19	[[folder:General]]
20	!!Tropes that apply to all four turtles:
21
22	-->'''Rebecca Vincent:''' What are you?\
23	'''Raphael:''' Let's just say we're four brothers who hate bullies -- and love this city!
24
25	* AdaptationalBadass: While the Turtles have never really been wimps, this movie turns them all into hulking monster trucks with SuperStrength and [[SuperToughness heavy armor]], a very noticeable contrast to their usual portrayal as [[BadassNormal unpowered ninja]]. Noticeably, Raphael is [[TheBigGuy much, much burlier]] than previous versions.
26	* AdaptationalJerkass: In most versions, the Turtles meet April while rescuing her from some threat, like Mousers, the Foot clan or street gang members, and accidentally reveal their presence to her in the process. Here, April herself seeks them out and they have no problem threatening her in case she tries to go after them again. To be fair, she was planning on exposing them for the sake of her career. If she'd met them the same way other incarnations of the character do, things would have gone very differently.
27	* AdaptationalUgliness: While they are occasionally described as freaks by some characters in the comics and most incarnations due to being mutant anthropomorphic turtles, the Turtles usually tend to look just fine and/or adorable. In this film series, the Turtles look very hideous, bizarre, and somewhat frightening, which therefore makes them qualify as mutant freaks.
28	%% * BashBrothers: As per tradition. Especially evoked by the "Buck Buck" manoeuver they pull towards the end.
29	* CoolCar: The one and only Turtle Van appears at the end of the film. It's big brother, a [[PimpedOutCar pimped-out garbage truck]], has ''robot nun chuck swinging arms'' and shoots out manhole covers.
30	%% * DeadpanSnarker: They all get their moments of snark-dishing. Leo and Raph especially.
31	* DistinctiveAppearances[=/=]DivergentCharacterEvolution: The individual turtles are much more visually diverse than in any past incarnation. It goes beyond [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience color-coding their masks]] and weapons, to major clothing differences and physical stature. Though this was somewhat dialed back for [[CostumeEvolution more streamlined designs]] in ''Out of the Shadows'', probably after fans complained they looked too "busy".
32	** Raphael is incredibly muscular compared to the other three. On top of that, his mask is a bandanna fashioned like a do-rag, and he's covered in training bandages. He also has a character scarred onto his right shoulder.
33	** Leonardo sports shoulder guards and other samurai-style armor garments. He's also got the most "average" build of the four.
34	** Donatello is decked from head to shell in various gadgets, including goggles mounted on his forehead and stereotypically taped NerdGlasses. He's also the tallest and has the leanest (but still muscular) build of the four brothers.
35	** Michelangelo has a puka shell necklace, sneakers, and a hoodie around his waist. Even when he's serious, his general facial composition still makes him look dopey. He's also the shortest and roundest turtle.
36	* FastballSpecial: Donatello uses his staff to throw Raphael into a Humvee. [[SuperToughness The Humvee loses.]]
37	* GogglesDoNothing: Both Raph and Mikey have sunglasses as part of their clothing, but both never use them. Mikey's don't even seem to be the same size as his face! Subverted with Donatello's high-tech scanners.
38	* GoodIsNotNice: Leo and Raph have no problem threatening April - an unarmed woman - after she takes their picture.
39	* HappilyAdopted: All four of them love Splinter as if he were their biological father; Leo even outright addresses him as "Dad" at one point.
40	* HighlyVisibleNinja: The brothers may have ninja training, but they're still huge green turtles in brightly-colored masks.
41	-->'''Raphael:''' Like shadows in the night! [[TemptingFate Completely unseen!]]\
42	''[April takes a picture, flash and all]''\
43	'''Michelangelo:''' ''[whispering]'' What was that?!\
44	'''Donatello:''' [[CaptainObvious It's a camera flash!]]
45	* ImmuneToBullets: The Turtles' shells are bulletproof, which they are quite delighted to learn.
46	* KiddieKid: Although, they look or act a lot more like mature adults, there are a few times when the turtles really do act like teenagers, treating their own exploits like kids would. A particularly funny moment has the group in an elevator right before the climax and they all start beatboxing and using their weapons as instruments in turn, including [[NotSoStoic Raph and Leo]]. Another funny moment has Donatello wonder if his telescoping staff has the punch to flip a humvee, and as it does so [[BulletTime in slow motion]] the camera lingers on his glee-filled face.
47	* LightningBruiser: The greater size and weight these incarnations of the Turtles possess don't seem to do much in slowing down their traditionally acrobatic abilities. Special mention goes to Raphael, who has shoulders bigger than truck tires but is flipping and ninja-ing with the best of them, and even manages to sneak into the back of the Fenwick Express without April or Vernon hearing him.
48	* MadeOfIron: The Turtles are shown to shrug off such things as getting shot with tranquilizers and repeatedly zapped with high-powered stun weapons. Bullets don't even faze them, to their delight. At one point, Raphael [[spoiler: gets his shell cracked when Shredder stomps on him.]] His response?
49	-->'''Raphael:''' Just tape it up. [[note]]If you pay attention, you'll notice [[spoiler:his shell is heavily duct-taped,]] indicating he's done this before.[[/note]]
50	* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: The film's tagline is: "[[TheStarscream The Leader]]. [[TheSmartGuy The Brains]]. [[LeaderWannabe The]] [[ButtMonkey Attitude]]. And [[TheGenericGuy Mikey]]."
51	* RummageSaleReject: Those new outfits are not ''haute couture,'' to put it mildly. Donatello has a computer's cooling fan stuck to the back of his shell, and Michelangelo has a hoodie tied around his waist as a belt, among other things. Flashbacks show that the turtles dressed that way since they were children, probably from what they could scavenge from the sewers.
52	* SuperStrength: The Turtles have this here. As stated under FastballSpecial above, Donnie is able to throw Raph with enough force to bash in a Humvee and send it rolling down a hill, and flip another truck over with only his bo staff himself. Earlier, when hyped up on adrenaline, they all break through their unbreakable glass cages.
53	* UnskilledButStrong: All their ninjutsu knowledge [[ButIReadABookAboutIt comes from a book they found]], and they generally get by taking full advantage of their SuperStrength and SuperToughness. This comes to bite them when they take on the Shredder, who's not only better trained and more experienced, but has PoweredArmor that makes him their physical equal.
54	* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: One has to wonder how mutated lab animals who spent years underground managed to find so many ninja weapons, not to mention the equipment Donatello has, including but not limited to: retinal scanners, thermal goggles, and a wrist-mounted computer with a holographic display.

59	->'''Portrayed by:''' Pete Ploszek (motion capture/Voice for second), Creator/JohnnyKnoxville (Voice for first movie)
60
61	-->''"We're turtles, whether you like it or not."''
62
63	* BadassArmfold: Folds his arms a lot.
64	* BigBrotherInstinct: While not directly called the big brother [[AllThereInTheScript (supplementary material refers to him as such)]], he is shown to be very protective of his brothers, especially Mikey, who he does call "little brother."
65	* {{Determinator}}: When told that there is a less than 1% chance he and his brothers can hold and prevent a spire full of poison from falling to the ground, he only responds with an [[ILikeThoseOdds "I'll take it."]] Even when he starts getting pummeled by Shredder, he still ''refuses'' to let go of the spire or allow any of his brothers to let go to help him.
66	* DualWielding: Wields twin katanas, as per usual.
67	* DudeWheresMyRespect: It's clear that Raph doesn't respect Leo's leadership at first, but it's also clear that Leo is in charge because no one is able to keep the team together like he can. Raph eventually realizes that following Leo's orders is the only way for them to win.
68	* EmotionsVsStoicism: He has trouble considering others' feelings (which his brothers call him out for) and Splinter encourages him to listen to his own more, but he also believes acting on emotion can lead to rash decisions, so he fights between the two.
69	* GuiltComplex: Like most of his incarnations, he has a tendency to blame himself a lot. In the second movie, he places the responsibility for Shredder's escape from prison solely on his shoulders, despite his brothers also being with him at the time.
70	* KatanasAreJustBetter: A pair of them, slung over his back, are his weapons of choice.
71	* TheLeader: Typically the voice of reason in the group, reveals that he feels responsible for keeping his brothers in line and out of trouble in the second film.
72	* NervesOfSteel: He's the best at keeping his head cool in the middle of battle, showing why he's the leader.
73	* NotSoAboveItAll: While he is a pretty serious character, he often find himself going along with his brothers' antics. The elevator scene is a good example. Also, when Raphael and Michelangelo sucker Casey into attacking Splinter, resulting in him getting floored, he was initially warning them against it, but couldn't help but laugh in the end.
74	* OnlySaneMan: He's the first one to put his foot down when his brothers get too distracted, making sure they focus on what's important at the moment.
75	* TheStrategist: As the leader, he's the one giving the orders. Donnie even mentions how he knows a lot about strategy.
76	* YourMom: In one of the funniest moments in the movie, this is basically Leo's answer when Raph asks who put him in charge.

81	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/AlanRitchson
82
83	-->''"Raphael's like a cuddly teddy bear... if big cuddly teddy bears were incredibly violent."''
84	-->--'''Michelangelo'''
85
86	* BadassArmfold: Folds his arms a lot.
87	* BaritoneOfStrength: He often growls when he speaks. As Michaelangelo jokes, "hey, look, he's doing his Batman voice!".
88	* TheBigGuy: While all four of the turtles have very muscular builds and this version of them is much larger than their traditional appearances, Raphael has a noticeably bulkier build compared to his three brothers.
89	* BrooklynRage: Raphael, as usual, has the strongest New York accent and the shortest temper.
90	* DisneyDeath: He's assumed dead by the Foot Clan when his brothers are captured. He was just knocked out.
91	* DualWielding: Raphael wields twin sai.
92	* TheLancer: As usual, Raph serves this role to Leo.
93	* OralFixation: Has a toothpick in his mouth in several scenes.
94	* PreAssKickingOneLiner: In the sequel when the Turtles get into the Foot cargo plane and are confronted by Foot Ninja.
95	--> '''Raphael:''' The good news is, you're wearing chutes! The bad news is...
96	--> ''(all the Foot Ninja are easily thrown out of the plane)''
97	* SandInMyEyes: As the Turtles [[spoiler:are falling to their apparent doom]], Raphael gives a heartfelt confession only to be stopped [[spoiler:by Donny informing him they've landed safely]]. Then the following takes place:
98	-->'''Michelangelo:''' Raph, are you crying?\
99	'''Raphael:''' Nah, ding-dong... ''[sniffles]'' It's just a little dusty out here.
100	* StealthHiBye: Manages to slip into Vernon's van without Vernon noticing until he reveals himself.
101	* ThereWasADoor: When they reach the Sacks estate, he elects to simply tear a hole in the side of Vernon's van and jump out.
102	* TookALevelInKindness: He's a lot less aggressive in the second film than the first.
103	* VitriolicBestBuds: Raphael is constantly at odds with Leonardo, hates being told what to do, and mentions that he's leaving the group the first chance he gets. However at the end, he defers to Leo's leadership and tells the others to do the same, as well as confessing [[spoiler:that he threatens to leave because he's really just scared that he's not as good as them, and he only says that to make them bond harder when it feels like things are driving them apart.]]
104	* WouldHitAGirl: While the attacks aren't like full-on punches to the face or anything, [[spoiler: Raphael does slam Karai into a wall in their first encounter, and is the one that takes out the jeep she's in; it's questionable whether she survives the attack or not.]]

108	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oots_uk_poster_04.jpg]]
109	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/JeremyHoward
110
111	--> ''"Allow me to be the bad-ass for once."''
112	* BigLittleBrother: Standing at a whopping 6'8", Donatello is far taller than his two older brothers. It's also worth noting that this is not only the tallest version of Donatello; this is also the tallest turtle in the entire franchise.
113	* TheEngineer: Build Mikey's rocket skateboard, the turtle van, and the Tartaruga Brothers turtle truck.
114	* GadgeteerGenius: The tech expert as always. He was even able to build advanced retina scanners into his goggles.
115	* GeekPhysiques: Donnie's noticeably taller than his three brothers (standing at least half a head taller than Raph or Leo) and also has a comparably thinner build compared to his brothers (although Donnie is still muscular).
116	* INeedToGoIronMyDog: When trying to avoid Splinter's punishment, he claims he forgot to soak his retainer. Splinter trips him up all the same.
117	* LovableCoward: He shows hints of this. He has an OhCrap reaction to the Foot soldiers having guns and he declares that he wants to be badass for once.
118	** Completely averted in the second movie, where he jumps out of a plane without a parachute with absolutely no hesitation or concern for personal safety.
119	* LudicrousPrecision: His various calculations and distances; most have the help of his wrist computer, but this is calculated in his head:
120	-->'''Donatello:''' If the spire falls and the toxin makes ground impact, it'll contaminate a 10-block radius!\
121	'''Leonardo:''' What are the odds of us stopping that from happening?\
122	'''Donatello:''' Uh, [[MillionToOneChance 0.00000000003%]]!\
123	'''Leonardo:''' [[ILikeThoseOdds I'll take it]]. [[{{Determinator}} Nobody moves, no matter what]].
124	* NerdGlasses: The smartest in the team and wears very thick-lensed glasses.
125	* TheSmartGuy: As usual.
126	* ShorterMeansSmarter: Averted--like always, Donnie's the most intelligent of the turtles, but in this version at least, he's also the tallest.
127	* TheSmartGuy: With HollywoodHacking skills and chemistry knowledge.
128	* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: A nerd in a Michael Bay movie? Of course he wears them!
129	* SpinToDeflectStuff: True to tradition, he does this with his signature Bo staff. [[RuleOfCool Against machine guns]]. At point-blank range. Justified in that the ammunition they are using are darts, which fly much more slowly.
130	* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He speaks like this, to the point where when Mikey tries to repeat exactly what he said and ends up translating in BuffySpeak.
131	* TelescopingStaff: His bo-staff is given this treatment here.

135	[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oots_uk_poster_02.jpg]]
136	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/NoelFisher
137
138	--> ''"I'm a triple threat: brains, brawn and a dazzling personality!"''
139
140	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: As is typical of most portrayals of Mikey, he's the most immature and spacey of his brothers, though no less dangerous.
141	* BadBadActing: When the Turtles get caught and floored by Splinter for sneaking out without his permission, Michelangelo attempted to pass himself off as sleepwalking and therefore not responsible for his actions. Naturally, this wasn't bought and he gets floored as well.
142	* BigEater: Is usually the one seen eating. He was seen eating at least four slices of pizza ''at the same time''.
143	* BreakTheCutie: In the sequel, Michelangelo was visibly the most hurt when he and the others' presence were exposed and labeled as monsters.
144	--> '''Michelangelo:''' We're not monsters...
145	* ChivalrousPervert: He has April on his mind in pretty much every non-action scene where they interact. He even apologizes for how creepy his "We will find you" line sounded when she first meets them.
146	* CloudCuckooLander: Is usually on a slightly different page than everyone else. For example, when told that Beebop and Rocksteady are several thousand miles in the air, he assumes they've achieved the power of flight before being told otherwise.
147	--> '''Mikey:''' You know what, good for them!
148	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When April sees the turtles for the first time, Michelangelo thinks she was more scared by their bandanna masks than the fact that she sees giant talking turtles standing before her.
149	* CoolBoard: He has a jet-propelled skateboard. In the sequel, it's shown to actually be able to fly and even hover.
150	* DualWielding: His two sets of nunchakus as per usual.
151	* IJustWantToBeNormal: ''Out of the Shadows'' shows Mikey's strong desire to be able to fit in with society.
152	* InterspeciesRomance: He has a crush on April O’Neil. However, it is not acknowledged by April. He tells his brothers that he has dibs on April after they meet her and he refers to her as his girlfriend when he realizes that she is the hogosha. He is always trying to flirt with her and be romantic, though her safety is his biggest concern when they are in danger. Though he still [[CloudCuckooLander makes silly jokes when he thinks her and one of his brothers are dead in the mountain fight scene]].
153	* JiveTurkey: He talks in a more "urban" slang style than the "surfer" slang he's usually been associated with. Interestingly enough, this is not only a modernization but a development gag from [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 the 87 show]] before it was ultimately decided they should be TotallyRadical.

164
165	--> ''"You will not lay a hand on my sons!"''
166
167	* TheAce: [[spoiler: Lacking the Hamato Yoshi aspect of the Turtle canon, Splinter, just by reading a book, learned how to be such a skilled ninjitsu combat master that he was not only able to train his sons into equally powerful warriors, but was able to be a virtual match for another warrior with potentially decades more combat experience ''wearing a suit of powered armor''.]]
168	* ButIReadABookAboutIt: Given that the [[spoiler: Hamato Yoshi backstory was adapted out for the Project Renaissance experiment, Splinter teaches ninjitsu from a book he found, instead of getting their Italian renaissance names from one.]] Shredder lampshades during his fight that it might not be the best way to learn. [[spoiler:Not that it stops him from actually putting up a good fight.]]
169	* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: The Turtles dread the ''ha-shi'', where they have to perform balancing acts while simultaneously doing another task for hours on end.
170	** Leonardo: [[spoiler: doing the splits on cinderblocks while balancing eggs on single chopsticks ''and'' on his head]].
171	** Raphael: [[spoiler: maintaining a crane stance on a tricycle while knitting]].
172	** Donatello: [[spoiler: standing on a balance board while keeping ping-pong balls in the air. He's starting to get nauseous]].
173	** Michelangelo: [[spoiler: doing a handstand on a swivel chair]]. He's actually starting to enjoy himself until Splinter [[spoiler: brings out a pizza]].
174	* CoolOldGuy: If his speech about how family is the strongest power of all is anything to go by. If not that, then going up against [[spoiler: the Shredder alone definitely makes him qualify, even if he does get beaten.]]
175	* GratuitousItalian: When using [[spoiler:a pizza]] to get answers out of the turtles, he first refers to it in Italian before using the English phrase.
176	* LightningBruiser: Shredder's PoweredArmor gives him enough physical strength to beat Raphael in a straight contest of strength, and he's noticeably faster than the Turtles. [[spoiler: Splinter not only proves to be as fast if not faster than the armor, but Shredder noticeably struggles to stop Splinter's sword from stabbing him at one point. This despite Splinter being roughly a quarter the size of the armor or the Turtles.]]
177	* OldMaster: He's pretty old by rat standards and is the most competent fighter in his family.
178	* PapaWolf: He is NOT going to let any harm come to the turtles or April. [[spoiler: It very nearly costs him his life.]]
179	* PrehensileTail: He's able to extend his tail and use it like another arm. Seeing him [[spoiler:fighting the Foot Clan with it]] is pretty neat.

186	'''Splinter:''' That's right. ''[points at April]'' And this ''is'' the hogosha.]]
187	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/MeganFox
188	* AdaptationalDumbass: She was a skilled computer programmer in [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage the source material]] and [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 some adaptations]]. Not only does she lacks that level of intellect, she also thinks it is a good idea to tell people about the existence of giant hulking mutant Turtle warriors living in New York city, with zero proof. Naturally, she is fired when she tries to tell her boss about them.
189	* AdaptationOriginConnection:
190	** Where most versions of April only meet the Turtles years after they were exposed to mutagen, here the turtles are explicitly referred to by April as her childhood pets pre-mutation, and she later describes them as family; Splinter in turn notes that he was inspired to be a father to the turtles from watching the way April's father cared for her.
191	** Somewhat [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerated]], she named the Turtles, fed them pizza, marked them with their signature colors and then freed them and left them near a sewer grate, thus being directly responsible for their names, their love for pizza, their signature colors and them living in the sewers. On top of that, it is her, who has a direct connection with the Shredder, not the Turtles, as Eric Sacks worked with her father and killed him.
192	* BrokenPedestal: April starts the film admiring [[spoiler:Eric Sacks]] for publicly opposing the actions of the Foot Clan, until it is revealed that [[spoiler:not only is he a member of the Foot Clan, he is the Shredder's [[TheDragon right-hand man]].]] That pedestal is completely obliterated by the end of the film when it's revealed [[spoiler:Sacks [[YouKilledMyFather killed April's father]] after the latter discovered the true purpose of Project Renaissance and tried to stop it.]]
193	* CassandraTruth: Her accounts about the Turtles are dismissed as untrue by just about everyone.
194	* CombatPragmatist: April is clearly outclassed by virtue of being a normal human against other normal humans with guns and training [[spoiler: and one ninja master in PoweredArmor. She still takes every opportunity she gets to screw with the Shredder, from stabbing him in the back to distracting him before he can kill a helpless Leo.]]
195	* CompositeCharacter: This version of April had Splinter and the Turtles as pets before their mutation making her the movie's equivalent of the little boy from the comics who bought the Turtles from a pet store.
196	* TheDeterminator: Getting fired from her job doesn't stop her from learning the truth.
197	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Sure, take a photo of the giant talking turtles with a camera ''that has a flash''. What could possibly go wrong with that?
198	* DullSurprise: She doesn't show much in the way of emotion.
199	* GoingForTheBigScoop: She has very little self-preservation, and is willing to put herself in dangerous situations to get a story.
200	* HollywoodBeautyStandards: She's practically required by tradition to be a hot reporter; being played by Megan Fox just amps it up.
201	* IntrepidReporter: She spends most of the film chasing after the big scoop and not letting anything stopping her.
202	* MsFanservice: She is portrayed by Megan Fox after all in addition to being a very beautiful female reporter. She also tends to wear a lot of skintight pants, with [[MaleGaze camera angles that feature them prominently]]. Lampshaded in a chase scene when she leans out the window trying to catch the Turtles fighting the Foot Clan with her phone and her bum sticking out, leading to Vernon being DistractedByTheSexy.
203	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Her determination to find ''someone'' who'll believe her story leads her to Eric Sacks. Though she had no way of knowing he was in league with the Shredder at the time, it does end up leading the Foot right to the Turtles' lair.
204	* ObliviousToLove: Doesn't even register Vern's attempts at flirting, just gets very confused.
205	* YouHaveToBelieveMe: She actually seems to go out of her way to look like a raving nutcase when she first tells her boss about the Turtles. Actually mildly justified as she said she was up all night going over everything. Nerves + lack of sleep + the sheer nuttiness of the tale = not being at your best.
206	* YouKilledMyFather: Said word-for-word. [[spoiler: Eric Sacks was the one who killed April's father in the past.]]

213
214	-->'''Vernon Fenwick''': You're a talking turtle...\
215	'''Raphael:''' Yeah, and you're a human nerd.
216
217	* AdaptationalHeroism: In [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 the 1987 cartoon]], he is a {{Jerkass}} and a DirtyCoward. This film takes away [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold much of his jerkassery]] and makes him an ActionSurvivor and something of a BadassBystander along with April. This arguably makes him closer to the way [[CharacterizationMarchesOn he was originally portrayed]] in the '87 cartoon before he turned into April's rival.
218	** Does a little bit of backsliding in the sequel when he lets his newfound wealth and fame get to his head, but he pulls through when it counts.
219	* TheArtifact: He plays a considerably smaller role for much of the second film.
220	* CaptainObvious: When he sees Raph, all he can say is, "You're a talking turtle."
221	* CasanovaWannabe: Repeatedly and clumsily tries to hit on April. He seems convinced that the feelings are mutual, even though all of his flirtations go [[ObliviousToLove right over her head]].
222	* DistractedByTheSexy: Gets distracted by April's ample rear as she's leaning out to record their escape from the Foot Clan and forgets to watch where he's driving, causing them to crash.
223	* TheEveryman: Before he achieves fame in the second movie, he's basically a normal, average guy thrown into a world of mutants and ninjas.
224	* FakeUltimateHero: He gets sole credit for taking down the Shredder at the end of the first movie.
225	* YoungerThanTheyLook: InUniverse, Mikey seems to think Vernon is old, since he tells Leo not to forget "that old guy" when the turtles must rescue him and April from a falling semi truck. Since Vern's actor was around 44 when ''Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2014'' came out this is obviously PlayedForLaughs.

229	[[quoteright:188:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_1573_4.jpeg]]
230	-> '''Portrayed by:''' Creator/StephenAmell
231	* AdaptationalJobChange: This version of Casey is a cop. He mentioned working as a {{bouncer}} in [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage the original Mirage comics]] and was said to be a professional athlete in [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990 the 1990 movie]]. [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 The 2003 series]], on the other hand, indicated that he may be a mechanic, but this is the first time he is depicted as a law enforcer.
232	* AdaptationalWimp: As a result of turning the Turtles into Hulking mutants, Casey freaks out and begs for his and April's lives when he first meets them. [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage Most]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 of]] [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990 the]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 other]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 incarnations]] has him getting into a fight with the Turtles (either just Raphael or all of them) when he first encounters them. And he is usually a physical match for them.
233	* AffectionateNickname: "The New Guy". Leo also calls him "Friday the 13th" because of his mask, which the guys make fun of a lot.
234	* ButtMonkey: Takes grief from just about everybody.
235	* CassandraTruth: Ninjas on motorcycles? Manhole-shooting garbage truck? Sure thing, Jones.
236	* CompositeCharacter: He has more similarities with the character Nobody, from the [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage original comics]] and the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 2003 animated series]] than he has with Casey Jones, other than his name, mask and penchant for using a hockey stick as weapon.
237	* CoolMask: Sports his trademark goalie's mask [[MarqueeAlterEgo in one scene]].
238	* ImprobableWeaponUser: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]]. Aside from his hockey stick, he also uses an ''improvised hockey stick'' out of an L-shaped metal rod, to use as his weapon at one point.
239	* ImprobablyCoolCar: How the hell can he afford a Dodge Challenger Hellcat on an NYPD officer's salary!?
240	* InformedFlaw: He mentions having anger issues, but it is never really shown.
241	* InNameOnly: Has nothing in common with his comic book counterpart and other versions outside of his name, skills with hockey, weapon (which is a hockey stick), and trademark goalie's mask.
242	* RollerbladeGood: Jury rigs a pair out of office chair wheels and duct tape.
243	* TheSixthRanger: Although hesitant at first, Casey joins the Turtles in the plan to stop Shredder and Krang after learning that they had helped him fend off the Foot Clan. He's immediately known as "The New Guy".
244	* YouDontLookLikeYou: His overall appearance is very different from his usual appearance. The adult Casey generally has [[BarbarianLongHair long hair]], and a clean shaven face, or sometimes sports a PermaStubble (some younger incarnations do have short hair, though). Here he has a buzzcut and a goatee. And aside from his hockey stick in one scene, he doesn't carry any other sports equipments (that he generally carries in a golf bag) that he can use as ImprovisedWeapon and in fact, he uses a pipe shaped like a hockey stick as an improvised hockey stick in his final showdown against Bebop and Rocksteady.

248	-> '''Portrayed by:''' Creator/LauraLinney
249
250	* DaChief: She's the Police Chief.
251	* FriendOnTheForce: Becomes this.
252	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She's portrayed as a bit of a BitchInSheepsClothing at first but gradually evolves into this at the latter end of the film, setting April and Casey free when April's innocence was finally proven and even deciding to overlook the fact that Casey had stolen her cell phone in order to prove their innocence. Her attitude towards the TMNT also evolves, seeing them as monsters at first but eventually coming to see them as heroes.

259	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/WilliamFichtner
260
261	--> ''"I'm going to be rich! Like, stupid rich!"''
262
263	* BitchInSheepsClothing: He initially looks like a nice, reasonable businessman who publicly opposes the Foot Clan's actions, but under the surface, [[spoiler:he's a CorruptCorporateExecutive who works as the Shredder's [[TheDragon Dragon]], and freely admits that his only motive for trying to poison New York is to make himself "stupid rich."]]
264	* ButNotTooForeign: An American who was born in Japan.
265	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He is completely retconned out of the 2016 sequel, without so much as a mention.
266	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: His [[spoiler: EvilPlan amounts to releasing a [[DeadlyGas lethal biotoxin]] upon New York just so he can profit from making an antidote]].
267	* CutLexLuthorACheck: He has a building in downtown Manhattan, a mansion home outside of town, helicopter, resources to have labs - but he's evidently not rich ''enough''. He wants to be "stupid rich" by [[spoiler:[[PoisonAndCureGambit poisoning the city and selling the cure]].]]
268	* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: His father died in Vietnam, leading to [[spoiler: The Shredder]] becoming his ParentalSubstitute.
269	* TheDragon: He's this to [[spoiler: the Shredder]].
270	* TheEngineer: He designed [[spoiler: the Shredder's PoweredArmor]].
271	* FriendlessBackground: Being an American child living in Japan, he was an outcast. And then he was taken in by [[spoiler: The Shredder]].
272	* MilitaryBrat: His father was an American serviceman stationed on Okinawa, who died during a deployment to Vietnam.
273	* PoisonAndCureGambit: The extent of [[spoiler:his EvilPlan; he'll unleash a biotoxin upon New York, and then sell an antidote derived from the Turtles' mutagen.]]
274	* RedHerring: It was initially believed that he was going to be this film's incarnation of the Shredder. That said, the licensed game does indeed give him the identity, which lends credence to the idea that [[WhatCouldHaveBeen it was going to be true at one point]]. [[https://movieweb.com/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-2-shredder-fichtner/ William Fichtner also confirmed]] that initially he was supposed to be the Shredder, before ExecutiveMeddling changed that.
275	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Due to the changes made to his character by ExecutiveMeddling, he is now the Shredder's loyal right hand man, who is personally responsible for the murder of April's father, making him a somewhat less [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower hulking]] and [[BadassNormal competent]] version of [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Hun]].
276	* VillainWithGoodPublicity: He appears to be a clean-cut businessman who publicly opposes the Foot Clan. In reality,[[spoiler: not only is he actually part of the Foot Clan, he's actually one of their highest-ranking members.]]

279	[[folder:The Shredder]]
280	->'''Portrayed by:''' Tohoru Masamune (2014), Creator/BrianTee (Out of the Shadows)
281
282	--> ''"Tonight I dine on turtle soup!"''
283
284	* AdaptationalWimp: ''Heavily'' downplayed. One might not even notice it at first glance because like past versions of the Shredder, he's more than capable of putting a good hurting on the Turtles or Splinter. But unlike past incarnations who were all BadassNormal villains capable of beating up mutants, this incarnation of Shredder, despite being skilled in his own right, has to wear PoweredArmor to be able to achieve the same results, considering the Turtles are now AdaptationalBadass characters with serious superhuman stats. Were this Shredder to fight the Turtles without his powerful robotic armor, it's more than likely he'd end up eating through a straw for the rest of his life, assuming he even survives at all.
285	* AssholeVictim: Goes from a sentence of life in maximum security prison to [[spoiler: becoming a HumanPopsicle.]] He deserves every bit of it, and more.
286	* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Briefly on the rooftop, he fights each of the turtles in a combat style similar to their individual styles, and hands them their shells every time.
287	* BigBad: As if there was any doubt. He's the leader of the Foot Clan and aspires to take over New York City with a biological toxin.
288	* BilingualDialogue: When speaking to Karai and Sacks in the first film, they speak English while he responds in Japanese.
289	* BladeBelowTheShoulder: His PoweredArmor includes at least four of them on each arm. They're detachable and can be retrieved using magnets.
290	* CurbStompBattle: Each of the turtles promptly get their asses handed to them when facing him, even as a team. Splinter is the only one able to really give him much of a fight.
291	** Special mention goes to his one-on-one against Raphael, who barely manages to lay a single blow. It's more of a beating than a fight.
292	* DemotedToDragon: While he's the Big Bad of the 2014 film, he serves as TheDragon to Krang in 2016's ''Out of the Shadows'', [[spoiler:until Krang betrays him near the end of the movie, and freezes him.]]
293	* EyeScream : [[spoiler: When April kicks him at the end of the movie, she somehow manages to jam his own wrist blades into the eye hole of his helmet.]]
294	* TheFaceless: Though we do see glimpses of him, he's mostly seen in shadows until he dons his PoweredArmor, so we don't get a proper view of his face. We get to see his face in the sequel, but his actor has changed so it's a ''different'' face.
295	* FauxAffablyEvil: He talks to Splinter and the turtles like old acquaintances he's happy to see again, though it's very clear he'd all the more delighted to kill them once he doesn't need them anymore.
296	* GoodScarsEvilScars: He sports quite a few facial scars.
297	* HumanPopsicle: His final fate in ''Out of the Shadows'' is to [[spoiler:be flash-frozen by Krang.]]
298	* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:Gets angry when Krang betrays him after outliving his usefulness even though he had done the same to Baxter moments ago.]]
299	* GratuitousJapanese: The Shredder speaks several lines in full Japanese, though this stops once he's in his armor.
300	* LightningBruiser: With all that PoweredArmor, he can still jump and ''kick three turtles before landing!''
301	* ManBehindTheMan: In the first movie, he is the one Eric Sacks and Karai report to.
302	* MarqueeAlterEgo: Spends most of ''Out of the Shadows'' unmasked, probably to make the most of Brian Tee's face. Averted in the original, where he spends most of the film masked.
303	* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: His fight with Splinter turns rather brutal towards the later half of it.
304	* NotSoStoic: Just as he arrives with Karai to brief Bebop and Rocksteady about their next mission in ''Out Of the Shadows'', he is briefly interrupted by Bebop, who is still slurping in an overly long spaghetti noodle that wrapped itself around his face and nose. While this is going on, Shredder is trying ''his absolute damnedest'' to maintain a stoic appearance, while briefly exchanging a concerned and disgusted glance with Karai.
305	* OlderThanTheyLook: In ''Out Of the Shadows'', he looks more like a man in his late 30's, rather than in his late 50's.
306	* OutOfFocus: He has noticeably less screen time in ''Out of the Shadows''. He doesn't even get to fight at all during the whole movie.
307	** He is also OutOfFocus in the first movie, as Eric Sacks was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen supposed to be the Shredder]], but the movie was reshot to make the two characters separate, resulting in the Shredder being a ManBehindTheMan for Sacks, who barely has any role in the movie, outside of fighting the Turtles and occassionally interacting with Sacks.
308	* PoweredArmor: Wears a nifty set of it designed by [[spoiler: Eric Sacks]]. It allows him to go head-to-head with the Turtles, sports several retractable blades per arm, and the blades can even be launched out as projectiles and drawn back with magnets. He loses this in the sequel, due to having ''just'' escaped prison.
309	* TheUnfought: In ''Out of the Shadows''. After spending half of the movie following Krang's plans and donning his trademark armor, [[spoiler: Krang promptly turns his back on him and turns him into a HumanPopsicle before imprisoning him in the Technodrome, not even giving him another rematch against the Turtles.]]
310	* WalkingArmory: As per usual. His PoweredArmor has several retractable blades per arm, and he can even pull them out to make a double-edged blade. The suit can also fire the blades, and safely bring them back with magnets. He looks like a Swiss army knife.
311	* WithMyHandsTied: In his [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first scene]], he beats up a Foot ninja with his hands literally tied behind his back.
312	* WouldHitAGirl: [[spoiler:Shredder clearly has no problem killing April, attempting to do so repeatedly, though the Turtles keep distracting him.]]
313	* YouDontLookLikeYou: Even ignoring the fact that Shredder is played by different actors in both films, he looks younger, shorter and has little to no scars on his face in ''Out of the Shadows''.

319	-->''"We know you're out there! If you don't surrender, we start executing hostages!"''
320
321	The Shredder's second-in-command.
322
323	* AdaptationalWimp: In most media, she's the Shredder's successor as the Foot Clan's leader, and can go toe-to-toe with the Turtles to the point of murdering Leonardo once. Here, she gets easily defeated by them with little effort in the first film, and she even gets a OneHitKO from ''April O'Neil'' of all people in the sequel.
324	* DarkActionGirl: Sort of. She does get to fight April in ''Out of the Shadows'', but it's not much.
325	* DemotedToExtra: She has less of a role here than in other media. And in ''Out of the Shadows'', she gets even more of a demotion since the Shredder himself gets demoted!
326	* TheDragon: To the Shredder.
327	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The 2014 licensed game reveals that she cares for Eric Sacks's sanity.
328	* FauxActionGirl: She's the Shredder's second-in-command, but she easily gets defeated throughout the films.
329	* TheHeavy: She serves as the Foot Clan's mission leader in the first film, while the Shredder operates behind the scenes.
330	* NonconformistDyedHair: Karai has black and red hair.
331	* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Her personal color scheme.
332	* SatelliteCharacter: She has very little characterization.
333	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The only known woman in the Foot.
334	* TruerToTheText: She is not the Shredder's daughter, adopted or otherwise, an aspect that was added to the 2003 series that has become a staple in all non-comic media. [[note]]The IDW comics depict her as his biological granddaughter.[[/note]]
335	* UnexplainedRecovery: She is last seen in the first movie inside a Jeep that was sent rolling over and tumbling down a hill. She returns remarkably unscathed in the sequel.

339	[[folder:Bebop and Rocksteady]]
340	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/GaryAnthonyWilliams (Bebop) and Stephen "Wrestling/{{Sheamus}}" Farrelly (Rocksteady)
341
342	-->'''Bebop''': You're a rhinoceros!\
343	'''Rocksteady''': And you're a... I don't know what you are!\
344	'''Bebop''': ''[sees his reflection]'' Huh, I'm a little piggy?\
345	'''Baxter Stockman''': You're a warthog.
346
347	* AdaptationalBadass: In the original cartoon, Bebop and Rocksteady were never particularly dangerous enemies. While they were physically stronger than the Turtles, they were DumbMuscle who were too incompetent to be a threat. As the turtles in these films already have SuperStrength, Bebop and Rocksteady are even stronger and more violent, easily tossing cars out of the way while on a rampage. And while they are still idiots, they are somewhat more competent, presumably because these versions of Shredder and Krang won't stand for failure [[YouHaveFailedMe in more ways than one]].
348	* AffectionateNickname: Beebs and Rock, respectively.
349	* BigEater: Following their transformations, Bebop and Rocksteady eat from ''oil drums'' of spaghetti and meatballs.
350	* CharacterCatchphrase: "My man!"/"''My'' man!"
351	* DelinquentHair: Bebop is sporting his signature purple mohawk, because there wouldn't be any point in calling him "Bebop" otherwise. Unlike Rocksteady's hair, his survives his transformation.
352	* DumbassHasAPoint: Bebop is at least smart enough to know that firing a tank inside an active plane is monumentally stupid.
353	* DumbMuscle: Shredder lampshades that they're able to take the Turtles down in a single blow, and they can, but they're so stupid, they not only visit their well-known favorite bar while on the run, they think licking the inside of a petri dish with unknown contents is a bright idea. Rocksteady even goes so far as firing the heavy machine gun of a tank while he's inside a cargo plane, in flight, and Bebop's in the line of fire.
354	** Bebop is at least smart enough to immediately call out Rocksteady over using the tank inside an in-flight plane.
355	** Shredder even says he needs soldiers that are powerful and stupid.
356	--->'''Shredder''': Candidates who will easily fall under my command. [[BigGuy Large in size]]. Low in intellect.
357	* EvilRedhead: Rocksteady in his human form (due to it being the real life hair color of his actor, Sheamus), but he loses it when he mutates into a BaldOfEvil rhino.
358	* FatBestFriend: Bebop, to Rocksteady, following their transformation.
359	* {{Foil}}: To the Turtles, who are skilled, heroic, [[IJustWantToBeNormal tempted by the prospect of becoming human]] and have frequent trouble cooperating. Beebop and Rocksteady [[UnskilledButStrong rely on brute force]], are petty criminals, love their powerful new mutant forms and get along great with each other.
360	* ForcedTransformation: While neither of them were transformed of their own free will, they take it well and seem more excited than anything else.
361	* FullBoarAction: Bebop turns into a giant, fat warthog.
362	* FunWithHomophones:
363	-->'''Rocksteady''': That's right. I'm Finnish, because when I start a beatdown I always Finnish it!
364	* HeterosexualLifePartners: They are always seen together, never fight, compliment and encourage each other (even after they become mutants), and make a better team than the turtles for a while simply because they have each other's backs at all times.
365	* HotBloodedSideburns: Rocksteady sports some very impressive muttonchops before his transformation.
366	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: "Bebop" and "Rocksteady" are just criminal aliases that they've adopted and their real names are never said -- though the rap sheets Casey looks at do have real names listed for them, with Rocksteady's real name, Owen Rocksteed, being shown for a second.
367	* RhinoRampage: Rocksteady post-mutation becomes a giant rhinoceros.
368	* ThoseTwoGuys: Never seen apart.
369	* UnskilledButStrong: They are strong and are fully capable of outmuscling the turtles but they lack skill and strategy. [[spoiler: They only won the first battle against the turtles because the turtles weren't prepared to fight them and because Rocksteady had access to a tank.]]

372	[[folder:Krang]]
373	-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/BradGarrett
374
375	--> ''"I know what you're thinking right now, of all the ways you'd like to kill me. But that would require you out-thinking me. And no one, nothing is smarter than THE KRANG!"''
376
377	* AdaptationalModesty: Instead of looking like a fat man in a red speedo, Krang's mech suit looks almost entirely robotic save for the head.
378	* AliensAreBastards: Much like the ''Film/MarsAttacks'' Martians, he's equipped with high-tech weaponry and just wants to wreak havoc on Earth for fun and simply calls Earth his toy.
379	* BadBoss: As mentioned above, slaps the Shredder around a lot when they first meet. [[spoiler: However, when Shredder completes his plan to assemble the Technodrome on Earth, he freezes him.]]
380	* BerserkButton: "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis I! DO! NOT! LIKE TO SHARE!]]"
381	* BewareTheSillyOnes: Is a ''massive'' LargeHam and PsychopathicManchild, but he's also a planet-conquering alien invader with a mecha suit powerful enough to give the turtles a serious fight.
382	* BigBad: For the second movie, with Shredder as TheDragon.
383	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: [[spoiler: If Krang's trophy room is anything to go by, Shredder's not the first villain he teamed up with just to gain access to their world...]]
384	* CompositeCharacter: His mechanical body bears more than a passing resemblance to his body from the IDW comics. Krang's action figure also has an extra 'A' in it ("Kraang") like the 2012 show.
385	* CrazyPrepared: The platform in the Technodrome that he battles the Turtles on? Houses a ''platter'' of weapons for his robot body to switch out in case of dismemberment.
386	-->'''Krang:''' [[LampshadeHanging You didn't think I]] ''[[LampshadeHanging planned]]'' [[LampshadeHanging for this?!]]
387	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Krang gets a dose of this when he tries to slide himself back into his android body, only to be too large for the cockpit. He demands that the android push him in. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Well, it pushed him in, all right...]]
388	* EvilIsHammy: Krang's voice is rather deep and more growly than his other incarnations, but he retains his normal level of hamminess.
389	* ForTheEvulz: Conquering planets with weapons of mass destruction, and exterminating the natives, is nothing more than a game to him.
390	* LaughablyEvil: While he is a warlord who wants to reign havoc on Earth because he can, he is not above making a few jokes and is just as bombastic as his 80s’ self.
391	* LetsGetDangerous: Invokes this when he summons a BFG to mount on the android to get to Mikey.
392	-->'''Krang:''' Okay, turtles! Playtime is OVER!
393	* LittleGreenManInACan: Krang spends much of his time in an imposing robotic suit.
394	* OutOfFocus: Appears in one scene in the first act to play MrExposition to Shredder about the Arc Capacitor, then disappears after he sends Shredder back to Earth.
395	* PsychopathicManchild: He calls the entire planet Earth his "toy", and goes berserk at Shredder ordering him to share that toy.
396	* SpellMyNameWithAThe: For some reason calls himself ''The'' Krang. Probably as an attempt to sound intimidating.
397	* SpinToDeflectStuff: Does this with the upper half of his android body numerous times against the Turtles. Later on, they learn their lesson and just ''hang on to his arms''.
398	* TruerToTheText: The [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 2012]] incarnation heavily reworked Krang to be a HiveMind, and portrayed him as a slightly more serious threat with very little in the way of a sense of humor. This film portrays Krang more similar to his 1987 counterpart, where he's a singular, snarky alien warlord.
399	* WeWillMeetAgain: [[spoiler: As he is banished back to his dimension along with the Technodrome, he vows, "I'll be back, but a thousand times stronger!"]]
400	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Once Shredder has finished building the Arc Capacitor, Krang betrays him and turns him into a HumanPopsicle before locking him away with all his other trophies from different worlds.]]

404	-> '''Portrayed by''': Creator/TylerPerry
405
406	--> ''"This is gonna be ''good''!"''
407
408	* AmbitionIsEvil: Baxter's motivation for helping Shredder and Krang is to be remembered in a way that makes other famous scientist footnotes in history.
409	* BlackAndNerdy: So nerdy that he knows the [[InsistentTerminology difference between a "nerd" and a "geek."]]
410	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: [[spoiler: Becomes a victim of this when Shredder decides he doesn't need his help anymore.]]
411	* ForScience: Jazzed about helping Shredder create his own mutants.
412	* GlorySeeker: He dreams of being remembered as a great scientific trailblazer. [[spoiler: Shredder [[KickTheDog Kicks The Dog]] by having Baxter dragged off to imprisonment once he's [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived his usefulness]] and assuring him that no one will ever even know his name.]]
413	* GradeSkipper: Graduated MIT at age 15.Q
414	* InternalRetcon: Stockman covers his tracks by altering security camera footage to make it appear that April O'Neil and Casey Jones stole the Ooze from Stockman's labs, and hiding his involvement with Shredder and the mutation of Bebop and Rocksteady.
415	* MadScientist: More like a giddy one.
416	* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Delighted to work with Shredder, a notorious criminal, to create Bebop and Rocksteady and help him assemble the Arc Capacitor.
417	* NerdGlasses: Stockman sports a pair of thick-rimmed black glasses.
418	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His attire and position in the scientific community bears some resemblance to Neil [=deGrasse=] Tyson.
419	* TheSmartGuy: In Shredder's band of accomplices.
420	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He essentially replaces Eric Sacks as the "tech guy" for the Foot Clan, and also [[VillainWithGoodPublicity well-loved by the public at large]]. An odd example, as Sacks himself was relegated to the tech guy due to the reshoots.
