Hell yeah

I tried to find which TMP track it might be, but never really found one that sounded similar (any ideas?). It does sound very similar to that hockey one, though, and that would be a fun reference.

Even if it's not, thanks for pointing it out!

Not much of an Easter Egg, because most everyone knows, but the Anime show "Super Robo Mecha Force Five" is based off the Korean Anime show "Force Five"

Huh. I thought it was based off of Voltron. That looks more accurate, though.

The picture is right, but that 'bot was originally the Japanese robot Gaiking: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaiking

I can also see vague bits of UFO Robot Grendizer (http://www.maxtoons.com/grendizer.htm) and Mazinger Z (http://myanimelist.net/anime/2253/Mazinger_Z) in the robot's design.

Basically a whole mish-mash of Japanese robots from that era.

In The Kraang Conspiracy, on one of the computers (in the scene where the TMNT find the charging robot bodies), you can see a Kraang playing Galaga.

That's what I thought they were basing it on too. Voltron was like a knock off of the Transformers back in the 80's, during the same time the Ninja Turtles took off, so it would make sense for us old farts to get the reference.

Has no one caught the original movie poster in the background yet? huh...

No, but I'd love to see it! Do you maybe have a picture of it?

It's somewhere in the first 5 episodes, but only for a sec. you've got to look really carefully...

The "Force Five" poster is niiiiiiice

[Zog the Equalizer]

I can't recall which episode it was (the first one where Casey Jones is actually fighting crime) When Raph is on the roof his movements seemed like a shot for shot reference to him blowing of steam in the first movie. More of a reference than an Easter egg, but I thought it was cool.

This isn't really an easter egg per say...but in the series premiere, when they were waiting on the rooftop and Don was jump roping...I always thought that he was using...well, a rope. Upon closer inspection he's actually using Mike's kusarigama.

Neat find. Never noticed.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I wondered about that, too. Glad you caught that.

Last ep had a bunch of LOTR references...... bet Astin enjoyed doing this ep.

*looks*
Wait a minute....I don't see it.

It's not really an Easter Egg, but I did catch something in that Mutants and Mages ep. Yeah I know everyone knows it referenced LOTR, Dragon's Lair, the Hobbit, etc, but Raph had an interesting line. Mikey asked Raph if he wanted to use his ring. Raph said, "I don't do rings". It's ironic because Sean Astin voices him and he played Sam in the LotR series. I just thought it was funny.

Oh and in another ep, while searching for mutagen, not really an Easter Egg, but Raph said, "Your scanner is as useless as a trenchcoat on a turtle." It just makes me think of movie 1 and how Raph was the only one who wore a trench coat.

Oh yeah and in that ep where April became friends again with the turtles, I noticed something...but not really an Easter Egg. When the Footbots showed up at the ice rink, Casey asked April if she "owed them money or something". April in movie 1 asked something similar when approached by the Foot in the subway.
