Considering the character was originally created just to get jobbed by the Turtles, he's really come along way.
And of course the 80's cartoon didn't help with anything:
That is part of its charm, its never as dark or brutal as the Fox/4kids series, it still manages to not pull any of it punches either. It masterfully walks a fine line between being highly silly with plenty of nods and homages to the 80's series and Archie comics, while staying within the realm...
I really hope the real thing, if a mirage repaint/remold, looks close like that; becuase honestly I think that digibash has actually sold me on her conceptionally.
While I agree, I'll also say that the Mirage molds works better then I thought it would, robot mode is pretty spot on if that is anything close to how the real one would look.
I think I have slightly more issue with Sigma in X then I do Wily in Classic. Like Classic is basically a Saturday Morning Cartoon world; everythign is bright and colorful, all most all the fodder enemies are "cute", so Wily the mad Scientist being behind everything, doesn't really bother me all...
Going back to this, I've decided to rewatch some of the 2012 series; and I think it handles this better overall with balancing new and old and lore hooks. We get the Kraang, a blended take on the Utroms and Krang, while still being completely new. We keep their connection to the origins of the...
As I said in the legacy thread, to me the be chonky boxing glove-esque hands are his signature look. It'd be like making RiD X-Brawn outta Ironhide, he'd be missing his big strong arm. I think its possible to make an updated version of him but keep some of his bulk in his limbs, he doesn't need...
Though I will warn you; at least on Paramount+, the first season is not in air date order so continuity is all over the place. But Netflix seems to have everything in the correct order.
You can only be so original with properties like these. Beware The Batman also went for a similar route of trying to be more original and not rely in the usual Bat villains, and also died a quick death. I think the series might have worked better if the Foot Clan had been introduced earlier, and...
I'd prefer Armada Sideswipe to have the big boxing glove-esque hands, to me they are the most iconic part of his design, as otherwise he doesn't have a really interesting robot mode. But more likely they'll just make him a Jazz retool.
