* [[PreAssKickingOneLiner "My place is with]] ''[[PreAssKickingOneLiner my sons!"]]'' Cue instant, two fingered ownage of The Rat King.

* The Turtles minus Donatello taking on and soundly defeating Bradford and Xever

* Baxter Stockman [[WeHaveReserves had extra mousers.]]

* Splinter going PapaWolf and holding his own against Leatherhead after the latter accidentally goes into UnstoppableRage mode and threaten the Turtles.

* Leatherhead steps outside with the rampaging Kraang (who are unusually vicious this time), and thrashes the Kraang left and right.

* Donatello rescuing April from a helicopter in the second half of the series' premier.

* A seriously understated one comes from "Turtle Temper" where, at one point, Donnie and Mikey cooperate flawlessly to get rid of some Kraang-droids. It might not seem like anything special out of context, but the first episode goes out of its way to point out that, in this universe, the turtles haven't been trained to fight as a team. Prior to this, they'd all been getting in the others' way all over the place.

* The [[CurbStompBattle sewer showdown]] in "New Friend, Old Enemy." Seriously, all the Turtles (yes, even Mikey) have become a ''lot'' more competent with fighting as a unit.

* April successfully infiltrates a Kraang hideout and finds out their plans to dump mutagen in the city's water supply in "Metalhead". She almost gets caught by a Kraang droid, but she takes it out by bashing its head with a metal pipe, and knocking it out the window! Looks like she's well on her way to graduating from DistressedDamsel to ActionGirl.
* Don gets one in 'Metalhead' too, by defeating [[spoiler: Metalhead and the Kraang controlling it]] with an insult, fancy maneuvering, and a broken 'stick'.

* The epic rooftop smackdown from "Never Say Xever".

** Mikey beating Bradford with the very kata he taught him. It's always said that Mike has the most potential of all the turtles, but that scene really showed it. Sweep the leg!

** Don gets one in 'Metalhead' too, by defeating [[spoiler: Metalhead and the Kraang controlling it]] with an insult, fancy maneuvering, and a broken 'stick'.
*** The best part is that he does it ''still'' using his trademark genius, proving that not all science is lasers and robots, sometimes it's just levers and simple physics.

* Quite a few from "The Gauntlet":
** Kirby O'Neil [[YouShallNotPass holding off the Kraang with one of their own guns so the Turtles and April could escape.]] He takes out quite a few before he's recaptured.
** The Turtles taking down the Kraang with arrows.
** The Turtles minus Donatello taking on and soundly defeating Bradford and Xever
*** That's not to say that Donnie doesn't get a moment of his own-- once he's [[spoiler: deactivated the mutagen bomb]] he makes a wide loop, smacking Bradford around before teaming up with Raph against Xever.
** [[spoiler: The Shredder's fight with the Turtles. Notable moments include Donnie's bo staff breaking on his armor, throwing Raph into a nearby electric sign and cutting the chain on Mikey's weapon when he tries to capture him.]]

* Splinter going PapaWolf and holding his own against Leatherhead after the latter accidentally goes into UnstoppableRage mode and threaten the Turtles.

* Splinter going [[PapaWolf Papa Rat]] on Leatherhead.

* Mikey taking out a tanker truck full of dangerous acid with a ''water balloon''.

** [[spoiler: The Shredder's fight with the Turtles. CurbstompBattle dosen't even begin to describe it. ]]

* The epic rooftop smackdown from "Never Say Xever"

* Donnie mopping the floor with Falco, after finding a way around his mind reading powers.
