In that, the turtles fought against Triceratons, not the Spasmosaur. The monster was just shown fighting different aliens there. Although that's a minor difference, you can't say the same about the 2003 series episode. As far as we've seen, this upcoming episode has no differences from that old episode except the introduction of a new character named Zeno.

Plus, Traximus was a prominent character since his introduction (which was long after that Mirage issue). I personally think that they wouldn't make another episode this without Traximus. Unless they decide to focus on this new Zeno character who might just steal Trax's thunder if he isn't the new Traximus.
