National Hockey League season opening games have been played inside.

As well as sending those accursed Turtles TO THEIR DOOM!!!

Because it made a really cool toy.

and has anyone turned Space Ship Earth from Epcot into the Drome?

I think it was a great thing for the season finals with the Technodrome running full of fuel.

It was a unique and powerful weapon that was turned into a joke. It's like having a ferrari that is amazingly fast and responsive but always needs a jump start. "Oh man I will so smoke you on the race track... soooo does anyone have any jumper cables?" If the technodrome was fully operational all the time New York would have been dismantled.

I loved the Big trilogy, it was much based on the Technodrome and it threatening New York City.

Besides being the home base for the bad guys, it was also sort of a looming,ever present threa-you know, watch out if they get fuel for it

The technodrome was fully functional for most of Season 1. If you watch Shredder and Splintered you'll see that this thing is PACKED with artillery and how powerful it is. Rocket launchers, canons and all kinds of mounted guns and rays. The technodrome is pretty much Krang and Shredder's Death Star. In latter episodes they made it dysfunctional because it was too powerful to be continuously featured as a prime weapon/vehicle for the villains. Come to think of it theres more similarities to Star Wars. Krang and Shredder are more or less like the Emperor and Vader. Shredder also has a facemask and helmet and is (was) voiced by African American

But the Technodrome needing energy was still a major theme in the show.

exactly. my only wish is that the equally cool Techndrome Mark II would've lasted longer

Well they needed a reason for it not to be operational. If it was, then it would be hard to explain why would they get defeated every time and it wouldnt really be a powerful weapon. Look at the episodes in which Technodrome attacks. It does massive chaos and damage.

[TheCanadiandrome]

ah all this technodrome talk! i love it

[Mutagen]

I mentioned the artillery but forgot to add - for those unfamiliar with the classic toon, Technodrome was also indestructible just like Technodrome II in Turtles Forever it had the same kind of force field

An expression of Krang's apparent golf fanaticism.

Technodrome III... Technodrome II was the mini version Shredder built in some OT ep involving Chromedome. I want to say it was "PLANET OF THE TURTLEOIDS", but I can't remember.

Yep, part 2 to be exact.

What was that moving fortress in "Turtles at the Earth's Core" called? It was also like the Technodrome.

I just rewatched the episode. That fortress had no name.
