TMNT 2012 was the third animated TMNT show and it was also the first show to be 3D animated as well the show was very important as well for many reasons as it was the first TMNT project made by nick ever since viacom bought the IP and it bought back many characters that had not been seen for a very long time as the show was a big love Letter to everything TMNT
This show was important as it was the show that made a big time TMNT fan as well the series later on came to and end in 2017 and i kinda was sad that the show was coming to an end since i thought it could of last a bit more longer because it was one of my favorite shows, so the show ended and in the next year we got another brand new TMNT show...... And you all know by now what it was and this year we got a new TMNT show that is part of the mutant mayhem universe...... I and others don't like at all because that show sure dose got the same problems I didn't like at all from the movie.
So yeah in my opinion the TMNT 2012 series was the last good TMNT show and the only good TMNT show from Nick because i wish there was another new TMNT show done right just like the 2012 series, But i really wish and hope that this show can come back for a revival because this show never at all had a proper ending at all and it also had a bunch of plots left unsolved, the finale of this show which was this three part episode which was refer to as raphael's mutant apocalypse arch and i didn't hate these episodes i just didn't like to consider this as a series finale because it didn't felt right also........... these episodes are not consider canon at all but they were planned to be canon when one of the showrunners talk about it in an interview as he wanted to prevent any alteration of the timeline that he and the rest of the crew had built but they didn't end up being canon at all most likely because Nick didn't like what they wanted to do so therefor the raphael's mutant apocalypse arch isn't a true series finale due to it not being canon.
So yeah the TMNT 2012 series never had a proper finale which honestly sucks i always wish it did and also for the show to get a revival but then in 2019 one of the showrunners Ciro Nieli talk in an interview that he believes that it will come back someday

Then this year we got a short story called Kraang Among Us as part of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 40th Anniversary Comics Celebration, in this story we see that kraang prime is revealed to had survive the attack and having been exposed to mutagen again that was leaked out from the Technodrome at the bottom of the ocean as he was left to die as the remains of Kraang Prime were mutated and his cells fed on the creatures living in the river Desiring to consume all that breathes and absorb it into him as now he calls himself "Kraang Primordius'', they later fought him off forcing him to retreat Donnie surmises that if Kraang Primordius spreads through the water system the city will be doomed. Seeing that there isn't much they can do for the time being the Turtles head home. Back in the dojo, Leo kneels before Splinter's family portrait, fearing the worst And elsewhere in the sewers Kraang Primordius is lurking No one is safe...
So yeah this felt like a big teaser of the return of the 2012 turtles like yeah i know they can bring them back and continue the story in the comics but i prefer they just do a revival and give us a season 6 that would be better since this show should came back because i sure don't wanna see tales of the TMNT be the only TMNT show we deserve to have something better plus TMNT 2012 was very successful especially when it came to toys unlike rise.
Like if they do this please do it right and don't include anything freaking woke lgbt dei crap in it because nobody wants that just stay true to what the show was. I have a ton of perfect ideas they can do for a revival in my head and characters they can introduce in the show. Like the one thing i wanna see them do is bring back mutagen man and instead of him getting cured he becomes the hero he wanted to be like they can have him restore his intellect and his ability to speak like maybe have monkey brains be the one the properly fix him since he had somewhat the same problem like him when he got turned into a mutant.
Also it would be nice to reveal what happened to April's mom as we never knew what her fate was as the only thing we got was that one of the producers named Brandon Auman said that April's mom is no longer alive and yeah.... I am not sure why they did that unless they didn't had the time to explore what ever happen to her Mother but i think they should do it and explain what really happened to her even if she might not be Alive. Also make raphael's mutant apocalypse canon and have the future turtles and mira time travel back to the past to warn the past turtles about what is going happen soon so they can Team up and help them prevent this terrible future from happening and find out who created the mutagen bomb, Like have fugitoid be with the future turtles as to have him be the one to help them go back to the past to prevent the apocalypse from happening so the past turtles would find out that fugitoid was still alive the whole time as for who created the mutagen bomb like you can bring back Titanus the mutant warlord from TMNT season 8 as the perfect villain for this to cause this it would be cool to see a forgotten character like him come back as more terrifying in this as i think he be the perfect person to try to cause this.
So was this short comic story proof that we are getting a revival soon I..... Honestly hope there was also a new story of TMNT adventures in it that takes place after raphael broke up with Ninjara where the story introduce casey jones and i am not sure if that's a tease of that Idw will continue the story of TMNT adventures that fans really wanted like me since it's been a long time and yeah i know there is a fan comic that continue the story but i mean......... it's not official at all it's still just an unofficial fan comic at the end of the day.
Like hopefully we gotta wait and see for now not sure if anyone asked Ciro Nieli who made this story if this is a teaser of a TMNT 2012 revival so yeah i would really love to see this show come back and have the proper finale it deserved.
