The History of Krang's Past

Okay, everyone. The poll on this website prompts me to ask this question, and I think it is a good one to discuss.

We all know that Krang was banished from Dimension X, and that he lost his body when that happened. We know he was some kind of lord or ruler in Dimension X. But the things we don't know about him are far more intriguing:

What caused Krang to be banished?

How is it that his body was taken away, but he was still left with a head?

How did he and Shredder cross paths?

Whose Technodrome is it, really? In the early episodes, we see the insignia of the Foot Clan painted on the Technodrome. Not only that, but Shredder says, "They must not find my Technodrome!" Yet, later on, one always gets the impression that the Technodrome was Krang's. He says in episodes like "Wrath of the Rat King" that while he was on Earth, he had stripped the Technodrome clean of all its weapons.

If the Technodrome really is Krang's, are we supposed to believe that he was banished without his body but supplied with a heavily-armored battle machine instead? Does that make sense?

There are loads of questions we could ask about Krang's past which, unfortunately, we'll probably never have any answers for. But I think this could be an interesting topic to discuss.

"Dimension X is a place of total war, is it not?"
"Yes! A battle that has been carried on without me . . ."
