Two characters[edit]

I don't really agree with this. Shouldn't these be two articles instead of one.

These are two characters afterall...

They used to be two articles. But since the two characters have the same backstory, the same personality, they always appeared together and the differences between them were minimal, they ended up being two almost identical articles. So they got merged into one. -- Ritchy 21:39, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I agree then. --Bragador

Imagery[edit]

Does anybody have a couple of images of Bebop and Rocksteady armed with various firearms and laser weapons from the 1987 cartoon series? It would be great to see a couple of pictures of Bebop and Rocksteady armed to the teeth with various guns in the "Weapons of Choice for Bebop and Rocksteady" section of this page to show the kind of weapons Bepop and Rocksteady used against the Turtles. If anybody got some images then it would be great to see them.

Also, if anybody has a couple of pictures of the Bebop and Rocksteady action figutred from the 1987 TMNT action figure line, please post them up. Thank you.

I'm not sure about it. We already have a picture of each of the characters. We should be careful not to overload the page with pictures. --Ritchy 03:48, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nitpick[edit]

I've never heard them being refered to as "Bebop and Rocksteady" in the show and commercials, only "Rocksteady and Bebop". SilentRage 01:26, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A Google search in the www.ninjaturtles.com website finds 62 hits for "Bebop and Rocksteady" against 60 hits for "Rocksteady and Bebop" :P -- Ritchy 02:10, 1 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Similar amount of results - not enough evidence. I also have never heard them called "Bebop and Rocksteady" - only "Rocksteady and Bebop". Plus, you only used one website as research. Mr.bonus 17:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's more evidence then what you provide; what you remember hearing is not an admissible argument. And it's not just any one website, it's the official TMNT website. This lends it more credence than some random fan website, or worse, some random fan's childhood recollections. -- Ritchy 19:16, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard them referred to as anything other than "Bebop and Rocksteady", however, I don't think the semantics matter. There is not enough meaning in the order to warrant a change in the article title. -- Scorpion 1169 19:00, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, TMNT was one of my favorite cartoons, and I too swore that I always remembered hearing it as "Rocksteady and Bepop" - the thing is, the last time I saw a an episode of TMNT was probably over ten years ago and things we heard on TV as kids don't always stay so fresh in our memories. It seems that my memory was wrong.

Here are plenty of clips from the 1987 series to end this argument once and for all. It is always "Bebop and Rocksteady"

Continuity error[edit]

In an early episode of TMNT {1987} Beebop and Rocksteady gang are also transformed into mutants-and that Shredder had a anti-mutant ray gun which could reverse mutant changes. However after one epsiode showing the gang mutating and another of Shredder temporaly changing the gang back into human form, these characthers are never seen again. Also Shredder never uses the anti-mutant ray gun on either the Turtles or Splinter. In another epsiode there is one classic scene Krang discovers a diaster and remarks that this could only have been caused by idiots--and then shouts Bebop and Rocksteady's names!

Is this really that big of a surprise? The series occasionally makes it look like Rocksteady and Bepop used to be animals before they mutated, despite their actual backstory pointing to the contrary. Takeshi357 (talk) 12:42, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Name in 2016 movie[edit]

During the scene where Bebop and Rocksteady are being transported with Shredder in the prison vehicle, at one point we see Rocksteady's booking sheet and you can clearly read the Ivan Steranko name from the 2013 cartoon. The line about him being Finnish seemed more like a joke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.251.227.20 (talk) 14:58, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
