Why wasn't Krang an utrom?

With some of the recent comparisons between Krang an Ch'rell, it got me wondering: "why wasn't Krang originally conceived as an Utrom for the Fred Wolf cartoon?" Most of the time the answers for how the comic was adapted for the cartoon tend reason along the lines of "it was more kid-friendly" but in this case, it doesn't make sense. Krang was hardly less grotesque in appearance, and some might argue he was more so. And I can't imagine a disembodied brain being more suitable or even easier to understand than simply making him an alien. Sure utroms tended to be peaceful as opposed to Krang but it's not like they weren't already changing a bunch of the elements from the comic. Anyone have any ideas or insight to this?
