** Donatello's gear (a taser bo staff, a drone) comes from the 2016 film ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesOutOfTheShadows''. His gear, but especially the wristbands with screens on them, also resemble what the Turtles wore in the ''Fast Forward'' retool of the 2003 cartoon.

2018, as the name suggests, it serves as something of a spiritual prequel to more "traditional" versions of the TMNT story, depicting the Turtles before they met their most famous villains or settled into their familiar dynamic; however, it shakes up the concept in other ways too, changing up the heroes' designs and [[WeaponOfChoice iconic weapons]] and adding more fantastical elements.

* LeaderWannabe: It's noted in Raphael's character bio that he's actually self-appointed himself as leader, and the motion comic shows off that he's still got a lot of his loner mentality from previous incarnations.
