Baxter Stockman as a Fly or a Cyborg? - Page 3

Isn't he freed from a psychiatric hospital by Shredder in "Return of the Shredder"? First I always thought he was in prison where he met that Napoleon-like strange man.

I liked him best when he was 100% human, he had much more potenticial as a human with his smarts and his gradual embittered personality. One of human Baxter's greatest moments was when he turned on the Shredder and went after the turtles himself. He had so much potentcial to be a good adversary for the turtles in his own right as was shown in this episode since he was both genuanly menacing and power hungry. Missed oppertunity.

When he got turned into a fly it started off interesting since it made him such a tragic character and the show could have held on to that except he steadly got dumber and more dependant on his alien computer. True, him steadily losing his human intellect was tragic and had alot of promise but, meh, all it did was turn Baxter into another generic bumbling bad guy that littered the old series.

There's a fanfic (with a sequel) out there where Donatlelo tries to turn Baxter Stockman back into human again. It starts interesting, but then evolves into whole other types of story (I don't want to spoil you).

I think Baxter and Rat King were my two favorite bad guys after the core villans of Shredder and Krang.

Did Rat king and Baxter ever team-up in the old series? I can't remember.

Hi Sage, No,they appeared in one episode together, "Return of The Fly". Rat King liking April for her red fur...I mean hair located where Baxter took her. Then immediately after he disappears Baxter arrives with Shredder,Bebop, and Rocksteady. They just missed each other unforunately. This prompts Raph's quip, "Swell, we trade one rat for another!". It would have been nice though seeing them both want to prove they can't be used as tools for the gain of the partnership of Shredder and Krang! I will leave that to your fan-fiction writting!

I'm planning a fanfic with Baxter Stockman returning to Earth from Dimension X, finding a last piece of his mousers and re-building the mouser control computer to fight off the Rat King's rats when they invade New York City.
