Shredder is one of the few characters who has looked good in almost every incarnation, even the new toon...but I like his Mirage look the best from this list.

You forgot movie!

Movie 2 Shredder is my favorite. His helmet is bad ass.

I really like Movie Shredder, but as of now, I love the 2k12 Shredder that Nickelodeon has created.

I'm with Spitfire (on "movie 2" Shredder), even if looking back, that old costume is a little on the sparkly side.

Mirage Shredder, particularly in the old days, looked kind of awkward and scrawny, as if he wore his blades to make up for his physical inferiority. Of course, we know he's a beast, but the way he was drawn at first certainly made it seem that way to me.

I notice that OP's Shredder pics all feature some cool pose, except for 2k3 Shredder, who sadly has a concept/reference picture amidst all the other, dynamic pieces of art.

*Slade* · 08-11-2012, 09:04 AM

I had to go with Mirage on this one.

It's art like this that makes me pine for a book based on the old 'toon

*pannoni1* · 08-11-2012, 10:45 AM

Close call betwen 1987 and Mirage, but I'll pick with Mirage since his design close to the 1987 but actually is as dangerous and villainous as his style is shown.

*CyberCubed* · 08-11-2012, 10:46 AM

OT Shredder always reminded me of Magneto for some reason.

*Candy Kappa* · 08-11-2012, 11:01 AM

Mirage, it's simple, effective and I like the red

Maybe it was the "bucket" taunts and nicknames?

*TurtleTitan97* · 08-11-2012, 12:12 PM

I really like 2k3 Shredder's design.

LeoNerdo · 08-11-2012, 12:32 PM

The IDW Shredder is my current favorite in terms of looks. Really I like them all but the Nickelodeon Animated version. That one is the least appealing of all except for maybe this guy...

Gyt Kaliba · 08-11-2012, 12:35 PM

Just going off of looks alone, I've got to tip my hat to IDW's design for Shredder. There's just something more realistic about the design (be awful hard for a ninja to move speedily if they're just COVERED in armor), and the red on black looks badass.

Lance_Steele · 08-11-2012, 01:31 PM

I like 87 Shredder and all but mirage Shredder is way better IMO. Like someone said earlier he is that his design is more simple and effective. I also think he's more intimidating that way.

By far my favourite pic of him.

Btw I am surprised movie 2 Super Shredder is not on the list.

DarkLightDragon · 08-11-2012, 01:33 PM

^He probably would've been if there was an actual clear picture of him.

*AT-Man* · 08-11-2012, 01:45 PM

I went with the original, but all of them are almost equally great, which I'm glad to say of the Nick Shredder too. He already looks like a good reason to watch the new series.

*Icebot* · 08-12-2012, 05:53 PM

My favorite is the 2003 Shredder, I think he looks cooler than all the others.
