Ep 16. The Pulverizer

The Pulverizer is the sixteenth episode of the first season of the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. In this episode, the turtles encounter a wannabe hero named Timothy who calls himself "The Pulverizer". This enthusiastic teenager idolizes the turtles and wishes to become their apprentice. Despite their initial reservations, the turtles eventually allow him to join them on a mission to stop the evil Foot Clan.

During their adventure, Timothy proves to be an utter liability, constantly putting himself and the turtles in danger. Despite the turtles' warnings, he insists on wearing their spare equipment and attempting dangerous maneuvers. This eventually leads to him getting captured by the Foot Clan, forcing the turtles to mount a rescue mission.

While attempting to save Timothy, the turtles discover that the Foot Clan has created a giant, robotic suit designed to take down the turtles once and for all. As they battle the Foot Clan, the Pulverizer ends up accidentally activating the suit and getting trapped inside. This leaves the turtles to face off against a hulking, mechanical monster without their new ally.

In the end, the turtles are able to defeat the Foot Clan and destroy the robotic suit. However, the experience serves as a cautionary tale for the turtles and Timothy both. The turtles learn to be more careful about who they allow to join them on missions, while Timothy learns that being a hero is not as easy or glamorous as he believed.

Overall, The Pulverizer is a lighthearted and action-packed episode of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. It highlights the importance of caution and teamwork, while also poking fun at superhero tropes. Fans of the series will appreciate the humor and action, while also enjoying the development of the turtles' relationships with new characters.
