2012 explanation is Kraang Sub-Prime banished him for messing things up.

If you were 80's Krang you'd make up a story (I'm a space gangster) to cover you being a total screw up.

That's how I make it work.
That's exactly what I'm thinking. Krang is full of hot air...he probably was only able to take control of the less competent parts of Dimension X because it was all he could manage.

I do like how this is the first instance of two Utroms sharing a similar name, sort of like how there can be someone named Steven and another person named Stephen. The trouble comes up when Utroms don't appear to have family names in any of their universes. So how do they keep track of family members? The telekinetic abilities of the Queen-led Utroms would make sense, especially now that there's some evidence for family groups among them. If Krang and Knight are cousins, then they have parents who were siblings. Obviously. So the question becomes, where does Krang fit into the Kraang's universal conquest? Especially with Utroms being peaceful and SubPrime having formerly been Knight?
