The Ultimate Rat Catcher appears in the 1987 TV series episode "Return of the Shredder". It is built out of a stolen excavator. Baxter Stockman uses it to kidnap Splinter, and bring him to the Slash for Cash Gym.

When the Turtles arrived at the gym to rescue Splinter, Baxter bursts in through the wall in the Ultimate Rat Catcher to catch the Turtles, but the Turtles damaged its weapons and tires, causing it to spin out of control and Baxter to evacuate the vehicle. As Raphael attempted to control the vehicle, Shredder cuts the rope holding the battering ram, sending it to crush Splinter, but Leonardo cuts Splinter's ropes and pulls him out of the way, just as Raphael drove the vehicle into the battering ram's path, and he leapt out just as the battering ram destroyed the vehicle.
