TMNT #5

(12.33 out of 37 pages)




The Turtles start fighting the soldiers.





The group flees up a stairwell, but finds themselves trapped on the roof.





The Turtles are shocked to find themselves in a futuristic city. Finding an abandoned house, the robot explains that this is the planet D'hoonib, part of the Federation Territory, and he's never heard of this planet "Earth".

The Turtles explain how they were accidently caught in a strange device and ended up here. Introducing himself as Professor Honeycutt, the robot explains how he was working on a similar technology.



Honeycutt much preferred to focus on constructing the Mentawave helmet, which allowed psychic abilities. He'd managed to create a working version, when he saw SAL tangled in some power cables.





Dubbed the Fugitoid, he's been on the run ever since (unbeknownst to Honeycutt, Blanque is aware of what really happened and plans to force him to work on the transmat, as robots have no legal standing).

The Fugitoid was actually created by Eastman and Laird, before the TMNT as a character for a series of back-up stripes, but that didn't pan out.

The group decides to stick together, as getting off D'hoonib is their best chance of survival.







Our heroes are pinned down by enemy fire, when the roof explodes.








The Turtles fly after the Triceratons, but the perimeter guards at their base cause them to crash.



As the Federation and Triceratons fight, the Turtles are able to break into the Triceratons base.





The Triceraton ship is able to escape the Federation defences, and engage ion-burn, successfully fleeing Federation space.









The Turtles realizes their running out of air....

I actually had the toy for Fugitoid as a kid.

Of all the characters from the toyline, I woudl not have expected Fugitoid to be from the original series.

Yeah, as a kid I assumed "Usagi Yojimbo" was just another TMNT character and Fugitoid was one of those characters that only existed as a toy.

Yeah, if nothing else, kudos to the Archie comics for at least trying to use some of the Playmate toys as characters: Scumbag, Wyrm, Tattoo (Who was actually a real Sumo Wrestler and not a fucking Hamster), Slash, all the Mutanimals, Ace Duck, that spider vehicle the foot use.
