What is the deal with the kraang ?

Splinter the boss · 07-09-2015, 06:21 PM

I was rewatching buried secrets this week, and I realized something. First, it is well known that the kraang has been on the Earth for a long time, trying to perfect the mutagen as stated by Mr. Kurtzman. Second, during the invasion, Kraang prime mentioned that the Kraang has transformed monkeys into humans with the mutagen millions of years ago, which emphasized the point that the kraang has been around for millions of years. The questions now are: why did Mom thing say that April's grandfather has awakened the kraang ? Because if it was him awakening the kraang, it would make more sense that they are around for centuries. Why was the Kraang in a deep sleep anyway ? Who put them there ? aren't they supposed to live in dimension x ? Was it some kind of mission involving lower-ranked kraang ?

Kurtzman I have my doubts on actually being human. (Fingers crossed on him being the Fugitoid)

But what I see is that the Kraang arrived on Earth and started experimenting on early simian species thus creating human evolution from Homo gautengensis-Neanderthal-CroMagnon to roughly man as we know it.

The Kraang have thus spend the past thousands of millions of years, (humans (Homo sapien sapian) as they are today have roughly existed for about two million years.) evolving the world with their mutagen and shaping it into what we know the world to be like today. All in attempts to cultivate and procure a single strand of DNA that could stabilize the mutagen.

One stealth ship crash lands in the area where the O'Neil where the O'Neil farm house it built. It is eventually found by April's great grandfather on her mother side. The Kraang experiment on him and find he as the markings of the genes they are looking for and continue to experiment on possibly his immediate family (wife, siblings), his children (April's grand parents), and his grandchildren (April's mother) cultivating April's birth.

Speculation on this is that group of Kraang probably felt the one they were looking for would appear in a future age, so they deliberately landed and put themselves in stasis so that they could wake up in the proper time for the chosen one to appear.

I don'think Kurtzman is the fugitoid because the fugitoid has a robotic body while kurtzman is normal, and he is not a scientist.

Now to get back to topic, I know what the kraang has been doing for the past millions years. But what does not make sense is that Mom-thing said that April's grandfather awakened the kraang as if it was all the kraang in general. I think she meant that was all the kraang for that time period and awakening them caused them to start experimenting on them. What about Kraang prime ? Where was he ?

And the idea that the kraang put themselves to stasis does not sound to bright. Why would they do that ? I thought The kraang was smarter than that. And also why would they expect to get the perfect DNA strands in the future when they stopped experimenting.

This whole thing doesn't make sense.

Man, nobody else is responding. I thought that was an interesting thread

*Metalwolf* · 07-12-2015, 01:46 PM

It is. The whole Kraang thing doesn't make sense to me either. It is highly possible that Kraang Prime was lying about 'creating' the human race, (to break human resistance and morale during the invasion) because if you are looking for a certain DNA strand, why not just create one from scratch with all of that advanced technology? People have been splicing and dicing genes and genomes and other impressive things ever since DNA has been discovered, and it's only been a scarce 50 years or so. But yet somehow we're doing stuff in decades (heck Donnie's doing it in a fraction of the time!) that take the Kraang supposedly millions of years.

My guess is that the Kraang actually first encountered humans (and this is slightly upgraded from an older theory I posted on here way back) sometime in the early Egyptian times, and likely only sort of had a semi-interest in Earth's dimension as it still was mostly uninhabitable for the time being, plus it had another technologically advanced (and hostile) species in it that would not tolerate their presence (Triceratons.) Otherwise nothing makes sense. They could have taken over way earlier, they never should have needed to 'hide' from people given that they are technologically superior and could quash an uprising, and with all that technology, it's taking them millions of years (genetic engineering) what a far lower species learned and did in a fraction of the time?

I have to say I really like that theory of yours. It sounds interesting and I like how it involves the triceratons. It makes sense, and now that every species has evolved, the triceratons do not exist anymore. Now the only problem is if the Kraang has been around for some time, then why did Mom-Thing make mention of awakening the kraang ? Weren't they active already ?

Well, the Triceratons are confirmed to be coming ( late season 3, about Sept. 20th is when their debut episode airs) and it was stated somewhere that they really dislike the Kraang. As far as Mom-thing, well she was in stasis for some years. It's possible that she doesn't yet know about the invasion (invasion='awakening' to her) or it could be something else that we haven't seen yet. The Kraang aren't gone (since a clip shows them in some degree) and it might be something will happen when they try to get April one more time, and take over Earth in a last ditch effort.

I guess you might be right about Mom-thing, and I thank you for letting me know about the triceratons making their debut. I cannot wait to see what they look like in this show.

*Metalwolf* · 07-13-2015, 11:18 AM

There is a clip of one with Raph in the Season 3 info thread,and maybe in the SDCC 2015 thread as well. It should be somewhere in the posts dated July 10th and later.

Thank you. I am going to give it a look.
