Tokka & Rahzar- Unusual Cameos in the Cartoon's Later Era:
-Tokka & Rahzar have an unusual role in the 1987 series- coming on the tails of the second
TMNT movie, they naturally make an appearance, but it's so completely out of character as to basically make them two entirely different creatures! Instead of being brain-dead infants, they're standard-issue Talking Mutants, going on their merry way! They appear in the beginning of
Dirk Savage: Mutant Hunter, which sees the aforementioned hunter capture Tokka, in addition to numerous other mutants. This was in 1993, WAAAYYYYYYYY after the show's peak (six years is much longer than most cartoons last), but I still remember watching this one and having my first "WTF? The show changed something!" moments with the show altering the source material (Mirage fans of course had this reaction WAY earlier).
-Rahzar in particular is rather eloquent, to a bizarre degree. He speaks in a low-pitched, upper-class accent, moaning about how "you are my ONLY FRIEND..." to Tokka, then pledging vengeance upon Dirk Savage for capturing his terrapin ally. The two characters are basically on-model from the show & toys (Tokka actually uses a repurposed Slash mold, something I noticed even as a kid- his cloth bits and weapons are identical).
Tokka & Rahzar in Other Continuities:
-Tokka is based off of a Mirage Comics one-off- Terrorpin- the largest alligator snapping turtle on record, which lives in the New York sewer system and nearly kills Leonardo when he stumbles upon it while searching for a new home for his family. In
Turtles Forever, members of Ch’rell’s army got mutated, a few turning into variants of Tokka & Rahzar. Rahzar's name got re-used for the Nickelodeon series, as "Dogpound" soon got turned into an undead-looking giant dog-monster, and was renamed "Rahzar" by Michaelangelo- Tokka's name was given to some giant monster: a titanic turtle-monster with magma pouring out of it- the Triceratons finally defeat the female creature by causing a star to go supernova and teleporting out. However, she returns in a later episode and attacks- the Turtles are able to convince her to back off after giving her the creature she’d adopted and had taken away from her. When she realizes the critter, now adopted as a pet of Raphael’s, was being well cared for, she backed off and allowed him to stay. In the IDW Comics, Tokka & Rahzar appear as backgrounders in Old Hob’s army of mutants.
Tokka & Rahzar's Stats:
-I include the toys' weaponry for completion's sake (Tokka uses a Sai, Sword & Clubbed Staff, while Rahzar had a Staff), but the guys are actually QUITE powerful in the cartoon. Tokka is captured pretty easily, but Rahzar fights more like an agile Dexmonkey- he actually DEFEATS Savage (who, by this point, had captured Leonardo, Michaelangelo, two Punk Frogs and Tokka), and has to be stopped by Donnie & Raph, who use Savage's own gear to stop the wolf. Neither Wolf nor Snapping Turtle are seen again in the series (Rahzar actually stops showing up when he's bagged by the TMNT).
Other Tokka & Rahzar Toys: Mutatin' Tokka, Mutatin' Rahzar, Warrior Rahzar (unreleased figure- looks just like Grizzlor from the
She-Ra line- a merkin with limbs)
