The Humvee is a primary means of transportation of the Turtles in the Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation TV series. Humvee stands for High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle and is a four-wheel drive utility vehicle. The series Humvee has a New York license plate that reads "TRTL PWR" (Turtle Power).
The Humvee is only referenced by that name in the show, by the Turtles and Splinter. It is an open topped vehicle painted in camouflage green. The Humvee is primarily driven by Leonardo but is driven by Michaelangelo on occasion, especially when he is doing his live radio show. During those times, there is a small satellite dish mounted in the back of the Humvee.
In the episode East Meets West, Part 4 the Turtles are escaping in the Humvee, when Leonardo stops at a Stop sign because "Ninjas always obeys the rules of the road". The Rank begins firing on them, and Leonardo flips a switch on the dashboard to activate the top mounted fire repellent tubes, effectively coating the Rank in the chemical and knocking them down.
Most scenes of the Humvee are stock footage, and the activation sequence is played in nearly every episode.

- Playmates released a toy version of The Next Mutation Humvee in 1997 and gave it the name "Mutant Marauder".
