General Tragg and The Inspiration of the Rock Soldiers

My father is a fan of Perry Mason and I recently learned a reoccurring character in the television show and book series is a police officer named Lieutenant Tragg. In IDW since Krang has the title of general it dropped him down to lieutenant like the Perry Mason character. It would seem no confidence that General Tragg's name came from the series as I have never heard it elsewhere and it comes from the same period of sci-fi B films that inspire some plots and episode titles of the 1987 cartoon. While it is likely is ever confirmed this is where Tragg's name came from? Also, I was wondering if there was a sci-fi film or any particular reference of where the rock soldiers were inspired from.
