Best Shredder Ever!

His armor was super-tacky, his helmet had overly large spikes and a mesh mouthpiece that was really easy to see through, and he actually wore eye-makeup. He looked like an evil, super-ugly drag queen.

Ooh, should I be glad I've never seen that Shredder?

Maybe the cape would have looked better in a different "shade" but if you know the meanings of colors, what they symbolize, what emotions and such they draw, it makes perfect sense why Shredder wears purple over red or blue or...shudder...sexy black. He's an odd, dramatic, egotistical jerk.

Yet another forgotten Shredder - this time unused CG one from 2001.







DESTROY THEM!

Badass.

I know I am.

Now I am resisting the urge to look it up.

I perfer Mirage shredder. Sure, he is dead. But the emotional impact he left on all four turtles is pwnage. It gives shredder more dimension to be a bad guy.

You know, I was watching the 3 parter the other day, and when the little red evil utron Shredder is revealed, then jumped onto Raph's head, he lost all credibility. The concept just never struck me as real. Reminded me of those old silly movies, Critters. It was too comical. Felt like a twist in some fan fiction I might have read. It ruined the prior battles for me. It was just a battle suit the turtles fought. Shredder as a human always struck me as more menacing, like in the movie, for example, when he refers to Turtles with disgust as freaks.

Yeah, an alien not on his own world doesn't have much right to call them freaks, like he did in the new toon's first big battle. Him being an Utrom later on just ruined the impact of that scene at the water tower, when you think about it.

YEAH!
Drop Dead Fred!!

That quote always cracked me up.

[Masked Ninja]

Purple and blue? That looks like dark red t'me. I think they should use red OR blue. Not both... it looks funky. I can't decide whether that Shredder is cool or not. It may be borderline.

Nermind, man.

Like a big bruise on turtles' lives...

He looks like a OS/movie crossover. He wouldn't be that bad, methinks.

EDIT: Wait never mind, I have it.

Gotta go with the new toon. The old toon Shredder wasn't really evil enough to be the definative Shredder. The Utrom twist gave Shredder a much more intresting and well need background. Plus, this new Shredder is kickass all around.

I love the new toon Shredder because he dosen't need to rely on Mutants and talking brains to help him get the job done, he's lethal. And his plans don't always involve kidnapping April and trying to conquer Earth, his schemes were much inventive. And his army was better trained, and he surrounded himself with better company. Karai, Hun, and Stockman. This new Shredder is a menace around the universe, that's saying something. He's comitted interstellar atrosities, he's an evil mastermind, and has given the TMNT beatens after beatings.

He is the Ultimate Shredder

Are you guys colorblind? Adjust the gamma on your monitor, the CG Shredder is Red.

I agree with your post, except for one thing--how was Old Toon Shredder NOT evil? He committed attempted murder more times than anyone cares to count, tried to enslave the planet on an almost weekly basis, and was generally bad mutha. Being evil does not mean being evilly creative, or successful, or impressive--it's merely about being evil.
