I at least recall there was at least some jokes about it.

I guess because he needed someone to go out and do the dirty work. I mean, Krang hardly ever did anything himself. He sent Bebop and Rocksteady... and Shredder was kinda there to supervise...?

He's Krang! Nuff Said.

Krang was just awesome. Plus, it helps that he didn't get a decent toy until way into the line.

Krang was awesome...that seems to be a recurring answer, and it is something sorta' hard to quantify, but he really is a pretty great character. First off, he just has a REALLY distinct look. All great villains are instantly recognizable, and a mildly anthropomorphic pink brain? That sticks out a bit. Second, he's a great inversion and/or exaggeration of traditional villain archetypes. You've got your soldier villains (Shredder) who are physically dangerous, then you've got your brain villains who are dangerous in terms of manipulation and plotting. Krang distills that archetype completely. He's a literal brain!

But I loved seing Krang fighting the TMNT, like in the Big Trilogy.
