Bebop and Rocksteady's gang (1987 TV series)

Bebop and Rocksteady's Gang were a gang of street punks who were mutated by the Shredder using the mutagen made by Krang.

Bebop and Rocksteady's gang were seen in Season 1, 3 and 5 of the 1987 TV series, and in "Heroes in a Half-Shell, Part 1" in the Archie Comics series.

Trivia

• It is unknown why Bebop and Rocksteady's original gang were mutated but never were used.

• It is also unknown what happened after Shredder & Splintered, but it was seen that Scrag was briefly turned back into a human, when Shredder was on the TV Talking to the Turtles and Splinter and showed them what will happen if a mutant is hit by his Retromutagen Ray Generator. But he is seen as a bat again later when he is in a cage with the other mutants. Lugnut and gang members from "The Gang's All Here" appear in "Once Upon a Time Machine." But it is not said what happened to the other members of the gang.
