During an altercation with these aliens, Hamato and the turtles are exposed to an alien chemical called mutagen and they undergo major physical transformations. Hamato Yoshi becomes a humanoid rat and the turtles become human/turtle hybrids. Splinter retreats to the New York City sewers, where he raises the four turtles as his sons and imparts to them his knowledge of ninjutsu. Now teenagers, the Turtles venture to the surface for the first time and learn that the Kraang is using the mutagen as part of their plan to take over New York City. The Turtles befriend the teenage April O'Neil after she and her scientist father Kirby are abducted by the Kraang. While Kirby remains a prisoner of the Kraang, April becomes an ally of the Turtles as they help her to find out where the Kraang have taken her father. The Turtles also learn that Splinter's long-time enemy Oroku Saki (Shredder) has ordered his Foot Clan to track down Splinter and his sons, and put an end to their clan. == Notes == * Although the theme was officially launched in January 2013, the sets have been available at Toys R Us, LEGOLAND, the LEGO Store and Shop At Home since at least December [[2012]] in U.S.A. * Most of the TMNT minifigures have molds that were designed exclusively for them. == List of sets == === Animated Series === ;Regular Sets {{ThemeTable/renovations |79100 Kraang Lab Escape |79101 Shredder's Dragon Bike |79102 Stealth Shell in Pursuit |79103 Turtle Lair Attack |79104 The Shellraiser Street Chase |79105 Baxter Robot Rampage |79118 Karai Bike Escape |79119 Mutation Chamber Unleashed |79120 T-Rawket Sky Strike |79121 Turtle Sub Undersea Chase |79122 Shredder's Lair Rescue }} ;Promotional sets * [[Antonio's Pizza-Rama Pizza]] * [[The Kraang Rockefeller Center LEGO Store Promotional Set]] * [[Dark Turtle New York Comic-Con Promotional Set]] * [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Poster]] * [[850838 Splinter Key Chain]] * [[850646 Donatello Key Chain]] * [[850648 Leonardo Key Chain]] * [[850653 Michelangelo Key Chain]] * [[850656 Raphael Key Chain]] * [[30270 Kraang Laser Turret]] * [[30271 Mikey's Mini-Shellraiser]] === Live Action Movie === {{ThemeTable/renovations |79115 Turtle Van Takedown |79116 Big Rig Snow Getaway |79117 Turtle Lair Invasion }} == Minifigures == {{incomplete}} {{MinifigureGallery |img1=Aprilbetterpic.JPG |txt1=[[April O'Neil]] |img2=Baxter stockman.png |txt2=[[Baxter Stockman]] |img3=Dark_Ninja.png |txt3=[[Dark Ninja]] |img5=79104dogpound-1349963347.jpg |txt5=[[Dogpound]] |img6=79105donatello-1349963376.jpg |txt6=[[Donatello]] |img7=TMNT Dummy.png |txt7=[[Dummy (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)|Dummy]] |img8=Fishface.png |txt8=[[Fishface]] |img9=79101footsoldier-1349963354.jpg |txt9=[[Foot Soldier]] |img10=79104kraang-1349963363.jpg |txt10=[[The Kraang]] |img11=The Kraang promo.JPG |txt11=The Kraang |img12=Kraang2.png |txt12=The Kraang |img13=79103leonardo-1349963332.jpg |txt13=[[Leonardo]] |img14=Dark Turtle.jpg |txt14=Leonardo (Dark Turtle) |img15=79104mikey-1349963370.jpg |txt15=[[Michelangelo]] |img16=Mouser.png |txt16=[[Mouser]] |img17=79103raphael-1349963336.jpg |txt17=[[Raphael]] |img18=79101shredder-1349963326.jpg |txt18=[[Shredder]] |img19=79103splinter-1349963341.jpg |txt19=[[Splinter]] }} == Gallery == <gallery> TMNT ad.jpg|A teaser image from the LEGO Club magazine Tmnt turtles.png|Digital renderings of the turtles Pic.PNG|Poster promoting the theme TMNTFigs.jpg|The Theme's Mini Figures.
