Before I start this rant, I must point out that this is NOT a wishlist. This is a theoretical exercise that takes existing S7 Ultimates TMNT variant themes and applied to other characters.
Not all characters can be put into variants due to their nature. Like say, Muckman is a living pile of trash and it's not something that can be easily adapted to a sports theme. I will go through all non- LDRM characters that aren't variants. Part 1 will cover the first few waves, then further parts until we cover all 10 waves and maybe Wave 11's Rat King.
Wave 1:
Baxter Stockman:
Disguised yes
Sports yes
Music no
Baxter the Paparazzi:
Baxter with a brown windbreaker and blue jeans.
New Accessories:
Alt head with a backwards blue cap
Hands to hold a camera
Press pass
Camera
4 SpyFly drones
Baxter is taking the Fly on a Wall to a new level in a deranged attempt to ruin the Turtles's reputation and outscooping April O'Neil.
Pro Bowler Baxter:
Baxter dressed in a Pro Bowling uniform.
New Accessories:
Bowling ball holding hands
2 Mouser themed Bowling Balls (one fits on the Bowling ball holding human hands and the other one is made for his fly hands)
10 pin bombs.
On his time off Baxter is a professional Bowler
Capable of bowling perfect games on 4 lanes at the same time, Baxter bowls for one single reason, gloating over the utter defeat of his enemies and showcasing his superiority over others.
Foot Soldier:
Disguised yes
Sports no
Music no
Master of Disguise Foot soldier:
This is an excuse to have a "Foot Soldier army builder". Take the standard Wave 1 Foot Soldier and give him tons of accessories for disguises:
New Accessories
-Policeman hat and tonfa
-cowboy hat and soft goods poncho (inspired by Clint Eastwood and Turtles in Time)
-Chef hat with soft goods apron and chef knife
-Purple Reporter hat, blue necktie (think Fleischer Superman's Clark Kent) and newspaper "to hide in plain sight"
- tropical straw hat and open soft goods hawaiian style shirt.
Old accessories:
-UC Raph Revolver
- 2 Ninja Rack Katar blades
Strike hard and fade away into the shadows is the motto of the Foot Ninja. The Foot Soldiers are known to blend easily into the crowds and be unnoticed, especially in NYC, where nearly everyone minds their own business.
Splinter:
Disguised yes
Sports no
Music yes
Master Handyman Splinter:
If you're thinking of a Splinter heavily inspired by Mr. Miyagi, you already know what to expect. Basically Splinter in gray pants with a soft goods shirt in Splinter's colors.
New head Splinter wearing a bandana with the Hamato clan insignia.
Walking stick
Wax canister
2 Wax sponges
Paintbrush
Hand to hold paintbrush
Old accessories:
Party wagon toolbox and some of the tools in different colors.
Appearances can be deceiving. Who would've thought that a simple Handyman carries the secrets of Ninjitsu? Splinter uses menial tasks to train future Ninja against the Foot and other eviodoers.
The Rat King of Rock and Roll:
Splinter in an Elvis Inspired Outfit (yes, this is a nod to Rise of the RotTMNT's Splinter)
New Accessories:
Guitar playing Splinter hands
New head with Elvis Hairstyle and glasses.
New alt toon based head
Ukulele with hidden blade
Guitar
Microphone with stand
Soft goods cape
Bacon wrapped Peanut and banana sushi rolls
Before Rock became loud and pushing the instruments to the limit, we have Splinter's softer but compelling rock. Relying on His kingly vocal chords and mesmerizing hip movements, Splinter honors the King who taught him how to rock.
Wave 2:
Bebop:
Disguised yes
Sports yes
Music yes
Bebop the Gunslinger:
Yes, this is an elaborate joke to have a Cowboy Bebop. Give him a cowboy outfit with Bebop Elements being present, like say: red boots and black leather chaps over blue jeans, a red vest over a pink shirt, purple round glasses and a 10 gallon hat in purple. Alt head would be no glasses and hat, while sporting a late 1800s hairstyle in Bebop Purple.
For new accessories:
-Right hand with twirling pork loin revolver
-Pork Loin Revolver (oversized revolver that fits on Bebop's hands)
-Bandit scalpin' knife
-Frontier Rifle
-oversized turtle soup pot with lid
-dynamite stick
- tuetle shell held by rope
-soft goods poncho
Old accessories:
-Scratch's moneybag
From the East Coast, all the way to the West Coast Bebop is kicking it old-school in his life of crime. As the fastest gunslinger on Dimension X, Bebop is bringing back the Wild from the Wild West to the modern world.
Bebop: El Puerco Asesino
Think Mexican Masked Wrestler but with Bebop.
The mask would be like a "El dia De Los Muertos" crossed with a Goot Soldier and Bebop's Mohawk popping from the top. Think Normal Bebop with no vest wearing new Wrestling tights and boots with the words El puerco on his right leg and boot while Asesino is on his left leg and boot. New arms without the turtle shells and that would be it for the figure.
New Accessories
Extra hands for wrestling poses
Soft goods sleeveless robe with Bebop themed elements
Beboppin' Bebop:
Loosely inspired by Dizzy Gillespie's fashion with beret, horn rimmed glasses and a beatnik goatee. Wearing a pink and red striped turtleneck and black pants.
For new accessories:
Alternate Blowing head with inflated cheeks
Trumpet playing hands
Sax playing hands
New sax with drill head sordina
New Dizzy Gillespie inspired bent trumpet with drill head sordina.
While some like their music cool and mellow, Bebop likes it hot and exciting, bringing some evil beats inspired by his namesake, our porcine villain can projectile launch his sordinas with great ease just by playing his funky music.
Mutagen Man:
Disguised yes
Sports no
Muisc no
Incognito Mutagen Man:
Basically this figure is vanilla Mutagen Man with some small changes:
New torso with painted translucent green plastic on the inside and newly sculpted translucent green ooze "top" to simulate he's fully full of Ooze.
The top cap would still be removable, but it can unplug from the hose. The reason is to have a "swappable head", hence the incognito name.
For accessories:
-Normal Mutagen Man cap
-new cap with a partially deflated volleyball duct taped to it, a fedora and a cardboard cutout generic face.
-new soft goods black trenchcoat
-new expressive hands
-new pointing hands
Reuse the gun
After joining the Mighty Mutanimals, Mutagen Man feels lonely, despite being in a team that cares about him. For those times when he feels like he needs to clear his head, he dons the tried and true Trenchcoat and hat disguise to roam the Big Apple.
Shredder:
Disguised yes
Sports yes
Music no
Commando Shredder:
Picture Shredder in a purple, grey, and black sneaking suit. His forearm armor hides a set of retractable blades. (Effect achieved by swapping hands) the spikes on his shoulders, wrists and shins ould be greatly downplayed in the sculpt and looking more like a grater
New Accessories:
Head would have a helmet with visor. The Visor straps would mimic the 3 prongs of Shredder's kabuto. The panel lines on the helmet would mimic his facemask and kabuto.
Second head would be similar to the 1990 movie Foot Ninja.
Gloved hands covering the basics and a second set of fists with two spikes coming from the back of each hand.
For weapons and miscellaneous accessories:
high-tech looking ninjato
Smoke bomb
Smoke explosion effect
Removable scarf
3× Kunai
2× Shuriken
5× oversized Caltrops
Wearing the ceremonial regalia of the Foot Grandmaster can be a burden at times so the Shredder opts to wear this Westernized Ninja outfit to remember his time as he started out in New York without the backing from the Japanese Foot.
Kendo Master Shredder:
Basically Oroku Saki wearing a Shredder themed Kendo Outfit.
The Kendo Helmet would have the 3 spikes from Shredder's Kabuto on it in a manner that it doesn't break the Kendo Helmet's shape.
The shoulder pieces of the helmet would have stylized parts reminiscent of Shredder's spikes.
The belt would have the stylized parts reminiscent of Shredder's spikes on the side pieces of the belt. The gloves would follow the same patter of other parts having stylized pieces reminiscent of Shredder's spikes.
Accessories:
He obviously would need kendo gloved hands.
Kendo stick
Broken kendo stick
Bokken
Shredder is not just a ruthless Ninja Assassin turned into a supervillain, he's also a ruthless teacher who trains the Foot mercilessly. He turns runaway teens and other dregs of society into an army of killing machines known as the Foot Clan. Even when backed by Krang's robotic technology, Shredder knows that the ultimate weapon is made of flesh and bone.
Wave 3:
Rocksteady:
Disguised yes
Sports yes
Music yes
Don Rino Ceronte:
Rocksteady dressed up like a Mobster. Zoot suit, black shoes with spats, and hat. By looking at him you can smell the marinara (and blood)
Accessories:
The usual hands (c-grips, gun grips, dramatic, fists)
Hands with brass knuckles sculpted on them.
Oversized Chicago Typewriter
Oversized Sledgehammer
Oversized aluminum bat
Oversized snub nose revolver
In order to topple the criminal underworld, Shredder put Rocksteady as a mob boss, disrupting the New York Families. Now known as Rino Ceronte, Rocksteady engages war with the NYFamilies in order to control access to pizza, the toitles' favorite food.
The Brooklyn Rhino Rocksteady:
Yes, it's a Stallone Reference. Specifically Rocky Balboa. And no, it's not Power Punching Rocksteady.
Basically a shortless Rocksteady wearing black trunks with a side stripe in woodland camo pattern (a nod to both rocky and Rocksteady) with boots and socks reminiscent of Rocky.
For accessories, 2 heads:
One normal head and one beaten up head.
Green turtle shell patterned gloves
Set of standard hands, c-grips, relaxed, fists, extra wide C-grips for a special accessory.
Accessories:
-punching bag with stand bag can be swapped for a pear.
-ring bell
-water bottle
-Oxey, the Oxpecker He works Rocksteady hard in order to make him eat lightning and crap Thunder. Picture a Jailbird sized Oxpecker that kinda looks like Burgess Meredith playing both Mickey and the Penguin at the same time. (Yes, he's a reference to Mickey AND the Chicken scene.)
Trained under Oxey the Oxpecker, Rocksteady has the chance to be a contender. Pushed beyond the limits, The Brooklyn Rhino is going to make mincemeat out of the toitles.
Rastafarian Rocksteady:
Rocksteady wearing a Rastafarian beanie, with dreadlocks and sporting a scraggly beard. Wearing a soft goods Lion poncho over his normal clothes.
(Tanktop has a Jamaican flag)
Accessories:
-Hands to play Bass
- machinegun Bass guitar
-Hand that can potentially hold a removable lollipop
-Lollipop
Rockestady can't see the irony of loving the Rastafarian life as a gun-toting, chemically altered Rhinoceros White Man who eats tons of processed food and whose beliefs don't match the Rastas' aside the partaking of a certain plant. Despite that, he's actually quite adept at playing, ska, reggae, and his namesake's music. When there's some downtime at the Technodrome, Tocksteady puts on his dreadlock wig, fake beard and begins to jam, mon!
Metalhead:
Disguised yes
Sports no
Music yes
Completely normal Turtle Metalhead:
Picture Metalhead "disguised" as a normal turtle. If you're getting Terminator vibes out of this, you get where I'm going with.
I'm thinking new torso that is a cross between Classic Rocker Leo but with punker Don's jacket.
New thighs without holes in the pants and reusing the classic Rocker Leo lower legs.
Reusing punker Don's shoulders and right arm, with a new Left arm with battle damage, showing the cyborg bits underneath.
Left hands would all be Metalhead's while Right hands are from normal turtles.
For heads we get a slightly oversized "normal turtle head with a Schwarzenegger inspired smile. The other head would be a Terminator styled half endoskeleton revealed face.
For accessories we get
Metalhead's nunchaku
New Arm cannon
He's not a cybernetic organism mimicking the appearance of a turtle. He is a turtle and you cannot prove that he is not... as he has the tools to terminate those who oppose him.
New Wave Metalhead:
I'm thinking a robotic mix of Boy George and A Flock of Seagulls, and a hint of Devo.
For accessories:
-New synthesizer with speakers backpack
-New Microphone left hand (yes, the hand turns into a microphone)
-return of the Whip it hand... (yes, that's the reason for this variant)
-2× rocket attachment for his fists and stands. (He needs a rocket punch!)
Synthesizers are the new wave! Metalhead will bring forth the Technocratic Revolution on music. No longer music is being gatekept behind education and theory, when you can become a maestro with the push of a button! All hail our new Musical Overlord, Metalhead!
April O'Neil:
Disguised yes
Sports yes
Music yes
April the Mutant Wrangler:
If you're visualizing April as a Steve Irwin ersatz, you'd be correct. Best part is that Super7 would already have half a body done, since she'd reuse April's torso, crotch, and arms. She'd only need new legs and feet...
I see an alternate head with a Crocodile Dundee hat. I gwarantee that Leatherhead won't like it one bit.
For accessories I see the following
-A new Knoife
-stingray proof removable floating vest.
-Mutant stun rod
-anti-Triceraton tranquilizer rifle
After an incident with Triceratons while in the land down under, April decided to train with various animal wranglers and rescuers to find ways to take down evil mutants in non-lethal ways. (If Walkabout is doable insert a reference to him here. If not, use Guerrilla Gorilla)
Triathlon April:
Basically April in a yellow and white Triathlon unitard with black and yellow triathlon shoes.
For accessories, she'd need 2 new heads
Head 1 with swimcap and removable goggles
Head 2 has her hair tied up in a ponytail
Head 3 is obviously normal April.
For hands we get the standard hands and maybe a "Victory/Peace" set of hands.
Now the rest of her accessories:
-News Bike helmet with camera and microphone that pops on the swimcap head.
-Channel 6 Newsbike (a triathlon bike with basic articulation, wheels roll and handle can turn. Pedal articulation is optional. No real rubber on tires)
-display stand for bike
-water bottle
-soft goods towel
April doesn't just report the news, she makes the news. After getting tangled in incidenta involving the Trutles fighting the Foot, April decided to train herself into a totally radical athlete. Takong marathons, swimming, and biking competitions, April has been training into becoming Channel 6's own Triathlon Champion.
Glam Rock April:
I forgot where I mentioned it, but crossing Jem and Janet Gardner from Vixen could give us a VERY Rocking 80s styled April. I'm leaning towards the April yellows combined with black to give April a more Rocking vibe and the whites that normally accompany April's palette would be replaced by silver to keep the rock edge...
3 heads for April:
Normal April head with Rockstar makeup
April with a glam wig and Rockstar makeup
Winking April with glam wig no rockstar makeup.
For accessories, I'm thinking:
-Rockstar Microphone
-outrageous Amplifier
-Glamorous Guitar
-Martial sash
As a child, April O'Neil dreamed of being in the spotlight. After having a taste of the spotlight at a karaoke bar while celebrating Burne's 51st birthday; April bought herself a wig, some makeup and outrageous outfits to take the musical world by storm.

Dr. Gecko: Archeologist
Visualize Mondo as an Archeologist/Adventurer.

One with the Famous Archeologist's fedora.
The second head has an "unaccompanied" smuggler hairdo.

-2× Whip (coiled and in action pose)
-Mauser Broomhandle with scope (no fancy barrel, since Mondo is no nerf herder)
-Slice & Dice Scimitar

-Crystal Turtleoid skull
-The Hyperstone
Raiding tombs, pilfering temples, and protecting the world from dangerous ancient artifacts is the Job of dr. Gecko, Archeologist. Not all archeological digs are boring events as dr. Gecko faces threats from Krang, the Foot, and the Triceraton empire who want the Earth for their nefarious plans.
Hyper street lugin' Mondo Gecko.
It's Mondo Gecko in a yellow and purple strwet luge outfit with helmet, visor, and unitard.
Accessories:
-Alternate tail that can be used on the luge. (Tail Skate has functional wheels)
-Special Turbo Luge with gap to fit in Mondo's tail whose design is based on mondo's skateboard.
Mondo's got the need for speed and Donatello's custom Hyper Street Luge gives the tubular gecko the speed he needs. This special luge is lightweight and allows Mondo to leap at high speeds by pushing himself off the ground with his tail.

Casey comes from a long line of vigilantes and outlaws. He's a descendant of one of Richard the Lionheart's knights, Sir Bernid Iones, duke of Goongala, defender of the weak and bane of the corrupt. After finding a set of armor and a weapons cache believed to belong to Sir Iones, Casey put it on and decided to deliver justice just like his ancestor did nearly a millennium ago.
Coach Jones:
Picture Casey as an 80s High School Coach.
Polo shirt a few sizes too small with broken sleeves. Should look like a crop top on Casey.
Short shorts kinda like the ones from Richard Simmons. Knee high socks and reuse Casey's senakers. The arms would be the normal Casey arms.
For accessories:
3 heads:
Normal Casey head with a trucker hat.
Normal Casey head with a whistle jammed in the middle mouth hole.

Masked casey head with cowboy hat

Wave 5:
Leatherhead:
Disguised

-Brawlin' Banjo
-Squealy the Harmonica playing pig boy (picture a redneck stereotype with a harmonica crossed with a piglet)
-xxx jug
-captivating shackles
Bring back his old bear trap, shotgun, and belt accessories.
Down in the bayou, if you hear banjo and harmonica music, your best bet is to paddle faster and as far away as possible. That's Leatherhead and Squealy playing their music of Mayhem and they're looking for an audience. Once trapped by the captivating shackles, Leatherhead offers them some music and a life changing gumbo filled with Ooze to make better prey for the hunt.
Ray Fillet:
Disguised yes

The Man Ray:

Krang:
Disguised no
Sports yes
Music no
Go-Krang!:
It's Krang in a go-kart whose design elements are reminiscent of the bubble walker.
Obviously the "go-kart is new" and should have ports to attach certain accessories. Sizewise just a smidge longer than the bubble walker but not by much. The front ports should be Compatible with the bubble walker arms. The ports at the bottom and back should be compatible with each other.
-new squinting "determined" Krang head.
-New krang with a go-karaing helmet with a design inspired by the Technodrome's eye.
