Back in the preproduction phase for the 2K3 TMNT tv show, when Lloyd
Goldfine and I came up with the idea of the Shredder actually being,
secretly, an Utrom in an exoskeleton, we knew that at some point we
should reveal exactly what that evil little bugger looked like. I
thought that he should look significantly different from the standard
Utrom, in some way which would make him stand out and look BAD. So I did
these two pages of quick conceptual sketches to try to come up with
such a look.
And once we had settled on a design, it was necessary to come up with a
restraining device for the flashback scenes which showed how the evil
Utrom had escaped on Earth. The following image shows the small tweaks I
made to the design submitted to us by 4Kids, which was actually almost
perfect -- I just wanted to try to make sure that the squishy little imp
could find a way to squeeze himself out of it.
