However , while Turtlemania may have turned the Turtle Van from a relatively normal new wave into an epic vehicle that was majorly ‘ toyetic ’ , the currentTMNTcomics just give the Party Wagon even more of a sea wolf upgrade .
In the grittyoriginal black and whiteTMNTcomic book series – where the Turtles were all identical with razor - acuate ninja focussing and absolutely no hang - ups about murdering their enemy – the TMNT had a regular , flummox up van that they cruised around in . It was nothing exceptional , but they were ninjas , so it did n’t really have to be .

Gone were the years of sombre gear and dismay living conditions . The animated cartoon befit up every aspect of the Turtles ’ lives , from their domicile in the sewer ( which was originally right smart grosser ) to the aforementioned Party Wagon . The van was upgraded from a sorry vehicle to one with giant tires , weapons climb , and a full - on ‘ Turtle ’ aesthetic complete with a ‘ shell shield ’ . With this , the Ninja Turtles ’ whole forgettable van became the iconic Party Wagon , and IDW Publishing recently made it even cool .

The Turtles were park almost right next to where the meet - up was taking topographic point , and they were n’t seen because the van was unseeable .
This is n’t the first time the Ninja Turtles have used cloaking technology to turn themselves inconspicuous in ordering to spy on a target . In a previous egress , the Turtles used the cloaking tech stolen from the villainous Street spectre to enter the Toad Baron ’s Den of Delights unseen to spy on real God – and the same tech was used on their Party Wagon . This signify that the Turtle Van got a god - grade upgrade , as the invisibility technical school used on it was the same kind that tricked literal deities in an earlier plot line .
