Recap / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) S04E09 "Planet of the Turtles"

Go To

Krang and Shredder invade a dimension populated by sentient turtles to steal a Personal energy projector, accidentally bringing turtles from the other dimension with them.


Tropes:

  • Coincidental Broadcast: When the Technodrome starts picking up interdimensional tv channels, the signal from the turtle planet shows a commercial for a Personal energy projector that Krang could use to turn the Earth into a battery for the Technodrome.
  • Earth-Shattering Kaboom: While the Personal energy projector does what it was marketed to do, its power source is faulty, meaning once it reached full capacity, it would self-destruct with enough destructive output to destroy planets. Apparently it's happened to three planets already and it would have destroyed Earth if the turtles didn't intervene.
  • It Runs on Nonsensoleum: Dalton Dumpski's convertor can turn garbage (meaning anything) into engine fuel, being able to fuel a copter with it.
  • Weird Currency: The Planet of the Turtles use bugs for money.
  • World of Funny Animals: Donatello's interdimensional tuner can pick up television signals from other dimensions, one of sapient cows and another with turtles similar to the Ninja Turtles themselves.
