What is Dimension X?

I don't know much about Dimension X from Archie and IDW, but I do believe that The Dimension X from Fred Wolf and Nick is meant to be the same place, due to some retcons by the Nick writers (such as Krang and Kraang Subprime being cousins, Krang having Nickelodeon Rock Soldiers) etc.

Pretty sure it's only because "Dimension X" sounds cooler and that's about it.

In my head canon in the TMNT multiverse there is only one Dimension X. And that dimension is the Archie universe. Also within that is a galaxy that is where the traditional Krang comes from, also considered Dimension X... but it's just a galaxy.

It doesn't entirely hold up to scrutiny, though, with more new shows and such doing their own Dimension Xes. Because what's a TMNT show without mutagen man, Krang, Dimension X, etc.. Ugh.

Don't forget that the 4Kids show pretty distinctly had multiple dimensions, and seemed to imply that Earth existed in several of them (TMNT and Usagi, specifically, and then there was Turtles Forever....) and that Dimension X was its own dimension as well. The Utroms even specifically needed the trans-mat machine to get back, rather than, I dunno, just repairing their ship?

Ogg was indeed from a seperate dimension, in fact Krang even made mention of it, and said it was weird- which is saying something coming from him! Also, Dimension X DID seem to have some different rules of physics, like "space" having breathable air (as shown in the episodes where the Tchnodrome is in Dimension X, especially on the volcanic asteroid, since we're discussing it), or various star systems, races, and such all existing there in what appears to be their own universe.

Archie seems to be the biggest outlier as far as the galaxy/dimension debate goes. Most others seem to lean toward seperate dimension.
