Go To

Determined to destroy the Turtles, Shredder uses Krang's dimensional portal in hopes of getting some hi-tech weapon to use. What he unleashes are a pair of Krang's Stone Warriors, following a trio of wild teens in flying cars! The Neutrinos meet the Turtles, and tell them about Krang.

Tropes

  • Don't Look At Me: Krang is embarrassed at his bodiless form, and when his Stone Warriors show up, this is his reaction.
  • Internal Reveal: The Turtle gang finally learn about Krang.
  • Let's You and Him Fight: Because the Neutrinos are driving amok, the Turtles get into a skirmish trying to slow them down.
  • Mid-Season Upgrade: The turtles and April are able to repurpose Baxter Stockman's van into the Turtle Van.
  • Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Shredder fooling with Krang's portal leads the Turtles to learning about Krang.
  • No-Nonsense Nemesis: After their attempt to hunt down the Neutrinos fails, the Stone Warriors return to the Technodrome to guard Krang, but not before General Tragg deploys a Weather Satellite, a baseball-sized weather control device/WMD, to kill all of Krang's enemies at once.
    Tragg: Fair with high clouds... mild showers... ah, TOTAL CHAOS! Within two hours, the weather it creates will stamp this city flat.
  • Offscreen Karma: Baxter is mentioned to have been arrested by the police for his crimes in the previous episode. He won't be seen again until season 2.
  • Oh, No... Not Again!: When the group arrives at the Technodrome.
    Donatello: We'll never get the van up there. April, stay here.
    April: Oh, again?
  • Ship Tease: Between Michelangelo and Kala.
  • Totally Radical: The Neutrino's slang was dated even when the episode premiered.
