Wasn't she already pregnant when they met?

Ah yeah I forgot about that. But yeah, the City at War issues centering around April and Casey were far too adult for the 4kids writers to adapt.

If Rat King had gotten an episode in either Season 5 or 7 they might have adapted the Splinter story from City at War. I find it bizarre they wanted to make a third Garbageman episode during Season 5 instead of a Rat King episode, which would have made more sense.

I wish I was joking

April, Casey and Splinter stuff aside, they bastardized the holy sh*t out of the main storyline of City at War. I can't even watch it any more.

Although I bet Krang will be in the movie now.

I hope for Krang to now in the new movie and The Technodrome
That must be in the movie now, Technodrome in a movie will be 100% cool and loved by all the fans. If Transformers can in a movie, then they can make a Technodrome to

I don't know if the Technodrome would be loved by all fans if it appeared. I mean, when ever I read an article about the OT, usually there are comments by people who say that they are fans of the original comics who complain that they hated the show because they claim "This ruined the Turtles! No more Cowabunga!" and a whole lot of other stuff. Now if the Technodrome was retooled into something cool and modern I can live with it. But I would like a movie based more on Mirage with some characters returning from the show and references to the OT.

They were in the movie because it was their movie. Making a Transformers movie without the Transformers would be pretty lame.

Eh, I'm all for introducing the Technodrome eventually (maybe Ninja Turtles 2 or 3, if it gets that far), but not right away.

So glad there are people like you who can speak on behalf of the entire fanbase.

No, wait. Don't do that ever again.

Gotta agree with this.

The Technodrome should not be in the movie. Although I have a bad feeling it will be.

[Jephael]

How can you not want to see the freaking Technodrome in live action? That would be so bad@$$!!!

[BubblyShell22]

I'm all for The Technodrome being shown. And why do you say it wouldn't be loved by all the fans? Sure, not everyone may like it, but I have a feeling that if it was shown, a lot of fans would love it.

[Jester]

A lot, but not all. Those kind of sweeping generalizations can lead to some really crapy movies.
"All fans love Bebop, Rocksteady, and Krang so they should be in the movie." But there are quite a few people who don't care for those characters, and even those of us who do don't always think that they'll work outside the media they come from. Bebop and Rocksteady worked in the FW toon, because it was comedy with a little bit of action. In a more serious piece of Turtle media, they may seem...well...off.

Maybe. I know a lot of fans of OT would love it, the rest, not so much. It's kinda the same with the Sonic fans. On one side, you got fans who loved the Sonic Satam cartoon with the Freedom Fighters, on the other, you got fans who hate it and love only the games. Then you got fans who are in the middle and like both. I could live with the Technodrome if it appeared updated and modern, but I'd want a movie based more on Mirage source material than OT. Or better yet, maybe make it like the IDW series, I like how Krang is portrayed there.

[Donnie]

An IDW inspired Krang would be sick, I could see that working. As long as it's not an OT spit-out I'm cool. I would be okay with the revisioning of the Technodrome, I just hope it's done tastefully.

[Galactus]

Is there really a point to having the Technodrome in a movie? Either it would be fully powered and crushing buildings which would take the movie into ultra sci fi territory and far away from the "real world" feeling that I feel made the other movies successful.

The other option is that it's low on power like it was for 98% of the Fred Wolf show and rendered an utterly useless ableit cool looking hideout for the villains.

Yes, I am aware of saying this on a site called thetechnodrome.com

So I've changed a lot my opinion on this, I was very bummed to think that it wasn't going to be the turtle movie I expected or close to the source material. But after I saw that sketch that looked nothing like Ninja Turtles I thought of how we already have a somewhat mirage based movie, yes a new one can easily be made, but I wouldn't mind a kick ass technodrome fighting, laser touting, ninja action filled, villains galore, ninja turtles movie. Sure it might be nothing like what we think the TMNT are but so is the OT and I quite enjoy it. As long as it's entertaining, I'll enjoy it and try to see it with an open mind. This might be our chance to see some things from the turtles universe that we wouldn't in any other type of movie because it wouldn't be "realistic". I'll gladly take that over a more true to the source material that ends up lacking in many fronts like TMNT 2007.

In fact that is exactly what I hope with this movie, if they aren't going to be faithful to the source material, they might as well go crazy with it and show their take on as much TMNT mythos as they can into the movie and make it a fun ride.

Hm...that is a very optimistic way to look at things. And for that dear sir, I tip my hat to you.

as am i, if it's done correctly of course. i'd feel like i'd died and gone to heaven if it's shown. i'd love to see how it'd be done along with Krang

[Ravenxl7]

I have to admit, I was definitely a bit outraged when Bay made his statement. It was really nice to get the clarification from the director (who I hear is apparently a bit TMNT fan). With Bay as just one of five or so producers, I'm not as worried as I once was. I'll definitely be giving the new movie a chance, and if I actually end-up liking it, will probably see it at least twice in theaters.

You must have just missed it.

“Look, it’s so funny—if everyone was such a die-hard fan, they would know that the TCRI canisters where the ooze comes from. That is alien ooze."
