H.A.V.O.C. is back, jack! And this time they have stolen what they need to create a sky platform.


Tropes

  • And I Must Scream: The Turtles manage to beat Synapse by broadcasting his frequency into space, forcing him to ride the radio waves forever.
  • Jerkass Ball: Leonardo, Donatello and Raphael try to bench Michelangelo after he accidentally sets off a rocket in their fight against H.A.V.O.C. at the start of the episode, spending the whole episode reminding him that he's a screwup.
  • Psycho Electro: Being an entity of pure energy, Synapse takes on the form of electricity, though he mostly uses it to possess machinery.
  • Put on a Bus: Burne and Vernon make their final appearance of the 1987 series in this episode.
  • Took a Level in Badass: The human mobster that the Turtles had beaten in "Get Shredder!" Here, he volunteers to be mutated by Titanus and turns into Synapse, a creature composed of pure energy.
