Official Info on the Nick TMNT Series

Krang as an individual character was not mentioned at all. They have taken the original TCRI aliens from the Mirage comics (robot exoskeletons piloted by brain aliens in the stomach) and, in a nod to the original cartoon series, named the race Kraang (I think it had a double a in the middle). I also remember someone saying during the presentation that the alien brains won't talk outside of their robot exoskeletons. I certainly don't recall the pictures of the brains having mouths - just 4(?) long-ish tentacles.

During the fight sequence in the second lot of the footage shown, there was one comedy bit where Michelangelo has a Kraang alien brain stuck on his head and is trying to prize it off.

Whether the Kraang are good, bad or somewhere in-between remains to be seen I think.

Baxter Stockman may not be mutating; he was simply mentioned at the same time as Leatherhaed and mutagen, in part of a general conversation about returning characters and themes. We'll have to wait and see. Rich (the guy from Nickelodeon) was very coy with a lot of his answers - he didn't want to give too much away!
