Warning ! This clause hold spoilers for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II # 5TheTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesarguably gain their ethnical relevancy thanks to the classical ‘ 90s animated serial publication , but that does n’t mean the original cartoon was null of break regarding the Ninja Turtles as characters – and the Turtles themselves are the first to admit that .

TheTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlescartoon laid the understructure for what devotee be intimate about theTMNTtoday . primitively , the Ninja Turtles only existed in the form of a gritty , opprobrious and blanched mirthful Holy Scripture where the Turtles were n’t afraid to shoot down their enemies , and they almost never discussed the importance of pizza pie wasting disease . Then , with the launching of the ‘ 90s sketch , each of theNinja Turtles got their own unambiguously colored mask , different personalities and roles on the squad , and they were allowed to eat all the pizza pie they wanted . But more than that , the Turtles also got a plethora of interesting weapons and vehicles . In the classic comic , the Turtles were basically fence by grime and sludge ( get along with the territory of living in the sewer ) and they were lucky to have gotten their hands on the ancient arm they were wielding . In the reanimate series , the Turtles had all the sappy cartoonish ‘ toy dog ’ they could ever desire , including one vehicle that they came to regret ever possess : the Turtle Blimp .

Even the TMNT Know the Turtle Blimp was a Complete Joke

InMighty Morphin Power Rangers / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II#5 by Ryan Parrott and Dan Mora , the Power Rangers and the Ninja Turtles have unite military force for the 2nd time in their combined story to take on the nefarious forces from their various universes . During the trend of this crossover , the TMNT and Power Rangers have efficaciously swapped powers . The Power Rangers were capable to commingle the energy within their morphers with the mutagen gook and mutate themselves intothe Mighty Mutant Power Rangers . Meanwhile , after travel to Dimension X , the Turtles uncovered that dimension ’s adaptation of the Morphin Grid , and they access it to become Dimension X Rangers ( or Rangers X ) . After that upgrade , the Turtle - Rangers returned to their home plate dimension to engagement alongside the Ranger - Mutants , and they did so with their newfangled teleporters . This new mode of transportation patently made Donatello feel nostalgic , and he asks his sidekick if he ’s the only one who overleap their previous Turtle Blimp . At which full point , Leonardo answered him , “ Yes . Yes , you are ” .

This is one of the most uproarious recall to the originalTMNTcartoon in late canon . The Turtle Blimp made its debut inTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesseason 1 , episode 5 “ Shredder & Splintered ” . While it was more than helpful within the linguistic context of the antic cartoon , it ’s a bit derisory when one actually end to consider it . In what genuine - world position would a Turtle Blimp be helpful , especially to a grouping with ‘ ninja ’ in their claim ? It ’s just the most gaudy and impractical vehicle in their armory . Even the Party Wagon – which is also incredibly flashy – wait on its purpose in a much more practical way , but the Turtle Blimp is simply ridiculous . manifestly , fans have remember this since the sausage first debuted , but what ’s interesting here is that the Turtles are cognisant of it as well .

By Leonardo separate Donatello that Donny is the only one who really misses the Turtle Blimp ( which was assuredly a jest on Donny ’s part to start out with , since he was compare the Turtle Blimp to instant interdimensional travel ) , he let in on behalf of the wholeTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesseries that the Turtle Blimp of the ‘ 90s cartoon was a huge ( hilarious ) mistake .
