Baxter Stockman

~~Jarrah White~~ · 02-07-2004, 06:39 AM

Both cartoons of TMNT had very different versions of Baxter Stockman.

Old Toon: To start with the obvious, this Baxter is white rather than African-American in the comics, and is a blond geek looking for business. He builds a mouser robot but on one is interested in picking up his option, no one except The Shredder. After the mousers are defeated, Baxter is taken to a mental hospital where he becomes insane. The Shredder busts him out to help him try to defeat the turtles. When sent to Dimension X, Krang immediatly declears Baxter's execution. Baxter is put into a dDisintegrator Chamber, where he would have been killed had not a fly been in there with him. The two speicies are cross-mutated together, creating Baxter Stockman AKA The Fly.

New Toon: Obviously, here Baxter is no push over, and is no small timer either. Baxter founder and CEO of the Stocktronics corperation develops an army of mouser robots, presumibly for cleaning up the cities rat problem. When his lab assistant, April O'Neil learned too much, he programed the mousers to kill her. The mousers failed Shredder, so Baxter lost his left eye to Shredder. Shortly after The Foot had uncovered a Utrom android from the water, Baxter developed the Foot Tech Ninjas using the research he obtained studying a tiny sample from the android. The Tech Ninjas also failed, and Baxter lost to Shredder not only his left arm, but his ability to walk. Baxter managed to get on Shredder's good side by prsenting a 'fulse' report of the TMNT's death, and he recieved the Utrom body as reward. Studying the Utrom, Baxter gained enough research to transform himself into an gigantic cyborg.

Two different personalities, two different fates. Which one do you prefere?

cyborg. not that cheesy

~~Jarrah White~~ · 02-07-2004, 06:49 AM

I vote cyborg too.

*damnhooligan* · 02-07-2004, 06:53 AM

Blaxter. Definitely.

Demonfox38 · 02-07-2004, 06:55 AM

Gotta love 'dem Cyborgs.

*Taloniss* · 02-07-2004, 06:59 AM

Cyborg. Old Baxter got annoying after 2 episodes, especially his voice. It grated on my nerves.

*Anarky* · 02-07-2004, 07:12 AM

you should hear the old barxter in german. THAT was awful

*That Matt Guy* · 02-07-2004, 07:28 AM

I voted for the fly for reasons that will remain undisclosed.

*Coola Yagami* · 02-07-2004, 07:49 AM

Black Baxter's cooler. But as for fates go... Baxterfly got better luck. He could always find someway to turn back to a normal human someday... but the cyborg one is just a head in a spider robot... ack...

*Bry* · 02-07-2004, 08:08 AM

The original Baxter, easily.

The Fly was all in good fun, but ultimately he was more annoying than anything. Cyborg Baxter is the dangerous lunatic he was meant to be.

ORIGINAL CARTOON BASHING ALERT! ORIGINAL CARTOON BASHING ALERT!

IMO, the new Baxter's voice sounds like he's overdoing the part and sounds so fake and cheesy. While the older Baxter's voice may have sounded annoying and "grating", at least he didn't try to melodramatically claim that he was the greatest scientist in the world, nor did keep referring to himself egotistically in that "I, Baxter Stockman [blah blah blah]..." tone.

**Karpo_007** · 02-07-2004, 11:39 AM

Original Baxter is an ego maniac and toally insane, so the voice suits him perfectly.

The new Baxter's mighty ego is probably based on the character Adonis Cnut in the TV series, Believe Nothing.

*ZariusTwo* · 02-07-2004, 02:28 PM

Riiiiiiiiiiiight

...or he's probably based on the bat in "Ferngully: The Magical Rainforest"

New baxter, but I got annoyed with his constant "You made it all possible shredder" over and over in return to new york 3.

In the old toon, after being mutated Baxter wanted revenge on both the turtles and shredder. Sound firmiliar? I just wish they had kept it that way rather than having shredder sway him so easily.

But the real question is, what happened to Stocktronics now that the CEO is 90% spider. How does he give a press conference?

*Coola Yagami* · 02-07-2004, 03:33 PM

He probably has a fake human suit for speech purposes... and the spider suit for uhh... bad guy purposes...

As for Baxterfly, yeah, he always wanted payback on both Shredder and the TMNT, but most of the times Shredder would trick him into working for him again. Baxter turning Shredder into a lil fly was classic though. LOL The way the others were acting (Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady), you'd figure they'd leave him as a fly for quite a while before turning him back. LOL

*J Legault* · 02-07-2004, 04:28 PM

I vote for New Stockman. He's a mildmind scientist who denines revenge on Shredder and the Turtles. I seen to of gotten use to this Stockman than the other one. Don't remenber much about the Original.

02-07-2004, 04:29 PM

Never seen the Old one, so, New one it is!

I have a feeling Stocktronics got shut down after the police found out Baxter was responsible for the robberies.

I got into the habbit back in 1992 or 93' when I was little. I would like to thank my 2 year older cousin for getting me in the habbit. 2001 was when I revised my knowledge on TMNT. And today I'm a bigger fan than I was years ago. I have all 3 TMNT Movies, current Toon, and old school Toon on DVD.
