A version of XLR8 in a turtle form could have the following characteristics: he would maintain his humanoid structure, but with a more robust body and a thick shell on his back to protect him from attacks. His skin would still be blue, but with greenish or brownish details, resembling a turtle's appearance. The black stripes could be kept, now outlining the shell and legs, but with a rounder and reinforced design to provide stability. Instead of high-speed boots, he could have stronger limbs, adapted for slower movements, but much more resilient. His "arms" and "legs" would be more curved and thick, resembling the legs of a turtle. His mask would keep the eyes visible, perhaps with a more "insect-like" shape to ensure peripheral vision while hiding inside his shell. Despite the change in form, he would still maintain his special abilities, but now more focused on resistance and defense, rather than speed.
