The 4kids TMNT Continuity Timeline

The 1990 and 2000 things just don't line up. There's no in-show reference to those years, and even if they were "canon".... that would make the Turtles 10 years old when they first fight Shredder. Didn't happen like that.

I've been led to believe that The Shredder Wars could simply have been an alternate time-line. If not, I'd put it in with were Serling goes back to the future.



Please do!

Depends on at which age they were oozed.

Makes no sense. They get oozed and after one year Splinter just goes "Happy 6th birthday boys!"?
Plus there is no freaking way 6 years pass between "Things Change" and the opening scene of Future Shellshock.

Ooze date = DoB.


Besides, the official synopsis for "The Journal" even refers to the year they went to the future as 2006.

[Xav]

How could Splinter be alive in the 70's? Rats only live a couple of years. Even if the Ooze increased his lifespan, there is no way he could've lived to 1988 to get Oozed. Plus the Foot from A Tale of Master Yoshi are listed as 60's Foot Ninja. You also have to remove the 2106 stuff as that is not canon because of BTTS and Turtles Forever.

It's a cartoon.

Plus the Foot from A Tale of Master Yoshi are listed as 60's Foot Ninja.

That was a character design sheet.

You also have to remove the 2106 stuff as that is not canon because of BTTS and Turtles Forever.

Uh... no I don't. There is obviously a decent sized gap between the last episode of FF and "Tempus Fugit", all of that could have happened easily.

[Xav]

Yes I know it's a cartoon, but it should at least make sense, and I have no idea why you have to be so rude with your responses. BTW both of my parents were married when I was born. There are a couple reasons the second season of Fast Forward couldn't had happened. For one thing Viral couldn't had returned in Master Fighter 2105, as she was still in Serling in Tempus Fugit and the last thing she remembered was Cody deleted her in The Day of Awakening, and Ch'rell couldn't had escaped from the ice asteroid as he already did in Turtles Forever.

I will admit that not everything from the planned second season of Fast Forward could have happened. But they still had off-screen adventures before the events of BttS happened.

and Ch'rell couldn't had escaped from the ice asteroid as he was still there in Turtles Forever.

That doesn't even make any sense to me...

[Xav]

So your saying sometime after Turtles Forever Ch'rell got sent back to the ice asteroid to escape again in the future?

[Royal Flush]

Wow, this timeline is great! I didn't read all of it, because I didn't finish the whole show.

[ToTheNines]

Thank you, friend. I highly recommend checking out the whole series though!

[Loudo]

I have been working on a timeline of my own (by the way, great job ToTheNines!).

The timeline was holding up nicely... until I reach the episode Timing Is Everything.

At the beginning of the episode, we see that in 2105 the Post Office is celebrating its 200th anniversary. Don and Splinter get zapped back in time to the day when they mutated.
The problem is, when Donatello sends the letter to Raph and Mikey from the past, the Post Office is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Meaning that Splinter and the Turtles mutated in 2005 and Things Change takes place in 2020.

And that's not all. Leo and Cody get zapped to the day when the Turtles first defeated the Shredder. Cody checks the date and his screen reads 1993.

I think that for my own sanity I'll pretend this episode never existed...

The year 1993 completely contradicts the season because it was established the turtles were zapped 99 years into the future. So let's say Cody's watch thing glitched up.

Ok so where did klunk go

[Teddygaming reviews]

I think the show starts round about steptember then when they go to Northampton. Then it goes on to 2004. Then you go pass season 2 then it hits season 3 then Christmas aliens. Then in 2005 you end season 3 and straight after season 4 happens and then leads straight on season 5. This ends somewhere at the beginning of the summer e.g steptember. then they get teleported 100 years into the future. They spend about a year and a few months. I would say ruffly 6 months. Then they go home to 2007. In the summer Casey and April get married. Then possibly about year less or more they then encounter the 80s turtles.

[Lazy_BerZerker]

During the Fast Forward episode "Race for Glory!" the Turtles meets a boy named Falcon who is presumably the same person Raph meets in the episode "Across the Universe".

Since Falcon is older in AtU than in FF's RfG, I think it makes sense to conclude that Raph has visited a time period past that of FF. Should this be part of the timeline too?

Also thanks for the awesome work you've done, really cool!

I think I heard somewhere Across The Universe takes place in 2125 so I think there is continuity. Also both Falcons were involved in racing.

[D-ray]

Bishop has been gifted of long life by aliens?
Didn't he create clones of himself in order to survive?
