Bebop and Rocksteady - Page 2

I do hope Bebop and Rocksteady's human designs are similar enough to be familiar like that Russian guy would make a good Rhino hint, hint, hint.

That is if they appear in this show's universe.

Cybercubed just wants the show to be "Fan-pandering" the series

Maby those figures at toys'r'us are the IDW-versions of Bebop & Rocksteady. For sure there would be a big market for these versions of those beloved characters...

Nah those figures are for the nick show they were listed with the Rahzar figure who debuted in yesterday's episode.

It might be interesting to see takes on Bebop and Rocksteady that are based around the music styles that they're named after, rather than the 80's punk motif - Bebop could have 1940's zoot suit design while Rocksteady would have a more Jamaican-inspired wardrobe.

Do they even make IDW figures of the turtles? I didn't even know that was a thing. I'm not that into collecting figures though.

The figures were listed at $8.99, along with these other figures:

Battle Shell & Larp variants of the turtles
Kirby Bat
Casey Jones
Tiger Claw
Rahzar
Slash
Mutagen Man

The price means that they can't be the classics line, as those retail for $19.99. The lineup of characters are all from the Nick series, and this line of figures has never featured characters outside of this series.

I'm pretty confident if Bebop/Rocksteady show up their designs will be similar to the OT, rather than more "monster" like such as the other Nick mutant designs, and their human forms will be recognizable.

1. Dogpound/Fishface were human prior to mutation, and are obviously a new mutant henchmen team inspired by the originals. Also with Dogpound being Rahzar now its even more obvious.

2. IDW kept Bebop/Rocksteady's human designs looking as similar as they could.

3. Bebop's purple mohawk and shades will not make sense if his human form doesn't have them.

Who says he'll have a Mohawk. Who says it'll be purple. Could be a black dude with random blonde hair. Who says bebop will even have a human form. It's all up in nicks hands and they keep surprising us at every turn. Did you for a moment expect Rahzar to be a super form of dogpound who used to be an all new character named Chris Bradford. Just wait and see. I see little reason for them to suddenly bring in new gang members anyways. They could even be the last remaining human foot members. Who's to say one of em doesn't have a purple Mohawk under the mask.

Because it's like changing Baxter to white again, there's no reason to alter their human forms.

Because there's some kind of precedent for that...?

Aaronardo · 11-18-2013, 04:17 PM

Spoiler:

Anyway, Bebop and Rocksteady MIGHT happen. I wouldn't see any reason in bringing them in since we already have Rahzar and Fishface running around and (hopefully, eventually) Tokka. It just wouldn't make sense. Now, having them as a throwaway joke would be pretty cool, but nothing more. Like Raph's "turtle in a trenchcoat" joke.

However black Baxter never turned into a fly in the comics or 2k3 version, the white one did. I don't see you complaining. No one cares. If you want the OT with a more modern and adult tone go read IDW and leave Cito alone to do what he wants.

*NinjaPug* · 11-18-2013, 05:20 PM

I've never understood why people use the IDW comic as a basis for anything related to this show.

*CyberCubed* · 11-18-2013, 05:28 PM

The point is everyone recognizes Bebop and Rocksteady's human forms. They will look slightly different than their OT selves, so did the IDW ones...but they will still be the same.

I will be very angry if Bebop is not black and doesn't have a purple mohawk and shades before mutation. Rocksteady's design is a bit more generic, but as long as he has light hair and army pants I'm fine.

???

People can't rewatch episodes or DVDs? Does it matter how long ago it aired when Season 1 is the most rewatched season of the OT?

No need. Bradford and Xever are already their stand in.

It sounds like they are coming in though. They have toy listings just like Rahzar did (and that was before we knew Rahzar was even going to be in the show), and Ciro has dropped hints about them and mentioned them a few times.
