As its title suggests, this storyline puts more focus and pathos on Bebop and Rocksteady than usual. Unappreciated in their time, the pair thrive under their new 80s bosses, who pay them generously and make them feel valued. At first they’re happier than ever, but the cracks start to show once they realize they’re helping a pair of cruel morons to destroy the world. It’s another testament to the show’s writing that really treats the characters like characters.

I heard that the 3 episodes ("Wanted: Bebop & Rocksteady", "The Foot Walks Again!" and "The Big Blowout") are gonna be put together as an hourlong mini-movie. And yeah... the storyline focuses on 2K12 Bebop and Rocksteady.

Even better, you could slap on TransDimensional Turtles at the beginning and you have a 1 hour, 20 minute movie.

This is definetly gonna be compared to Turtles Forever.

That would be cool.

Hopefully they treat the 80s turtles well with the whole treating them as slightly weaker since i thought they did a decent job with transdimensional.

I get the idea that they didn't fight much in the 80s toon but the idea is still meant to be that they are ninjas lol

Spoiler:

I like the description about 2k12 Rocksteady and Bebop. Maybe there's a chance of closure for their characters and peace with the turtles, like what happened with Tigerclaw and Fishface.

Alot of people said the same about Transdimensional Turtles in their reviews (80s version are incompetent) so Im not worried about this going full blown TF.

Probably a pizza joke in the middle, the 80s team using the environment around them as opposed to their weapons but nothing belittling

Naturally the 80s turtles soon show up on the trail of their villains, and get clobbered by the new and improved henchmen, completely unprepared to handle their firepower and brute force. The show pokes plenty of fun at the kid-friendly 80s turtles as wacky goofballs with no actual martial arts skills or fighting prowess.

Why am I not surprised?

As per the show’s usual incredible writing,

It’s another testament to the show’s writing that really treats the characters like characters.

HAHAHAHA!!

They will make fun of each other and the 2012's will make fun of the 80s a little, that's gonna happen. I just hope they don't go into overkill.
I thought they made the80's turtles and shredder look stupid in turtles forever but I only watched it once and haven't seen enough of either show to make that judgment really.
Either way I'm still looking forward to this crossover.

Honestly, I don't think you can really do an accurate version of the 80s turtles without acknowledging the fact that the show really was incredibly goofy lol.

Goofy and fun, Yes. Incompetent and Annoying? No

Very true. Its like people have never watched the show that bring it back. The Turtles never been in a deadly situation? They fight sentiment pizza? Turtles Forever was even contradicted as Krang wanted to destroy all reality when he was opposed to that in Turtles Forever. He wanted to rule it while Ch'rell wanted to destroy it. Yet in Trans-dimensional Turtles Krang takes on a smaller version of Ch'rell's scheme. There is also the fact the '87 Turtles and Mirage Turtles do not acknowledge each other like they met before. Sure, the '87 Turtles were goofy b-movie loving and pizza obsessed, but were dedicated and equipped. The main problem it had were the censors of a sensitive era.

When i first watched turtles forever i remembered it all wrong and thought they were actually like that in the 80s toon but then i watched a few episodes of the 80s show and realised they were really over exaggerated.

Transdimension i thought was way more respectful because they at least made an effort to get the characters down right even if they throw in some playful mockery.

The FW turtles are really nothing like the way they acted in Turtles Forever, apart from maybe Michelangelo at times. Leonardo is very serious, Raphael is simply sarcastic, and Donatello is pretty serious as well. They were all turned into jokers to contrast with the more serious 2k3 turtles. I didn't like that, really.

[FredWolfLeonardo]

The only time I thought any 80s turtle acted like how they were in Turtles Forever was Leonardo from the episode "Leonardo Lightens Up".

Yeah, that's a great point. Leo is pretty out of whack in that episode. I love that episode, by the way. It's great when Splinter beats him at skateboarding, lol.

[saintsaucey]

So how many episodes do we get and what episodes is it?

[saintsaucey]

I just don't understand how they can f*ck up the end of the series by releasing the do a on DVD in such a haphazard way

[impetus]

Besides the three-episode arc, the DVD also includes Lone Rat and Cubs (and the ICK music video).
