Apparently they were going to work with the story that the ooze hadn't finished changing them yet. Long after the movie was scrapped, the good people at fox had the idea for a power rangeresque version of the TMNT, and thus the Next mutation was revived/born.

In the movie, the turtles were supposed to have the following abilities:
Raph/Splinter: Change into giant crazy super versions of themselves
Don: Telekinetic Ability, though sadly, at the cost of his eyesight
Leo: Skin changed into an impenetrable substance (ala Colossus)
Mike: Ability to shape shift, making it possible for him to interact with people on the surface world.

Here's some pictures from the concept art Peter Laird had prepard:
Raph:

Don:

Leo:

Mike:

Splinter:


Not a horrible idea at first glance. It would have breathed some...interesting life into the TMNT property. I'm happier overall that it didn't work out though. Not that I wouldn't have given it a chance of course.

i like the pictures!
