Bebop and Rocksteady

*ToTheNines* · 07-02-2007, 08:01 PM

I know they usually screw up together, but I'd have to say Bebop was the most useless dude. Next time I got through all of the OT episodes (first 3 seasons at least) I think i'll keep a tally for individual dumb things they did. Bebop was normally the harder boss in the games, except the first one, though that could be argued due to the Rocksteady cheat lol.

*Scandia* · 07-02-2007, 08:42 PM

I am leaning towards Rocksteady being the Whiteface and Bebop being the Auguste.

In layman's terms, this would make Rocksteady be Butt-head and Bebop be Beavis.

And in Turtle terms, Rocksteady would be Raphael and Bebop would be Michelangelo.

So Bebop would be dumber indeed.

*Rooish* · 07-02-2007, 08:56 PM

I chose Bebop, but only because I liked Rocksteady more (in species, name, appearance). Haha, either way, I miss those guys.

*CyberCubed* · 07-02-2007, 09:05 PM

I've always liked Rocksteady a bit more than Bebop, I don't know why. I guess it seemed that Rocksteady had a bit more character than Bebop in most episodes.

And yeah, I miss those two lovable idiots as well. At least the Season 5 DVD is almost out so we can watch them screw up again.

*Coola Yagami* · 07-02-2007, 09:24 PM

hmm Rocksteady always got more lines and Bebop was just there to agree or disagree. At times Rocksteady was the smarter one to explain things to Bebop, like when they were working at Channel 6 in 'Plan 6 from Outer Space' where Rocksteady stopped Bebop from blasting the guy. It felt kinda weird and refreshing to see Bebop working alone when Rocksteady was captured in 'Invasion of the Turtle Snatchers'.

I did like Bebop more. He had the cooler voice and wasn't as whiney as Rocksteady was, and while Rocksteady was more like the front man, he wouldn't be the same without Bebop.

*KROW* · 07-02-2007, 10:09 PM

Although I like him more, I voted Bebop as more useless. Like Coola said, Bebop always needed things explained to him. Also, I think the fact that prior to their mutation, Rocksteady was the leader of their little gang. Perhaps the one with the most brains earned that title.

*VaughnMichael* · 07-02-2007, 10:09 PM

I always looked at bebop more as rocksteadys side kick but I have to admit lookin back over the series I'd have to say that Bebop is the smarter of the two.
Edit: it's funny as usual everyone has a differnt opinion that I do hahah
Edit Agin: but it's funny how more people voted bebop...I voted for him only because of what I believe not who I like more I happen to like Rocksteady more.

I agree with you!!!! I always thought Bebop was smarter of the two...that's why I picked Rocksteady as the more useless one. Having to pick the more useful of the two was hard as they both pretty useless, but I was thinking back about Invasion of the Turtlesnatchers and while Shredder & Rocksteady were on the spaceship, Krang sent Bebop to find the power source alone & he was doing a pretty good job without Rocksteady.

yay! and exactly!

Bebop didn't have any good ideas and didn't do anything...rocksteady had all the bad ideas.

I voted Bebop

Nightwatcher · 07-03-2007, 01:11 AM

I voted Bebop....but it was truly hard to choose between the two.

*odupianist* · 07-03-2007, 08:29 AM

bebop cause i liked rocksteady more

*Sage Ninja* · 07-03-2007, 11:28 AM

Rocksteady did seem like he had more presence than Bebop in the five episode pilote. Rocksteady had the most lines too over-all. It seemed like Rocksteady was more of a go-getter than Bebop (as is shown in Plan Six episode).

But then Bebop seemed like he had more awareness of what was going on than Rocksteady at times. Like when when he warned Rocksteady about not eating the pizza with the love potion on it. Or when Bebop pointed out to Rocksteady, when they where kidnapping Princess Mallory, that there where other princesses other than Cinderella. Or when he was trying to make the adjustments to slave machine (the one that made every one think they where children and monkeys).

But really this topic is spliting hairs. Its like speculating which cartoon dad is more stupid.

Homer from the Simpsons

or

Peter Griffin from Family Guy

its a pretty close call...

*ToTheNines* · 07-03-2007, 11:42 AM

I think Rocksteady is the one who fed the Grybyx a burger and ruined that little scheme (which shredder had all wrapped up). But I also remember Rocksteady was very skillful while runnnig from the turtles in The Big Rip Off.

*Scandia* · 07-03-2007, 12:17 PM

Now if Abigail Finn were to capture Bebop and Rocksteady, would they drive her up the wall first, or would she drive those two even battier?

weredog · 07-03-2007, 05:23 PM

I think it's a toss up. They were both pretty dumb. I'd say they were all muscle and no brains but they weren't very good fighters either.They never really posed much of a threat. I don't think the Turtles ever really took them seriously, but then they didn't need to. I often wondered why Shredder and Krang even bothered with them.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 07-03-2007, 05:37 PM

During season 1 and 2, Bebop and Rocksteady had the best fights against the TMNT, and were deadly threats, even to Splinter. Bebop were near to hurt Splinter. They also used more machine guns in the begninning, not so much laser guns, which they begun with later.

*ToTheNines* · 07-03-2007, 05:54 PM

How were they a threat in season 2?

They were at least in to the TMNT's lair in "the Cat Woman from Channel 6".

*ToTheNines* · 07-03-2007, 06:05 PM

That was one altercation and the turtles tossed 'em in like 15 seconds, they were more worried about their busted TV than they were about the fact that Bebop and Rocksteady had actually located their home.
