Plot

Herman the Horrible along with recruits Groundchuck and Dirtbag destroy the power source to the force dome shield leaving the city vulnerable. The Turtleoids accuse the TMNT of sabotage and throw them in prison. Despite all this, Donatello still appreciates Shell-Ri-La for being a turtle planet, whereas Michelangelo says Shell-Ri-La has none of the things that the Turtles appreciate on Earth, such as rock & roll, video games or pizza, and Raphael chimes in that the Turtleoids have proven themselves just as biased towards the Turtles as have humans back on Earth. Leonardo protests that they must escape and confront the two-headed monster Herman the Horrible, which all agree on that. Kerma helps the TMNT escape by giving them standard Turtleoid attire. As Donatello dons a Turtleoid robe he remarks at the irony; he could understand sneaking around disguised on Earth; a human planet, but here they were on a planet of turtles and they must once again sneak around disguised!

The turtles decide to end Herman the Horrible's reign of terror once and for all. After Leonardo discovers Herman is no more than a machine, Donatello blasts him with a Pulverizer Ray and Herman the Horrible is soon revealed to be no more than two corrupt Turtleoid leaders who are sick of just using gold for energy and want real gold things. They attempted to overthrow Shellri-La's government. After capturing Shredder's mutants as well the turtle teens decide to return home, but are at least thanked by Kerma for saving Shell-Ri-La and says he may return to see them one day. Meanwhile Shredder's newly created Chrome Dome leads an army of Foot Soldiers to build a smaller version of the Technodrome named the Mini Technodrome. Once the turtles have returned they destroy both the new Technodrome and Chrome Dome. Raphael is sorry Donatello had to leave Shell-Ri-La, but Don remarks he is glad to be back on Earth, for Shell-Ri-La had no video games, and worst of all, no pizza!

Quotes

• Groundchuck: Hog-tied by a dang blasted turtle. How humiliating!

• Shredder: This is your wake-up call, Miss O'Neil. Don't you wish to see the finished construction? (showing April the Mini Technodrome) Behold! The Technodrome, Mark II!
• April: You built a mini Technodrome overnight?!
• Shredder: (cut to shot of Chrome Dome exiting the vehicle) It's amazing what you can accomplish when you have motivated workers. (He and Chrome Dome enter the vehicle) Farewell, Miss O'Neil! It's been nice knowing you!
• April: (watching helplessly) Why do I suddenly feel like a sitting duck?

Notes and errors

• Groundchuck's right gauntlet flashes from red and back to green when Michelangelo hog-ties him with his grappling hook.
• The dark markings on Michaelangelo's shell are oversized after Kerma opens the hole in the force-dome.
• The blades on Raphael's sais are missing when Kerma hands Leonardo the force-dome door opening device.
• Shortly after Herman the Horrible finally enters Shell-Ri-La, Donatello can be see with Leonardo's colors.
• When the Turtles and April gather for Kerma's journey home, Donatello is seen with an intact bo-staff on his belt after his broke while fighting Chrome Dome, but is seen with the broken pieces on his belt back in the lair afterward.
• Groundchuck's metal face mask is colored red after he and Dirtbag destroy the force-dome generator.
