The problem is, with precious few exceptions, regardless of artist, the Triceratons have a long history of being portrayed as ruggedly handsome brutes, almost to the point of fan service. Even with more clothes on, they have a commanding majestic presence. Here are some of the better examples:

Even "plain"-looking Triceratons usually couldn't be called ugly.

But in 2K12, they seem to be going out of their way to make sure Triceratons are unsightly, as if they partially imploded in on themselves and are made of plastic. They're are off-model, uncanny valley, and overall just terribly designed. It feels like a betrayal of a proud TMNT aesthetic tradition.

(And please don't say "no offense"&mdash;it always implicitly draws offense. Better to say "with all due respect.")
