What do you think IDW's Krang will turn out to be? - Page 2

[QUOTE=Andrew NDB;883976]The concept of the robotic suit wasn't an old cartoon thing, but a Mirage comics thing, the bodies the Utroms ride around in the abdominal cavities of.

I was actually referring to the "old toon robot concept" Not the idea of the Utroms using humanoid robot's to get around, in general. I just like the way Krang's looked in the old cartoon. My grammar probably confused you. I'm not the best when it comes to punctuation and such.

"As long as things don't venture head-first into camp or silliness for the sake of silliness then I'm OK with "ridiculous enemies." Visually, at least. The Turtles need credible threats, not a revolving rogues gallery of Fred Wolf buffoolery."

Agreed. Maybe I should have been more clear. There is definitely a difference Saturday morning cartoon ridiculous and badass, threatening, tmnt ridiculous. (Think Grant Morrison ;])

So no Krang in #3 either, I assume he won't be in #4 as well.

We know from the summary he will re-appear in #5 where he's "impatient" with Baxter, but I wonder if we'll see any more of him than an arm this time.

This occurred to me, but I think he will be some sort of hybrid between Mirage Baxter/2K3 Baxter and Ch'rell.

Let's hope Leatherhead doesn't get hungry for brains:

Poor Krang.

*gobo* · 11-29-2011, 07:19 PM

I'm 100% positive that General Krang is a disgruntled Zach Moss, the fifth turtle.

I really should get around to reading any of my comics.

*CyberCubed* · 12-01-2011, 09:49 PM

I'd prefer if Krang wasn't an Utrom, but some sort of relative to the same species. Perhaps maybe Krang's species and the Utroms could be at war?

Krang has much longer tentacles than Utroms do, and he always looked different enough from a regular Utrom in every incarnation.

twopinacoladas · 12-02-2011, 09:28 PM

I am thinking perhaps an Utrom, but we don't find out until later and he just looks human because of an exo skeleton and skin. Then maybe it turns out he is evil or something just a guess

A vision of Krang's end from my childhood:

*Donnie* · 12-02-2011, 09:34 PM

Hahaha! I kinda like Andrew's ending.

*CyberCubed* · 12-02-2011, 09:36 PM

Ptttf, we all know the real Krang would see betrayal coming a mile away. Krang and Shredder were constantly at odds in the show, and even tried betraying each other a few times...

In fact in the Archie series Shredder says, "Krang?! I always felt like we were stronger together rather than apart."

Shockdingo · 12-04-2011, 02:24 AM

Hmm, I'm thinking with the desparation, he's a human who's been horrendously disfigured/and or crippled and is wanting to start a fresh.

If you look at the two components; the psychotropic drug and mutagen I think he's trying to transfer into a stronger super soldier body. It seems like Splinter is getting memories that aren't his own, so that led me to thinking it's a path of memory transfer for ol' Krang.

Hermano Dyvas · 12-11-2011, 10:32 AM

I think it would be cool if he was a deformed rogue utrom. That way he can be an utrom and look like his old tentacled self at the same time. I'd be disappointed if he turned out to be human.

JonesyKitty · 01-04-2012, 10:02 PM

id be disapointed if they just made him a human with the same name. itd be too much like Chrell. I really liked the 2k3 Shredder but when they revealed he was just an utrom it kinda bummed me out. not that i didnt like him or anything but it was just different than i pictured it to be. im hoping that the body theyve shown so far turns out to be a disguise and later reveals that hes a brain or utrom. on another note does anyone think the thugs from Raphael #1 that look like Bebop and Rocksteady will turn out to be them or just a cameo reference?

I think right now they are playing it by ear with no set plan on when or whether to turn them into the mutants we know and (some) love. They put them into the Raph story probably because they thought it was a good fit for an issue that required two thugs and won't bring them back unless the story calls for them again, somehow. However, I think it's only a matter of time when they get curious and decide they want to go for the full on Rocksteady & Bebop action, but who knows when that will be.

We don't know if the mutagen can effect human like it does in the original cartoon. If we learn that it does not just turn animals into humaniod form but humans into animal-like form then yes. It all depends on the mutagen. Some of us would like it to happen,but at this point it was just another nod to their characters.

JonesyKitty · 01-05-2012, 09:45 AM

that makes sense. im thinking its just a cameo but i think it would be kinda cool if they did put them in for an issue or two just to see how theyd design em.

That mutating is even on the table for Bebop and Rocksteady "when the Master wishes it" directly implies that the mutagen can work in reverse (humans into animal mutants, not just animals into mutants). It's not a question of "if."

On the plus side, though, I'm pretty sure it won't be working as retardedly as in the Fred Wolf camp... i.e., it won't be just touching a flea and then some mutagen and morphing into FleaMan, but rather something more complex and believable.
