Description[edit | edit source]
Red[edit | edit source]
Shredder's helmet is metallic silver and has three horns on the top that are connected to a ridge that runs above his eye slot. The bottom of his eye slot has a metal veil that hides his mouth. His head has a neutral expression, with one of his eyes white and half of his head is heavily scarred and disfigured. Shredder wears silver, metal pauldrons that have three blades on each side the same pieces are used for weapons by the Hassansin in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. He also has a dark blue cape that sits on his pauldrons. The dark red torso is printed with armour plates, a purple belt with the Saki crest on it. Kneepads and the continuation of the armour are on the dark red legs.
Black[edit | edit source]
This version is the same as the previous with some small changes. The body is all now all black, and is printed on the back showing the armour being held by a silver ring and belt. The cape is now purple and the face has an angry expression with the orange scarring in a different print.
Movie[edit | edit source]
A variant based on his film appearance will be released.
Flashback[edit | edit source]
This variant features black hair combed to one side and a scowling expression, with lines to give the face shape. He wears a sleeveless robe featuring his part of his chest showing. The robe features grey lining on the robe and the Foot insignia on either side, and is tied at the bottom with a purple belt. He has blain black legs. He comes with his standard claws.
Background[edit | edit source]
Long ago, Oroku Saki was good friends with Hamato Yoshi. However, both men fell in love with the same woman, Tang Shen, which sparked a bitter rivalry between them. Eventually Tang Shen married Yoshi and gave birth to his daughter Miwa. One night, Saki, mad with jealousy and hatred, attacked Yoshi in his home intending to kill him. Saki slashed a house onto Yoshi killing his wife and leaving Saki badly wounded. This infuriated Saki to the point of taking away Yoshi's daughter Miwa as punishment, which left him isolated. He renamed her Karai, raised her as his own and told her a twisted version of her history, in which Yoshi and Saki's roles were switched.
He amassed a army of ninjas known as the Foot Clan and was a master of ninjitsu, surpassing the turtles and only equaled by Splinter. He joined forces with The Kraang, due to their common enemy in the Turtles, and made Robo Foot Ninjas for him. Among his disciples are his right hand Bradford, Tiger Claw, and Xever. Upon realization that Splinter had survived the fight fifteen years ago, Shredder deployed his army to travel to America with intent to kill Splinter once and for all.
They battled twice, with Shredder mocking Splinter's form and revealing Karai's true past to him. The second time Karai, who had been told the truth about her past and was questioning her loyalty, saved Splinter.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- His helmet is also used by the Dummy from 79103 Turtle Lair Attack, and the Dummy itself is supposed to resemble Shredder.
