(EDIT - Kiz: I changed these to links since the image distorted the size of the pages.)

For those that don't know:
Leonardo wears blue, has two ninjaken (Though every incarnation mistakenly calls them katana), & leads.
Donatello wears purple, has a single bo, & does machines.
Raphael wears red, has 2 sai, & is cool but rude.
Michelangelo wears orange, has 2 nunchaku, & is a party dude.

Some references, for those that need them or just for plain entertainment:

2003 cartoon opening

I was always stuck between Leonardo and Donatello (I voted Donatello this time). Leonardo has swords, and Donatello has a staff... two of my favorite weapons. And I most go with their manners... especially Donatello.

I always liked Raphael and Donatello, but I voted Raphael since he had no vote yet. ^_^'

I remember watching the old cartoon every mourning when I was younger. I had a line up I watched that included some shark (Sewer Sharks...I think??) thing, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, that Mario cartoon, and Sonic the Hedgehog.

I was the same as you Sonic. It was always between Leonardo and Donatello. I think I started with Donatello, and switched to Leonardo at some point.

I voted Michelangelo, but truthfully I'm stuck between him and Leonardo.
I always liked Michelangelo for his carefree funny personality and his party animal side. Plus, Robbie Rist was his voice actor in the original movies, and Robbie's a pretty cool guy lol.

As for Leo, I like leaders. His sense of justice and level-headedness was always a plus in my book. James Arnold Taylor was his VA in the newer TMNT movie, and Mike Sinterniklaas voiced him in the newer cartoons. I'm fond of James' work, and I recently met Mike at a con. He's very funny and nice. :)

So I suppose I'm a little biased towards the Turtles' VAs. xD But it's a toss up between those two.

I watched the very same line up! I never missed an episode of SatAM Sonic. :D Wasn't the old Zelda cartoon in there somewhere as well? I used to watch that too. Ah, this reminds me of all the old cartoons I used to watch. Alvin and the Chipmunks, Beetlejuice, Adams Family, Tales from the Crypt Keeper....

Easy, Donatello. I thought he had the most skill with his weapon, and I liked how he was always billed as the brains of the group. Also, whenever we used to play TMNT when I was little, I was always Donatello.

I also like how he's Tech Support in the new TMNT movie. KF

Voted Donatello. i'm surprised to see him having the most votes. also, the entire soundtrack to TMNT turtles in time should be posted. that definitely needs a VC release.

I'd imagine TMNT 4 will get a VC console release eventually. I mean, Castlevania & Ghosts'n Goblins went way out of order, so we don't necessarily need to wait for 2 & 3 to be released first.

Yeah, my choice was determined a lot by how I played the games. Especially the ones for the SNES... I forget what they were. Otherwise, I might still be a Raphael fan.

It's all about Raphael for me. Sure, he was a self-absorbed jerk, but he ended up that way because he spent the most time pondering his place in the world and grew to be genuinely dissatisfied with it. If I lived in a sewer I'd probably be just like him.

I'd like Raphael more if it wasn't for the fact that it seems all the movies are about him, and his whole angst with trying to find his place in the world. KF

I think he's focused on most because his personal journey is the most realistic and human of the four turtles. After all, what else is being a teenager about, besides first trying to figure out who you are?
