I agree that Krang's voice was perfect. It wasn't too comical but wasn't too threatening either. Plus depending on his tone, he could set the mood of the occasion quite well.

Now I come to think of it, there was some episodes where Krang and Shredder planned to steal gold.. what a degrading plot for world's conquerors.

*That Matt Guy* · 02-21-2004, 09:22 AM

Aw come on, everyone that tries to take over the world wants gold.

THE-X-FLO · 02-21-2004, 10:30 AM

But why would they need money? They have enough technology.
I agree that since Shredder is a human, he's governed by feelings that can make him addicted to richness.

But Krang has nothing to do with this world. He wants to show his strenght by conquering, not by being the richest alien in the galaxy..

*That Matt Guy* · 02-21-2004, 02:18 PM

Maybe he just likes the color.

I thought that Shredder's humanity was most evident in his burning desire to finish the Turtles and Splinter with his own hand. Because of this, he held off on building Krang's android body for so long. Also, in "The Big Blow Out" he wanted to finish the Turtles and Splinter with one of the Technodrome's cannons and ended up falling right into the Turtles' trap.

Since this thread was supposed to be about Krang's hair-brained schemes...what the hell was the deal with trying to airlift the Channel 6 building to Dimension X???

Maybe he likes fine architecture.

Or fine news reporters.

I think you're referring to Plan 6 from Outer Space

I don't remember why he wanted the Channel 6 building.. Maybe because of the satellite dish on the roof? Anyway, that was a weird plan

MW8979 · 02-21-2004, 04:56 PM

Don't forget that Krang is a composite of many encyclopedias, so he would probably find a good use for gold, other then redecorating the Technodrome and installing golden toilets. Plus, if Kerma and his race could use it for energy, I'm sure it would work for someone from Dimension X.

You're right, in Venice on the Half Shell, I understood that Krang wanted huge quantity of gold to improve the Foot Soldiers
But if you take Nights of the Rogues, Krang dug a hidden treasure which had no use but being rich (except for paying the rogues, but it was not Krang's idea)

They wanted the new channel 6 satelitte equipment as some means to power the technodrome or to warp it back to Earth, or something of the sort. I just remember they needed that equipment badly.

*Deathknight* · 02-21-2004, 11:05 PM

Well what makes me laugh is when they were stuck at the Earth's core is they never thought of using the heat from the Earth's core to produce energy. I would think after all the other stuff Krang invented he could've invented something to do that.

I never thought of that.
I guess they had to find an independant source of energy, since the Technodrome was low on power.

MW8979 · 02-22-2004, 06:44 AM

I think the writers probably came up with that at one point, but abandoned it. Because if you think about it, if Krang was to do that, he'd be unstoppable since there would be no turtles down there to interfere and he'd get as much energy as he wants. So the show would end pretty quickly after that happened, which is why they made Krang ignore that possibility altogether.

I think the idea of making the Turtles fight each other was brilliant, it is sometimes the best way to get rid of your arch nemesis.

It wasn't to get rid of the turtles, it was to keep them occupied so he could get the nuclear energy that he needed that would help them get the technodrome to the surface while they were distracted. I have seen the ep and have it on one of my vcr tapes.

Nosferatu · 05-26-2004, 11:44 AM

The first thing that came to mind was the attempt to make everyone cowards with a special ray. The episode with that was on that one Easter tape. I have it, but I can't think of the name right now (tired).

Well, if I remember correctly, they're trying to get the ray attached the satellite on top of the Channel 6 building so they can turn the entire world (or was it the city?) into cowards, but they run into the Turtles before they get the chance. But not before turning most of Channel 6 into cowards. Bebop and Rocksteady try to turn the Turtles into cowards but the ray doesn't work on mutants. This is where the plot goes bad, I think.

Why did they design a ray that turns all of the humans (who pose little threat to them) into cowards, but not the Turtles (who give them all the trouble)? It would be like being in a war against the U.S. and deciding to bomb Chile instead. Why would you focus your attack on someone other than your real opponent? Sure, making all the humans cowards would make it a little easier for them, but they'd still run into the roadblock that the Turtles and all their allies would present.

I don't know if the blame for that bad idea should go to Krang or Shredder, though. I don't remember who's idea it was.
