Didn't April also put them on the news all the time, calling them turtles? ๐Ÿค” I think the humans just didn't care. Why would they? The turtles weren't the ones robbing stores and beating up random people or throwing the city into Dimension X every week. That was, in fact, a human and a giant sentient brain.

sentient brain

That's the usual state of brains, isn't it?

Er... Ok but do brains usually pilot a human shaped robo... Oh. Oh shit.

Presumably this means sapient, as in the thing humans have but other animals don't (the term sentient is often misused to mean sapient). In which case, no. Most brains are not sapient. Only humans are as far as we're aware currently, but definitely not ants and other insects that far outnumber us.
