The reason Splinter became a rat is because the rat briefly touched him, leaving enough of its DNA on Splinter (like what happened to Snakeweed, given he fell into a bunch of weeds before the ooz hit). The reason the turtles turned human-like is because they didn't touch anything before mutating.
Well, they did have splinter touch them when he was human. If you are human touching and animal, you'll have the property of the animal. Can the same be in reverse. animal touching a human? there is another example, but I save them when they come up.
Hell yeah, this is my favorite version of the turtles so I am so looking forward to this series! 3:51 Also just for the record on how the mutagen works. In this version of TMNT, the mutagen mutates you depending on the last thing you touched. The last thing splinter came in contact with was a rat and so that's why he mutated into a giant rat. And the last thing the turtles came in contact with was splinter, so they mutated to become more humanoid.
In the first two seasons Michelangelo: Greg Cipes, Donatello: Rob Paulsen, Raph: Sean Astin and Leonardo: Jason Biggs, Splinter: Hoon Lee and Shredder: Kevin Michael Richardson How mutation works is you mutate into the creatute you touch. Splinter was bitten by a rat so he mutated into a rat and the turtles just mutated into larger versions of themselves.
Shredder’s VA is the same VA for Bulkhead in TFP! Also, when you have the time, check out Rise of the TMNT! It’s like TF Animated and drastically changed the formula of TMNT
This is my favorite of the TMNT series I watched....note that I have only seen the up to season three of the original cartoon, both live action Bayverse style movies, and RISE.
Yeah, The VA for Shredder is one of my favourite VA's of all time. Kevin Michael Richardson. You'd probably know him as Bulkhead in TF Prime. Another one of his greatest roles was as The Joker in the animated series, The Batman.
@@ReactZones Man, your reactions are always gold, and this is one of my favourite episodes (because I see both parts as a single one personally) in the season. Hell yeah, I enjoyed it.
This is probably in my top 5 favorite animated series. Good choice. There is originally 10 seasons but ever since covid RUclips and now Netflix decided to combine 2 seasons into 1 making it 5 seasons.
Finally, RUclips actually let us see some TMNT 2012 experience. If you liked the comedy then the show will be amazing, it got a lot of hilarious stuff. But, it will also give some heavy, and I mean really HEAVY drama, despite people bashing the show for being too "kiddish" before and during its premiere. Not a spoiler, but just small fun fact, the show's creator Ciro Nielli originally pitched a story about Splinter dying and Turtles having to survive on their own right from the first episode. Not raising cartoons bar beforehand, just saying the crew behind it knew and had passion about what they were doing. And yes, Shredder is voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, the guy who also voiced Bulkhead in Transformers Prime.
AHHHHHHH! I'm so happy someone else gets to enjoy the awesomeness that is the 2012 TMNT! This rendition of the turtles is BY FAR my favorite and one of the BEST adaptations of them! They are still children and they act like it while still juggling adult responsibilities that you'll see age them through the series. The character development for all those involved is done beautifully. I also love that they incorporate Japanese folklore, history, and culture heavily. It makes it feel true to them being ninjas. Please, PLEASE stick with this series. You won't regret it! 🐢🐢🐢🐢🐀
Just a heads up for this series Leo’s voice actor changes in the series about halfway but it’s a good change in my opinion not saying that this one is bad
Yeah there are basically 2 stories on why Splinter and the Turtles mutate the way they do. One is they just become humanoid versions of there original selves. Splinter is sometimes a normal rat who just becomes a giant talking rat like the turtles become giant talking turtles, 2003 series, live action movies, mutant mayhem. The other is the mutagen changes them into hybrids of there original forms and the creatures they were most recently in contact with, Splinter the random rat, the turtles Human Splinter, 80's turtles, this series
The sound of my childhood and one of my favorite renditions of TMNT! And no its not Husk, its Jumba from Lilo and Stich! ironically, Donnie is Ruben from Lilo and Stich to name one of his many roles, Including Raph in the 80s!
This was and still is a staple in my childhood I had the biggest crush on april then I also love that the person who voiced bulkhead in tf prime voices shredder
@@nosti_hate I say 2003 & 90s movie splinter are tied with second place. Cause they seem to me anyway more mentor than father figure not saying they weren't father figures but compared to 2012 Splinter nah they perfectly balanced the father & mentor roles imo
Hell yeah, 2k12 TMNT!! If you already enjoyed what the first two episodes had to offer, you're absolutely going to love this show, it only gets better as it progresses for the most part! ^^ (btw, Splinter did not fuse with the rat, rather mutagen in this show works off DNA: whatever you mutate into is dictated by whatever DNA is added into the mix or you last touched, so for Splinter it was the rat that touched his feet, for the turtles it was Splinter himself before his mutation so human DNA and for Snake it was the weeds he was standing in)
This show was a important part of my childhood and i love seeing people love it like i did can't wait for your reactions it's crazy it's taking so long for people to react to this series more and each season gets better an darker especially s3 and 4 aswell having the best fights especially with leo not saying anything tonspoil ofc
Any percentage of different dna is enough to potentially cause a mutation incorporating that dna. The turtles were likely picked up by humans being they were from a pet store, leaving some human dna on them. Splinter touched the rat for a second and got rat dna on him. The mutagen took that and went ham
I know this is just a single comment but that opening shot of New York reminds me to ask if you could react to Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes. It’s been a while since I’ve watched the show but it is genuinely one of the most mature ‘kids’ cartoons (even more than prime I’d say) but it’s really epic and not super drab like other superhero shows, definitely recommend checking it out (eventually)
yeah this was a great tmnt show trust me you will like how they do the turtles and shredder and the other characters April is a good character she goes through a bit of a arc
This was my Turtles show. The one that made me a fan. Got into your channel through your Transformers Animated reactions, and a lot of that show's crew worked on this, so I'm excited to see you react to it.
The va for Mikey is the same for Beast Boy, and Donnie is actually voiced by the same va for Raph in the 80s show
And don't forget he was Yacko Warner and Pinky
Mikey va also voice kevin from ben 10
And they both love pizza

your gonna love what happens throughout the series, mutants, ninjas, robots, kraang, and mayhem
I still refuse to believe that NY is that empty at night every night, but this version of the tmnt has the best comedy in my opinion
I ain't gonna cap, besides the 2003 version, the 2012 version has to be one of the best version of the TMNT.
I love rise but 2012 will always be my favourite
@@trillionwins2028probably same for me, though both Raphs have a special place in my heart

Fair warning, a lot of these episodes can get pretty damn DARK, so you should probably prepare yourself.
Just a heads up for this series Leo’s voice actor changes in the series about halfway but it’s a good change in my opinion not saying that this one is bad
24:18 Kevin Michael Richardson
Watched like 4 seasons of this as a kid, this show has a lot of cool stuff (and a top 5 cartoon intro of all time)
Yeah there are basically 2 stories on why Splinter and the Turtles mutate the way they do.

I still watch this show almost every day, I’m never gonna get tired of it! I still have the toys of them that you can’t get anymore.
The sound of my childhood and one of my favorite renditions of TMNT!
And no its not Husk, its Jumba from Lilo and Stich! ironically, Donnie is Ruben from Lilo and Stich to name one of his many roles, Including Raph in the 80s!
You finally watch this series :)
This was and still is a staple in my childhood
I had the biggest crush on april then
I also love that the person who voiced bulkhead in tf prime voices shredder
Voice of shredder also did BULKHEAD from Prime :D
The last thing he tuched was a rat and turned into one because of it, and the tutles tuched splinter, who was a human and mutated into humans
My favorite show thank you for watching it
The first ever CG TMNT series.
This show has the best Splinter period no debate
What abt 2003 Splinter? He's also good
@@nosti_hate I say 2003 & 90s movie splinter are tied with second place.
Cause they seem to me anyway more mentor than father figure not saying they weren't father figures but compared to 2012 Splinter nah they perfectly balanced the father & mentor roles imo
Shredder is OP
"And like weeds, he's hard to get rid of"
Man, you have no idea
Hell yeah, 2k12 TMNT!! If you already enjoyed what the first two episodes had to offer, you're absolutely going to love this show, it only gets better as it progresses for the most part! ^^

LETS GO! So hyped. Much nostalgia. You’re watching the best tmnt.
I found the entire series on dvd and bought it without hesitation.
YESSSS!!!!! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I've BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO REACT TO THIS!!!!!! 😁😁😁😁

This show was a important part of my childhood and i love seeing people love it like i did can't wait for your reactions it's crazy it's taking so long for people to react to this series more and each season gets better an darker especially s3 and 4 aswell having the best fights especially with leo not saying anything tonspoil ofc

Mikey is my favorite. I relate to him the most.
Yes im very excited, keep reacting to this show as it does improve every season
You started watching the 2012 series!? You've got yourself a new subscriber.

Buckle up and enjoy the ride, because this series is going places.
This show is amazing and it has my favorite version of Shredder and Splinter.
