Foot-Bots, or Robotic Foot Soldiers, are the mechanical versions of Shredder's minions built by the Kraang to strengthen the Foot Clan.

Description

These enhanced versions of their human counterparts in the Foot Soldiers were built by the Kraang under Shredder's orders, most likely due to the fact that the ordinary human Foot Ninjas were being defeated by the turtles too easily. As far as the robots' appearance goes, they are dressed exactly the same as the regular Foot Ninja, and so, if they stood side by side, the two would be almost impossible to differentiate between. In addition to being much more skilled than the basic Foot Ninja in most arenas - one of these robots' prominent features is their ability to learn from and quickly adapt to their foes' Martial Arts moves.

History

Follow The Leader - Debut

Target: April O'Neil - The "Foot-bots" get upgraded with two extra, hidden arms, each of which have weapons protruding from where the hands would be. They learned how to ice skate, among other things.

Mikey Gets Shellacne - Karai, being the one currently in charge, sends Dogpound and Fishface after Baxter Stockman so that he could take care of their maintenance.

The Good, The Bad and Casey Jones - They follow Casey (who is following Raphael) all the way to the Turtles' lair, and they begin invading it, one by one...much to everyone's dismay. However, the Turtles, Splinter, Casey and April manage to overwhelm the robots after a while, and are able to defeat them in combat. It is unkown if a robot gave way the Turtles' position or not.

The Lonely Mutation Of Baxter Stockman - They present new gliding abillities, with fabric wings similar to flying squirrels'.

Trivia

• The foot-bots' noises are similar to the cat noises made by the M.O.U.S.E.R.S.
• A Robotic Foot Soldier action figure will be released in 2014 by Playmates
• The robotic Foot Soldiers, in sharp contrast to the 1980's versions, are not just flimsy cannon fodder, but deadly, nimble fighters who have excellent Martial Arts skills and are superior to their human counterparts in almost every way, shape, and form. The most telling sign of their abilities is when one was able to hold its own against both Raphael and Casey Jones at the same time.
• When their eyes glow red they make a sound indicating they've learned something new.
