I like all versions of Leatherhead and always like when we see more of him.

I'm down with this team. Especially with Usagi.

An OT Mutanimals team definitely would have to have Usagi and some (or all) of the Punk Frogs. Even though a lot of people didn't care for Usagi, I thought he was awesome.

Also, even though he didn't interact with the turtles and only appeared in 1 episode, I think Ace Duck would be a cool member for the team. He's the kind of character who would've fit right in with the show Tailspin.

Where the hell are you getting this? He's a fan-favorite.

Ace Duck was portrayed in Archie as having too big of an ego to be part of any team.

Well then clearly I was mistaken. I was going based off of memory, and had thought he was one of the less popular mutant characters, even though he did have his own comic. Forget it, no need to get all bent out of shape...

*Powder* · 01-31-2016, 09:39 PM

I'm not bent out of shape, I used the word hell in my phrasing, which is something adults sometimes do.

The fact that you're calling Usagi a, "mutant" and saying he's a less popular character shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

Usagi comics have been running for 30 years, they started in 1984 at the same time Mirage did. Usagi's fanbase is huge and completely different than TMNT's fandom.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 01-31-2016, 10:45 PM

I cannot believe how many people are throwing out the most ignorant choices ever.

Mutanimals... TEAM OF MUTANTS.

No Braunze, no Usagi, no Triceraton.

I feel like if the question was "Who should be the fifth Turtle?", some of you guys would be answering "Zog! Leatherhead! Mona Lisa!"

*ToTheNines* · 01-31-2016, 11:25 PM

Eh, plenty of the Archie Mutanimals were either aliens or mystically gifted animal men. About half of them actually.

Exactly. Dreadmon was a werewolf, Jagwar was Jaguar Jesus, Leatherhead was a cursed thief, Merdude was a merman, Wingnut, Screwloose and Slash were aliens. That only leaves Ray and Mondo as the actual mutants.

The Mutanimals weren't created to be thematically consistent, they were an afterthought. A failed attempt at creating a spin-off toyline, hence the stupid name.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 02-01-2016, 07:20 AM

Archie Mutanimals are still the best concept. Yes, bad name since all aren't mutant animals. But still great!

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 02-01-2016, 09:02 AM

And the two Mutanimals teams since then?

100% mutant Nick, 100% mutant IDW (save Lindsey, token human).

Speedy Cerviche · 02-01-2016, 11:20 AM

It makes me wonder. Are these different variations we have of the Mutanimals now going to end with the same fate as the originals? I hope not.

*MikeandRaph87* · 02-01-2016, 11:41 AM

Going back to the original question about a group of Mutanimals for the 1987 cartoon, obviously it would have been a separate continuity had the Mutanimals show aired so it would still be possible. However, could someone list all of the good mutants that appeared in the cartoon?

Kingoji · 02-01-2016, 11:49 AM

According to Ryan Brown's notes it would have been the same continuity, even transplanting (hur hur hur) Krang in as a major villain.

That is the first I heard of that. Having Leatherhead as a villain and reworking other existing characters make it seem a stretch. It lends itself to being a completely independent show from TMNT(1987). That is interesting.

Actually Merdude is a mutant too. In the Merdude/Man Ray mini they show a flashback where he mutates. Man Ray also says that Merdude was the first mutant to ever exist.

The point is the original Mutanimals team wasn't formed by only mutant characters in fact the majority weren't even mutants so there is nothing "ignorant" about choosing non-mutants in other shows, especially 2k3 which for the most part lacked mutants like other shows which on the contrary more mutants than we'd ever want like Nick.
