Reader's Guide
The Triceraton Empire is a major antagonist in the series, appearing in Season 3 and Season 4. In Season 3, the Turtles discover that the Kraang have another enemy from Dimension X in the form of the Triceraton empire. Despite the best efforts of the Turtles and Shredder violating the Foot Clan's temporary truce with the Turtles by stabbing Splinter during the fight, the ruthless Triceratons activate the Heart of Darkness, a black hole-creating machine which annihilates the Kraang, Earth, and everyone on it. The Turtles, April, and Casey are rescued by the Fugitoid, an alien robot, and taken onto his spacecraft. In Season 4, the Fugitoid uses his spacecraft the Ulixes to travel six months back in time in order for him and the Turtles to prevent the Triceraton Empire led by Emperor Zanmoran from again assembling the three components of the Heart of Darkness that are scattered throughout the universe before everything on Earth is lost. Despite the efforts of the Turtles, the Triceratons are still able to collect all three pieces of the Black Hole Generator, only for the Turtles to return to Earth and join forces with their past selves to warn Splinter before he is killed by the Shredder, stop the detonator of the Heart of Darkness, and defeat the Triceratons. The Fugitoid destroys the Black Hole Generator near the Triceraton spacefleet, causing to explode, presumably killing the Triceratons.
