Warning ! This clause turn back coddler for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles # 146TheTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesare in a wash against time in the on-going ' Road to 150 ' - or , more accurately , a airstream against an entity that eats time . After their victory over the ancient god , the Rat King , the Ninja Turtles are immediately pitted against another cosmic terror called Armaggon . Except , this battle wo n’t be fought in another kingdom ( like the Thin Place ) , but instead another time - the time to come , to be precise . While traverse the timeline look for a elbow room to stop Armaggon , the Turtles are coming into contact with their future self , each one complete with an interesting raw futuristic fiber pattern . And now , one more has been add together to the premix , asTMNTis about to stick in its fresh Cyborg Turtle ( and ‘ XC fans are endure to sleep together it ) .
In the preview page published byLeague of Comic GeeksforTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles#148 by Sophie Campbell and Vincenzo Federici , fan are apply a look at the cover art for this and the old government issue . The art for # 147 - done by Federici - depict a Turtle souse in purple Inner Light , with half of his face altered by robotic / cybernetic enhancement , effectively transforming him into a cyborg .
While it ’s not explicitly stated that this Turtle is Donatello , there are a few visual clues that would lead one to that decision . The first and most obvious of which is the purple lighting , a color that is all but synonymous with Donatello withinTMNTcanon . Next is the very fact that this Turtle is a cyborg at all , as it seems to be a pretty clear recall to Donatello ’s original role on the team as discover in the iconic ‘ 90s cartoon theme song : Donatello does car .
2023 saw the TMNT get the better of the Rat King in Armageddon Game and challenge Armaggon in the Road to 150 , but the large news was the ascension of the new TMNT .
TMNT’s New Cyborg Turtle Isn’t The Series’ First
Though it may seem like Donatello should have the total rights to the ‘ Cyborg Turtle ’ aesthetic , there ’s really another Cyborg Turtle running aroundTMNTcanon . InTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Annual2023 # 1 , this Cyborg Turtle was revealed to be an old version of Raphael , who travel back in clock time to kill Donatello before he created Armaggon ( something that was recently discover inTMNT#146 ) .
This interlingual rendition of Raph actually made an appearance at the end of the latestTMNTissue - # 146 - mean he ’ll likely play a bigger role in the larger storyline than his previousTerminator - esque mission . And now , it seems like this new Cyborg Turtle is about to follow suit - at least , hopefully . There is an undeniably malevolent undercurrent that engulfs this image of Cyborg Donnie , but hopefully that ’s just a stylistic choice made by the creative person , and not a reflection of the character ’s intent . But , regardless of his role in the story itself , this new Cyborg Turtle look absolutely amazing - particularly in the centre of ‘ ninety kids .
TMNT’s ‘Cyborg Donnie’ Brings The Coolest ‘90s Aesthetics To Life
TheTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesfranchise in spades shoot its stride in the ‘ ninety , but it was n’t the only thing gas up in comic record book / cartoon culture medium at the time . The ‘ 90s was an epoch obsess with the ultra hardcore esthetic , including giant artillery , intense cybernetic enhancements , and stylishly impractical character excogitation . The ilk of Marvel Comics’X - Force , Image Comics’Youngblood , and evenBiker Mice From Marsare pure case of this . TMNTdidn’t really plunge into this trope ( except for the serial ’ stint under Image Comics ) , but now it seemsTMNTis take a leak up for lost metre with this new Cyborg Turtle .
TMNTwas one of the most popular dealership of the ‘ 90s , and now it has finally take over the most mainstream aspect of ‘ 90s esthetic with its novel Cyborg Turtle . The fiber ( who is presumably Donatello ) is bounce to be incredibly interesting within theTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ' ongoing ' Road to 150 ' storyline itself , but it ’s fair to say that the mere appearance of the character is interesting enough , and is one that ‘ 90s rooter will dead love .
