Bebop and Rocksteady's Gang were an unnamed 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.
