Is Krang an Utron?

[mbaker]

Since the Utrons kinda remind me of the Krang, would he be considered an Utron gone bad, or just an evil brain?

[turtleking]

he's like a utrom, but really he just an evil brain alien. the utroms and krang are different species.

[Karpo_007]

No. His looks were based on the Utroms' desing, but he is some sort of alien who lost his body.

[Krangfan]

Poor Krang :tsad: But if I remember right, Michaelangelo's reaction to Krang the first time was hilarious! :tsmile: :tlol:

[Bowser_Koopa]

i remember nobody would believe he saw a brain :lol:

[Ninjinister]

Krang is the disembodied brain of an evil warlord from Dimension X.

[FAH Q]

i never understood he was a disembodied brain,
but in subsequent episodes, detailing his exile the
fellow barin aliens that kicked him out were in walkers too,
where they disembodied brains as well?!?!!

Possibly. However, there was also an episode where Krang's clones "reverted" back to their original bodies.

Face it, for all the fun, the old show was not known for continuity. Or making much sense overall.

[J Legault]

Back when I learned that the original comics had brain like creature just like Krang but i learned that Krang wasn't an Utrom but a spinoff of the Utrom.

I only remenber that Krang would be the brains of the plans and technology for shredder.

I need to wait for the upcoming DVD to come and see more of Krang.

Is Krang an Utron?

No. He's not an Utrom either. :P

[Reznorite420]

Whatever happened to reading the FAQ?

[MW8979]

Krang is not an Utrom. He is part of another species (Krangezoids). If you watch "Four musketurtles" (I think), you'll see a glimpse of other Krangs. If Krang had only collaborated with his buddies, he would have won a long time ago.

[Coola Yagami]

what did the krangs look like when they got their bodies back in the cartoon?

[Jephael]

They looked like these lizard type creatures, which probably came as a surprise to most fans. I would've figured he looked something like Lord Zedd from Power Rangers. (yea I know, it was a dumb show!)

[The Green Ranger]

hey hey hey, lets not insult shows here ;)

Just going by what DTM and Peter say.

::in a Triumph the Insult Comic Dog voice:: I keed, I keed! I liked the show, it was good.

Is Krang an Utron?

No. He's not an Utrom either. :P

Give him a break! I made the same mistake too.

[the_minimizer]

As someone mentioned, the old cartoon isn't known for continuity. Remember that in Krang's exhile from Dimension-X to Earth, his body split in half. But in a later episode with the Four Muskaturtles, Krang talks about impervium and how he and his colleagues were working on it when it disappeared. An established story fact is totally disregarded as you see other krangs in bubble walkers. This contradicts two things: 1) Krang crying to Shredder about a new body and 2) Krang having a body prior to his exhile

If I were to give a brief technical overview of the old cartoon, I would say that improvision, spoofing and alteration defined it more than anything. Elements of the cartoon were changed to match whatever story was conceived. It had very little in terms of static elements.

But considering that A) It's a cartoon; B) It's audience was mostly children and C) the cartoon world allows for more flexible and dynamic changes to storylines including established facts, it's not a very reliable source for information.

This mornings episode waz pretty cool

This mornings episode waz pretty cool

That was kinda random.

[Michaelangelo|DAH]

Krang is a rip off of the Utroms

The Krang we saw in yesterday's episode was just an Utrom called Krang

but not the same Krang as in the old show

[Anarky]

another thing. Krang was sometimes able to move by himself ("Turtles on trial" and "krangazoids") sometimes he wasn't ("Get Shredder" and "beware of the lotus")... that's a fact.

BUT:

Are the Utroms able to move by themselves (like no android exosuits)?

[SlayerX]

Yes... they can jump at things, like when the Shredder Utrom jumped on Mike's (?) face. Also weren't they crawling around on the ground by themselves? I was 3/4 asleep while watching the latest episode, so I can't remember alot, other than a turtle had the Shredder Utrom on his face :P

[Michaelangelo|DAH]

they can walk on their tentacles

utrom #1: damn I hate walking on these tentacles (something like that)

utrom #2: shut up KRANG

[Drtooth]

The Utrom named Krang was obviously a homage (as was April disquising as a reporter) to the old series. in fact, the voice actor even does a near dead on "Krang" impersonation...

it may not be "Classic series" Krang, but it was a hillarious nod to the original series.
