I believe it influenced some later versions to downplay or negate elements of family as well. The Next Mutation wasn't influenced by the 87 series in that regaurd, they were influenced by future toy sales that they broke the cardinal rule of Eastman and Larid to not add a female turtle. That was their only rule, NO girl turtle, and they broke it.
