Shredder recovers from his fall and uses a tiny bit of the mutagen to heal himself of his various injuries. He goes back to Sack's lab and brings with him Baxter Stockman, telling him and Stockman that they better work on creating more mutagen 'or else' because he wants his own mutants to better fight those 'freaks.'

Well, meanwhile April is trying to get her job back. Hanging with 4 Turtles doesn't pay the bills while living in NYC, so Bernadette decides to give her another chance just this once, mainly because she is down one or two reporters and needs someone to cover the feel good 'fluff' stories for the time being.

While traveling to one of her assigned stories, April notices something suspicious. Pulling over, she's shocked to see that it's more of the Foot, and these catch sight of her and capture her. Before she is captured, she uses the Turtlephone to try and call one of the Turtles, however she hits Vernon's number by mistake, and gets him. She still begs him to get help from the Turtles, but him wanting to be a tough guy, decides to try and rescue April himself. He uses the phone's GPS to track her last signal, and arrives at the place she's at (an abandoned warehouse.) He gets captured and tied up,and taken to Sack's and Baxter's lab along with her.

Shredder comes into the lab. He gloats that if she she is going to be Turtlebait to bring the Turtles, but because her meddling brought about so much trouble, he's going to add in a punishment. Not for her, but for her boyfriend Vernon, and she's going to watch him carry it out. April screams 'No,' and Vernon tells her, 'No matter what happens, I'll always love you."

Shredder orders Sachs and Stockman to hook Vernon up to some device with tubes, where they proceed to pump mutagen into Vernon's body, with Baxter injecting a vial of Rhino DNA into Vernon's veins. Vernon mutates, while April screams.

Meanwhile, Shredder uses the captured Turtlephone to call up one of the Turtles. He mentions that he's captured April, and that they better come before his freaks kill her.

In the background, Baxter mumbles to Sacks, 'Freaks? What freaks? We only made one." Suddenly Sacks pulls out a gun and points at him, saying, "Well, you are going to be freak number two. You are an expendable asset right now, and you know too much. Get in the other chair." Baxter is frightened, and complies by sitting in the other chair.

Sacks' ties him up, and hooks more tubes into him. He injects Warthog/Wild Boar (I can't decide which) into Baxter's arm and turns on the mutagen pumps. Baxter is screaming, while Vernon is already making rhino-like noises (whatever those sound like.)

Meanwhile, the Turtles are rushing to get to April. Mikey is having one of his moments and is exclaiming 'My precious April!" while Raph tells him to shut up. They are driving through traffic and one of the van's tires gets popped by a pot hole, forcing them to get out and travel by rooftop. Mikey complains 'Awe, we gotta walk?" while Raph deadpans a 'Well, maybe it will burn some of that pizza off your butt." Donna mentions something about triangulating Aprils' coordinates and Leo talks about making sure nobody sees them and needing to trying to find the fastest route possible to get there. Donnie suggests riding atop a train, and Leo agrees. They hop down a manhole,and find their way to a station. They all jump onto the roof of a train that Donnie says is going in that general direction, and they hop on.

Back at Sacks' lab, both men have finished mutating. They straining in their restraints, and both are making animal like noises. April has tears in her eyes, and mouthing "Vernon, Vernon..."

The Turtles' train carries them close enough, but after they jump off Donnie says that traveling on foot will still take a while for them to get there. They find a parked truck in the shadows, and Donnie breaks into it and hot wires it. Two Turtles sit in the front and two hunched down in the truck bed, and they drive the rest of the way to Sack's lab. They encounter some Foot, but their bullets don't affect the Turtles.

The Turtles burst into the lab, and Vernon and Baxter become excited and break from their restraints. The Turtles and the new mutants fight, but the new mutants end up proving to be a match for them. Mikey quips that they guys like to hit hard, and that he can't land a hit on them, and during this, one of them ends up knocking him and Donnie against the wall. They land against a wall, and Mikey quips 'We're getting tenderized dude! We gotta do something!"

*Meanwhile in the background, Shredder quietly leaves*

Well, Donnies notices that where they land is some power cables, and this gives him the germ of an idea. Looking quickly, he notices some sprinklers on the ceiling, and a plan now fully forms. He yells, "Guys, get to someplace non-conducting quickly!" The other three look at him for a moment, and then quickly scramble for anything non metal to stand on. Mikey grabs April and goes for a pile of rubber mats, Raph, goes for a stack of wooden pallets, and Leo goes for a sturdy desk. Donnie jumps up, and whips out a cigarette lighter as he gets a hold of a beam, and lights it under a sprinkler head. The sprinklers activate, and Donnie yells, 'Guys, cut open those power cords!" The guys all throw their shuriken at it, and the power cords start to spark in the water. Vernon and Baxter are caught in the electrical discharge, and are electrocuted to death.

Soon the power stops, and Donnie determines that it's safe to step down now because a fuse blew and cut the electricity. They free April and she's crying, and runs over to Vernon. He's clearly dead, and the Turtles decide they better get leaving and not risk sticking around.

Donnie decides hot wires a Clan Humvee, because there isn't enough room with April now. Two Turtles ride in the Humvee and two are in the truck, and Mikey is consoling April. In the background of the lab, there is another Foot soldier watching them through a window as they are leaving. He tears off his mask, although we only see him from the back. He turns, and the screen fades to black. *It turns out to be Casey Jones*

I hate you so much, Michael Bay! Bad enough that you ruined the movie, but now you come on to our home turf forum to mock us!!???

An odd bird, you are.

I think you're forgetting that I enjoy Next Mutation.

I adore cornball garbage - but it has to entertain me. That's the caveat. BayTurtles bored the fleas off me -- and that's where I have the problem.

Also I never make the mistake of actually thinking my cornball garbage is actually good. They can have my copies of Razorblade Smile, Battlefield Earth and Frankenhooker when they pry them from my cold, dead hands, but I know they're total schlock.

^Awesome.


Btw, everytime I read this thread's title, I read as "TMNT 2 to shoot in Alabama" and the song Sweet Home Alabama plays in my mind.

I home Irma (like in the 1987 cartoon or Archie Comics, no 2012 Irma-robot) shows up.

Great fine, I hope this time, They actually use the footage, Last time they filmed in New York, They didnt use some of the scenes in the movie, Remember when they shot the actor playing Raph in the middle of New York? And a scene of him wearing the trenchcoat? Those scenes didn't make it the actual movie.

I hope whatever they shoot, Ends up in the movie this time.

Granted all movies get some pieces cut. Kind of wonder if that got cut because if they're trying to be "realistic" and he's trying to be disguised, the images we did see looks like he'd stick out like a sore thumb. The animation folks did well with the cgi of the stuff the Turtles were wearing, I've wondered if the trench coat would have worked out better if they'd just gone cgi with that instead.

I wouldn't mind seeing them try it again in the/a sequel, but cgi it; and might work better on Mikey's smaller form.

I know what you mean. If they made the movie all about Irma it would be wonderful.
I just heard about the news from the IDW 44 issue. what is the chances that will be in the movie? I wanted to not spooile it if they did not read yet.

Hardly, the OT had farrrr more annoying characters than that. Surely you're forgetting/unaware of Mr. Ogg, for example...

Not gonna happen, Considering the TMNT movies are considered family films.

Not showing Raph in a trench coat was a complete miss opportunity, It could've been a nod to the 1990 film.

They even had an action figure of it.

I do hope they try this again in the 2nd, and somehow make it work.

Family films have death all the time. So it can happen.

never heard of Mr Ogg. But to be fair I don't remember much from the OT seasons.

A rather sad reality of the continuity they set forth in last years movie is that what happened in the latest IDW issue can't happen.

Spoiler:

Nor could anything like the story line in Leonardo #1 and it's subsequent arc or any of it's adaptions of that story like in 1990 movie, the 4kids show and the current animates series happen in the new movie. Which is a shame because not only has some mileage come from the the characters dealing with an injury, at very least it heightens the tension of a battle scene knowing these characters can be hurt. Even the light-on violence Fred Wolf show showed them injured sometimes. You can't portray that in the sequel not without downplaying their immense strength and ignoring their healing ability which I hope they do but am not holding out for it.

Even if they did what's the likelihood of this happening? The turtles are not the center of the movie and even if they were and the writers were inclined to include something like I don't think it would be done well. After recently giving it another chance recently I think what many people thought was the "saving grace" is how well the turtles and their family aspect was done isn't anywhere near good enough to deal with the kind of dynamics such a story would bring out.

And the IDW series is a family friendly comic. We've had assertions from people involved stating that Nickelodeon vets everything with the possibility of young readers in mind.

Several family movies have portrayed similar or more overt things onscreen that what IDW did in it's latest issue.

Then again "family movie" is a broad term but it's seems people are using it in the context of the 2014 to mean "aimed mostly at the under tens" which is strange as it's sexual humor and over the top (if toothless) depiction of action doesn't exactly scream good time for the little ones and certainly throughout the production what little the creators where telling us it certainly didn't seem like they were aiming squarely for kids and I remember at one interview they claimed the opposite.

It's mainly retroactively that it's been billed as a "family movie" in that sense. Interestingly I've yet to see anything but anecdotal evidence it was even that popular with kids.

Not showing Raph in a trench coat was a complete miss opportunity, It could've been a nod to the 1990 film.

They even had an action figure of it.

I do hope they try this again in the 2nd, and somehow make it work.

There are many things I dislike about the movie but honestly I consider this a bullet dodged.

There has always been a suspension of disbelief with the turtles donning disguises but the way the set photos made that scene look was too ridiculous even in a movie like we got.

Same with the turtle van. I can't imagine that thing involved in an actual battle.

[IndigoErth]

If the movie wants to kill anyone off than, I dunno, be different and kill off April. That way the Turtles might even get to be the actual stars of it.

Spoiler:

But anyone hurts Leo then I hurt them... even if it is only mentally (calm down FBI). I dunno about the comics, but at least other two versions of him ended up unconscious last year. How about a bit more good dialogue in the second movie, good action, a bit of development, and let him dodge much of the potential hurt. >.>

Agree, it just ended up looking too bulky in their effort to make it fit cgi Raph's size. Works well in 1990, but here their size just overdoes it.

I doubt Leo could get away with it either. Might just make Mikey look like a lil' chunky butt and get away with it a little more since he's not so huge; Donnie might get away with it if he'd take all that stuff off him.
