Origins
I think this guy might be partially based on the Prehistoric Proganochelys Turtle with the spiked tail, Mata Mata have normal testudine tails. The shell could be based on an Alligator Snapping Turtle's shell, which has spikes BlazingLitten22 (talk) 17:03, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
The head also looks kinda like that of a Kappa.--Pokencyclopedia (talk) 11:46, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
terminator
could the name also come from terminator?Yamitora1 (talk) 17:28, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- A lot of words end in "nator" that MIGHT fit. "detonator" fits best, IMO, related to its function ("Blast Turtle") and to its Japanese name, which has the word "baku", from "bakuhatsu" for explosion. Starscream (talk) 23:56, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
Russian name
Could someone in the staff please add this line?

Origin
Like, OK, I recognize that one of the reasons these pages are locked is so that people don't go on about origins and such before we know anything about the Pokemon. But this is pretty clearly inspired by a kappa?
It has the beak, the shell, and the head. The makamaka turtle lacks a bird like beak like the one Turtonator possesses, and it's head does not resemble that of a turtle.
I don't know, the only reason why we say it seems to be based on the mata mata is because mata mata are native to Hawaii. Yet zebra can't be found in America at all. And pandas can't be found in France, either. Not saying that we cannot say that it "may be based on the mata mata turtle", but we should definitely say "visually it resembles a kappa".
