And here's the first 2012 series character appearing in the IDW series.

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I only found out about this today.

I think it's cool that the 2012 series gets more shout-outs in other series of the TMNT franchise.

Perhaps there's a Tiger Claw coming?

Well, we've known about this for weeks, so it's not exactly news. And it's not actually true though, Pigeon Pete is the first one used in the IDW continuity (fuck you to anyone trying to say he's a FW character, he's not a FW character just because the name is an easter egg reference, just fuck you if you try to insist on that). But this is a relatively rare occurrence and I'm glad it's one of the better ones as opposed to the intentionally stupid crap like Ice Cream Kitty or Dr. Cluckingsworth.

Ew, no, gross! At most he deserves to be treated like a joke for the foolish attempt to actively create a breakout character that he is. Tiger Claw just stinks of being something his creator really, really, really, really, really wanted people to react well to and the result is a lame garbage character that really doesn't deserve to used in future installments. At most he deserves to just show up, declare how "cool" he is and instantly get killed off in an unambiguous way. Kinda like how IDW treated Vernon.
