Technorovers

the_minimizer · 11-11-2002, 02:06 AM

Anyone remember the technorovers? They were small ground vehicles armed with eyeball missiles.

*Deathknight* · 11-11-2002, 05:35 AM

Yes I remember them... first used in Hot Rodding Teenagers From dimension X and then not seen again until The Missing Map... although they had changed the structure of the technodrovers a lot since then... I can't really describe the difference though.

Lord Vega · 11-14-2002, 12:34 PM

Hum.... Wasn't it called Technohovers?
The main change is that the drivers became more exposed to outside attacks, they stay at open air while driving it. That's the main difference from the Technohover showed in ep 4 "Hot Rodding Teenagers From Dimension X".
And... the main reason I call it Technohover is that it can fly.
The Technohover can be seen in 7 episodes:
"Hot Rodding Teenagers From Dimension X"
"The Shredder Is Splintered"
"The Missing Map"
"The Big Break In"
"Poor Little Rich Turtle"
"Attack Of The Neutrinos" (that's the episode where the Technohover flies)
"Shredder's Triumphant!"

I think that's all.

Nope, i'm almost sure it was called the technorover...
OMG WTF I FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE, it's one of my fave vehicles

How where those motorcycles with sidecar the foot used called?

i think i saw em in 'a thing about rats'.

Oh! I remember the motorcycles you're talking about, Nicko! Sadly, I don't remember the name...

*Nickokapo* · 11-16-2002, 01:46 PM

The technorover was suppossed to be produced (maybe there´s a prototype) as part of the Technodrome at least. Look at this photo of the Tmnt 1988 catalog of the original Technodrome Toy that came with a detachable "Technorover".

Wow, reading that page I'm glad the dome wasn't blow-up. Many a Technodrome would be domeless now haha!

Lord Vega · 12-13-2009, 11:03 PM

22"? WOW! Huge!
That would be really cool.

BTW how big is the original Technodrome toy?
Never really understood why the prototypes are ALWAYS coller than the final product...
To tell you the truth, I was... disappointed when I saw the Technodrome toy.
It's pretty different from the cartoon counterpart (as most of the OT TMNT toys).
Things I would add (besides being IDENTIAL to the cartoon. c'mon, it's the Technodrome for god sake):
- Electric engine with removable batteries, controlled by remote (even with wire);
- Rotating drills while moving;
- With the exception of the ones at each side of the "Eyeclops", the trident cannons would be slideable (running up and down), and able to twist/spin;
- Still would keep it the openings, but the inside would be much more faithful to the cartoon.

My technodrome is in my closet, but I'm too lazy to bother moving the stuff to get to the container, but anyway I remember the cannons sliding along a track. I liked them more than the damn eyeball that never stayed on >_>

Why the turbo necro post? & how do people even find these threads?

The Foot Ski Cycle? I could have sworn that's what Shredder called it, but I don't remember any skis on it.

Newbies have a tendency to do that on forums...

Yeah I've noticed but how do they find em?

**Krang** · 12-17-2009, 01:38 AM

Probably by searching. Personally, I don't mind it when people bump old threads as long as the threads are still relevant.

Bill · 11-04-2012, 06:01 PM

There´s a custom of the Technorover here

Please check out this page for more photos:

The Footcruiser seemed to use the same eyeball missiles.

I think that the cockpit looks small compared to the size of the vehicle on the custom provided.

I think we shall allow thead bumping, to avoid the same threads being created over and over and over again.
