Why did they animate Wyrm only for a toy commercial?
Wyrm never appear in the OT but they animated his design for the Playmates toy ad:
 Why go through the trouble of creating an animated design for him if he wasn't going to appear? Do you think its possible some episode featuring Wyrm (and possibly Scumbug's first appearance), was in the cards but for some reason got canceled? |

He was probably overlooked unfortunately by the writers/staff. He looks like a good threat for the turtles that would have been a great character for a non-Shredder CBS episode. Those teeth look wretched and vile! I definately would have had him over one of those lame Mad Scientist episodes. That hammer really could have done some major damage to anyone!

I always figured he was in one of those 5 skipped production #s I conspiracy theorized about way back.

I remember that thread gobo mentions. I don't know though his character design in that commercial looks pretty umm cheap for lack of a better word while the others look like on the show so they probably only made him for the commercial to sell toys and playmates paid for it.
Regardless I consider those few seconds of Wyrm to be canon in the OT and the turtles did face him. |

My personal theory is that it was an episode that was partialy animated but ended up being scrapped.
I believe the same would be true of Scumbug, when he appeared in Night Of Rogues it was like he'd fought the T's before. I bet he was supposed to appear in an ep that was scrapped but David Wise thought it was made. |

What a missed opportunity that was for them not to use scale tail.
