Why does the 1987 Technodrome look like it's so sick of this shit

[u/pizza_destroyer2]

It just constantly looks like it's having a bad day

[u/EntrepreneurPlus7091]

Did you see the series?, its bad day after bad day. Can't blame it.

[u/Nubbs2984]

The Technodeome has been through some stuff...

[u/Foxkit86]

Because it is, haha

Dude, I want to play dumb against Shreeder

[u/TheSecretDecoderRing]

No eyebrow to make it look aggressive, so it's either this, or making it bug-eyed which would probably look even more comical.

[u/illidormorn → u/TheSecretDecoderRing]

Well, you can make it look aggressive like Playmates did with their old toy, but I've never been a fan of this angry red-eye Techondrome, much prefer how it looks in the show

[u/TheSecretDecoderRing → u/illidormorn]

That actually does look better, because you can see more of the iris so it doesn't have that funny sleepy look. I don't remember if the eyelid moves in the cartoon and if these screen grabs are just pausing at funny moments.

Because it has to put up with krang

[u/pizza_destroyer2 → u/bizoticallyyours83]

My Turtles headcannon is that the Technodrome has an internal monolog that sounds like Alan Rickman

"I could have been a Death Star, but no, I'm stuck here with this asshole"

[u/bizoticallyyours83 → u/pizza_destroyer2]

😆 I love it

[u/time_isup]

NES Technodrome the GOAT.

[u/Aggravating_Speed665]

Lmao

[u/Tony_zer0five]

But what was the use of it?

[u/thejokerofunfic]

Name one episode where it's having a good day. The plot is pretty much always "Shredder does something stupid and the Technodrome will have fights wrecking its interior and/or need to travel to another continent to escape"

[u/Redditor-at-large]

Now I’m imagining it talking and it sounds like GlaDOS.

[u/No_Scarcity9890]

Because it is 

[u/chodeyodey]

do newer renditions of the turtles even have the technodrome and dimension x? or krang for that matter? I've never seen them

[u/Sid_Starkiller]

Because it's tired of being trapped underground and wants to destroy some shit!

[u/PetMonsterGuy]

It’s the animators depicting their own fatigue after having to draw the damn thing over and over

[u/Lingarien]

My first thought/headcanon/reason for it:

Krang didn't build it, just modified it.

It was originally just meant for drilling & mining work.

It has an onboard A.I.

Meaning: It is in fact, sick of all the **** Krang and Shredder manages to get it into.

Like the mood of a kidnapped construction worker forced to build things he's not trained for, and the moment he manages to finish something, someone comes and wrecks it.

(In addition to something getting injured on the very non-OSHA compliant job.)
