This is a villian collage from Mikey's. It looks to have been done by Tokka. Shredder can be seen in the upper left.

I choose Classic toon Shedder because he was both amusing and on some levels very convincing. He was evil but in a fun way that you just loved!! Also he had the greatest personality, he was just so rotten and ill-tempered, he didn't have a nice thing to say about anything or any one. And some of his evil doing was sometimes really...um...evil! Like his poisening April, or locking April in an air tight safe. Trying to dissovleve Michaelangelo, throughing Baxter into the portal with out a second thought, ect. All these where pretty menacing deeds and could have been played up that way if the writters had made a bigger deal out of them.

Oh and I just loved the partnership between Krang and him that was just gold! Krang and him played off each other so well, they where like peanutbutter and jelly. I think Classic toon Shredder is the only character on that show that could survive with his own show (well maybe with Krang init too).

But you know a better quote in the poll for Old toon Shedder would have been "Not even close, tonight I dine on turtle soup" that was a bad ass line and was a classic! Maybe the poll could be changed to this?

She'd have to be someone pretty strong and stellar, I think. Or maybe he has a soft spot for the occasional meek woman (on the outside only, perhaps at first glance). I think one mandatory trait about anyone who would want to be with him would have to not want kids. He's just not the fathering type. Which is perfect for me.

He's pretty mysterious, and I also think find excitement in not knowing whether or not he'll kiss me or kill me. I must be a closet masochist.

Plus someone that hot with an outfit like that has to have some serious kinks.

Maybe some people will think I am delusional there. Oh well. MINE.

Oh, and true badasses can pull off wearing purple *cough*TheJoker*cough*, kthanksbai.
Wow, you make some really good points, looks like you like to analise and dissected as much as I do LOL. I actually agree with you on that!!

Quote:
Even as a kid I was disappointed that it only went that far. There was some serious sexual tension between those two sometimes. Sigh.
wow...now that you mentioned it you are right There was some kind of sexual tension between those two. Shedder kidnapped and tyed up April and swung her around on his shoulder more times than I can count. He couldn't keep his hands off of her, the little pervert. And if you think about it they are very similar characters, there both egotistical, selfish cows LMAO

Gotta go with everyone else. OT Shredder all the way. I love the episodes after the initial five where Shredder is on his own without Krang's technology, and only had his wits to rely on. In the Incredible Shrinking Turtles, he beats all the turtles on his own at the docks. That was pretty cool to rewatch. The voice acting is second to none. Often times, voice actors go under-appreciated, so its nice to see Uncle Phil getting props. And finally, his costume and look rocked. A shame that version of him never got a great figure to match.

I loved the Shredder from the first movie. He was just so badass. Also, I thought that it was pretty cool how he only had a blade gaunlet thing on one hand, instead of two. I guess the first movie was where that originated because the new toon Shredder is the same.

Yeah NM Shredder was in the 5 part pilot, and not much more. To be honnest I'm not sure how much he a part he played in NT:TNM cause I've only seen the pilot, and edited at that.

Archie Shredder...well...think Old Toon Shredder if he was actually a force to be reconed with. Archie Shredder was what OT Shredder if he wasn't such a baby, and oddly enough, he still had some consept of honor (PM me for the whole story, or read the TMNT Adventures stuff on the official site, www.ninjaturtles.com)

Some one commented that classic toon Shredder seemed like he "let" the turtles win all the time. Well i think Shedder was good villan who would have been succsusful except that he was a victim of the company he assocaited him self with **coughBebopandRocksteadycough**. Half the time he failed because they screwed him up. That and he was usaully to arroagant which led to him failing.

hmmm can't decide between movie Shredder or NT Shredder.


Ot Shredder was good for the lighthearted feeling for the old toon.


I don't really think there is a bad version of the SHredder.

The New Toon Version is definatly the most meanicing of versions.

just can't choose,

I think i'll vote for the New Toon SHredder.

Well, I have to comment on a topic like this! My vote goes to the OT Shredder (no surprise, there). Great voice, cool outfit, likeable personality- just a great, fun character all around. It didn't even matter that he wasn't all that intimidating most of the time (although he has his badass moments, too)- he was the best character in the show. I also really like his interactions with Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady- tons of funny moments. Gotta love the old show.

The anime OVA Shredder (see avatar) is great, too, although obviously more of a parody. I do love the OVAs, though, and wish they made more...

I'm not as familiar with the other versions, although I've seen the movies and thought he came off as a pretty generic "bad guy" there. The comic and NT Shredders also sound more like he's made to be a typical "villain" character, but I haven't read/seen enough to judge.

Yeah.
Seeing the word Shredder and "hate him" in the same sentence perplexes me.

OT Shred-head all the way. Why? Let's look at all the Shredders:

Movies: Yeah, he was scary. Yeah, he mutated into Super Shredder in movie 2 (And, oddly enough, so did his armor). But he doesn't have the technology the other Shredders have. If there was a war between all the Shredders, Movie Shred would the first one down.

New Toon: Hard to fear a foot-tall brain-squid-thing. No need to call the Turtles; just get an exterminator. But you gotta give him props for coming back from the "dead" repeatedly.

Next Mutation: Venus beat him with some hypnotism. That's all. No more Shredder. Need I say more?

Comic Shredders: Uh... I didn't follow the comics that much. Sorry!

Old Toon: Most heavily armed. Giant mobile base with freaky eyeball cool enough to give this forum its name. Old school villain sense of style. And the only Shredder who hasn't been gotten rid of permanently.

Look at the Drome, people. LOOK AT THE DROME!

No, it hasn't shrunk, it's still at its normal size

Dark Devil Shredder is better and more powerful than all of the other Shredder incarnations combined together. It's sad he was the dumberst one either - Donatello defeated him within 2 minutes.

*shrugs* Probably on e-bay or somewhere. Maybe download them *shifty eyes*

I had to vote for New Toon Shredder because...well, I feel he's one of the more deadlier Shredders out there. My ideal Shred-head however would be new toon combind with old toon. A very deadly villain with some very witty quotes Also, I would've liked it if NS Shredder was human, but I guess you can't have everything

Well, it was either Laird get his head-slicing scene or us get our human Shredder.

Probably because the OT depended on him as a villain. They tried Dregg... ew... But it sure wasn't like the Turtles were trying to stop him once and for all.

I do enjoy OT Shredder for his humor and the way he and Krang blunder about. It's classic, and I loved it. But if we're talking "which Shredder would I cry and cower and beg for my life if he was standing in front of me?"... the new show delivers. I'm not the biggest fan of OT Shredder's costume (I think it would improve markedly if that cape were maroon or blue) but the movie Shredder's was even sillier-looking.
