## Trivia

* This is the 2nd and 3rd time April kisses Donnie.
* When Mikey is picturing himself as a human, he envisions Greg Cipes; the voice actor that plays him.
* Baxter mentions an idea for mutant pigs and rhinos, which foreshadows the creation of Bebop and Rocksteady.
* The Turflytle logo transition from scene to scene is a reference to the Bat logo transition of the 1966 Batman TV series
* The duck mutant that Baxter managed to create before his own mutation could be a reference to Ace Duck. Ace Duck is a mutant duck that was skilled in pro-wrestling. The 1987 turtles encountered him in one the books printed about them: A Visit To Stump Asteriod.
* Donnie hides completely in his shell for the first time in this series.
* In Baxter's lab, there are aggregated jars of organs, which is a possible reference to the 2003 series, when Baxter Stockman had body parts removed everytime he failed the Shredder.
* Stockman's plan to turn fuse himself with April to become human is similar to Seth Brundle's plan to turn back to normal in David Cronenburg's *The Fly*
* Baxer vomits acid on his food to eat. This is both a nod to the 1987 remake film David Cronenberg's ''The Fly'' with Jeff Goldblum, and how actual flies consume their food.
* The scene where Donnie is getting the Retromutagen from Baxter with his Grappling hook could be a reference to how Spiderman would deal with the situation.

## Trivia

* The ending is a homage to the Dramatic gopher (a famous Youtube video), with the 'dramatic' glare and music.
* The device that Donatello uses to track the Kraang ship resembles the original 1989 Game Boy handheld video game system made by Nintendo. When he turns on the device, it also makes the same two tone dinging sound that the Game Boy made when turned on.
* When pretending to be a superhero, Michelangelo called the bat Kirby "Wingnut", an homage to that character.
* The scene when Michelangelo, Raphael, and Leonardo use the communication orb as a dodgeball is similar to a scene in the 1987 TV series episode Peking Turtle, where the turtles are playing around with a giant pearl.
* The Cottage Cheese Demon is a reference to the movie Gremilins, where a Gremin exploded inside a microwave.

* Donatello's mind is trapped in a puzzle game similar to Tetris.
* The helmet used to trap Donnie's mind is actually the top part of a M.O.U.S.E.R.S. head.
* Mikey's trap is called "Flushomatic", a torture trap originally released as a toy in the 1987 TV series toyline, which consisted on a toilet dropping mutagen over a thread where the tortured one would be laying. See: Flushomatic (1989 toy)
	+ The flushomatic was named by Rocksteady, but Mikey offered better name options like the Dump of Doom, which Rocksteady really liked.
	+ Bebop and Rocksteady being the creative minds behind the Flushomatic and Michelagelo being the one tortured in it was an homage to the fact that the same thing happened in the 1987 TV series episode "Michelangelo's Birthday".
* When Michelangelo wonders about him suffering a second mutation, he imagines himself as a female turtle which appears on screen. The female Michelangelo is a reference to The Next Mutation's character Venus, as even the pose is an homage to promotional images of the character.

* The 80s Turtles and 80s Krang return in Wanted Bebop and Rocksteady
* This episode contains several references from the 1987 TV Series:
	+ When 80's Raphael throws a pizza at a Kraang, it's a direct homage to the first Fred Wolf intro for Raphael's part, where he throws a pizza at the camera and eats it. He even says the lyric "Give me a break!" when 2012 Raphael calls him out on having a pizza.
* In addition to homages to the Fred Wolf cartoon, the episode also follows an identical pattern to Turtles Forever, the finale to the 2003 series with some differences:
	+ The current Turtle team joins forces with a previous iteration; instead of the past being summoned though, the current Turtles this time are summoned.
	+ A villain obsessed with eliminating the Turtles entirely with 80's Krang in this episode and Ch'rell in Turtles Forever.

* Kraang Subprime mentions real life actress Megan Fox, who plays April in the Paramount movies.
* The interaction between 2012 Donatello and 80's Raphael on their voices is a joke due to Rob Paulsen being the one to voice both of them.
* The episode ends with the 80's turtles fighting a Kraathatrogon and Tiger Claw from the 2012's universe.
	+ Although the fight took place over a year prior at the end of The Manhattan Project and this episode taking place a few months prior to Annihilation Earth!.
	+ Tiger Claw is shown to already have lost his left eye before being eaten by the Kraathatrogon, even though he had lost it sometime after, or during, fighting the 80's turtles.
