Is Krang a Utrom?

Mutated Turtle · 05-21-2010, 04:04 AM

Krang and a Utrom look alike,but is Krang an Utrom???

*Candy Kappa* · 05-21-2010, 04:15 AM

No.
his looks are only based off the Utrom species.

Krang is a Dimension X warlord, that got exiled from his own world and his body. One of the OT episodes Krang Clones himself, the clones grows back their bodies, you can see how Krang looked like before he became a brain with a face.

While the Utroms are naturally squid looking

besides there huge differences between a Utrom and Krang, when you look at them, like different numbers of tentacles and body type.

I a picture of Krang before he looked like a squid, he looked kind of lizardy to me.

*Candy Kappa* · 05-21-2010, 06:53 AM

one of the Clones of Krang, so basically he'd look similar to this

Maybe, maybe not. I think it's not mentioned. It's the same like if the street punk gang in "Turtle Tracks" of the 1987 TMNT cartoon is the Purple Dragon Gang. The name is not mentioned, but it is at least based on the Purple Dragon Gang.

*sdp* · 05-21-2010, 10:59 AM

Is it stated they grew back their bodies and they weren't just maybe enhancements?

There is also the other OT episode that shows Krang with others like him.

it's very clear that Krang is not a Utrom. "Invasion of the Krangezoids" clearly shows that Krang had a body, not to mention Peter's sketch for a real body Krang figure. Krang have never been called a Utrom, he's from a different dimension while the Utroms are from a different planet.

The episode having flashback where Krang are among his kind and they are brain like creatures in bubble-walkers like him, have been contradicted by the show many times. Krang have said several times that he had a body before he got exiled out off Dimension X.

There is also an Utrom named Krang, but they're not the same character of course. Just done as a joke I'm sure. In the 2k3 series when the Utroms are all escaping into the transmat one of the Utroms complains about having to walk on their tenticles and another Utrom says "Oh shut up, Krang!"...or something like that. Details escape me at the moment. *shrugs*

Krang thought they were going to stay disembodied brains. He even built them all bubble walkers. And, Donatello suggested that the bodies were part of their DNA and they were just regrowing them the way a lizard regrows a tail. Still, since David Wise wrote this one himself, it's pretty safe to say that it was meant to be Krang's original form.

I'm a little fuzzy on the details of that flashback, but I think it's best to think of that as being his scientists AFTER they got their matching haircuts. It's less irritating than thinking it was just the work of some clueless hack who doesn't pay attention to detail.

what?

I was thinking that maybe they also got their bodies taken away like Krang did, that would explain it. Is that what you meant with the haircut thing?

Anyways it wouldn't be some clueless hack since that flashback happened before they ever showed his body so that would have meant it was later retconned.

Then again, the show's internal continuity was hardly iron clad...

*Panda_Kahn_fan* · 05-31-2010, 12:50 PM

Krang definitely wasn't an Utrom in the old cartoon, but making him an Utrom Outlaw in the new toon would be an excellent idea.

Personally, I never understood why the 2002 series didn't just make Krang the Utrom Outlaw who supplied the Oroku family line (human leaders of the foot clan) with the tech that allowed them to dominate over the generations, instead of making Saki actually be the Outlaw in the form of C'hrell. Would've solved many people's complaints about Shredder no being human. But that's just my opinion.

Your Kahn decrees it!

*Coola Yagami* · 05-31-2010, 06:30 PM

Cause they wanted to stay as far away as the old cartoon as possible...?

*sdp* · 05-21-2010, 10:08 AM

Who knows but I do know that is one line to piss off Krang.

Wait a second....I see what you did there, you found a way to sneak another "line to piss off.." thread, clever.

Well other lines would include, "Hey krang why is your robot body naked?, wait why are YOU naked?"

*gobo* · 05-21-2010, 03:37 PM

I think it wasn't that long ago that I named the ep for someone else, but which ep was it that had the moustachioed 'Krangezoid' brain? I'm almost certain it was a season 3 ep.

It's from the episode "Four Musketurtles".

Thanks, hude (pun on the word, "dude")! Watching the ep again, I have to say: I thought there was a bit more backstory to that flashback. All that was said was that it was their first tests with dimensional travel that they decided to send Dimension X's rarest element to Earth. Of all the genius plotlines... -_-

Mutated Turtle · 05-21-2010, 04:18 PM

So, Krang had a body,but then he was nothing more than a disembodied brain?
