Raph Is A Great Strategist

Numerous times in the show Raph has shown to have a preference for straightforwardly punching his problems away rather than think up a more complex solution. Like how his immediate fix to getting Mayhem out of the mirror in Mystic Library was to punch everything in the bathroom but the mirror. However, when Raph understands the situation requires more in depth strategy, he’s shown to be an incredibly capable tactician.

(long post ahead!)

In nearly all the plot heavy episodes like Shadow of Evil, Many Unhappy Returns, and the season finales, Raph gets moments where he’s highlighted for his strategic thinking. In Insane in the Mama Train, he’s the one who figures out which eyeball-button goes to the front car with the dark armor, because “‘it was the only button [the Foot Clan] didn’t want me to press!’” [21:05]. He’s also the one who came up with the scheme to defeat all the (known) combatants in the train, with Leo specifically attributing Raph as the deviser during their mind meld [19:46]. In Many Unhappy Returns, after spending a single night waylaying the Shredder, Raph formulated a plan using all the tricks the team learned, seamlessly transitioning the mystic collar Leo acquired into it [19:53], to defeating the Shredder. Additionally, he’s repeatedly called for a retreat during fights, like in Shadow of Evil, Shreddy or Not (Finale pt 2), and the movie, when he can tactically recognize that a battle couldn’t be won. Each time, the show/movie implied that that was the right call, for the family to lose the fight but win the war.

And it’s not just that Raph is good at strategy when he’s pushed to be more serious; the show characterizes him as passionate about creating plans, he enjoys doing it. Literally in the first episode, Mystic Mayhem, after the turtles’ initial plan failed of getting Splinter out of the living room to touch his Do-Not-Touch Cabinet, Raph immediately started devising a new plan that involved “ten chickens [and] a gallon of rubber cement” [9:35]. It was convoluted, sure, and they didn’t end up using it, but it was inventive and the opposite of reluctant. This is also shown in Bug Busters, where Raph planned out dousing Mikey in honey to attract the oozequitoes [2:52]; Snow Day, with the idea to freeze Ghost Bear like in Jupiter Jim Pluto Vacation 4; and Raph’s Ride-Along (and also Bad Hair Day), where Mind Raph created multiple schemes to get the criminals arrested. The show wouldn’t have made Raph be so creative with his plans if they were trying to characterize him as someone who didn’t like strategizing.

So does why Raph do stupid shit sometimes where he doesn’t think things through at all? Well, even though Raph is good at strategy and enjoys doing it, it’s clear his immediate impulse is still “punch the problem in the face”. In fact, all the turtle boys contain the fascinating dichotomy of being incredibly smart in some areas, and the dumbest teenagers alive in others. Just look at Donnie. It’s also how Raph is a loving protective older brother, and the guy who shoved Leo into a wall so hard he disappeared in one frame for shits and giggles (The Mutant Menace x). None of this means that Raph is bad at strategy though.

tldr: Yeah, Raph has a lot of dumb and, frankly, insane moments in the show, but he’s still an incredible tactician who’s plans consistently saved his family and sometimes the world. He's a great strategist.

Buster Gallon might need to being himself for his sake,

How OLD are the Metal Cardbots?

Like, this question has been messing with my brain for hours.

I think there is no confirmation of how much their human age would be, only that they are thousands of years older than any human because they are alien robots.

But I have some headcanons ☆

Blue Cop: 28

Mega Trucker: 27

Mega Ambler: 31

Phoenix Fire: 30

Cuddles!!

No tricks this time!! Just fluffy cuddle session!!!

Part 2!!!!

MCB

Part 1 here!!!

Notes in the end!!!

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°

Dexter

• Oh he's a cuddle bug. He doesn't act like it, but he's very cuddly at times. He also doesn't really mind when someone sees you two, still would prefer to be in private though.

• Sometimes the two of you cuddle while nature/bird watching. He often points out the little creatures that the two of you could find and then share fun facts about them. He yaps like that only to the people he trusts.

• More often than not he bombards you with kisses all over your face. How? By pressing his face against yours of course!

Fleta Z

• He's a bit hesitant for some reason, but once you've convinced him he's actually very into it. He also takes this time to learn more about you! Maybe even sway your heart with a compliment or two.

• Not overly cuddly, but he will smother you in affection. In fact, he's not leaving you alone until you give him his daily hugs.

• Soft kith after every cuddle/hugs. No backing out from him! He will hunt you down (not literally). Quite the gentleman while he kissed you. Very gentle indeed.

Wild Guardy

• What's a cuddle?

• Jk, he knows what cuddle is. He just doesn't know what to think of it. You'll have to slowly introduce him to the concept too, start by holding his hands and then side-hug him, etc.

• Overtime he does gets comfortable and decided to cuddle. He's awkward and terribly nervous about it, but he's doing great. Be patient with him okay?

• He usually asks for cuddles when either of you are stressed out about something or just having a terrible day in general. Surprise him with a peck on his cheek too, that helps him greatly.

Buffalo Crush

• Absolute cuddle bug. You might be crushed under his strength, but don't worry, he always apologizes after. Oh and please hug him daily, he loves it.

• He is also the one to DRAG you to a cuddle if he thinks you haven't spend much time with him yet. Though he will be a bit shy about it at first. He just loves being close to you okay!!!

• Unfortunately he's hard to be pushed away once you do cuddle. It was either him or the world. The world, which means letting him hug you to death. Him, which means leaving him to sulk in the corner.

Buster Gallon

• He'll make a comment about how it's a waste of time and is a useless thing to do, but then when you pull him into a hug he puts his entire weight on you and cuddles you like crazy.

• The cuddle doesn't end until he says so. Well you could just bribe him with a kiss or two if you want to be freed, but that's a 50/50 chance. He's tired of Black Dan's bullsh t man let him be.

• He also lets go when someone randomly comes in on you two cuddling. If they make fun of you two, he's hunting them down. If they don't make a single comment, he just lets them be. He's got a red face though so that's something.

Black Hook

• It's also a 50/50 situation with him. He'd either be immediately into it or he thinks it's stupid and leaves. Let's be real, his actions depends on his mood.

• That being said, despite being the leader of his team, he's quite gentle with holding you. Unless he's been feeling a bit down, he's going to cuddle you until death.

• Don't expect to be treated like a royalty though, he's a pirate not a servant. He's going to cuddle you whenever and wherever he wants to. Yes, even in mid air, however that works.

Heavy Iron

• Definitely thinks he's better as a big spoon than a small spoon. Well he's true, but he's definitely more 'cuter' as a small spoon. He won't admit it but you will.

• He'll hug you when he feels like it, or you're genuinely in one of your less preferred moods. That being said, if he was also in one of his preferred moods, a quick cuddle does well in calming him down.

• The same as the two above, it's a 50/50 situation with him unfortunately. He's not exactly a lovey dovey type so... don't expect much out of him.

I had the absolute pleasure of doing the switcharound art meme with SidVenBlu and Bemmun over on Twitter! I was so nervous I wouldn't do their art justice when it came my turn, but in the end I learned a lot and had fun! And now we all got more art of our favorite robots! <3

Have some free metal cardbot thingies I made :3

Feel free to use these for whatever! ^^ credit isn't needed but it would be appreciated :3

Ok, so back to that headcanon someone had of the Cardbots sleeping in a sleep pile. I know that Black Hook would be sleeping near his crew, but where would Heavy Iron be in the pile? I know he isn't the friendliest cardbot, but I'm sure he misses the company of fellow Cardbots after being in space for so long.

HEHEHEHEHJ THAT WAS MY HC !! :))

I love the idea of platonic naptime cuddle pile amongst teammates to strengthen bonds and conserve warmth (monkey-core. Cat-core. Meekrat-core?)

Heavy iron was the hardest bot to convince to stop trying to be all tough and edgy and come to bed with the rest of them. It was a very VERY slow process that started with each cardbot hanging out with him to establish a relationship, inviting him to wash with them, and just all together softening the big guy up to the idea of being part of their little (big) family.

Eventually he cannot resist the longing pang in his chest that begged him to bond with his new team. Cardbots, much like humans, are social creatures—even the most solitary bots have one or two close companions—and Heavy Iron was no exception.

Black Hook, much to Heavy Irons dismay, could read him like an open book. The second the bigger bot started itching for closeness with the team Black Hook was on him like a dog. This naturally pissed Heavy Iron off since their petty rivalry still holds strong even after the eighteen wheeler got sealed, so he can’t help but to deny and resist the prodding and shoving from the other bot.

This doesn’t last long. Black Hook is quite strong by himself, but with the added strength of Mega Trucker and obnoxious poking of Shadow X, he was forced to collapse onto the padding laid out on the floor and resign himself to the not-at-all-comforting pressure of his teammates.

Heavy Iron, being the biggest and the warmest, always ended up on the bottom of the pile. More often than not he had to deal with the irritatingly clingy Black Hook and his equally irritating partners Buffalo Crush and Buster Gallon. Thankfully they tended to stay cuddled to Black Hook’s side.

Shadow X is like a cat. He curls up on the warmest part of Heavy Iron and will not move no matter how many times he’s thrown off of the larger bot. He usually ends up splayed across his chest or wedged uncomfortably under his chin.

Blue Cop will switch who he sleeps next to depending on how he’s feeling, most nights he tends to take place curled up next to Mega Trucker or Wild Guardy, but when it gets colder he shuffles his way under Heavy Iron’s arm to sap up some of the heat.

The colder it is the more dense the pile is. On cold winter nights, Heavy Iron will find himself under an uncomfortable number of cardbots. He doesn’t complain, though. Not until morning at least.

ANYWAYS HSHDNG I HOPE YOU LIKE EHEE :)) I love subjecting the old man to love and affection from his new family . Loserrrr get lovedddd

I love you so much you kinky menace to society cardbot-
