__NOTOC__ TABLE OF APPEARANCES This table shows a list of organisations and their appearances on the nine major incarnations of the TMNT franchise: ? = Unknown, N = No, & Y = Yes. This table is not automatically generated, so please add new organisations as they are added to the article. This list is of appearances, a brief mentioning or reference is not counted. BROTHERHOOD The Brotherhood are a Lizard-like species living in an alternate dimension. CHANNEL 3 Channel 3 is the TV channel for which April O'Neil works as a Investigative Reporter in the First TMNT Movie . During one of her stories, she gets too close to uncovering the Foot Clan , leading Shredder to send thugs after her, and her to hide in the sewers and encounter the Turtles. April's job and the TV network are not mentioned in the second and third movies, it is unknown if she still works there. CHANNEL 6 Channel 6 is the fictional TV channel in New York City for which April O'Neil works as a News Reporter in the 1987 TMNT Cartoon and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comics. The news studio is located in a building with a big '' 6 '' on it. Besides April, the known staff of Channel 6 is Burne Thompson , the boss of the Channel, Vernon Fenwick , a reporter who rivals with April and tries to steal her stories, and Irma Langinstein , a secretary. In the episode placed an explosive device in Channel 6's basement and trapped April, Irma, Veron, and Burne in one of the offices. He then forces the Turtles to trade for Krang , who he believe they have captured (although in reality, Krang was seized by Drakus, a former friend and the original designer of the Technodrome who Krang sold out years ago). Although the Turtles were successful in rescuing Krang, Shredder still blew up the building. Fortunately, Splinter was able to free the hostages before the building exploded. Burne Thompson blamed the Turtles for the destruction of the Channel 6 building, and as a result the Turtles became wanted outlaws. While most of the Channel 6 crew moved to a smaller building, April became a freelance reporter. FEDERATION Humanity in the other side of the galaxy has built up a large and prosperous empire, despite being one of the youngest and weakest races in biological terms. The Human Federation is actually not a democracy as its name would suggest, but a military dictatorship. The former government steadily gave more and more power to the military due to neighboring races' (particuraly the Triceraton s') threats until it had finally taken over in all but name. The Federation has some of the largest borders and frontiers of all the intelligent races in the galaxy, due to colonization and alliances. They are ready to make treaties and support other species and as such have actually earned a reputation for being one of the most trustworthy species in all of space. They can also develop technology themselves, a relative rarity. The Turtles traveled to the border and backwater planet D'Hoonnib in the Sidayon system during their adventure in space. The Federation appears looking for Professor Honeycutt . After losing Honeycutt to the Triceratons, General Blanque led an all out assault on the Triceraton homeworlds. Yet the Fugitoid got out of both enemies grasp. Months later after a Triceraton invasion on Earth where Professor Honeycutt was thought to be there, the Federation made a deal with an Earth Agent named Bishop if he captures the Fugitoid, all aliens leave Earth alone. When Honeycutt was captured and torn open to download the telepotal plans from his brain. Then their fleets ambushed waiting Triceratons in orbit. But it was Honeycutt's plan that stopped the battle by hacking into the systme to upload a virus to the Federation fleet. Both leaders of the factions were disposed and the species with under a banner of peace. Trivia
FOOT CLAN GUARDIANS The Guardians are the human allies and defenders of the Utrom s, serving as the counterparts of the Foot Clan commanded by the Shredder . The Guardians are traditionally honorable warriors, armed with high tech weaponry and skilled far beyond the levels of the Foot. The common outift of a Guardian is a blue overcoat with black shirt, pants, and boots, as well as the medallion that is the symbol of their order. Guardians also wear sunglasses, and like the Foot were a group of ninjas established when the Utroms landed on Earth. Among the ranks of the modern Guardians were Hamato Yoshi and his childhood friend Yukio Mashimi. Yoshi was Guardian Prime, but Mashimi was passed over and eventually joined the Foot. However, due to his failure to advance, he was unaware of secret escape pods that allowed the Utroms to escape Shredder's wrath. Yoshi was later hunted down by the Foot, and he died rather than betraying the Utroms. The Guardians later proved worthy allies of the Turtles, aiding them in battle against the Foot. Due to their disappearance coinsiding with that of Splinter , the Turtles sought out the Guardians while looking for him. They found him, and discovered the history of the Guardians and the Utroms. The Guardians later accompanied the Utroms and Professor Honeycutt back to the Utrom homeworld. MUTANIMALS Thr Mutanimals ( Portmanteau of ''mutant'' and ''animals'') were a team of mutant composed of Mondo Gecko , Ray Fillet , Leatherhead , Merdude , Dreadmon , Jagwar , and their fellow sentient animal-like heroes Wingnut And Screwloose . However, Wingnut and Screwloose are no mutants, they come from the fictional planet ''Huanu''. They were created for the series The Mighty Mutanimals, which was a spinoff of their '' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures '' published between 1991 and 1993 by Archie Comics . Creators Stephen Murphy and Ryan Brown created the team based on their characters and those of other artists such as Dean Clarrain and Steve Lavigne. After the cancellation of their series, the entire team died in a massacre. This event made news because it was a surprising occurrence in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures , a TMNT comic primarily aimed at kids. The story was also surprising because it had involved Time Travel and therefore could easily have undone the deaths, and yet did not. In fact, future versions of some of the Turtles said that the Mutanimals had died at the wrong time, that their deaths already involved an alteration of history. The crux of the story was that the villanous Null was attempting to destroy both the present and the future Earth, and apparently had knowledge of future events enabling him to do damage to the time stream. Null's ultimate fate (along with any chance of the Mutanimals' return) was never addressed due to the cancellation of the tite. Because these comics were different in style and storyline and came from an alternate publisher, they are not part of official Turtles canon. PURPLE DRAGONS The Purple Dragons (or Purple Dragon Gang) is a Fictional Street Gang in several of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles continuities. They appear in the Original Comic Books and the 2003 Animated Series . They did not appear in the movies, though the Foot Clan of the movies somewhat resembled a street gang. The Purple Dragon Gang is from the East Side in New York City . In all continuities, the Purple Dragons are the toughest street gang on the East Side, and are, in fact, the only street gang that receives any attention. They often have some connection to The Shredder , though not always. In the first issue of the Original Comic , the Turtles fight the Purple Dragons. This comic is the only TMNT version where the Purple Dragons do not work for the Shredder. In the 1987 Cartoon and the Archie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures , the Turtles save Channel 6 news reporter April O'Neil from a street gang that bears a remarkable resemblance to the Purple Dragons, though it is not named. This gang is in the employ of Shredder, though they are seen only in the first episode. It is from the members of this gang that the Shredder selects the humans that he will later transform into Bebop And Rocksteady . The Turtles also occassionally fight several street thugs that may or may not be members from Bebop and Rocksteady's former gang. In the 2003 TMNT Cartoon , the Purple Dragons are, along with the Foot Clan and the Mafia, one of three powerful factions in New York that serve Oroku Saki, the Shredder. The gang leader of the Purple Dragons is Hun , Shredder's right-hand-man. While he was gone, Dragon Face took up his position, but went back to second-in-command after Hun came back. For much of the first season, the Purple Dragons were the most obvious enemies of the Turtles. They were also the hated enemies of Casey Jones , having killed his father when they couldn't pay protection money. During the 4th season, Hun works on bringing Purple Dragons to new heights, bringing them from street thugs to a force on par with the Foot. ROCK SOLDIERS The Rock Soldiers, sometimes called "Stone Warriors", are an army of stone-like aliens native to Dimension X . They are led by General Traag , who is under the command of Krang . Physically, Rock Soldiers look like giant humanoids made of a smooth red-orange rock, and they wear a helmet and boots. They carry Dimension X weapons, and their rock-like solidity makes them formitable in hand-to-hand combat. In addition to the 1987 cartoon series and the TMNT Adventures comics, they were featured in one videogame, . TCRI TCRI is the front company the Utrom s use to interact with humanity without revealing themselves. TCRI is responsible for accidentally losing the canister of mutagen that caused the mutation of the Turtles and Splinter . TGRI The equivalent of TCRI in the film. As the producers of the film wanted to shed all alien elements from the movie, TGRI is a regular corporation. They are responsible for loosing the canister of ooze that caused the mutation of the Turtles and Splinter . When the Foot Clan learned this fact, they abducted TGRI head scientist Professor Jordan Perry to force him to recreate the formula, and used it to create Tokka And Rahzar . TRICERATON The Triceratons are an alien race who resemble anthropomorphic Triceratops , and breathe a mix of nitrogen and sulfur. Outside of their native environments, they wear protective face helmets to provide them with necessary atmosphere. They destroyed their home planet for some unexplained reason. The Triceraton Empire is a brutal society ruled by the despotic Prime Leader Zanramon . They wage war against the Federation, their sworn enemies. The Triceratons also have a serious combat thirst, like the Romans of Earth, and thus pit alien creatures against each other in coliseums. Despite its bloody appearance, the Triceraton Empire was once a grand republic, until Zanramon took over. The Empire's reign was upset during an attempt to capture Professor Honeycutt , a robot scientist who had befriended the Ninja Turtles. Hoping to steal the Professor's teleporter device, the Triceratons became embroiled in fresh battle with the Federation. During this time, they captured the Turtles and sent them first to prison, then to the gladitorial matches. It was in these barbaric surroundings that the turtles met Traximus , a noble warrior of the Triceraton Republic. He had been thrown into the games when Zanramon took over, and sought to break free. With help from the Turtles, who stole Zanramon's cruiser and then escaped back to Earth, Traximus and co. escaped. Traximus next appeared in the Battle Nexus, competing and looking for allies. He helped the Turtles in a fight against the evil Drako . Curiously, Traximus did not require a breathing mask in the Battle Nexus, for reasons which remain unknown. The Triceratons trailed Honeycutt to Earth, where they invaded and did battle with the Turtles. They captured Donatello to extract the information. But Donatello couldn't tell were was Honeycutt. However, once it was determined that the professor had left Earth, the aliens departed. Unfortunately, Honeycutt just then returned, sparking another conflict between the arriving Federation and the returning Triceratons. However, Honeycutt managed to end the battle by infecting both sides with a virus. Zanramon ordered the Federation ships destroyed but any ship coming would be affected too. Mozar thought it was not honorable. It was then that Traximus' rebellion attacked. Dethroning Zanramon with the support of Commander Mozar, Zanramon's second-in-command, Traximus destroyed the leader's chair to symbolize the end of the empire and that a Triceraton senate will replace the dictorship. He then helped the Federation, and both Zanramon as well as General Blanque the former leader of the Federation forces were both imprisoned to help ensure the peace. The Triceratons also appear in the 1984 TMNT Comic Book . UTROM Y'LYNTIAN The Y’Lyntian Empire was the most powerful on Earth thousands of years ago. Their power came from a crystal named the Sun Crystal, which fell on their island during an ancient Meteor Shower . The power they learned to harness from the Sun Crystal allowed their society to quickly advance beyond all others. However, the Y'Lyntian's superiority eventually turned to arrogance, as they enslaved members of the less advanced human tribes and mutated them into forms better suited to do their bidding: water-breathing fish mutants to control the seas, winged avian mutants to patrol the skies, and beast-of-burden mutants to toil for them. However, not all Y'Lyntians supported this abusive way of life, and a resistance movement formed. It never did manage to overthrow the powerful and corrupt Y'Lyntian government. One day, the lower human tribes, sick of being abused by the Y'Lyntians, banded together and launched a common assault on the island. The Y'Lyntians had no trouble repelling the first wave using the power of the Sun Crystal, but the tides of the battle turned when their slaves seized the opportunity to rebel against their masters and destroy the Sun Crystal. Without the Crystal, the Y'Lyntian island collapsed and sank into the sea. Some Y’Lyntians did escape their island on time, taking with them a chunk of the Sun Crystal, which they renamed the Moon Crystal. They hid from the other human tribes and built an Underground City. However, they soon found that the Moon Crystal didn't have the power to sustain them for long, and without their slaves they wouldn't endure. They thus decided to go into suspended animation until the next solar alignment would re-powered their crystals, thousands of years in the future. Only the High Mage (a.k.a. the Entity) stayed awake to guard the City. Over time, humanity forgot about the Y'Lyntians in all but legends, where they became the fabled Atlantis . The mutant slaves and their descendants hid from humanity and were forgotten as well. The Underground City remained hidden under what became known as New York City . Only the Turtles stumbled upon an old abandoned Y'Lyntian underground outpost, and eventually onto the City itself. When the planetary alignment was near, the dormant Y'Lyntians awakened, and resolved to use their newly recharged power to raise their Underground City to the surface — an event that would greatly ravage the current Earth surface, killing billions — and once again dominate the other human civilisations. However, the Turtles, with help from a surviving member of the Y'Lyntian resistance, managed to destroy the Moon Crystal and with it the Underground City, putting an end to the Y'Lyntian threat. It is possible however that the group of Y'Lyntians who escaped the island's destruction and built the Underground City were not the only survivors of the fall of their Empire. Other Y'Lyntian cities or outposts could still endure, hidden away elsewhere on Earth. The Y'Lyntians were first encountered in the episode Notes From The Underground . However, their full history only became known in The Entity Below . The fish mutants were met in the episode Sons Of The Silent Age and the avian mutants in A Wing And A Prayer . The beast-of-burden mutants were never officially encountered, although their appearance is similar to that of the unnamed creature being hunted in The Monster Hunter . |
