About the Kraang Species

Ceres · 06-07-2015, 07:13 AM

I wondered about one thing lately. Its the following, i recently re-watched the scenes with KSP and other Kraang in it. Its weird that Kraang Subprime looks very different from his other peers(and i don't mean the cyborg gadgets), he very much resembles Kraang Prime complete with these little tentacles on his mouth who make these creepy movements when he talks. The others don't have such things at all. So is it possible that under the Kraang are other species or better said variations of Kraang? I mean only Kraang Prime and Subprime look like that while the others dont`?

It could be just overthinking things but it was strange to me seeing as they look basically all the same with the expection of KSP and Prime. Or its like in these bee hives with different classes like Queen and workers and drones and stuff.

I not really found a thread about the Kraang in this section so i just started this here. What are your thoughts about that?

I'd say it's like bees, for sure. There's definitely a hive-mind thing going on, they've got their queen, etc. I don't know if we'll see any other variations like KSP in the future but I think it's safe to say that more must exist somewhere in their world.

For the record Kraang Prime is male (confirmed by Ciro himself), and is intended to be the original Krang. Hence the Android body with the antenna, living in the Technodrome, being the leader from Dimension X, and having strong warrior body guards.

Where was this confirmed? Kraang gender has never been addressed in series or otherwise as far as I know.

As far i know Kraang are genderless, at least i think so. But in my country for example Kraang Prime is female so either it was a mistranslation dunno. Prime was based on Original Krang but is a very own version for the Nick Cartoon that means you can't mix them up. KPrime is a figure on her/his own and has nothing to do with the old school Krang.

Besides that was not even the point i wanted to make in my thread here, i wondered about the differences about KSP and the other Kraang, that was all.

Agree with the bee comparison with most of them seeming like drones. I mean, even if they're gender neutral, you have Prime and Subprime possibly fitting into a pairing similar to insects where Subprime is quite smaller.

Curious if possibly good Kraang might on day turn up, and suddenly show that the Kraang we've known so far are just an evil rogue group; either going after Earth all on their own or overthrowing the good ones and plans that were originally innocent.

When the Season 1 finale was airing there was a video interview posted with two kids and Ciro referred to Kraang Prime as, "he" and "him."
