Krang's Body
 
Whatever happened to Krang's android body? For a short time after the "red sky" episodes began, he had it (once Mike even took it over with a video game), and then all of a sudden it disappeared. Can anybody solve this?

Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan 08-28-2003 09:26 AM

In the very last episode of the old cartoon, "Divide and "Conquer", the Turtles used Krang's android body to defeat Dregg.

Donatello and Michaelangelo traveled to Dimension X, retrieved it, jumped through the Technodrome's portal, and used it to battle a giant Dregg.

Remember way back at the beginning the series when we saw Krang's android body grow bigger and then shrink back to normal size again? The Turtles used that concept here; they grew Krang's android body to fight Dregg, wrapped him up in a move Splinter called the Flying Claw, shrunk back down to normal size, opened up another portal, and then shoved both the android body and Dregg through it. For some reason, the writers came up with the idea that, once Krang's android body shrinks back to normal size, it will explode. With it wrapped around Dregg, the audience concludes that Dregg was destroyed, too.

Hope this helps!

"We've got one minute before this thing shrinks down to the size of a ping-pong ball and explodes!"
"Bummer!"

Donatello and Michaelangelo, from "Divide and Conquer"

If I remember correctly, there was another episode where Krang's androind body got larger... Can't remember the season or episode name.

He never had it in the red sky eps himself. As NTCF said, the only time it appeared in said episodes was in the series finale (not even remotely worthy to be called that IMO). In season 8 all he has was his bubble walker.

Which reminds me of another gigantic blooper that was made: at the end of season 7 (Shredder Triumphant!), as the Technodrome is being sucked into Dimension X once again but this time WITHOUT Shredder and Company in it (Shredder, Krang, Rocksteady and Bebop are stranded on Earth), Krang is seen with his body while his bubble walker was left on the Technodrome.

Come the first episode of season 8 (Get Shredder!), we see Krang the opposite way around: he's in his bubble walker while is body is left on the Technodrome in Dimension X. I don't know HOW someone could've overlooked that fact...

Well the series didn't have that good continuity in the first place. Also, at the end of season 8 the Techndrome falls into that pit of some sort, while in season 10 it's in toatally diffrent place. And yeah, season finale doesn't really seem much after 10 seasons.

Deathknight 08-28-2003 02:43 PM

Personally, I thought Turtle Trek would've made a better final episode for the series. Divide and Conquer was a very poorly done episode for a series finale. BTW, Krang's body is damaged several times.. it blows up in Krangenstein Lives! and it goes to pieces in the beginning of Pirate Radio but Krang repairs it, I know there's more times but I can't recall what episodes.

Karpo_007 08-28-2003 02:50 PM

Well I guess they didn't know they were making a series finale when they finished season 10.

There's a huge difference between not having continuity and making a huge blooper such as that. The ironic thing is that this episode DID have some continuity from the previous season:

Raph: Leonardo, explain to me again why we're creeping in the dead of night instead of home in out nice, damp lair?
Mike: Yeah, dude! We just blasted the Technodrome into Dimension X!
Leo: The Technodrome may be gone, but Shredder and Krang are still loose!

From that bit of information, you'd expect Krang to have his body and not the bubble walker if you'd seen the 7th season finale beforehand. knaw'mean?

Karpo_007 08-29-2003 02:44 PM

Well yeah, but it didn't ever really bother me. Maybe they tought it wouldn't fit the new feel they were going for or something. Who knows.

Tetsu Deinonychus 08-29-2003 04:50 PM

I noticed that too. But, I didn't mind because I liked bubble walker better. Android body didn't look very serious, compared to it.

Deathknight 08-29-2003 09:36 PM

I think the idea of Krang only having his bubble walker was that Krang would've been able to fight which was rare on the show and it would've made Shredder and Company harder to catch therefore making the script more difficult to write.

Who is Dregg?

Karpo_007 08-30-2003 06:55 AM

Main enemy of the TMNT on season 9 and 10.

That Matt Guy 08-30-2003 08:00 AM

Got a picture of him?

GK Punk 08-30-2003 08:10 AM

I'd like to see a pic too, I can't remember what he looks like.

Karpo_007 08-30-2003 08:43 AM

Im sure someone has a pic... If not I'l cap a picture from one of the episodes.

Pardon me, but wouldn't Krang WITH his body make Shredder and Co. harder to defeat, knowing how many things Krang's body was capable of doing?

Of course, what you REALLY want to see is Nickokapo's picture of "Dragg". He'd make a good Carmen Miranda in that pic ;)

Dragg wasn't a behind-the-scenes pic??

Dregg out-of-character, maybe?
