UliteOne · 03-18-2004, 10:37 AM

Hi every body this may seem useless but i just wanna check i wasnt dreaming i remember a couple a day a go that i saw a power ranger episode with you geust the tmnts,does any one remember this episode of power rangers its not the orignal power rangers i am not sure which series it was but the tmnts were in it.

*ZariusTwo* · 03-18-2004, 12:04 PM

Yes, this is the infamous "Shell Shock" episode, it aired as part of Power Ranger's excellent sixth season, "Power Rangers In Space" and was an attempt at increasing the ratings of arguably the worst Turtle series ever, Next Mutation.

It did'nt work, and the episode was a nightmare.

UliteOne · 03-18-2004, 12:09 PM

Ah yes next mutation was the live action if i beleive so fox kids ova here or showing one of there movies i think which unchain my heart or sum stuff

Orochi Chimera · 03-18-2004, 02:06 PM

I haven't seen it myself but it has been talked about here in the TTF.

**azure turtle** · 03-18-2004, 03:36 PM

Yeah, the famous (or is it infamous?) TMNT/PR crossover. It started in the PR episode, "Save Our Ship" and was continued in the next episode, "Shell Shocked." The crossover had a few funny moments, but it didn't really amount to much. I enjoyed watching the TMNT team up with the baddies and take on the Rangers, though.

They were bad/evil in that episode? Or they fought them for other reasons?

Actually, from what I recall, this PR/TMNT cross-over was an attempt to get fans back into Power Rangers, as NT:TNM was scoring higher ratings than PR. There was also this comic,

it was quite good, the PR got their arses kicked by the turtles

Content wise the crossover was a huge disappointment. If you'd watched the preview shown at the end of Ep3 of Power Rangers In Space it implied the Power Rangers were actually going to FIGHT the Ninja Turtles. Now that would've been cool. Instead, in one of the most ridiculous moments in PR, the rangers run away from the Turtles and get captured. I still don't understand why they didn't morph and fight them.
The episode also suffered from the Venus ruining the whole thing as usual.

Even though the episode wasn't that great, I liked what the team up represented - a crossover between my two favourite kids shows.
I mean just look at that comic posted above, they are just some cheap Power Ranger spoofs. In the Shell Shocked you were getting the 'real' Power Rangers fighting the 'real' Ninja Turtles. Not the Mighty Powerful Mega Rangers or whatever they are supposed to be in that comic. It would be just as bad having Power Rangers vs Teenage Radioactive Karate Reptiles. But, no Saban gave us Power Rangers meet the Ninja Turtles and however useless the episode was I'm glad the actual crossover happened.

*Raven* · 03-18-2004, 04:46 PM

oh man im still trying to forget that crossover

but the comic that jarrah posted was pretty good.

Yeah, I like the bit where Leo cut off one of the Rangers' pants

*Drtooth* · 03-18-2004, 07:02 PM

You know... I saw that in the store when I was on an Anti-Power Ranger phase (I could care less, I still don't like them... sorry guys) but I STUPIDLY never bought it! I bet I can find it somewhere....

*Whitewolf89* · 03-18-2004, 07:13 PM

I still hate the Power Rangers with a passion, but I would love to have those two eps of it, just because the Turtles (Next Mutation, or not) were in them. Also, I gotta get my mitts on those comics. I was (and still am!) very religious about collecting my Turtles comics, but I must've missed this series. Power Rangers or no in it, I can tolerate them for the sake of our Turtles.

And the incarnation of the Power Rangers that they were in was "Power Rangers in Space", you say? Geez, that's been AGES ago! Anybody know where I can find those two eps of it, at least?

If memory serves me, I believe the TMNT were brainwashed.

Oh yeah, you gotta see that!

Orochi Chimera · 03-18-2004, 08:42 PM

I didn't know that there was a comic crossover as well. Interesting.

No, the "Rangers" you see on that cover are PARODIES, Power Rangers and TMNT were both huge during the 90's, so the oppertunity to make fun of that was siezed upon by Archie, who could'nt secure the rights to use the Rangers from Saban.

Nope. I've only ever seen it on TV. They still show it once in a blue moon, and when it does come on, someone here usually gives a heads up.

Orochi Chimera · 03-19-2004, 10:55 AM

Thanks for the info ZariusTwo.

*Whitewolf89* · 03-20-2004, 09:13 PM

Yeah, I'll keep an eye out for that heads-up. I really would like to see those two eps, maybe tape them, even.

Then TMNT were brainwashed, you say? Probably into thinking that the PR were the bad guys. (Well, at least something good came out of it, if they kicked the PR's butts! (Can you guys tell that I don't like the PRs very much??))

*Kid Icarus* · 03-20-2004, 09:41 PM

I lost intrest in PR after the Turbo movie came out. still got a few of the toys after that though, mostly 'cause the Zords were fun. In my mind the first season is still the best, but the second wasn't bad either.
And when TNM came out, I got turned off of TMNT for a while.

Ya know, I bet a lot of the people who dislike PR are just bitter that when it came out TMNT all but dissappeared from the mainstream.
Call it a hunch if you will.

Yes, seeing as you've posted it already in the thread, and many many others. I think we get it by now
