Questions about the bonus episodes on the season 1 dvd

[Spitfire]

Okay why does Leo turn into a giant monster?
Who the heck is Carter?
Why does Carter turn into some weird looking yellow dude?
Oh and does anyone know of any plans to release the rest of the old school turtles series on DVD?

[KROW]

I don't know much about the storyline, but I have watched them many times and what I could gather was:

1. Leo turns into a giant monster due to Dregg messing with his DNA. Apparantly, the TMNT turned into monsters, not just Leo.

2. Carter is the toon version of Keno. He got mutated, too.

3. April focused entirely on reporting and tried not to get involved in the TMNT adventures but always got stuck in the middle somehow.

4. Carter's mutation origin is a mystery to me, as well. Most likely he was mutated by Dregg or by accident like the TMNT.

5. I think it's a safe bet that the next seasons will be released, based on the success of the new TMNT toon.

Alright thanks I removed the April question because I remembered she is in it. I was still wondering what was up with this Carter dude. Thats cool I guess I never really watched the last season of the old show I only saw a few episodes. I really only watched the ones where they fought shredder

[J Legault]

There's some stuff I still need to see in the Old series.

So far I seen Season 1 and 4 episodes of Season 10.

But hopefully the rest of the season will get DVD releases. So all the people like me who missed out on the old show and get the chance to see it.

I'm still a novice for the knowledge of the old show.

[KROW]

I don't remember much of the later episodes of the old toon, either.

[Spitfire]

They didnt even release the last season on VHS did they?

[KROW]

I don't recall. I doubt it.

[Spitfire]

Yeah heres the last VHS they released

Krang and Shredder steal a weapon from the warlike Glaxons. The Turtles must deal with both those baddies as well as the Glaxons, who put on cybersuits which give them incredible powers. Contains the episode "Cyber Turtles."
No VHS tapes with Dregg episodes on them

[KROW]

Ah, yes.

From what I can remember, Carter is a Martial Artist who Found out about the TMNT one day. He interfered in their battles with Lord Dregg's minions (helping the TMNT) but the TMNT didn't want his help and told him to go away. one day he mannaged to follow them home. The TMNT found out Carter was following them just when they arrived to the lair. They were ready to attack him but Splinter told them not to, and complimented carter on the fact that he was able to silently follow the TMNT to their home. When Splinter told him his real name to Carter, Carter's eyes widened (apperently he knows a bit about Hamato Yoshi). He asked Splinter to train him and Splinter agread (Splinter saw great potential in Carter).
Later on in the series, Carter was handeling a glass container that had mutagen in it (in Donatello's lab), and some acidently spilled on his hand.
He then got a call from the TMNT on his turtlecom to help them. Carter hopped on his bike and drove to the location. As he was driving there, his hand started to absorb the metal on the motorcycle handle and he started to become metalic.
Carter's mutation is unique in the fact that he can change back and forth from his human form to his metalic warrior form.

yeah...the mutagen was old.....from the tmnt's mutation.....so it caused his mutation to be unstable.....like theirs. That's why they mutated.....the mutations were unstable....at first the mutations were minor....they still had controll but got steadly worce....untill donny stoped them....with carters help. they were aired on TV but i guess the "never before aired" means never released on VHS by FHE

[Deathknight]

Carter was a teenage guy in college who studied martial arts. He taught himself and was very good but wanted to be the best so he decided to seak out Hamato Yoshi (Splinter) so he could be the best. He knew the turtles were taught ninjitsu by Hamato Yoshi so he studies all their battles and based on all the different places they appeared he pinpointed their lair. He finds the TMNT and Splinter agrees to teach him. He mutates because he was on his way to help the turtles and while handling the original mutagen that mutated the turtles (god knows how they somehow got this), a drop falls on his hand causing him to mutate into that creature when he is stressed. Since the turtles were mutated by that mutagen their mutations also become unstable and when they're under stress they mutate into huge mutants with special powers. The problem is they don't have good control over their thoughts when they mutate. They don't think clearly and fight like a team which is why they wish to stabilize their mutation. Then the answer to their problems come when one of Dregg's foes, Doomquest, shows up to steal the vortex crystal which Dregg somehow had and gave to the humans to say it would give them unlimited energy I believe. Doomquest as well as Dregg knows what the vortex crystal does and manages it to steal it. During the struggle the turtles try to get it back and of course mutate. During the battle, one of Doomquest's minions uses the vortex crystal's rays on the turtles which immediately turns them back to normal. This is when they know they must get that crystal to stabalize their mutations. However, they are unsuccessful. I don't remember exactly what happens to the crystal but Carter cuts it loose from one of Doomquest's machines and particles from it are on his knife which is something they could use to stabilize their mutations. They rig up a machine to do so and manage to stabilize, Raphael, Michaelangelo, and Donatello. However, Dregg had sent a micro bot to steal a piece of the crystal so he could duplicate it and before they can stabilize Leonardo's mutation the microbot steals a piece and their is a power drain which makes Leonardo's mutation even more unstable (this is why he mutates into that huge creature.) I hope this clears things up even though it is kind of long.

[KROW]

Yeah. Basically what I said: Carter was the toon version of Keno--only mutated.

[Deathknight]

Except that Keno really had no background that was ever explained. He was basically some random kid who wanted to help the turtles. Their was no explanation behind his martial arts skill or anything. Carter wanted to learn from Hamato Yoshi, not just work with the turtles like Keno did. Also Carter is much older. Keno seems to be in his late teens while Carters looks to be in his 20s.

[KROW]

Yes, I see that. But there is an uncanny resemblence between the two characters.

[Spitfire]

THANK YOU GUYS that clears up just about everything right there. Oh and just to tell you they never released any of the Dregg episodes on VHS or any of the last two season if Im correct I posted a pic of the last VHS they released.

[Kid Icarus]

I doubt the rest of the season's are gonna get put out... remember, the new DVD was only going to be the hour long "The Saga Begins", not the first season.

[KROW]

All we can do is hope......and petition.
