If the OT lasted another season, or 2

[Zage]

Which characters would you wanna see in it, that had never appeared in the cartoon, yet?

my top ten would be {in no order}

Jagwar
Dreadmon
Ninjara
Kid Terra
Scale Tail
Tora
Shogun
Panda Khan
Maligna & the Malignoids
Fugitoid

there're others, but I'll leave it at 10, for now. What about you guys?
{Oh, & I'd also like to see an ACTUAL Ace Duck appearance, NOT just on the TV.}

[Metropoliskid41]

I agree, my top 3 would definitely have been Ninjara, Panda Khan, and Fugitoid for sure.

[oldmanwinters]

All those characters would have been awesome to see in the OT, but I just don't see any circumstances under which David Wise, Jeffrey Scott, or the other writers would have been inspired to work them into the series as strong, recurring characters. If Steve Murphy had been brought in to supervise the story process for another year, then we could have seen some really intriguing possibilities.

Did you know Murphy wrote a 4-volume TMNT children's book series? He actually attempts to recreate the TMNT-verse from scratch, starting with the turtles before they encountered Shredder and the Foot Clan. Too bad it never went anywhere beyond the first 4 volumes.

[CyberCubed]

I doubt any of the Archie characters would have appeared. Maybe Armaggon.

[Sage Ninja]

fugitoid. Also more on the Tricertons. Given the tone of the OT the Tricertons would have fit perfectly and it's a damn shame they weren't used more.

I agree! I woulda really dug more Triceraton interaction, and I think they could have made a pretty neat adaption of the Fugitoid story.

[Zage]

Do you think that they still would've made Venus? I'm just asking, 'cause technically she was created around the year that would've been the next season of the OT.

Armaggon, I had never read any Archie all I knew was that was the coolest thing I had ever seen when I saw the cover of Tournament Fighters and wanted to see that character. He would have fit rather nicely in post-S10 episodes, before that he would've just been wasted.

Fugitoid - I also think Fugitoid was perfect for the OT, it boggles my mind why he never made an appearance, instead we got so many generic robots. He probably would've fit better pre-red sky.

Super Shredder - pre-red sky it would've been an episode of Shredder getting super powers and running around like superman but post S10 it could've been a way to make Shredder more of a threat again

I would've loved to have seen Hot Head and Ace Duck, two of my favorite figures as a kid but I'm not sure if they'd fit very well post-S10 which is what the topic is asking.

No I didn't, any more info on this?

Gimmie a week or so and I might try to put together a little guide/synopsis of them.

[Zage]

How about Verminator X?

[Zage]

What about the Purple Dragons, or at least have them actually be named that, instead of just random punks that the turtles fought.

[CyberCubed]

Why do you think characters that never appeared would suddenly start appearing?

[Zage]

Well, you gotta throw in a new character, every now & then. They threw in Antrax & Scumbug into the cartoon, just outta the blue, no background at how they were know to the TMNT's, prior.

As for another character to appear, I say Wyrm, after all, they DID draw him, for the commercial, for the toy, so why not actually have him in an episode?

Were the books very good?

I think if the show had continued you'd have seen Dregg and more original characters not exclusive to the toys or comics come into it

[MikeandRaph87]

Years ago when I did fan-fiction continuing it I used Armagon, Ace Duck, and Scale Tail. General Yougure from "Shredder's Mom" would have made a good Ace Duck while Rudolph Cubrato's reverting to human form could be just tempporary and he further mutates into Scale Tail. Just an idea i had. It would also have been fun to see Armaggon. I hope he can be used in the Nick show,but it maybe too friendly for this darker character.

[cryan]

Mona Lisa Sense she was never expanded on.I would have loved to see what she would have looked like in the "red sky"style.Aslo,Playmates already made her figure by that time.Mondo Gekko is another that should have come back.

Considering the last couple of seasons were like this, this is how I would've seen any extra seasons going. By this time they were done introducing pre-existing characters. Besides, new characters in the show = new action figures = $$$$.
