word of advice ! This clause hold spoilers for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles # 146The weapons used by theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesare almost as iconic as the Turtles themselves , but it ’s clean to say that - no matter how placeable the katana and nunchucks may be - aStar Warslightsaber is higher-ranking no matter the universe in which a version of it may appear . And now , one of the original Turtle blood brother has got their hands on an get-up-and-go blade reminiscent of a lightsaber , giving him an epic weapon system rising slope .
It ’s implausibly fitting that one of the Ninja Turtles would get a futuristic weapon in this stage ofTMNTcanon . After peering into the future tense during the recently concludedArmageddon Game , Donatello saw a threat the like of which he ’d never seen before , even compare to the literal divinity he and his siblings were facing at the time : Armaggon .

These panels are fromTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Armageddon Game - The Alliance#4 , where Armaggon made his first show in IDW Publising persistence !
While Donatello is still trying to understand the scope of this potentially multiversal threat , the one thing that seems the most clear is that this is a war that will take position in the time to come , and the Turtles will ask next convenience and weapons to fight it . This ongoing dispute is part of IDW Publishing ’s “ Road to 150”Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesevent , pit the final story arc crafted by acclaimedTMNTwriter and artist Sophie Campbell that will strain its decision inTMNT#150 .

There ’s a desert landscape painting behind Leo , afford a exanimate quality to the overall piece of music .
