This is something that has been on my mind for some time now.

Similar to how Fast Forward and Back to the Sewer are treated as subseries of the 2003 TV series in their own right (with their own Char Appear data, etc.), I was thinking that After the Bomb and its associated supplement books should be treated as a subseries of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Other Strangeness. The reasons for this are: I find this fascinating as what is effectively an anti-crossover, where material originally conceived as part of TMNT continues to live on as a non-TMNT franchise. In any event, I think it would be fair to treat the After the Bomb scenarios as a subseries in its own right. 
 * Only some of the Palladium books take place in the contemporary 1980s. After the Bomb is a specific future postapocalyptic scenario written by Palladium.  This includes the source books After the Bomb, Road Hogs, Mutants Down Under, Mutants of the Yucatan, and Mutants in Avalon.  The scenarios are briefly referenced in the time travel context of Transdimensional Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
 * Importantly, when Palladium allowed their TMNT license to expire without renewing it, they discontinued materials like TMNT&OS itself (along with Transdimensional TMNT, etc.), but continued publishing the After the Bomb scenarios stripped of their already sparse direct relation to TMNT. So even though After the Bomb was originally conceived as a supplement for TMNT&OS, its later editions are not published or promoted as TMNT-related works.
