You have the description wrong for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Transdimensional Adventures (Redux Edition). That's the description for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness (Redux Edition), which is a separate book.

There have been two. The first came out 27 years ago and only got one supplement, Mecatal Rex. Twilight Imperium

The newest version now has two supplements. Embers of the Imperium
Worth noting that Embers of the Emperium is mostly a setting book with character options, but requires the Genesis RPG book to be played (unlike the Star Wars games).

The older RPG was its own stand-alone game. I never read it but only heard bad things about it.
 


It's worth noting that the Mothership Wardens Manual is regularly praised as one of the best GM books of all time, and has advice that's applicable to all games, including how to set up and run a campaign.
Easily the best referee book I’ve read in years. Worth every penny and definitely useful beyond running sci-fi and horror.
