Robots will always be in the hearts and minds of the Japanese. They love them and one day the entire nation will probably be replaced with them. Today they are one step closer to that goal with ROPID.

Able to run, jump, take voice commands, move his mouth when talking, and remind everyone of an early prototype for Astro Boy this little robot will probably be the Teddy Ruxpin of a new generation.

At least until it gets reprogrammed for evil.

^ I thought LilSparky said that the 4th one was better than the 3rd one.

Yeah, I guess I wasn’t clear. I meant the last one (as in 3rd one during that post)

4th one was sort of better, but it still was bad.

It was this one.

The original TMNT comics were very dark and were intended for adult audiences.  Then it became a kids show and lost all its ‘edge’.  Then it become 1 good live action film, one decent live action film, and one really bad live action film.  Plus the recent animated one which was decent.

Lets also not forget the 100 different video game versions that come out.  Like the original for NES where you either died by electric sea week or got run over.  My childhood was pure hell.

Yeah, I know about the original comics, but still nobody really thinks about that when you hear TMNT. The games usually are fun, especially the older ones. I used to play in the arcade, Turtles in Time, that was a lot of fun. The new movie was okay, it was a bit childish to me. I liked that fight scene in the rain though. The 1st live action movie is actually good, it’s dark, funny, and has that kid feel to it at the same time. The 2nd one was more childish, but it’s fun to watch here and there. The last one is pretty much garbage, but there was a 4th one too (With the girl turtle) It went to VHS, that was bad too, but probably better than the 3rd one lol.

My day has been ruined now.  Finding out that there is a 4th TMNT live action film that sucked even more than the 3rd.


he’s kinda cute they should make a girl


OMG thats is soo cool! i want one for christmas!

^ Hahaha, aw. I never really liked TMNT. But yeah… turtles are adorable, especially the one in Nemo. SQUIRT! My friend used to call me that because I have ‘big eyes’. ><


^ I like it, it adds to their silly character. Showing that they’re just a bunch of weird human-like turtles with great fighting skills. Donatello is my favorite.


^ I still find it weird how the creator named them after Renaissance artists. ><


I like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. (original kind)


I like turtles too ;D


^why yes, yes it is.
