* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: 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 [[TastesLikeFriendship 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.

''Half-Shell Heroes: Blast to the Past'' is a television special from the ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' franchise loosely connected to the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 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 Creator/{{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.
----
* AlternateContinuity: 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''.
* AnachronismStew: Not only are ''Stegosaurus'', ''Brachiosaurus'', and ''Compsognathus'' shown living in the Cretaceous, but many of the other dinosaurs didn't live 100 million years ago.
* AndroclesLion: Raph befriends the ''Pteranodon'' by treating its injured wing.
* ArtShift: Is done in a much lighter, more cartoon-y style than the main series.
* ComedicUnderwearExposure: The Triceratons at one point end up in their underwear. This includes the female general Zera.
* TheComicallySerious: Tiger Claw knows that humans and dinosaurs didn't exist together, unlike Bebop and Rocksteady.
* DenserAndWackier[=/=]LighterAndSofter: The humor is much more overt, and the special is overall lighthearted.
* DomesticatedDinosaurs: The turtles befriend and tame dinosaurs ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and one pterosaur]]) to fight the Triceratons.
* EnemyMine: Bebop and Rocksteady offer to work together with the turtles against the Triceratons. Leo tries to invoke a HeelFaceTurn.
* MythologyGag:
** 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.)
* OutOfFocus[=/=]WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Tiger Claw's only scene in this special is during the museum robbery.
* PteroSoarer: The ''Pteranodon'' are portrayed with serrated bills similar to ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest''. On the other hand, they are quadrupedal.
* RaptorAttack: The raptors are, as usual, ''Film/JurassicPark''-styled. Be it they're organic or mechanical.
* SequelHook: When the characters return to the present, they overshoot their destination and discover that Shredder has taken over the world. Whether or not a sequel will be made remains to be seen.
* SuperDeformed: Everybody in the episode except for the dinos is portrayed in a chibi style.
