YMMV / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) S03E37 "The Turtle Terminator"

• Harsher in Hindsight: The plot of the episode is the Krang kidnaps and replaces Irma, the robot acting as an advanced Killer Robot to destroy the turtles. In the 2012 series, the 2012 iteration of Irma is revealed to be Kraang Subprime (the '87 Krang's cousin from Dimension X) using an advanced droid-body made to look like an average human teen. The Turtle Terminator's default design even kind of looks like the average Kraang droid from the 2012 show.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In this episode, The Turtles manage to find Irma and she winds up blowing their cover and alerting Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady of their presence due to a mix of clumsiness and having no indoor voice. Wouldn't you know it, the turtles wind up doing the same thing when their 2012-counterparts try rescuing them from Shredder and Krang in the crossover episode "Wanted: Bebop and Rocksteady".
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Krang and Shredder create a heavily armed Killer Robot made in the likeness of one of turtle's friends, and what do they do with it? They send it on a single-minded mission to shoot them on sight. Even in its brief moments where it acts like a person, like doing Irma's job at Channel 6, it acts nothing like her and it gets everyone's attention. What's the point of creating a Killer Robot that can disguise itself if it behaves as conspicuously as possible? They could have had the robotic Irma pretend to be the real one and used it to gather intel from the Turtles themselves, like any weaknesses the turtles have or the location of their lair. They could have even given it a few moments where it genuinely believed that it was Irma and suffered conflicts in its programming when its masters demand it behaved in ways Irma wouldn't, kind of like what happened to Metalhead.
