Not to mention the gator in the sewer was like the size of the sewer tunnel they were fighting it in. And don't tell me "It looked bigger cause they were small" That's BS. If that gator had mutated LH would have been freaking giant. And he's not much bigger then the TMNT and they were palm sized when they mutated.

LH is a gator, he used to say it all the time in the old series*I know loosely based on the comics still* I think it says he's an alligator in the Mirage comics even.

Reading the comics and paying attention really helps you.

As for croc or gator, I have no idea which Leatherhead is. I wonder if Mirage even knows.

And as for Rat King, I suspect that Tales #35 won't be able to do justice to his character. Rat King is an enigma. He always was an engima. If they explain him, they will take away from his character.

Unless of course they pull off something really surprising. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

yep thats all we can ever do...and speculate...lots and lots of nice speculation.

But yeah it's gonna take allot away from him and with the archie team doing the issue and it looking like archie rat king its gonna make me think of this being the tale of archie rat kings story not mirage...does anyone else feel this way?

What would suck is if they made Rat King's story similar to the 2k3 series. That would be horrible I think. It couldbe done nicely, but I don't foresee it

I agree with you 100%

I hated the 2k3 version of the Rat King, it took away all the mythical and spiritual elements from his character, and made him a Frankenstein's monster.

I'm sick of all these issue's with cowboys and now cute toddler turtles, I want some bloody grittiness, with maybe some human villains for a change.

July's not that far off - and from the looks of the previews, I think we may have enough grit and Foot Clan action in #36 to hold us over for a while! It's a 40 pager according to the sites too!

But that's how he pretty much was originally presented in the comics. In fact, the only name we're really given is "The Monster," and in that first appearance in "Tales of the TMNT" Vol. 1, he also seemed to indicate the "character" he plays often changes daily ("This year... I'll be the Monster!" or something somesuch, implying last year and next year he might be something else). He became more of a spiritual presence (actually, pretty literally) in "City at War" to Splinter.

His profile, from Palladium's really, really fascinating "Transdimensional Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" sourcebook :

They do have human villians. They're just all dead now.

Sounds like Tristan Jones' Tales #36 will be just what the doctor ordered!

Fascinating read. Goes into detail about the physics involved in time-travelling, a timeline of events all the way into the 3600s, and little mini-stories and such.

Thanks

will now pay Amazon a visit

*Ninjinister* · 05-27-2007, 05:09 PM

-_- I have never personally encountered one of those TMNT RP books. I would love to have them; my brother says a friend of his has a couple, but he'd only be willing to sell them to me for upwards of $50 each, even though they were purchased for less than $10.

*Andrew NDB* · 05-27-2007, 05:13 PM

A quick glance on eBay reveals a copy going for $7.

3 hours left.

Thanks for the link, but to take advantage of it, I'd have to, you know, like use eBay.

*Whitewolf89* · 05-27-2007, 10:47 PM

Try Palladium's official website. THEY still carry TMNT RPG books, although it's mostly just the "After the Bomb" ones. (A member over at the Palladium forums said that the license that they had for TMNT ran out in 2000, and that it would be a long time, if ever, if it was renewed.)

You can, however, check the "Classifieds" section of the forums. There's a member who has TMNT books for sale for cheap. The ad/post says that they're "beat up", but that's a relative term. They may NOT be in the best shape, but according to what I read, they ARE intact. You just have to check them out.

Good hunting.

Sad you say that cause I found it to be one of the best 2K3 episodes even if the comic is better.

This is why all we get are toddler TMNT episodes because you fans whine when they do something good.
