The Turtle Blimp

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan · 09-18-2002, 05:41 AM

Don't ask me where I think these things up, okay? They just pop into my head before I have a chance to stop them.

Where do you think the Turtles stored their turtle blimp when it wasn't in use? Of course, there is no right or wrong answer, since we'll never "really" know. But I just thought it might be fun to come up with ideas.

Did the Turtles have to rent out a warehouse? Did they have to inflate the blimp every time they had to use it, and did they deflate it every time they were done with it? Maybe they kept it in a Turtle Garage.

Maybe they kept it in baxter's apartment

maybe they threw a big tarp over it and stored it in a dump. that's what i would do. of course, blimps aren't exactly my style...

To my knowledge, they'd usually just leave it in certain places, such as in April's Fool when they find the turtle blimp on the rooftop and Donatello says he stashed it there.

Not too far-fetched. After all, it looks like April was living there for at least a couple of days (after her apartment was destroyed in "A Thing About Rats"; we see our heroes watching TV in Baxter's place at the beginning of "The Shredder Is Splintered.")

Of course, according to the Playmates Toys line, Ace Duck actually was in charge of the blimp...

Ace Duck looked over the Turtle blimp?

Yeah, that makes a whole lot of sense, considering he was only in one episode! And it was a one-second cameo appearance at that.

You know, that is interesting how the Turtles are watching TV from Baxter's apartment in "Shredder & Splintered." I don't know how many times I've seen that episode, and it never dawned on me until now that they were watching TV in his apartment. Makes sense, since April's apartment was destroyed by mousers.

Good observation, too, that perhaps the turtle blimp was just always stashed in Baxter's apartment. Wouldn't it be funny if every time the Turtles went to get it, that same cleaning lady from "Shredder & Splintered" still works there and bugs the heck out of them?

Yeah that was just an idea but it was pretty much abandoned so maybe turtles really used it... Ace duck in charge of turtle blimp?

LOL

*snicker*
Oh that Ace Duck... Quite talented, isn't he?

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan · 09-20-2002, 05:48 AM

Who was Ace Duck, anyway? Did Playmates make a toy because of his one-time appearance on the TV show, or was he featured in any of the comic books?

"Uh, I don't know who he is. But he makes Shredder look like a pussy-cat!" - Raphael, from "Get Shredder!"

Tinselcat · 09-20-2002, 10:01 AM

what'sa Ace Duck?

**Kali** · 09-20-2002, 10:12 AM

A humaniod duck. He was featured for like five seconds on the cartoon, as a TV show, and they made a figure based on that. But he did have a part in the Archie series as a Wrestler, but that character was vastly different from the figure, so I'm not sure if that counts.

**azure turtle** · 09-20-2002, 01:24 PM

Ace Duck is the greatest duck hero ever!!! He should've had his own animated series. Errr... Sorry, big Ace Duck fan here.

**Machias Banshee** · 09-20-2002, 01:27 PM

Kinda like a juiced up Howard the Duck, isnt he?

**azure turtle** · 09-20-2002, 01:32 PM

He is far superior to Howard the Duck.

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan · 09-20-2002, 04:22 PM

What's the bio behind Ace Duck? Was he a mutant? Was he from another planet? All I know is that he was some kind of wrestler and that he was in charge of the Turtle blimp . . .

"A good reporter's not supposed to get involved with the story!" - Vernon, from "Get Shredder!"

**azure turtle** · 09-21-2002, 01:34 AM

Yes!! But he's full of mystery! No one knows why he packs heat, carries egg grenades, or wears that little green hat. No one even knows how he became IGW champion! He's oozing with greatness, I tell ya. That's how he accomplished it all.

Hmm... This gives me a fanfic idea...

**Karpo_007** · 09-21-2002, 10:49 AM

Well he is in few issues of archie. But he looks nothing like the toy ace duck...

*Nickokapo* · 09-21-2002, 11:21 AM

In my opinion...
...
the turtle bllimp was just a giant balloon with the turtles logo in it...they could've got a plane or a jet...something like that...but noooooo they had to get a blimp...

BLIMPS ARE BORING

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Yes, another mystery... It's really weird how minor characters like him jump around the TMNT timeline.

*pokes Nicko with a stick*
What on earth is that picture of?? Looks like something out of Sailor Moon...

*Nickokapo* · 09-21-2002, 11:41 AM
