The Turtle Van is the Hero Turtles' primary form of transportation in the Fleetway comics. The back of the van is equipped with sensors and monitors. One of the gadgets in the van is the Turtle Launcher, a catapult-like mechanical device which propels the Turtles at great speed through the retractable top of the van.
History[]
The Hero Turtles take the Turtle Van on a test drive through an abandoned factory site. They successfully perform a full lock left, handbrake turn and then Raphael takes the van up a ramp. It soars over several stacks of tires before coming down in a safe landing. The Ambush!
When Shredder creates his own fake taxi-cab company in order to kidnap rich businessmen for ransom, the Turtles take on the case. They pursue on the the taxis in their Turtle Van, with Donatello at the wheel. He drives up a ramp at one point in order to leap over a crowded intersection and then when a bridge starts to go up, he takes the van up one side, over a chasm, and down to a hard landing on the other. When they reach the old, deserted garage Shredder uses as a hideout, Don drives the van straight through the closed garage door. The Taxi-Cab Grab
Donatello uses the Turtle Van to distract Krang and Shredder while the other Turtles sneak up behind the villains in Central Park. Shredder uses the Giant Crystal Hourglass on the van and causes it to break up into its unbuilt parts. Time Terror
