so the utrom in the original continuity had only been stuck on Earth for like… 20 years
as opposed to the centuries that they'd been stranded in the 03 cartoon
i'm guessing the ooze is the juice of a power cell or something of that nature?
wild, turtles and rat mutated by getting alien battery acid on them
cause the only things the utrom could salvage from the wreckage of their ship were exosuits and the power supply. makes sense that the ooze is just fluid from an alien battery. Which feels a lot more sensible and narratively fine that the mutagen is literally just an accident, not any intentional creation or weapon.
i kinda like that in the tmnt universe a transmat/teleportation technology is extremely ground breaking and could be the game changer of wars. And that the utrom already know the tech, showing how much more advanced their tech is.
[Meanwhile the magic fuckers with their magic fight club already have effectively teleportation/portals they just only use it for fightclub and keep it very secret cause they dont want anyone to ruin fight club]
