Techno Cosmic Research Institute (2003 TV series)

In the 2003 cartoon, T.C.R.I.'s original branch was in Japan, but Yukio Mashimi one of the Guardians betrayed the Utroms to the Utrom Shredder, so they withdrew to New York in North America. While in the original Mirage Comics, they had been in New York the entire time and had nothing to do with the Shredder. During a fateful day, a company truck had lost a container of mutagen into the sewers, while at the same time, four baby turtles also went into the sewers. The building was under attack by the National Guard and the Utrom Shredder (in the 2003 series) in recent years, causing the Utroms to return back to their home world. In the first arcade game in the parking lot scene, a TCRI logo can be seen on one of the vans.
