Which 2012 TMNT Characters Had The Worst Ending?

The 2012 version of TMNT is pretty well-known for not having the best characters' storyline endings. Timothy/Pulveriser, Fugitoid, and Alopex are the ones I have heard the most.

I'm curious to see which characters will have the most votes.

If I had to pick, I would say Timothy. He stayed as a frozen mutant even after Donatello found a cure. The Pulveriser may not be the best character but he deserved a happy ending.

best scene in the whole show

UPG: added English translation! Sorry in advance if I got some things wrong, it’s not my first language and I don’t practice it often 👉👈

All the stuff I did for the Turtle Soup Ask so far! I wanted to translate it before posting it on Tumblr but honestly right now I don’t have the willpower to do that but still want to post it here…maybe I’ll update this post later 😔🙏

idw honeycutt but mlp because turns out that drawing characters as ponies is hella fun actually

consider this. honeycat

hope you enjoyed the latest oc content, now back to your scheduled honeycutt posting! a piece i made back in summer 2024 and zayton lineartcutt i finished just now

can’t believe i forgot to post these but I MADE TMNT IDW ACRYLIC CHARMS!! available at my VK shop

Did you guys know that I have a variety of fandom merch? Now you do. Available at my VK shop

was scrolling through my phone’s gallery and found this fusiontoid au sketch comic i did in the summer of 2023…posting it now because i still like it actually

did you know that autumn is my favorite season and mortucutt is my favorite rarepair? now you do :]

was trying out a simpler art style with some of my faves and ended up making two height charts - the cyberfarm one was my first attempt at this cartoony style and the tmnt one was my second attempt and i think it looks a bit better, practice makes perfect i guess.

the cf height chart is canon btw - i based it of off the actors actual heights and info from the official artbook

TMNT 2012 Space Arc Rewrite: Fugitoid

First in-depth character post for our rewrite is about Honeycutt because this rewrite was made by me and my friend @unscapedgoat what else were you expecting

All of the art featured here is a year and a half old at this point because we’ve been working on this rewrite for a long time and just didn’t post anything…the perfectionist in me says that I can do better but I won’t because the designs themselves are still relevant (though I recommend checking out this post for the characters designs). Speaking of…

Appearance

Zayton is a d’hoonib - a humanoid alien with big cat and eagle like features. He’s 6’1 feet and hundreds if not thousands of years old at this point - he’s old even for a long-living race. For his clothes I went for a mix of sad beige (because HAVE YOU SEEN HIS SHIP DECOR) and pirate (because he’s an outlaw who has a ship you know…some of you might even remember my "ship in the bottle" doodles) vibes

Fusiontoid is a modified 6 feet SAL model (both the original robot and the modificated version were created by Honeycutt). Compared to a regular SAL model, this one’s pearly-white instead of silver, has slim claw-like fingers, built-in weaponry and wires going from his brain to his main engine that function as neurons. When he’s not on Ulixes he carries an oxygen ballon because…human(oid) brains need that you know! He also has a spacesuit that he uses both as an oxygen ballon alternative and a disguise.

Story

Just like in IDW, SAL was one of Rewrite!2012 Honeycutt’s first inventions…which he later started mass-producing and selling because from what it seems like in OG and our AU 2012 Zayton is a freelancer from a rich family who earns money by selling various inventions of his. They did keep one SAL model for himself though, and later added a bunch of adjustments and renovations to it. Soon after his parents death Zayton started adding other renovations for his robot as well as rewriting the code and adding in a certain protocol, experimenting with the idea of making SAL his future body - after all, the man is old and dying is scary…The project however was scrapped when it was almost finished, after the scientist realised how risky this whole thing is and how easily it can go wrong. One of Honeycutt’s most recent inventions was the Black Hole generator. Something that can be used for good (it could’ve been a great power source for example) but all the potential buyers wanted to use to for mass murder - something the scientist didn’t want to happen. But because Zayton refused to sell their invention to anyone, he started to run out of money, making it hard for him to even pay for his home/ship Ulixes. The rumours of a brilliant scientist being this desperate for money started spreading near and far. This is when the Krang decided to show up and offered such a huge payment, that at this point Honeycutt just couldn’t refuse.

But hours after that Zayton realised that what he did was truly horrible and by this time the Krang could’ve killed millions of innocent people. And, just how Honeycutt thought - days later triceratons broke into Ulixes, asking the scientist to build them the same invention Krang used to destroy their home planet. Zayton refused, and before the triceratons killed him, Honeycutt gave one last order to his robot: destroy the heart of darkness

Hours later, Honeycutt wakes up in SAL’s body, only now realising that even though the brain transferring project was scrapped it was still a part of his robot’s new program - and, by following that program, it revived its creator in its own body. And, if it wasn’t already bad enough - Honeycutt’s new body will follow Honeycutt’s latest order of destroying the black hole generator no matter what. Horrified at the thought of being forever stuck in a robot’s body and having to eventually sacrifice himself to right his wrongs, the scientist just sits there for a good minute, trying to get their new body to move while thinking about what the hell is he gonna do now

Meanwhile Nathan Bishop (this rewrite’s OC inspired by 2012 Bishop because let’s be real 2012 Bishop isn’t much like Bishop and should’ve just been a new character with the same surname or something) finds out about what his old pal Zayton did and he’s pissed. He doesn’t tell about this to other utroms and just storms off to Ulixes to tell Honeycutt that he has less than an hour to explain himself, run as far as he can, and pray to god that they will die sooner than the Utrom Council finds and executes him. But Bishop quickly changes his mind once he sees what once was his friend - a brutally disfigured humanoid body and a scared robot covered in blood. Honeycutt quickly explains this whole situation and Nathan decides to stay at Ulixes for longer and help him. Because cutting off their ties now would just be cruel - clearly, Honeycutt already got consequences for his actions and regrets what they did.

Later on the two discover just how unstable Zayton’s current state is - in our rewrite AU he’s not just "jittery and nervous" because of his fusion core - he’s a robot filled to the brim with formaldehyde. A liquid of polar molecules. Honeycutt made sure that there won’t be any leakage, but next to so many electronics short-circuiting is bound to happen. And after a while Zayton’s brain just gives up and their body goes into somewhat of an auto-pilot mode, controlled by SAL. After a good rest (which usually takes a whole day) Zayton gets control of his body back. Yes, he does sleep, that’s something human(oid) brains do. No, you can never tell because he always seems active due to the body being in control of either Honeycutt himself or SAL. The two function separately and have their own memories, the last of SAL’s being that Honeycutt is dead. That’s why the triceratons named him Fusiontoid in the first place - at this point the maul-functioning android is neither fully SAL or Honeycutt, but an uneven mix of both. There is some sort of brain rot going on which results in him forgetting some of their memories. Sometimes Honeycutt uses it to his advantage to seem innocent and unaware of what he did while he was still a humanoid…but most of the times it’s just a huge inconvenience for both Honeycutt himself and his friends, making them question if, at this point, Honeycutt is still…well, Honeycutt.

Nathan, however, trusts his cyborg friend enough to ask him to help his earthling friends. At first Zayton agrees for a selfish reason - saving Earth and destroying the black hole generator would both fulfil his only purpose (from SAL’s perspective) and fix his reputation (the triceratons deemed him a criminal and at this point things Zayton did and what happened to them is a common knowledge for many). However, during their journey Honeycutt gets attached to his new friends and gets an on-screen redemption arc that lasts throughout this rewrite’s space arc - later on they genuinely want to help the main six save their homeplanet and even becomes a father figure for Donnie, Mikey and April and even tries to find another way to destroy the Black Hole Generator without blowing himself up so that the three won’t be sad about his death. Leo is also thrilled about getting a new father but for all the wrong reasons which I’ll talk more about in the next rewrite posts, but in short - Leo sees Honeycutt as a Splinter replacement (art below by @unscapedgoat)

Trivia

• They actually introduce themselves as Fusiontoid Honeycutt to keep their status quo for those who don’t know about his full story yet. He also does his best to keep this image of a silly friendly robot that totally never did anything wrong in his life ever. The more Honeycutt begins to trust the main six, the more he acts as his true self around them, slowly revealing who he really is

• Honeycutt had persistent tic disorder and ADD while he was humanoid which only worsened after he became a cyborg. They’re also autistic

• The bleep-bloop stuff are tics half the times and built-in censorship other times…which is a great robotic body feature to have when your bestie basically asked you to babysit six angsty teens who are constantly getting on your nerves

• Honeycutt used to go by he/him/they/them/it/its but no longer uses the last one because ever since he became a cyborg people only called him that in a derogatory way as if he’s some kind of object

• He used to have great relationships with his parents…and now that they’re gone and Honeycutt himself became a cyborg outlaw they sometimes feels like a disgrace to their family (the fact that some people actually called him out like that also doesn’t help)

• They’re probably the worst father figure imaginable and they know it what they don’t know is that these mutants real dad is even worse Honeycutt’s rather immature despite his age because he had the privilege of never facing any real problems up until now. Sometimes they outright neglect their newfound kids in favour of their own needs (especially at the start of the story) but later on start taking better care of the main six and grows a lot as a person.

• Leo, Honeycutt and Nathan have a bonding experience over the fact that they’re all into cheesy sci-if films from Earth

• Speaking of Earth - that’s one of Honeycutt’s main special interests. He’s especially fascinated with the turtles and April because OMG MUTANTS? YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO THAT WITH UTROM OOZE??? awesomesauce

• Since Honeycutt has memory issues at first he couldn’t remember the main six’s names and called them like their defining traits - Freckles, Toothgap, CrackedShell, Scar, Human and…April. Because a month like that already exists that’s not hard to remember

my and @unscapedgoat tmnt 2012 space arc rewrite designs i’ve been hoarding up in my gallery for months (the turtles were finished today though)

next au post will be about honeycutt specifically

happy pride month to y’all 🎉🎉🎉 2012 honeycutt says ace rights (and so do i!)

(super late😭) birthday gifts for my friends @kheezzze and @unscapedgoat ! Because even though I have memory issues doesn’t mean that I don’t love my friends 🥺💖

Mirage Honeycutt panel redraw that I’m REALLY proud of MAN traditional art is so fun! (og panel under the cut)

Finally finished my set of TMNT 2003 badge pins designs! now i just need to earn money via commissions and stuff because i only have like two dollars left on my credit card which is not enough to get them printed

my favourite cat (based off this post)

i’m not forcing anyone to join my honeycutt friendfanzone but if you’d like to let me know

I think the fugitoid is my favorite character

guess who finally started reading more issues of something other than idw anyway yeah I’ve been reading a lot of Mirage TMNT lately and my opinion on Mirage!Honeycutt shifted from "eh whatever, kinda boring" to "what a sassy little guy with a huge identity crisis. i like him"

Also, some explanations for my headcanon design (spoilers ahead, obviously):

I think him wearing clothes would make sense not only because wearing clothes is a very human thing to do (I know wether or not he’s Zayton in Mirage is debatable but still) - but also because in Mirage’s TMNT universe SAL got mass-produced without Honeycutt’s consent. Someone stealing your invention is already bad enough, but when this invention is your BODY now…yeah, you gotta at least do everything you can to differentiate yourself from other robots 😳

After his eye got damaged in Mere Appendix it got replaced with a different eye from the same unit and…Well, if we count OG SAL as a prototype - they usually vary in one way or another from the "final product" so yeah, I’m giving him heterochromia

Headcanon design / Ref Sheet for 2003 Zayton Honeycutt (Fugitoid)! Wanted to post this one later once I’ll finish my headcanon designs for other Honeycutt iterations (Mirage is probably coming next, also I’m currently working on my 2012 Rewrite AU) but changed my mind since it’s been a while since I posted any TMNT content haha…hope you’ll like him as much as I do!

I’ve already written a huge post in VK but still - HAPPY BIRTHDAY @issadrawlikeagod !!! You’re such a good friend and an amazing artist, so glad we met each other two years ago! I said it before and I’ll say it again - I really like you and your art - your DBD & Valorant stuff is great and your TMNT AU is so unique I don’t think I’ll ever get tired drawing fanarts of it…so here’s another one for your 19th birthday! <3

guys i think i forgot that i’m an artist who mainly posts on tumblr uhhhhANYWAY! Here’s a bunch of fanart I made for my friend’s @issadrawlikeagod TMNT AU because (as I’ve already said in a lot of my other posts) - I like it a lot! Especially Mortu, not only is he very well written in this AU (don’t get me wrong I like him in canon TMNT 2003 but this is like, on a whole other level) but he’s also LOOK AT HIM HE’S SO HANDSOME HJNKNBCDFVVDD- oh and, I also like Honeycutt in this AU…because of course I do, I like literally every iteration of him and if you’ve been following me for long enough you already know that 😳😳😳

Prof Honeycutt is such a good character without fail no matter which iteration always such a good character

*crawls out of her room* hellooo TMNT fandom! No, I’m not dead, neither did I left the community - I simply was way too busy hyperfixating on DHMIS and FMA…oh, and also, work. Yeah, that’s probably the biggest reason why I wasn’t active - I got so burned out I wasn’t able to draw shit- ANYWAY I’m totally fine now. And I thought it’d be a good idea to draw something TMNT related considering I applied for the Turtles Together zine and…and now I’m nervously waiting for the 28th February results 😳😳😳 (UPG: Sorry guys I’m a dumbass, those weren’t results, those were applications closing lol)

Alright, enough chattering - I got inspired by the @coffinpal ROTTMNT space arc headcanons post and decided to make my own design for Rise!Fugitoid. Because TMNT space arc without Honeycutt is like a peanut butter jelly sandwich without the peanut butter…I simply cannot imagine one without the other! Also, as you can probably see - I tried my best to make him look as ”rise” as possible :0)

YOOOOO guys look at them, look at Issa’s boooooiis, I love them so much and most definitely will make more fanarts and memes with these two smkmnbvcxasfbnjhgv they’re amazing actually *smiles because Issa told me a lot about her AU in DMs*

tumblr doesn’t send me notifs about my friend’s posts for some reason so that’s why it’s such a late reblog but AAAAAAAAI just think they’re neat

ma boooooiis

Meet the artist and kin & fave list I made because today’s my 17th birthday! If you want to see an English translation for meet the artist just ask me, and I’ll make one :3
