of the arc in Mirage volume one refused the amout of payment for royalties or Mirage or Viacom giving him a paych3ck for the rights.That is not to say we could get Tatsu as a character, but call him Matsui. That is the only loss of the small lot IMHO.

So all 4 major Triceratons have now debuted in Nick:

- Zog (end of Season 3)
- Commander Mozar
- Leader Zangraman
- Zeno (Traximus)

I think its cool, seeing that instead of using an old character they made a new one. Lately they've just been reusing (Dregg, Bellybomb, weird Neutrinos) although I am glad they brought in Armaggon, one thing I find weird is when Zeno is fighting the turtles he literally almost kills them yet they take no damage, after what happened to splinter and the damage they took from Shredder in The Gauntlet, I think they can do better with realism.

TLP · 01-24-2016, 05:37 PM

Considering how God Mode Shredder is, I imagine he could take down the likes of Zeno.

Also why did they rename Zanramon, Zanmoran?

Anyone else have trouble not singing the power rangers zeo theme while watching the episode. I know the name was zeno but still.

No, but it did remind me of this.

Btw, who voiced Zandramon?

Definitely Michael Ironside.

That is what I thought. I heard DCAU Darkseid, but I could not find confirmation on IMDB or elsewhere.

"Adolescent Alien Warrior Terrapins"

Pretty good episode, been waiting for the arena battle since the season began. I would have preferred a 2 or 3 part episode though, have the Turtles go up against more adversaries.

Loved the hologram sequence, more of that please.

Yep, recognised him immediately.

My favourite Mikey moment:

*TurtleTitan97* · 01-24-2016, 07:27 PM

Another good episode. Would have liked to have seen more battles in the arena though.

See the 4kids incarnation for that.

Way ahead of you.

Splinter the boss · 01-24-2016, 07:55 PM

I just finished watching it. That was awesome, it had great fight scenes and introduced new characters such as Zeno and The Emperor. Zeno was funny to me, and the Emperor was being like an emperor. Sure, there were some things that weren't addressed like how the Emperor knew of the turtles, but it's okay. I just wish I saw Splinter teach the turtles that meditative breathing technique.

Mikey was disgusting in this episode, but was friendly toward Zeno which might have contributed to him not crushing the turtles.
The first fight of the turtles against the spasmosaur was too fast, I wish they suffered a little bit.

I totally liked April this episode. She is getting better with her powers thanks to the stone. She is not going to be saving the day like she did a couple of times.

Besides cited issues above , definitely the best episode of the season for now.

Zak The Neutrino · 01-24-2016, 10:50 PM

I got done watching this about an hour ago. I agree with most here that this was a pretty good episode. I've been one that has been very disappointed in this season so far but this episode has slightly renewed my faith.

Technogeek29 · 01-24-2016, 11:03 PM

While I enjoyed the is episode 3 minor complaints.
-Why did they name him Zeno when it couldn't be more obvious its Traxximus?
-Why did they change Zanramon's name?
-The fight against Spamosaur was both too easy and too short. Too much build up for something anti-climatic.

*shredder orokusaki* · 01-25-2016, 12:47 AM

It was great! It was a better adaption than the 2003 series in my opinion. Also liked the mortal kombat reference. They must be another MK reference where i wll fight the turtles and do a real fatality not that stupid kiddy ballonality.

Perhaps they didn't want to make it seem they were drawing too much from the 2003 toon. The plot was pretty much the same.

Best episode of this season so far for me personally. The episode flowed very well, and except for that anti-climactic fight against spasmosaur, the rest was very well done. The fight against Zeno was great, loved the hologram fight, the scene in the airlock was intense (although the breathing scene came slightly out of nowhere), and I liked how April and Casey played an important role as well.

The turtles dropping their weapons and appealing to Zeno's sense of honor was a very nice touch instead of just beating him.
