Ngl even though Baxter is a villian dude did not deserve what Shredder did to him. Nobody deserves to be reduced to a brain. You'd think Stockman would have been plotting after he lost his eye.

Reminds me a lot of Warframe, where there was that planet where the inhabitants had their body parts repossessed if they couldn't pay their debts.

I wish Ch’rell would be sent to The Phantom Zone for his punishment for killing millions of innocent lives.

Genius Intellectual word from Stockman! Only him ALONE has what it takes to stand up to The Shredder (verbally)

[@davidcase8635]

Way better than 2012 Stockman, for sure.

[@GrandScourge555]

The dude did bad things, yes but none of his crimes can justify this living nightmare that he's forced unwillingly to participate in

A reporter in 1 episode asking/ Is Baxter Stockman under your payroll !?

He definitely have no problem to build an organic muscular body by himself for himself.

[@KillerLofi]

He did build one for himself when working for Bishop but it failed and decayed

[@TheD19]

@@KillerLofi i see, its for the plot then. After all, we can make real functioning tissue IRL. In this cartoon, he can make his brain functioning without body, just in aquarium.

[@nehemiahpouncey3607]

Don't forget he also got turned into A fly.

He always had pride His pride went his downhil if he didn't have pride Donnie couldn't have used his own weapon against his own pride is his most weakness

This is pretty violent considering that 4kids likes to tame down the violence in most of 4kids' output. 4kids were most famous (for the wrong reasons) for their English dubs of anime. There are some exceptions when it comes to their anime English dubs; Sonic X, Pokemon, Kirby, and Yu-Gi-Oh are the ones that come to mind. However, they were responsible for the 2003 TMNT, which is an original cartoon. This cartoon is surprisingly good, at least from what I can tell. I barely even watched the show when I was a kid. The only time I ever watched it was when it aired on Cartoon Network. It never resonated with me when I was a kid.

I loved 2003's TMNT. I always thought that Stockman losing his body parts from his punishments was a bit too much for a kids' cartoon show, though.

[@raiderking7310]

I dunno if it sounds odd but its kinda funny seeing how mutilated stockman gets and yet he stilll comes
