Rise is just like “we must have the scariest versions of all the classic TMNT villains”

I mean Shredder was a demon, the Krang were terrifying & caused an apocalypse & even though we don’t directly see the Triceratons in Rise, Krang Prime’s throne is made from a Triceraton skull showing that the Rise versions of Triceratons are ACTUAL GIANTS.

People say that it’s interesting that the Rise Turtles are one of the only versions of the Turtles that were mutated on purpose but honestly these boys would not be able to survive their villains without Draxum making them to be literal super soldiers

TUMBLR don’t worry abt it don’t worry about ME I’m just having,,,so many ideas

Abt Rise Triceratons. Now Triceraton (singular). And Raph, of course

The fact that the invasion canonically takes place just a couple months after they defeated the Shredder will always be harrowing to me. Like dang. What a year for them.

Triceraton height guesstimate

I went back to the Rottmnt movie for the umpteenth time to get some screenshots of Krang one's mech suit for drawing references when I got a glimpse of the Triceraton skull Krang One uses as a throne. And that got me thinking, How tall would the Triceratons have had to be in order to match their absolutely huge skulls?

After doing some guesstimating with Leo and Krang one as a reference to compare heights, and using the 2k3 TMNT Triceratons. I have gotten some numbers. Probably not accurate at all, but it's all in the name of fun xD

So. Leo is 1.65m or 5'5" in canon height. Krang one's guesstimated height is about 7.15m or 23'5". (Does he have a canon height??) Triceraton's height I'm guessing is around 55.2 meters or 181'1". That's my take on it at any rate. Do with this information as you'd like 😂

On another note. How the shell were the boys supposed to fight those monsters??? Like holy shell. Donnie would have had to get uranium and make them mech suits or something, yikes, terrifying just thinking about it.... And does the skull throne mean that the Krang have already killed off the Triceratons? Or is that just a hunting price?? Who knows, it's an interesting thought none the less.

Also if the Krang actually has managed to kill off this gigantic alien race, that makes them all the more terrifying an enemy... food for thought.

Anyway, until next time! // Wick♡

This had to have been a cool fight- anyways new chapter of "Hey! The Krang Rang (Don't Pick Up)" is out!

My friend made me aware that there is a single Triceraton woman in the entirety of the tmnt animated compendium, She's in a straight-to-tv movie for like maybe 15 minutes, and it seems like there isn't a whole lot of fanart of her so,,, I had to remedy that.

In other news I've been plagued by the "becomes a fan of an incredibly niche character" disease so please wish me a speedy recovery lmao.

regarding your thoughts on every TMNT iteration going through punishment, your not far off. However, I think it’s safe to say that if Rise was gonna continue in some way, those versions would’ve also experienced more and more trials as they go on. The Shredder was their first true opponent that challenged them. They almost lost their lives, they did lose Karai, their old home was destroyed, and Splinter’s life was at stake. They even lost their first weapons, before making new ones with their ninpo. Then the Kraang invades and I’m almost completely convinced they’d have Leo go through an angst arc of self blame and treating himself harshly before finding forgiveness he can accept, and everyone else facing their own struggles. Plus, threats like Rat King, Bishop(if they wanted him to be a villain), the Triceratons(if they’re not extinct), and possible Kraang return would’ve added things. Just got me thinking lol

Good point! The boys have been through so much, and their future will open up many terrifying doors as well! No doubt about it.

But one thing I appreciate about Rise is that those terrifying episodes are spaced out and are few and far between. The majority of the show is spent with the boys just, living. So let's say that Rise is statistically 80% turtles just living their lives and 20% life changing/devastating events. Now compare it to something like 2003. That series was like 98% life changing events and 2% turtles just living their lives,....with a 2% margin of error. 😒 (I'm sorry. They just always seemed to be going through it!) That was a real frustration I had with that iteration, although I still love it. 💜 2012 has a much better ratio, but for me it never really hit that sweet spot of just allowing the boys to exist for an extended period time without their lives getting uprooted and demolished. It ends with Donnie as a complete cyborg and Leo being double mutated. After all of that hard work, I think they deserved so much more. Anyways... Who's to say if/when the show continues that the ratio of living life to devastation will change. It could get more serious for sure. But as it is now, I absolutely appreciate that these boys, for the majority of their time on screen, were able to smell the roses. Thanks for the ask. 😉💜 Ps.

I'm leaning towards the Triceratons being extinct as the Kraang leader was sitting on one of their skulls.

☠️RIP

Chapter Synopsis: Donnie wakes up on a spaceship, Mikey gets a prickly feeling, Raph remembers something painful, Leo comes up with a plan, and Yuichi finds himself even more attracted to Leo than he was before.

@tmntaucompetition next chapter as propaganda

I’ve been watching 03 and wanted to do a rise take on triceratons

This guys big, not as big as they actually are implied to be in the show. (As the krang throne is made of a massive triceraton skull) but I imagine he is larger than the krang. So, several Raph’s tall.

His name is Kratos, he is one of the extremely few survivors. Who only survived because they went into hiding and salvaged krang tech to use to protect themselves. The krang have long since left his galaxy but he is still on a mission to eradicate any trace of krang, including their empyrean. He has a distaste for mutants and yōkai since they are the byproduct of krang.

Here's my take on LeatherHead for my Rise!OC explorations! This big boy takes LH as a character and gives him a species swap into a Triceraton! In this version Triceratons grow to Kaiju like proportions if they live in a safe and ample environment, they travel in small herds/family groups and it's very very rare to find one living on it's own. They are extremely social creatures and it takes something egregious to be disowned from one's herd. When they experience extreme stress or trauma their growth becomes stunted, sometimes permanently. Please feel free to hit me up for more Triceraton lore/deets or if you want to use Lux here as inspo for your own alien dino! I'd love to see some!

Some specific Lux Lore under the cut:

Luxor ended up abandoned on earth and was almost instantly taken into government custody. A nearly 7ft tall massive reptile is kinda hard to miss. He gained the pet-name "Leather Head" while in the labs. Triceratons are typically quick to adapt, this ability includes learning new languages/forms of communication. Lux quickly picked up an understanding of his human captors but they never took the time to delve into his sentience/intelligence. He was worth more as a brutish powerhouse.

Lux grew only a foot more while in captivity and his growth stopped permanently after he recovered from his vivisection. The missing toe/arm are the results of a failed gene splicing experiment to see if they could improve his healing/regenerative abilities. The splicing included 1 other captive who has a hand in Lux's eventual escape from the labs. But that's spoilers for now.

Just gonna put this here for right now…. Don’t worry about it it’ll be relevant soon enough

Let’s just say I have big plans

Also fuck cerubus, all my homies hate cerubus

On today's episode of "Why my dreams like that?" I dreamt of Rise turtles having their space episode and triceratons attacking Earth because Donnie adopted/stole a triceraton baby.

His defense? Look at them! Then proceeds to Hold up a baby bigger than his torso as it blows raspberries.

Old rival

Bonus sketches: Leo's reaction

Maybe the arm has other reasons to its design? Hmmm.

*bursts in breathing heavily and slams these guys onto the table*

Im back with a few lil losers!

PLEASE NOTE: I changed Draxum to Oberjarl, meaning K'vathrak no longer holds the position

I can't decide if I should keep Mozar's tail or not

Also I might give the turtles tails later, I dunno :)

Draxum is tired dad #2 I just forgot to add it.

Despite Draxum being busy all day and the boys taking all the chores, Draxum and Splints get to have a few dates.

something may have happened to mozar and now I'm not happy with him

A quick sketch

My dearest fellow tumblr members its all over for you once I figure out how to get the 'next' button lmfao

Other than that, are there any other characters from past tmnt universes that are included? (Leatherhead, Honeycutt, Triceratons, etc)

Hey you! ✨👋 Thanks again for showing interest in my silly AU musings 🥰

Oh the Triceratons are for sure included in the AU. Not sure if they’ll make a direct appearance, like arriving on Earth or anything. If they do it won’t be till much, much later on. I plan for them to get name dropped a number of times and make smaller appearances as they are very much intertwined with the AU.

I have toyed with adding Leatherhead in the mix—I love that big ol’ alligator—and I think I have something in mind for him, but he’d play a small role. He’s an old yokai fella, like at least in his mid 60’s–early 70’s, beat-up, grizzled and built like a BEAST, but be a total nerd with a keen interest in zoology and palaeontology among other things. Oh and he has a heart of gold too. So y’know pretty much copy and paste the 2003 ver of him, tweak him just a little, and wham bam, it’s him 🐊✨

Tbh I haven’t given a whole lot of thought towards Honeycutt and if/how he’d play a role in this AU. At least not at this stage. Come back to me on him 🤔✨

I do think I have a good idea on how to include Armaggon in the AU—albeit at this stage I don’t have much more than a cameo based on an in–show reference planned. Like Leatherhead he’d only play a small role, but he’s gonna be fun to play around with ✨🤩✨. Kinda sad he didn’t make the final cut in the movie—I’d love to read that draft of the script and see how vastly different it is from the final cut we all love and adore 🥲✨
