He did show up in the Mirage comics too.

That's great research. But when does the TMNT get vehicles? I want the Raphael motorcycle streak to continue.

Do you think we'll get a Christmas episode? That would be awesome! "Michelangelo's Christmas rescue" from the 2K3 is one of my favorites!

Yes he did but only in 3 issues. The writers of mirrage comics said that they wanted to have Hun in Mirrage comics because they thought that he was an awesome vilian that will fit the Mirrage universe. It is still possible that we will see Hun in both IDW and Nickelodeon tmnt because he is not an excuslive 4kids character any more.

I hope Leatherhead's ep is early on. Also do we know when Rat King and General Traag will appear?

No,but one would assume if we already have seen production art it would be late season 1. Casey Jones confirmed for season 2 we have not but those two we have which leads me to believe that Rat King and General Tragg will appear in the 15 episodes we have not seen inofrmation out for at this time.

I guess I got spoiled with that.

Season 1: 2012-13

Raphael must learn to control his rage and endure insults in order to help the others retrieve the video before it falls into the wrong hands.

After April receives a warning from her imprisoned father, she and the Turtles embark on a mission to save him and stop The Kraang from detonating a mutagen bomb in the city.

10
"Mojo Rising"

Jeremy Shipp

December 1, 2012

The Turtles must defend their home in the sewers when Bradford tries to destroy it with a dangerous chemical.

11
"Mouserthon"

Kenny Byerly

December 8, 2012

When simultaneous threats from the Purple Dragons and Baxter Stockman’s mechanical Mousers force the Turtles to split into two groups, Donnie & Mikey must prove that their “B Team” is just as valuable as Leo & Raph’s “A Team.”

Funny thing is that info was wrong about the 5th episode. April was not even in the episode much less mentioned. I feel that it is kinda weird that the turtles don't seem to be trying hard in getting info or trying to search for April's father. I know that Donnie mentioned he got intel from April in episode 3 but it still seems rather lacking in there attempts to rescue him.

[MikeandRaph87]

I agree it is a plot hole,but it will be patched up in the 9th episode when he is able to send a message to April and it seems the turtles meet Shredder for the first time in that episode. As for the summaries of the episodes. Its what Ii get off of tv.com and wikipedia.org, mainly the former. I plan on editing the "tentative" summary after the episodes air.

Please,everyone PM to help me add to the first post with episode titles, episode writers,and notes about the episodes i. e. the Baxter debut being the first footage shown and the first Shredder encounter sharing the episode title of the second episode of the orginial cartoon and other notes like that to add.

[CyberCubed]

From the sounds of those summaries it seems like Chris Bradford and Xever are actually staying human in their second appearances as well.

I thought they would be mutated as quickly as possible but that doesn't seem to be the case.

My guess is the 9th episode,"Enter Shredder" would debut their mutant forms. Unlike the '87 cartoon its giving the two of them time to be built up pre-mutation first to make thme more credible even if a mutt dog and tuna are much less threatening than a warthog and rhino. Usually I would perfer the mutant form but in Chris Bradford's case it feels like it owuld lessen his threat as a world renowned marital artist that has a secret bad edge.

[NinjaMan]

I too would love a Christmas episode. Especially with how well the chemistry is between these 4.

[ToTheNines]

According to Zap2it the 3 episodes after "Never Say Xever" have been renamed.

http://tvlistings.zap2it.com/tv/teen...323?aid=zap2it

Enter Shredder is now called "The Gauntlet", Mojo Rising is now called "Panic in the Sewers" and Mouserthon is now called "Mousers Attack!".

Awww, 'Enter Shredder' sounded SO much better! Why did they change the titles?

[ToTheNines]

Judging by the description, it has nothing to do with The Shredder anyways.

[MikeandRaph87]

I saw the title changes on wiki yesterday,but being wikipedia I need not know how reliable.Thanks for the second source confirmation,TTN. I will update it on the first post momentarily.

[NinjaMan]

So Shredder probably isn't show up till the middle of season 1 maybe?

The episode guide available is sketchy and can only really be filled in AFTER it airs. I though episode #9 was going be his intial confrontation with the TMNT.Now? Let's wait and see what happens.Hope to dig up info on the season beyond #11 ASAP.

[MikeandRaph87]

Has anyone found any information on episdoe 12-26? I am still come up dry on my searches beyond the mouser episode(#11). I expected by now we would have information on the full season. I guess I got spoiled by the episode guide season preview on ninjaturtles.com last time around.
