Does anyone really know the name of Krang's android body from the 80's TMNT cartoon?

*DarkFell* · 08-07-2014, 03:31 AM

Nerd that I am, I looked through Turtlepedia for grins and giggles and read that Krang's android body (from the 80's-90's cartoon), was actually named Bangerang. I don't know if it was his / it's official name because it seem to never be called by a name in the cartoon.

Turtlepedia info URL is http://turtlepedia.wikia.com/wiki/Kr...7_TV_series%29

That's funny! I was wondering that too! And I forgot that was posted. Is it from the series? I started re-watching it from the beginning, and if it shows up on a screen somewhere, I'll post a picture. I'm on season 2 right now.

*DarkFell* · 08-07-2014, 05:20 AM

Good deal. Let me know what you find out. I've been skimming through the cartoon seasons on Youtube but no luck yet.

*neatoman* · 08-07-2014, 05:43 AM

Huh. Well that's an odd name to be sure.

*DarkFell* · 08-07-2014, 05:49 AM

I'm not even sure that Bangerang was even it's actual name mate. Anything that resembles Wiki can have some weird page info.

Isn't Bangerang Rufio's call from the movie Hook? Unless that's a real word I can't imagine that being the androids name.

*Coola Yagami* · 08-07-2014, 08:23 PM

Save yourself the trouble. It never had a name. It was just called 'Krang's android body' or 'Krang's robot body'.

*CyberCubed* · 08-07-2014, 09:02 PM

Yep, they always refer to it as, "Krang's Android Body" in the show. Even the toy is called that.

*snake* · 08-07-2014, 10:24 PM

Bangerang? Does the wiki include a source?

Yeah, that's what I figured. It's a good thing that I didn't entirely trust that info link from Turtlepedia, but I wasn't entirely sure either. Thanks everyone.

I pretty sure his name was Bob. It may not of been cool like Krang or Shredder name wise, but it was all the big guy had. How will you feel walking around with a talking slimy, Brain thing in your stomach all day barking orders?

The Body was just a minion among many nameless minions.

*laughs* Bob would definitely be a great name.

The series probably had lots of no-namers appearing as minions and 'special guests', so it would fitting if those same characters also rallied in front of the studio and demanded for their names, or even stalked their creators until their demands were met.

*just kidding*

As for that android, it certainly didn't seem to mind having it's only brain resting and piloting it from where the rest of it's stomach would have been.

*Discogod* · 08-12-2014, 01:17 PM

I always called him "Mr. Flippytits".

Seriously, that is just funny Disco.

I pretty much consider the android body as just Krang.

*shrugs* It's just easier for me, that's all.

*Slade* · 08-12-2014, 05:36 PM

Bob almost seems right to me...

I think I just called it Krang too.

Yeah I was gonna say, I never heard it called Bangerang.

I just came across that info on Turtlepedia and I wasn't sure on it's accuracy.
The android (body) never seemed to even have a name. Where the name Bangerang came from is anyone's guess.

Thanks anyway.

It was funny at least to hear Krang's android body actually speak in the episode, "Kraingstien Lives!' tho. I kept wondering how the hell it could talk! Also, since it had a mouth all the time, why didn't it talk before? Hmmm...
