If Krang and Shredder fought together.

Do you think they would have actually defeated the Turtles if they fought them at the same time. I can't remember a time where they both fought the Turtles together. It was usually one or the other. In fact I think in Night of the Rogues, Krang should have joined in the fight with his robot body. Krang rarely fought and it would have been cool to see him and the Shredder fight the others.

Shredder and Krang fought together against the Turtles briefly in a few episodes like "Super Irma" and "Take Me to your Leader". Their team ups only happened rarely over the course of the series. I don't know if they would have been able to defeat the Turtles if they teamed up more often. Krang's android body was taken out easily in a lot of episodes.

They have fought together against the brothers a few times and as Wesley said they are extremely rare to encounter. Some are in the later seasons of the show though, so you'd have to rewatch the series to find out.

With that said, there should have been more with Shred-head and Krang teaming up, those fights are near classic to catch. Perhaps one fight in the video games could have been a double battle on the 16-bit consoles like Dracula and Death in Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin.

Then again, I'm getting off topic. This should have been done at least once per season to make the fights special. A total of 8 to 9 fights could have happened, but they'd be highlights.

Krang was more of the evil genius of the group. He came up with most of the schemes, which ironically Shredder took most of the credit for.

It would have been great if there had been more fights with Shredder and Krang. I loved Krang and Shredder fighting Leo and Raph in the Technodrome near the end of "Super Irma" when I was a kid and wished that the fighting had lasted a bit longer.

Sometimes evil geniuses step in to fight. Even if Krang was the true main villain instead of Shredder and Dregg, I still feel he should have been in a few extra fights. He can be vicious

Exactly, only about three fights happened. Perhaps each season could have had the fight with Shredder and Krang together, it would be a seasonal treat for viewers. I most certainly would have liked it.

I really wanted them to fight together more often. Krang himself rarely fought and it's even more rare for him to fight with Shredder. I just found it weird the two main villains of the show rarely fought the Turtles in direct combat.

I actually would have wanted to see that in the games. Shredder was usually the final boss, which also makes me think that some people think Shredder is the true main villain, but there were a few games where Krang was the final boss instead of being the second-to-last boss. That would be cool if you could fight both Shredder and Krang together. They were the main villains of the show after all.

Play a few MUGEN games with some buddies and pick out both Krang and Shredder as playable MUGEN fighters. Have fun with playing against those two, or playing against the other players as those two.

Wow. The gameplay looks awesome in that video. It's a pity that the tmnt games don't have those options. I prefer playing games on consoles, though.

Ah yeah, I forgot that someone put Shredder and Krang into Mugen. I've always liked it and I guess for now this is the only way to fight both of them at the same time in video games. I always did find it weird that Shredder was usually the final boss in games. Although there were a few games where Krang was the final boss it wasn't as common as Shredder being the final boss.

I can't say I've tried Shredder or Krang in Mugen yet. I need to download Mugen again. Thanks for sharing!

It's a game engine really. It's a fighting game engine that allows you to upload your own stages, characters, music, ect to make the kind of fighting game you'd like. There's thousands upon thousands of characters out there to download. It's pretty fun and I played it a lot.
