EVIDENCE OF KRANG'S ANDROID NECK TURNING

Unarguably, in this image, Krang's neck is turning his head to the left to look at Shredder while his body remains straight ahead

You should ask the animators of the FW cartoon that question. I wouldn’t know. The area conjoining the head to the body of Krang’s Android Body should look like its arms if it had a head that could turn. There should be some clear indication like with the original late 1991 Krang’s Android Body that the head turns when there isn’t any in either version of the FW cartoon.
Face articulated to the left in the second photo. The other pictures were great examples of the fat in the face making it look as if his head could turn, but rare occurrences in both the syndicated and Saturday morning versions of the cartoon. The rules were bent a lot in those days because there were deadlines and computers were much different then than they are today. I’m not even going to ask how Krang could pull the Android Body from off of the floor of the Technodrome. This is a cartoon we are talking about. Like I said earlier, rules are bent sometimes.
