This was a really hard decision as I find every turtle vehicle unique in their own ways, so ultimately they all feel the best. The best in abilities I would say is the turtle tank, as it has the most functions and gadgets but my favourite mostly for nostalgic reasons would be the shell raiser and turtle truck. I love the interior designs of both those vehicles a lot and the close proximity of everything inside so you can really admire all the small details. I thought the garbage cannon from 2012 and the big extendable nunchucks on the side of the turtle truck were absolutely sick.

Okay, so, just one question...

Does anybody else want to know and/or speculate on what the heck the other "Shell Raisers" are??

Because in the s2 episode "Vengeance is Mine," we see the weapons options for the Shellraiser other than hot compressed garbage and manhole covers. We see Donnie utilize both "Smoke Screen" and "Pizza Grease," both of which are pretty self-explanatory.

But what about "Snaggletooth?" Or "Rad Weekend?" Even "Das Boot?"

I think we can all figure out what "Poop T.N.T" is supposed to be (*cue stinkiest explosion known to mankind*)... ("Why am I smelling... ze baby poopz?") hehehe, anyway *whistles and walks away from the public property I just ruined*

Are these other ones a reference to something that I'm just too young to get? Is it like a callback to earlier iterations of our scaly shelled friends?? I'm so curious.

S.H.E.L.L.D.O.N is the best in my humble opinion. He has his own feelings and interests outside of Donnie. He joins the Purple Dragons for a bit, my point is, he has his own personality and is his own character.

And we continue on catch up day! I will get through all of these...just might take me into June though! 😅

Day 12: BEST TURTLE VEHICLE

This question is just not fair. Have you seen the crazy vehicles this franchise has cooked up? This is like picking your favorite child.

I love the Battleshell from 03. Both versions. Love how it's disguised, especially version 2. The Turtle Tunneler is just an awesome idea. Seeing it in action is awesome, I wish they used it more!

And I have to give 2012 a shoutout here. The Shellraiser is also awesome. Intimidating as hell and the fact they made it from a subway car is just a cool design feature. And that sucker was made to last! Plus...really cool name

But...if I must choose...

The original Turtle Van

Is it iconic as hell? Yes but that is only a small bit of why I love it so much. This thing gets made fun of so much by other series but I really don't think many people remember all the cool stuff this thing can do!

All Don's tracking equipment is in it

Top cannon

Twin side cannons

A launcher of manhole covers (and various other things)

Converts to both a boat and a submarine with only a few buttons.

Has survived guns, lasers and alien technology.

Is one of the most reliable of Don's inventions
