If the Turtles said something like, "The Kraang returned" or "The Kraang won" or "We were busy fighting the Kraang when this happened...etc"

But they didn't. There's no indication the Kraang were there.

People have pointed out that there's a Kraang symbol on the M-Bomb

The other turtles were in the same reality though, however, yes I'll go with the above, there ended up being another one

Which doesn't mean the Kraang themselves launched it. It could have been programmed by their computers to launch at a certain date, or as said, any random terrorist or person with knowledge of these bombs could have launched it.

Unless Ciro confirms something, I'm just going to assume it was a failsafe bomb the Kraang planted deep underground all throughout the Earth as a last resort in case they were defeated. Basically a doomsday scenario that worked.

My personal headcanon is that it was Sub-Prime. After he was flung into the Mirage universe, we never saw him again after that.

[Chris]

That was his last appearance in the show, but since the space arc was back in time, doesn't that make his chronological final appearance the season 3 finale where he died with Kraang Orime when the Technodrome was destroyed?

Or is the thinking that he never escaped the Prime universe so in the new timeline he wasn't on the Technodrome when it got destroyed? Can't remember what they showed in Earth's Last Stand now but I think we just saw the Technodrome blow, not Kraang Prime & Subprime inside.

The latter, precisely.

I'd like to think that maybe it could have been the alternate Turtles and not the original ones who dealt with this, but I don't think it is.

Yeah, you're reaching and making things over complicated. There's a Kraang symbol on it, its a weapon that does exactly what the Kraang's plan was. Odds are its the Kraang. But make up whatever you want if it makes you feel better.

Cyber is being Cyber but on this, i dont think its that much of a stretch. Still a stretch but not that much cause the kraang spent millenia trying 2 modify the mutagen, i dont think they wouldve given up so easily w/out a no other option scenerio - mutagen bomb from nowhere. As far as who triggered it, honestly who knows.... Heck, it could be like how the purple dragons released that person that bishop experimented on in dragons brew, random party/individuals deciding to tamper w/ unknown tech.

Looks like the Monster Arc is only on NickToons.

It will start on Wednesday at 8pm only on Nicktoons.

It makes me wonder why Nickelodeon moved the Monster Arc to NickToons instead of its regular channel, I think its cause the Monster Arc might be too intense and scary for the younger viewers, who watch on regular Nickelodeon.

It's because the Kraang are gone.

Kraangs subprime was also trapped in the Turtle Prime universe, and knowing how violent those Turtles are portrayed every time we see them, he obviously would not last long there before they killed him and turned him into chewing gum.

I don't know if I should be mortified or amused by that. lol

[ToTheNines]

So wasn't Dom Catrambone supposed to have a role this season? What ever happened with that?

[Glitter Wand]

Why did Nickelodeon premiere the mutant apocalypse arc now instead of at the end of the season?

[ToTheNines]

Because they suck and don't care about this show anymore. Could be worse, though.

Obviously, at some point, they come back. Its not like they haven't thought they defeated the Kraang before only for them to show up again. When you have an enemy that comes from outside time and space, its a good chance they'll be hard to beat.

But Kraang Prime controlled them all. If it's gone, there's no reason to think more Utroms got mind controlled by it.

Or they just want to promote some racing event.
