Which Foot Is Better: Real Or Robot?

Which type of Foot Soldiers do you like best?

I prefer the human kind. They're just more, pardon the pun, animated.

However there is a certain good feeling you get by blowing up a Foot Soldier.

Like Raph once said: "Clang? Did you say clang?!"

I say robot Foot Soldiers. With robot Foot, Leo and Raph can actually use their weapons to attack and just not block.

Yeah but only in the shows. I prefer living opponents in general.

I loved it that they were androids in the original show, but the funny thing is the Japanese Foot Clan was consisted of human beings.
If you remember Splinter's flashback of the TMNT's origin, they actually showed a group of Foot Soldiers cornering a man with an ice cream cone and they shouted "Stick em up!"

I like the two for different reasons. I like the mecha Foot because Leonardo and Raphael are "allowed" to stab them and slice them up; and even Donatello and Michaelangelo are allowed to smash them up.
I like the human Foot because they're REAL Ninja, and because they're better fighters than the mecha Foot (They're more clever, more skilled, they last longer and they give the turtles a much better fight than the mecha Foot).

I think I'll pick the human Foot. The mecha Foot came in as a real close second (It's just so damn satisfying to see Leo & Raph nail there opponents with there weapons!).

Real Human for Ninjas are a bit more realistic.

Robot Foot Ninjas are a bit Sci-fi like.

I'd perfer Real Foot Ninjas.

Robot is good for the reasons mentioned before

But I feel human ones are more convincing and better overall

It's hard for me to say which I like better....
Besides, with the Robot Foot Soldiers Donatello can tinker with them and program them do whatever he wants since they don't have human instincts or common sense or fear of the enemy as they only know how to fight. While if they were Human Foot Soldiers Donatello can't reprogram them but can give them amnesia with his bo staff and trigger that human instinct for them to run like heck!

Shredder can make dozens upon dozens of Robot Foot Soldiers to back him up and they won't speak against joining him since they were obviously not programmed that way. But getting more Human Foot Soldiers to join him would be harder because those people have the sense to not mess with the Turtles that the Robot Foot Soldiers lack.

I'd say a mix of human and robots(cyborgs). They can retain their human look while possibly still getting sliced up in the show. That's one thing I don't like about the new show. All those sharp weapons and almost no one ever gets cut. Hopefully they will come out with a more adult TMNT show in the future. I doubt it will happen but you never know.

Overall, it would be better if the show had both robot and human foot soldiers.

Spawn was a good show. If they made TMNT the same way it would be very interesting and probably a very good show.

I like both. But you have to admit, the human Foot only fight better cause the cartoon is made NOW. If this was 1992, they'd all be bumblinb idiots, and if the robot Foot were shown in this new show, they'd also kick ass.

Foot soldiers

I love the Foot Soldiers from the original annimated series. The original human ones in that were from Hamato Yoshi's Foot Clan that rebelled with Oroko Saki. Then once Saki met and joined forces with Krang is when he gained the technology to mass produce robot foot soldiers. The robot Foot were goofy yet deadly. Mass numbers of them made sense. Mass numbers of human Foot soldiers doesn't make as much sense considering they all have to be hired and trained. If some die or go AWOL, they cannot be replaces as easily. I only ever owned about ten or twelve issues of the Archie comic when I was a kid. What I remember from those is robot foot soldiers too.

The robot ones are my favorites.

Human.

I just really like the actual humans instead of the robot ones. I mean, the robot ones were ok... but, eh.

The human ones are so much better. So much more can be done with the aspect of them being human. Plus, I just like them tons more.

There are positive things about both Robot and real Foot Soldiers. The Robots are mindless and dull. But they can still be deadly. But they ain't as deadly as the Human Foot.

The Robots are useful because they are unlimted. Still I prefer the Human becaus ethey are more nefarious and deadly
