Rise > 2003 (without magical weapons or dragon forms) > IDW = 2012 > Mirage > 1987
>Rise
Anybody who doesn't say the 2003 series is best is a homosexual lying through their teeth, or a shill who probably worked on the show like these Black folk.
OP was asking about power-levels
Anon, say what you want about Rise as a show they are the most powerful TMNT incarnation outside of that obscure OVA anime
The only thing keeping 2k3 from being the absolute worst TMNT cartoon is that the '87 show is just a 10-season long toy commercial.
Also that wasn't even the question being asked, although I suppose I shouldn't expect basic reading comprehension skills from a 2k3 shitter.
>2003 (without magical weapons or dragon forms)
But rise uses magical weapons, they're fairly normal in the first episode.
If Rise gets access to their best forms, then obviously 2003 gets access to their super forms too.
>If Rise gets access to their best forms, then obviously 2003 gets access to their super forms too.
Rise's magical weapons are standard while 2003's magical weapons are situational
Even then I don't think 2003's magic is close to Rise's
>Rise's magical weapons are standard while 2003's magical weapons are situational
That's a copout, they're not 'Standard', they picked them up at the start of the series, they didn't even create them or anything of that nature. The dragon powerups, even just the regular mystic stuff, were stuff specifically for them.
>Even then I don't think 2003's magic is close to Rise's
Leo's dragon punched a bigger dragon through several buildings.
I think that's a touch more impressive.
>That's a copout, they're not 'Standard', they picked them up at the start of the series, they didn't even create them or anything of that nature. The dragon powerups, even just the regular mystic stuff, were stuff specifically for them.
They're standard because they're what the Rise Turtles use throughout their show
The 2003 TMNT stopped using their mystic weapons after a single season
>The 2003 TMNT stopped using their mystic weapons after a single season
It was the last season before the "Sequel not sequel" with Fast Forwards that changed everything and sent them into the future.
>It was the last season before the "Sequel not sequel" with Fast Forwards that changed everything and sent them into the future.
Also Back to the Sewer
That was a completely different sequel not-sequel that also changed everything including artstyle and powers, this time with the stupid cyberspace shit. Most of that didn't even take place in the real world.
It's still part of the 2003 canon
The TMNT stopped using their mystic weapons two seasons and a movie after Ninja Tribunal
>Rise
>87
>2012
>Mirage
>2007
>2k3
>Last Ronin
I'd maybe put the Mirage turtles lowers, but everything below Rise is kind of a jumbled mess that amounts to "depends on the story arc" but the Rise turtles undeniably have the most amount of power in fiction and on display.
Last Ronin at the bottom is more fair than they deserve, considering all of them fricking died to villains that they've beaten in every other incarnation. IDW turtles aren't much better, but at least they survived all of their villains and lived to reach old age if the current time travel shit is anything to go by.
>but everything below Rise is kind of a jumbled mess that amounts to "depends on the story arc" but the Rise turtles undeniably have the most amount of power in fiction and on display.
There's nothing Rise turtles did on this level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvtmnlhfbP0 and even if you wanted them just as turtles, they had their own mystic powerup that season that let them pull off some decent power.
>There's nothing Rise turtles did on this level.
The Shredder fight with the massive explosion in the end?
The movie where Mikey yeeted a fricking building?
>The Shredder fight with the massive explosion in the end?
What about it? It's still several measures smaller than the beam that tore through the city that Leo straight up tanked.
>The movie where Mikey yeeted a fricking building?
The building that was floating?
There's a context there that kind of changes the feat.
>The building that was floating?
It's still several hundred tons of mass
It was floating so that several tons of mass were clearly not in full play. I can move several tons of metal that's being lifted by a magnet too, doesn't mean I'm chucking the sucker.
Now what?
>There's nothing Rise turtles did on this level
I don't even like Rise, but they are consistently shown to be stronger and more powerful. It's not just a special thing or a single episode power up. Rise turtles, on a average day, are just shown to be stronger than the other versions of the turtles. The dragon thing is hardly representative of the level that the 2k3 turtles were at 99% of the time through their entire run.
>I don't even like Rise, but they are consistently shown to be stronger and more powerful.
Than that? How? When?
> It's not just a special thing or a single episode power up.
That's not the question OP asked, he said rank them in terms of strength. Obviously the only way to properly measure that is taking them at their peak, because that's the point where they're at their strongest.
>The dragon thing is hardly representative of the level that the 2k3 turtles were at 99% of the time through their entire run.
Showing them at their best is the only real way to measure who's stornger.
>The TMNT stopped using their mystic weapons two seasons and a movie after Ninja Tribunal
They didn't stop using them, they were in areas where they didn't work. This would be like using the episodes where the Rise guys didn't have access to their weapons as indicative of them at their best.
I just can't agree on saying "This doesn't count" just because the big bombastic finale didn't happen more than once.
Good god, man. Tone down the autism. You measure on average, not just using their most special one-time super powered up forms because edge cases are exceptions that prove the rule. You may as well be arguing that we should only judge this nebulous power level shit by the turtles at their weakest, when they weren't mutated and decide which baby turtles could beat the other baby turtles.
Rise has magic bullshit from start to finish which only increases in scale and scope. 2k3 has a couple instances of them using magic that doesn't last and never returns as part of their kit. This isn't about which series is better or which one you like more.
>which baby turtles could beat the other baby turtles.
Rise wins this as well
Raph's a snapper
I figured Mirage would be the bog standard middle ground. 87 have "toon force" on their side, too. And, yeah. Last Ronin got straight up murdered, so they're big time on the bottom. I admittedly don't know enough about IDW to make any judgement. Never got into the series.
Turtles Forever clearly establishes 1987 as having the highest power level and I haven't seen any of the later installments go past that.
