    Havin' a debate with my mates... who's your favourite Turtle?

    ...Donetello IMO. Those crazy contraptions got them every time.

    Also, if anyone can name the four toad's from the series, and their weapon's, you'll recive the golden amulet of power, knowledge and well-being.

    …or maybe not.

    Raphael, the sarcasm was strong with that one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭strat


    michaelangelo gets my vote, had the wackiest accent and always had some mad shít on teh pizza :cool: and he was the cooelest :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,392 ✭✭✭jonno


    Ah man those were the days.

    Raphael definately my no.1. What with that sarcasm, wit, pulling the piss out of everything - what more could you ask for in a turtle.

    Raphael was a moaning bitch. has to be micRaMAanglo


  • Registered Users Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Raphael as I used to play the arcade game and was always the three pinned Raphael. Moan maybe but deadly he was.. yes

    Leonardo because he was their leader and I had a toy of him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    Michaelangelo for some reason. he was always my favourite turtle. out of the whole show it was Splinter. you gotta love a giant, talking and very wise sewer rat. i found out recently that Network 2 are showing the Turtles early in the morning. one more thing, why were they the Hero Turtles over here and the Ninja Turtles in the states?


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    AFAIK the censors here thought Ninja sounded too violent so it was changed to hero.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,489 ✭✭✭Clintons Cat


    ninja was deemed to have to highly violent conetations for a kids tv show.Replaced with word Hero for european syndication.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    Like kids would really know what a ninja was, or even the highly violent conetations of being one. They changed it back to ninja after a while. Or maybe it was just the ones shown on sky that were called ninja.

    back in the eighties the british government went nuts on all things oriental,sparked by some media witchhunt nunchucks and shurikens were banned.
    I recall some spectrum game (sabotuer ??) even had to remove reference to shurikens from the code and replace them with throwing knives :rolleyes:
    The Ninja name was changed back after the film release.And promptly sparked a run of "kids in playground brawl shock-Turtles Slammed" headlines


    Anyone remember the turtles coin op? That was rockhard.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭Mills


    The turtles coin-op 0wned!! I remember pestering my mother for 10ps every time we were in town so I could go and play it :).

    Turtles game for the NES anyone? First console game I ever got, loved it to bits.


  • Registered Users Posts: 483 ✭✭banbutcher


    man the turtles were pretty good!

    dose any one remember the turtle cards??
    i had all but 2!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    I thought donatello was the best for some reason. April was HOT! and you can't deny it :D

    There were all sorts of anti-turtle stuff flying around. Like the kids who climbed in the sewers and died, they blamed it on the turtles......ffs.

    Raphael, for his hatred of almost anything

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 72 ✭✭JacquesPompidou


    What's wrong with Rats and babes? Splinter and April mine!

    Mon Dieu

    They would make a strange couple.:rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 479 ✭✭phoenix2181

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9 FrostyThePeanut

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,004 ✭✭✭The Gopher


    Michaelanelo deffo.""Parrrtttyy on dudes!"His love of pizza convinced me to try it when i was 6,forming a lifelong love affair with the food
    :cool:

    You know as far as baddies go Shredder was pretty damn cool.


  • Registered Users Posts: 483 ✭✭banbutcher


    what about krang!! he was a cool bas-tarsd! what with the robot he live in and stuff!! the pea brain (hehehe)


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,488 ✭✭✭Goodshape


    So no one much likes Donetello then?

    ...I mean, Leonardo was just too clean... the Luke Skywalker charactor... everyone likes Han better.

    Mike was funny at times, but at the end of the day he was just plain anoying.

    Raph was good I suppose... bit of a complaining fool.

    Can't complain about Don... laid back, cool... he held the team together.

    And does no one remember the Toads at all?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 437 ✭✭daveJAM


    Donatello was by far the best. What with all those gadgets and all.

    Maybe its just the nerd in my trying to get out but I think Donatello kicked ass.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    I remember the toads just not their names.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Squall


    ahhhhhh, good ol turtles. I remember one of me first holidays abroad playing some arcade game with me cousin in france.
    We mus of spent 50squid each on the thing while we were there. Funny thing is we never knew what exactly was going on because all the dialogue was in french.

    Favourite turtle=Donnatello definately. He was always the level headed guy(well most of the time)


  • Registered Users Posts: 483 ✭✭banbutcher


    goodshape!-
    Can't complain about Don... laid back, cool... he held the team together.
    then why in the name of jaysus have you got raph as your aviatar???


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,055 ✭✭✭suppafly


    I think Leonarda is cool. I like his swords, also i used to polay with him in the games. Donatello i spretty cool too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,379 ✭✭✭Mills


    Ah, I forgot about Leonardo's swords, by far the best weapon a turtle used, Raphael had some pansy fork things :(.

    I was the biggest turtle fan, the best episode was when they came to ireland, the worst when they were in paris.

    B-bop and Rock Steady kicked ass, shredder and krang should have whooped their smelly grenn arse's. I had the turtle helicopter with punching arms, techno dome, the van, bike, blow up blimp and even their mentor splinter. And i would have given April one.

    T-U-R-T-L-E power, michaelanglo was my favourite cos we more or less have the same name, bogus man. no anchovies on my pizza or i ll beat you with my rhythm stick.

    Anyone remember the turtle pizza, the worst was the apple flavour.
