Zanramon was the ruling dictator of the [[Triceraton Republic (2003 TV series)|Triceraton Republic]] seeking the [[Teleportal]] device to use against the [[Federation (2003 TV series)|Federation]]. His troops managed to capture the [[Professor Honeycutt (2003 TV series)|Fugitoid]] and the [[Ninja Turtles (2003 TV series)|Ninja Turtles]]. When Professor Honeycutt was brought to him, he offers the robot full civil rights and privileges of a [[Triceratons (2003 TV series)|Triceraton]] citizen, but eventually resorts to forcing Honeycutt to build his teleporter lest he execute the Turtles. However, the eventually Turtles survive both the Triceraton prison and the gladiatorial arena with the aid of [[Traximus]], and take the prime leader hostage. Zanramon was taken hostage, long enough for the Turtles to shanghai his personal space cruiser to make their getaway. When the Turtles and the Fugitoid were cornered by both the Federation and the Republic, they were pulled out by a timely teleportation, courtesy of the [[Utrom (2003 TV series)|Utroms]].

Zanramon was the ruthless Prime Leader of the [[Triceraton Republic (Mirage)|Triceraton Republic]] who led the war against the [[Federation (Mirage)|Federation]] of [[D'Hoonib (Mirage)|D'Hoonib]] in the [[Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Mirage comic book]]. Originally, the society of the [[Triceratons (Mirage)|Triceratons]] was a democratic republic, but eventually Zanramon succeeded, to seize the sole power in the state itself, and to transform it into a dictatorship. Under his ambition the Triceratons undertook more conquests in the galaxy, which ultimately resulted in a bitter war with the Federation. This conflict was sparked livid, as both sides learned of a new [[Transmat (Mirage)|Transmat]] that the Federation scientist [[Professor Honeycutt (Mirage)|Professor Honeycutt]] had invented. Agents and the military were sent to capture the professor who was caught in a robot body, but just by chance the [[Ninja Turtles (Mirage)|Ninja Turtles]] were accidentally transported by an [[Utrom (Mirage)|Utrom]] teleporter to this galaxy in the way of the the hunting groups. Since the Turtles were therefore now also being chased by the Federation, they began to protect Honeycutt from his pursuers.
 
   
 
Zanramon remained in office despite his defeat. Eventually, after the escape of the Turtles and Honeycutt back to [[Earth]] the Triceratons managed to trace the Fugitoid to Earth months later. Zanramon orders a full-scale invasion on the planet and invaded it in hopes of capturing him under the all-consuming ambition to get the Teleportal into his hands. The Triceraton takeover was swift, and Zanramon was not afraid, to take the whole Earth hostage, and addressed the leaders of the world to bring the Triceratons the Fugitoid or the Earth is destroyed - also revealing [[Donatello (2003 TV series)|Donatello]] to the entire world (though this thankfully has no lasting effects on the Turtles' secrecy). Humanity ultimately loses the battle with the Triceratons, when even the [[Justice Force (2003 TV series)|Justice Force]] and nuclear weapons can't turn the tide. The Turtles return, rescue Donatello, and once again steal Zanramon's cruiser, to his rage. When Donatello was captured and brought before Zanramon for questioning, he was unable to convince the Triceraton leader that the Fugitoid was not on Earth (at least at the time of the Triceraton invasion), until he convinced him to scan for his positronic energy signature. However nothing was found, convincing him to break off the invasion. Unfortunately, just as the Triceratons pulled out, Professor Honeycutt returned to Earth to surrender himself to the Triceratons, and once again Zanramon sent his forces down to Earth to capture the Fugitoid.
Despite all efforts, the Turtles and Honeycutt were eventually captured by Zanramon. To his end, Zanramon sought the Transmat device created by Professor Honeycutt for the Republic's use against the Federation. Zanramon presented the professor with an ultimatum either to build the Transmat or having to be responsible for the execution of his new friends. The Turtles captivity is short-lived, however, as they managed not only to free themselves and the Fugitoid from their captivity but to take Zanramon hostage as well. While making their escape, unfortunately, Zanramon was accidentally shot by his own guards and presumed dead by the Turtles. Zanramon is not heard of again until [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (vol 4) 28|TMNT (vol. 4) #28]], where [[Michelangelo (Mirage)|Michelangelo]] is informed that Zanramon had survived his injuries, and was no longer Prime Leader of the Triceratons: after the debacle over the Fugitoid's escape, the then-leader lost political capital, and he was quickly deposed by opposing factions. His current fate is unknown.
 
   
 
To [[Mozar (2003 TV series)|Mozar]], his military commander's disgust, Zanramon exhibits increasing amounts of ruthlessness. When the Fugitoid released a virus that stopped the Federation ships cold, Zanramon ordered his ships to open fire on his helpless enemies and even abandoned a squadron of his own scouts. His ruthlessness eventually riled Mozar, when [[Traximus]] and his rebels arrived and Zanramon in his obsession and arrogance finally went so far that he threw the last principles of his honor overboard and ordered an attack on fellow Triceratons, Commander Mozar refused to carry out that order and allowed Traximus's Triceraton rebellion to overthrow Zanramon. Zanramon is immediately dethroned by Traximus' army and was last seen locked in a cell opposite of his arch-enemy former Federation leader [[General Blanque (2003 TV series)|General Blanque]], where the two despite Traximus' hopes, that they may finally learn to appreciate the value of peace, stubbornly continued their war - albeit now on a more face-to-face level. Whether the two adversaries ever come to their senses, remains unclear.

Many personal characteristics of Zanramon's, in particular the mercilessness and bloodlust of his 2003 version (see below) can be found in the [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (IDW)|IDW comics]], in the figure of the [[Ratsherr Nieli|Councilman Nieli]].

Zanramon is a dishonorable, arrogant, cowardly and ruthless Triceraton who only cares about his own power. A selfish creature, Zanramon will not hesitate to sacrifice his own men in order to protect himself.

Zanramon was the dictatorial Triceraton Prime Leader and an enemy of Ninja Turtles, Traximus and Professor Honeycutt.

Biography

Zanramon was the ruling dictator of the Triceraton Republic seeking the Teleportal device to use against the Federation. His troops managed to capture the Fugitoid and the Ninja Turtles. When Professor Honeycutt was brought to him, he offers the robot full civil rights and privileges of a Triceraton citizen, but eventually resorts to forcing Honeycutt to build his teleporter lest he execute the Turtles. However, the eventually Turtles survive both the Triceraton prison and the gladiatorial arena with the aid of Traximus, and take the prime leader hostage. Zanramon was taken hostage, long enough for the Turtles to shanghai his personal space cruiser to make their getaway. When the Turtles and the Fugitoid were cornered by both the Federation and the Republic, they were pulled out by a timely teleportation, courtesy of the Utroms.

Zanramon remained in office despite his defeat. Eventually, after the escape of the Turtles and Honeycutt back to Earth the Triceratons managed to trace the Fugitoid to Earth months later. Zanramon orders a full-scale invasion on the planet and invaded it in hopes of capturing him under the all-consuming ambition to get the Teleportal into his hands. The Triceraton takeover was swift, and Zanramon was not afraid, to take the whole Earth hostage, and addressed the leaders of the world to bring the Triceratons the Fugitoid or the Earth is destroyed - also revealing Donatello to the entire world (though this thankfully has no lasting effects on the Turtles' secrecy). Humanity ultimately loses the battle with the Triceratons, when even the Justice Force and nuclear weapons can't turn the tide. The Turtles return, rescue Donatello, and once again steal Zanramon's cruiser, to his rage. When Donatello was captured and brought before Zanramon for questioning, he was unable to convince the Triceraton leader that the Fugitoid was not on Earth (at least at the time of the Triceraton invasion), until he convinced him to scan for his positronic energy signature. However nothing was found, convincing him to break off the invasion. Unfortunately, just as the Triceratons pulled out, Professor Honeycutt returned to Earth to surrender himself to the Triceratons, and once again Zanramon sent his forces down to Earth to capture the Fugitoid.
