Do you feel most of the villains in the OT were wrapped up?

[CyberCubed]

From what I can remember:

- Shredder/Krang, sent back to Dimension X during the 3 parter in Season 10. Most likely stranded somewhere.

- Lord Dregg, blown up with Krang's Android body off-screen in a portal

- Bebop/Rocksteady, lost in Dimension X in the finale of Season 8

- General Traag, Dimension X?

- Baxter Stockman, still trapped in the space between Dimensions during his last appearance in Season 7.

- Rat King. Tied up and most likely arrested in, "Wrath of the Rat King," in Season 8.

- Leatherhead, on the loose, never seen again after "Night of the Rogues."

- Slash, on the loose, never seen again after "Night of the Rogues"

- Groundchuck/Dirtbag, most likely arrested on Shell-ri-La in their last appearance in Season 7.

- Tempestra, never captured.

- Rahzar/Tokka, technically not true villains in the OT. They only seemed to want to look for food. Let go at the end of, "Dirk Savage, Mutant hunter."

- Hi-tech, drifting in space.

- Mung, just left in Dimension X, most likely quit working for Dregg.



Overall with the exception of Leatherhead, Tempestra and Slash, I think the OT wrapped up most of the villains pretty decently. Its not like they would literally be killed off, as Raph said, "That is not the way we get rid of villains on our show."

Vernon wasn't.

I don't know about Dregg. I don't think he was destroyed when Krang's body exploded. He could have also easily been destroyed when he got sucked into the black hole in "The Day The Earth Disappeared" and he obviously wasn't. And he didn't even have the extra armor to protect him like he did in Divide and Conquer.

Titanis from season 8 ended up in the prehistoric. But they never showed his mutants again or whether or not they turned back into humans. At the end of the last HAVOC episode, April said their mutants are still running loose, after that, we never see them or hear about them again.

It would have been nice to see Baxter turn back into a human instead of being stuck in limbo.

Well, technically speaking, you should also add Scumbug, Antrax and Chrome Dome (v. 2.0) to that group "that got away".

And also, what about all the various assorted gangsters and mad scientists? Do they count, too?

One thing the OT was certainly not credited for was giving closure to characters. Oh well. Toy schilling doesn't require it, right?

Personally, I hate the fact that Baxter's character was never fully dealt with. I hated the fact that he was stuck in between dimensions and that he was always going to remain a fly. He was just royally screwed, imo. I always hoped that he'd get his revenge on Shredder and Krang. Sucks that the longer he remained a fly, the dumber he was becoming.

Dint they crush chrome dome in one episode in season 7 I think. Did he come back after that?

Yes, hence her referring to him as version 2.0. Night Of The Rogues.

Nite of the rogues is the episode that chrome dome gets crushed in. What episode(s) does he appear in after that?

[pannoni1]

Bebop and Rocksteady's gang from Once Upon a Time Machine are simply normal people, so I find that their lives actually turned out better than everyone else.

Most of the random scientists either disappeared or gave up. But Dregg, Foot Soldiers and mousers on the other hand were the only enemies to truly be destroyed.

Roadkill Rodney, on the other hand, survived and is probably somewhere in Dimension X or the Technodrome.

But leaving villains wrapped up allows for the opportunity to make a return in future episodes; thus the multiple episodes with Slash, Rat King, the Shredder/Krang reappearance in Season 10, Baxter returning after you think he's wrapped up forever.

Chrome Dome was crushed in his last appearance, what are you talking about? I agree with Scumbug/Antrax though.

The mad scientists were all always arrested at the end of their episodes. Most of the mobsters stopped appearing once Season 6 ended, and were arrested if I remember correctly in their last appearances.

My bad, I got confused. Totally forgot that was how he met his demise in that episode.

I don't think David Wise ever had any intention of Baxter becoming human again.

He was supposed to be a tragic villain. Baxter lost his mind more and more as he kept appearing, and being stuck in Dimensional limbo was a fitting end for his character.

As for Leatherhead, I assume he just returned to the swamp after his last appearance. Hope the Punk frogs are ready for him this time. :p

[Cryomancer]

It's interesting how Baxter pretty much ALWAYS ends up being one of the most perpetually boned characters in the franchise, no matter what universe you're talking about.

The yet to be released on DVD, Planet of the Turtleoids.

EDIT: Also, I don't think many of the characters period got a proper send off. I mean, did Carter ever fix his unstable mutation?

Except that wasn't "after".

Yes. Then regretted it, and hulked it back.

He went to the future to have it fixed. We didn't need to see him again.

I dunno, I think it seems all the villains seemed to be wrapped up. I just wonder about Krang and Shredder, if they were stuck in Dimension X, why didnt they use the Technodrome to escape again?

Oh, my fault!

I didn't realize he had been permanently destroyed by that hydraulic press. I thought it had just, like, incapacitated him or something. Especially since he had been repaired in the past.

BTW, if I were April, I would have tried contacting Bugman, REX-1, Mondo Gecko, Muckman and maybe Mario the pizza delivery guy before I got around to calling Zach. In fact, I might have even called Howie Hardy first.
