But their weapons were more primitive, and the TCs often referred as them (Mutats) as primitive.
advanced technology ≠ civilized. Civilized has to do with the culture and the society not the technology.
Yes, you’re right. It’s just that people use it indifferently.
This is also the inspiration for the Extermination Wars that take place on Plun-Darr in the years inbetween “Exodus” and the story Lord Slithor and I are working on.
True, the Ninja Turtles would not be pleased. 
Thanks for sharing! I watched them last night and enjoyed them very much. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that full version, however there was one scene in the deleted bits that was an image in a sticker I had. Back in the 80’s I had this sticker book where you bought packs of stickers, could try and trade them with your friends if you had duplicates, etc… One of the stickers from Exodus was an image in a deleted scene, now I know where that image came from! 
Wow kinda ashamed to have been a fan this long and have never seen those ever. blush but I really with they kept them in. Kit pounding on the SC as Jaga basicly off’ed himself had me choke up.
Anyone know what other deleted scenes exist? It’s been well established that EXODUS (1-hour movie version, which encompasses the episodes “Exodus” and “Unholy Alliance”) contains 8 or 9 deleted scenes that were not released on the DVD. But does anyone know of others? I know that there have been a lot of VHS releases over the last 25 years or so. Has anyone gone through them to see if they are identical to the DVD versions?
Also, if anyone here decides to take up the task of comparing sources, I think you will find that the UK version of the DVD is different than the US version (or so I’ve read; I’m in the US). To the best of my knowledge, both the USA and UK sourced their material from broadcast tapes rather than masters (the original masters are more than likely very deteriorated by now, because the medium on which they are stored has about a 10 year lifespan for high-quality picture and sound, which is why well-organized and well-financed companies dump their masters onto new digital tapes before the damage on the originals takes its toll, but this probably didn’t happen with TC). However, the broadcast tapes in the UK differed from those in the USA, at least in terms of quality. I don’t know if content is different, but I’ve read that the glitch in episode 1 (from disc 1 in the DVD release) at 3:15 is not there in the UK DVD. Also, they have the soundtrack in their “Unholy Alliance.” Of course, the USA does too, but only after a recall and re-distribution took place.
So, if anyone wants to make sure you have all you can get from TC, you’d want to compare:
[ul]
[li]USA DVD release #1 (keep in mind the recall and re-distributed version of disc 1)
[/li][li]USA DVD release #2 (starting in July 2011, a re-release of the series)
[/li][li]UK DVD release
[/li][li]USA VHS tapes
[/li][li]UK VHS tapes

Well some of the episodes when originally broadcast in the UK were cut, however the UK DVD releases have the episodes uncut…(but then the BBC could have taken the broadcast tapes and edited them I guess…)
The BBC has these funny censorship rules about nun-chucks and headbutts. Apparently any such content gets edited from BBC media. This makes up a lot of Panthro’s fighting sequences, and nearly all of Michelangelo’s scenes from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In fact, if I am not mistaken, the whole reason why TMNT in the UK is actually TMHT (Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles) is because the BBC censors certain ninja content as well. I’m not from the UK, so I don’t know all of the details on these kooky rules, but I’ve read about them from time to time.
During the original broadcast of TC, the UK probably had a lot of cut scenes as compared to the US. However, it could easily be the case that they had extra scenes as well.
As I’ve stated before, an online review on the UK TC DVD said that episode 1 did not have that glitch at 3:15. I believe this implies that they (a) fixed it (although I doubt it), or (b) they sourced their material from their own tapes. So, even if there are no extra scenes, in some instances, they may have better quality variations.
The same thing happened with The Tick animated series. In the US, Buena Vista totally botched up the DVD release. The content was obviously sourced from inferior tapes, most likely broadcast editions. I believe it suffered from deleted scenes as well. Also, they omitted one episode from both, Season 1 and Season 2, and omitted the release of Season 3 entirely. However, in the UK, Jetix released the entire series. All 3 seasons were released, and in beautiful quality at that.
