Daily Baxter Stockman fact Day 67:
According to the description on his 2006 figure box it says he built his cyborg body himself. This information is false of course as it was actually his predecessor Dr. Chaplin who made it for him

Double-Mutated Mikey
Chapter 44: Death of a Mutant
Continued from the short story written by @boots-with-the-fur-club
Prev || Next
The Shredder's Henchmen from TMNT 2003 were parallels of the turtles. Not directly enough that it was on purpose, but they still managed to give the Shredder 4 primary henchmen with personalities that mirror the turtles' base traits of "Leader", "Rude", "Smart", and "Fun". (Also, I love character parallels and always try to finagle them out of any media I can.)
Karai is the most obviously made to mirror Leo. She's The Leader, the obviously favored child henchman with more power and authority than the others. She's a better leader than even the Shredder himself, her soldiers and technicians are better trained and more competent than the Shredder's original forces. It’s made obvious in the show, the increased threat she and her people are to the turtles. She is the closest to Shredder, literally his daughter, but she isn’t treated differently than Shredder’s other high ranking subordinates. She is praised when she succeeds and is punished when she fails, she’s just competent enough to never fully fail. She always has at least a little bit of a win that saves her from the really bad punishments, something she learned from Shredder.
Hun may be more of a parallel to Casey, but Casey is a parallel to Raph, so by the transitive property, Hun is Raph's foil. He's mean and angry and loves a good beatdown and wanton destruction, but he's also loyal and devoted to a fault. Hun is Karai's rival, put in a position of power above others, but Shredder's disrespect for him prevents him from moving up the ranks any more than that. To Shredder, Hun is just a gangster and can be replaced by any other gangster. To Shredder, Hun is just a ball of anger and muscle that can be thrown at a problem until it stops moving. Hun is treated more like a dog than a person, someone that can follow orders but not think for himself. But Hun is too loyal, too devoted to see that his master doesn’t respect him. Hun sees Shredder as a man who has earned his power, money, and respect, which is why he immediately turns once Shredder’s revealed to be an Utrom, that’s not a Man Who’s Earned His Place, that’s an alien who cheated his way to the top of humanity. Once Shredder is gone in season 5 - Once free from the “stupid gangster” box Shredder kept him in, Hun really steps up his villain game and turns the Purple Dragons from just a street gang to a proper organized crime syndicate.
Stockman “does machines” and also various other crimes against nature as desired. He's a genius unchecked by morals, and who seems to think caring for other people is a weakness and a detriment. He uses his intelligence to get fame and praise, he doesn't think "how can I use science to make the world a better place" or even "science/knowledge is valuable in and of itself", at best he thinks "what problem do other people have that I can fix and get praise for". And that mindset lead him to Shredder, who gives Stockman praise until his usefulness is outweighed by his ego. Donnie has a tempered ego, grounded by his brothers and his friends who praise him for his successes but who also care about his physical and mental wellbeing, but also an altruistic nature nurtured in him by Splinter. If Stockman’s mom hadn’t died, if he’d had anyone else to keep him grounded, if he had anything other than his own ego fueling him, he wouldn’t have ended up in Shredder’s employ, wouldn't have ended up in pieces (also, in Fast Forward, the moment he does get someone to genuinely care about him, he switches sides and starts, like, working on a farm for his bestie).
So, who's the Fun one then, you might ask? Why it’s Dr. Chaplin! He is a seemingly innocent and naive scientist, but is actually just as evil as everyone around him - he's just so nice to everyone! Even people who are mean to him or exploiting him or even try to get him killed - except of course he's also fine with destroying the world, enslaving humanity, and perpetrating intergalactic colonialism. He's naturally gifted, and seems almost desperate for praise and attention and acceptance, so much so, he’s willing to theoretically participate in multiple genocides. He's so happy to just be included, be asked to do things, be a part of a team, or even be put in charge. He just goes along with whatever will give him that attention, that praise, that acceptance, no matter the cost. He understands that other people are people and focuses more on making other's happy over his own desires, because he needs it, he needs them to like him, or at least, put up with his presence, and if making murder-bots will do that, then he's making murder-bots. He's willing to devote any and all talent and skill to anyone willing to give him a chance or who he can look up to. He's looking for a found family and doesn't care if they're the bad guys, he just needs to belong. A real Chaotic Neutral type of guy! And if Mikey didn’t have his family to give him affirmation about his place in the universe and direct his natural talents in a productive direction? Well, he would probably also devote himself to the first guy to come along and promise any level of acceptance.
TMayNT Day 3: Favorite Henchman! and TMayNT Day 15: Best Karai
Combining these two because it's convenient for me
I love Dr Chaplin because he's just SO eager. He was super excited to work along side Baxter Stockman (even built the guy a new robot body meanwhile stockman is literally trying to get ride of him), and he made giant robot warriors to look like Karai before he even properly met her. Then when it's Karai leading the Foot, he's just like, "oh you want me to create a weapon to fight ghosts and demons? Yeah sure no problem, give me a few hours." and he DID IT. He also broke into April's apparment to save Karai (she didn't need it). Dude would happily walk into hell for her and I like that about him lol. Good thing for him Karai isn't likely to go there.
Which brings me to: I like 03 Karai, because she has a lot of honor, and you can see her struggle with the fact that her adoptive father isn't as honorable as she thought, and she has this internal conflict of obeying the Shredder and doing what she thinks is right and helping the turtles. Then when Shredder gets imprisoned and she feels honor bond to avenge him, and looks to be heading full force to the Evil side, but then thanks to the tribunal arc and the Turtles Forever movie, she finally breaks free from the obligations to the Shredder. I just really like her character and the development she has.

2003 AU but Chaplin got the job as Baxter's assistant instead of April
And when it comes to him discovering what he was really doing with the mousers, its the opposite of what Baxter expected
Baxter: suffice it to say, my army of mousers will make me a very rich & powerful man
Chaplin: Cool I'm in
Baxter: So brilliant yet so nai- wait what?
Chaplin: this is not a deal breaker, I'm totally down for this
Baxter: ...
Baxter: You realize I'm going to rob banks with these & possibly kill people right?
Chaplin: Sounds cool to me. Need help?
Baxter: ...

least favorite thing about them
He likes Karai's annoying aas

Would it be weird to say Shredder? Like I can see Chaplin acing a mission & attempting to high five Saki just for him to awkwardly reciprocate it.
random headcanon
He's a hardcore gamer & overall nerd that has every comic book in existence
unpopular opinion
He's really underrated & I low-key don't like that
song i associate with them
favorite picture of them
Loser boyfriend material
Best ships in TMNT canon are the human ships from '03.
April and Casey were so cute and sweet. They even started not liking each other, but it was soon clear that both put in the effort to get to know and understand the other person. April slowly realized that Casey was not just a brutish idiot, but that he had a heart of gold and would do everything in his power to protect not just her and all of his friends and family, but all of humanity if he needs to. And Casey let April be "better" than him without taking offense, she was smarter and even became better at ninjustu than he was, and he just loved her more for it. He didn't have to completely change who he was for her to love him, he still had a temper and was still oblivious a lot of the time, but he was honest, earnest, and kind; she didn't settle for a violent man-child, she got herself a himbo. And April didn't look down on Casey for any of his faults and would even beat herself up for not being a perfect girlfriend for him. They were just perfect. Not starting out perfect, but becoming perfect together.
And then there's Karai and Chaplin!
Karai shows up, kicks ass, proves she's better than Shredder in every way (but being better than him is also why she's so loyal to him, don't get me started). And then they introduce Chaplin, who's just a puppy dog of a man, making giant indestructible robots in the likeness of Karia (said he'd change it if they made her uncomfortable), then proceeded to be just, the most loyal, devoted man ever. His girl want's to take over the world? Get her alien dad back into space? Murder innocent people? Steal alien technology from the government? Invent new magi-tech to fight a demon-zombie? He'll do whatever she asks, whether she loves him back or not, he's fine being her pet scientist.
