Where No Turtle Has Gone Before!

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

[CONTAINS SPOILERS]

The Ninja Turtles, Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Donatello and Raphael, discover a planet inhabited by turtles: Shellrelah. They're taken there by Kerma, a short turtle being. The turtles couldn't have picked a worse time to leave earth, for Shredder uses mutagen on a bull and a mole, transforming them into two more fearsome mutants: Groundchuck and Dirt Bag. He also builds a giant robot, Chrome Dome. Shredder even commissions dozens and dozens of Foot Soldiers to construct a mini-Technodrome. The turtles defeat evil on both worlds! I don't remember this special all that much. I know that fans of the cartoon show will love it. Groundchuck and Dirt Bag returned in another episode of the series, I can't remember which one, but they do get parts in the Turtles' video game: Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project. And the turtles returned to Shellrelah in an episode of the show, Return of the Turtleoid. So anyway, check out Planet of the Turtleoids! There's Leonardo the leader, Donatello the creative genius, Raphael the wise alleck, Michaelangelo the party dude,Shredder their enemy, Splinter their sensai, and April O'Neil their reporter friend. Even Krang, Rocksteady and Bebop are along for the ride.
