Since he greatly admires Baxter Stockman, he is replaced as chief mechanic to divide the forensics, which is why Stockman tries many times to sabotage his experiments. Chalpin upgrades Stockman's Mouser robots, but they are bested by the Turtles and the collision with them and the alien technology nearly causes the destruction of Beijing.
