Now I remember, I had forgotten her name, thanks!

Yeah, I didn't know who was writing it, I only knew that IDW was including the TMNT in Infestation, but that makes me even more excited for it.

I really dug Tristan's Tales comics, and it's good to see that IDW is looking to past TMNT writers, I think that shows a certain commitment to the fandom that they aren't ignoring creators from TMNT's past.

I guess in every universe Baxter will always have his Mouser robots, even if they technically didn't need to do this plotline again this time around.

I wonder if they'll get more than a one shot appearance.

Stockman's hunting Splinter. What better time is there to bring in rat-hunting robots?

It would seem weird if Baxter didn't have Mousers in some form.

There is a strong hint to their appearance on Dan Duncan's cover of #6 and they are shown outright on his cover of #8, so that's at least 2 appearances.

I also hope that Baxter will continue to refine his mousers and robotics, so that he's not just a one-trick pony. Perhaps move from miniature swarming robots to larger one-on-one robots like those seen in City At War or Volume 2. Those almost looked like giant mousers, anyway! Of course, there is the danger of redundancy in which Baxter just keeps bringing new robots and the whole routine gets old, so hopefully there would be a balanced approach to it... I already like that this iteration of Baxter not only dabbles in robotics, but various other scientific pursuits at StockGen.

I agree. The two are inseparable, at least in my opinion. I love those mousers. V.1 #2 really made them strikingly badass. As a kid watching the OT I thought they were no big deal, then I read the comics as was like..."oh wow, the Turtles could have been chomped alive by robots..." Pretty gruesome, and a formidable threat.

What's different than V.1 #2 mousers I wonder? It seems that these mousers can fire something judging from the cover, but I wonder what else...

*Andrew NDB* · 12-18-2011, 03:23 PM

I was wondering if IDW was going to do something offbeat with them... maybe making Baxter's "Mousers" into microscopic nanites or nanobots that terminate rats from the inside out or something.

That's a pretty cool idea.

marcelangelo · 12-18-2011, 05:32 PM

while I cherrish new alternative ways to entertain the audience I highly hope they avoid ANYTHING with nanotechnology this time around...man, I feel this technology is being done to death in the turtles universe with the nanomonster(which I liked) or the nanobots of lord dregg in the ot or the shredders nano robots in the ot before that....there was even a tales issue with them, right?...I am in awe of the possibillities that lie ahead with research on nanotechnology in real life but I just can't stand this thing all over again

*CyberCubed* · 12-20-2011, 07:29 PM

So I am not getting how all these other TMNT villain cameos will exist in Infestation. Is it like a whole glimpse into alternate universes or something? Or is it IDW's take on the characters appearing for one or two panels?

It's a multiversal spanning event; cameos are bound to happen and not mean a thing in the long run except that other universes exist.

Heck, there could even be a cameo to the Mirage universe.

TobTurn · 12-23-2011, 06:44 AM

A Bishop-cameo? That's awesome! I'm hoping for characters from the OT too. And a certain other character.

Metropoliskid41 · 12-23-2011, 07:27 AM

I'm really excited for Infestation, really can't wait to see what surprises and cameos we have pop up if they open the multi-dimensial can of worms.

Grimlock · 12-28-2011, 11:37 AM

Has the Eastman variant been revealed yet for this issue?

*Donnie* · 01-08-2012, 12:09 AM

Do you guys think one of the Turtles, or Splinter perhaps, will be injured? The blurb says not everyone will leave safely...I bet Splinter is captured like in Mirage #3...it would be a good intro to Krang's "base" or whatever. The Turtles gotta storm it to save him. Maybe?

I don't think one of the Turtles are going to be injured just yet, they were just reunited and to take one of them out of the game so early on would really hinder the team aspect too quickly.

Abnormal Freak · 01-08-2012, 12:27 AM

If Duncan continues to draw as well as he does on the #8 cover and improve further, he may become one of my favorite Turtles artists. Definite promise and a huge step up from the previous stuff he's done.

Yes his style has improved by HUGE leaps and bounds compared to the first 4 issues. I am starting to see what Kevin has apparently been seeing all along. No more ugly turtles!
