No, Dreamwave was the comic based on the 4Kids cartoon series.

I'll be interested to see what new twists they add into this version.

Well every origin story is slightly different so this one probably will be as well but I hope that the turtles and splinter have been together for the 15 years because I always thought that made them more like a family.

I'm anxious to see how they handle the origin story. I think it'll be sort of like the FW toon but it might have a different side to it as well. We'll just have to wait and see.

If splinter.is yoshi then its likely gonna be reboot of the 87 cartoon with a similar origin.

Archie had the Splinter is Yoshi origin (though it was based on the FW series until it got 'good" ). Heck, IDW kinda has the Splinter is Yoshi origin.

^^ Kinda? No, not at ALL
Just so nobody gets confused here
Mirage/Image comics, 1990 movie-Splinter is Yoshi's pet rat that mutates with the turtles being trained in Ninjitsu for self defense/killing Shredder.

OT,Archie-Splinter was Yoshi mutated along with the turtles after being exiled from the Foot Clan.

2K3, Dreamwave- Splinter was Yoshi's pet rat that watched his master killed by the Shredder and his Foot ninjas. This was the only origin in which Yoshi was never a part of the Foot Clan.

IDW- Splinter was a super intelligent lab rat that was mutated along with the turtles and was somehow the reincarnated version of a fuedal era ninja master Hamato Yoshi. He was reincarnated along with his four teenage sons that don't remember anything from their past life with the exception of the eldest brother.

And it sucked. HARD. The art was kinda cool but nobody gave a damn about the Purple Dragon guy or Leo giving some kid self confidence.

I wonder if it's Shen.

thats a cliche i hope not that story line again...

I imagine the origin will incorporate elements of past origins while introducing a new twist on it. I'll be surprised if the Kraang aren't involved somehow. They'll be creating a mutant army of their own, so I imagine that bit of tech will be involved with mutating Yoshi and the turtles.

It's a small detail, but assuming that some sort of mutagen/ooze is involved, I'd love to see it be pink like the '87 show.

Edit: As for the timing of their mutation, I actually wouldn't mind them first mutating without Splinter around. Then have him find them when they're toddlers or something, and raise them from that point on.

I’m hoping it will be the OT meets Mirage Comics origin. Yoshi will mutate into Splinter, but the turtles were found as infants after mutation and will be fifteen or so by the start of the season. I’m hoping there’s no reincarnation thing. If there is, let it just be for Splinter and NOT the turtles.

So, looking at the trailer, it would appear that two Kraang aliens try to accost Yoshi while he's walking with the turtles in a bowl, and after a struggle they all get oozed.

Not exactly sure what makes him turn into a rat, and we still don't know what all happened between Yoshi and Saki, but this is a start.

[Mr.Turtle]

i really dont care which origin they adopt...as long as it makes sense in the show.
