comment
Half-Shell Heroes: Blast to the Past is a television special from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise loosely connected to the 2012 TV cartoon. The special draws inspiration from the Half-Shell Heroes toyline, which depicts the Turtles as children who remain fully mutated with their full compartment of ninja skills. It aired on Nickelodeon on November 22, 2015 and was released on DVD on March 15, 2016.In the special, the turtles recover a crystal Shredder's henchmen stole from a museum. Donnie tries to use it as a power source for his transforming turtle robot, but using the robot's rocket boosters accidentally sends the turtles back to dinosaur times with Bebop and Rocksteady hitching a ride. The turtles must find a way back home, but with the Triceratons causing trouble, that's easier said than done.

Mythology Gag: This isn't the first time the turtles have traveled to dinosaur times. When they return to the present, Shredder has taken over the world similar to Same As It Never Was. While trapped in prehistoric times, Bebop and Rocksteady's outfits are altered to slightly resemble those of their original incarnations (most notably Bebop's turtle shell shoulder pads, and Rocksteady wearing a yellow vest.)

Anachronistic Animal: Not only are Stegosaurus, Brachiosaurus, and Compsognathus shown living in the Cretaceous rather than the Jurassic, but most of the Cretaceous animals in the special didn't actually live 100 million years ago.

Alternate Continuity
 Half-Shell Heroes: Blast to the Past / int_450c5a85
comment
Alternate Continuity: The special has enough inconsistencies in continuity that it is clearly not canon to the main series. Chief among them is that the special premiered at a point in the main series where the Triceratons destroyed the Earth and the Turtles went with Professor Honeycutt in space, time-traveling six months prior to Earth's destruction to try and prevent it by gathering the pieces of the Black Hole Generator before the Triceratons can use it.

The Cuckoolander Was Right: When the Turtles and their tamed Stegosaurus, Triceratops, and Pteranodon get cornered into a cave by a Tyrannosaurus, Mikey suggests to Donnie (who hasn't gotten his own prehistoric companion yet) that he tame it with a slice of pizza with pepperoni, maple syrup, and peppermint. Despite Raph naturally calling him an idiot for it, his plan actually works.

Terrifying Tyrannosaur: The Turtles get chased by a Tyrannosaurus that scares off a pack of raptors surrounding them, and then they get menaced by a second, much bigger Tyrannosaurus. The first T. rex, however, ends up being tamed by Donnie who feeds it a pizza slice under Mikey's suggestion.

Taught by Television: Defied. When the turtles get confronted by a T. rex, Leonardo attempts to use Jurassic Park logic on it. Donatello corrects him that real tyrannosaurs have excellent eyesight better than that of eagles or hawks, and sure enough the T. rex has no trouble seeing them.
