Synopsis[]
In the warehouse, Baxter Stockman gloats over capturing the Turtles. While his attention is diverted, the Turtles stop playing dead and take the Robotanimals by surprise. Leonardo slices off a piece of Slash's face and then they escape with a smoke bomb. Baxter is disappointed with the intelligence of his creations but figures his Nanobot 2.0 upgrade will be an improvement.
Down in Donnie's lab, after inspecting the piece of Slash that Leo chopped off, he determines that the Nanobots are only encasing the Mutanimals like a suit of armor. However, they're also mutating and soon there won't be any way to reverse the process. Donnie figures he can work on an antidote and begins typing up the code while his brothers, especially Raphael, urge him to work faster.
April O'Neil and Casey Jones then show up (at Mikey's beckoning) and they join in on telling Donnie to hurry up. A fight breaks out with the frustrated Donnie, which Splinter quickly resolves. Raph apologizes and Donnie finishes the antidote, though he can only synthesize enough for one shot.
In the Party Wagon, the Turtles follow the signal of the Nanobots in hopes of finding the Robotanimals. Instead, they find the roboticized Antrax and Scumbug, who have captured Fishface and Rahzar. They engage the insects in battle, but they release more Nanobots in the skirmish. Casey is unharmed, but April is infected due to her part-mutant DNA and goes catatonic.
Baxter then arrives with the Robotanimals and takes an interest in April, realizing that she's the key to perfecting his robot-mutant process. The Robotanimals attack, but Casey manages to detonate the antidote bomb, restoring the Mutanimals to their former selves. In the confusion, Baxter, Antrax and Scumbug escape with Fishface, Rahzar and April. The Turtles and the Mutanimals vow to team up, defeat Baxter and rescue April.
