how does krang himself become giant in "shredded and splinted"?

~~1987~~ · 07-03-2015, 06:32 PM

ive always wondered how it was possible. on the episode "shredded and splinted" krang installs a "mollecular amplification circuit" into the android body so that it can expand in size. however, in the scene where he is gigantic walking around the city, krang himself is also very large. how did the "mollecular amplification circuit" also increase krang's size, rather than just the body? shouldn't krang have stayed the same size since the chip was in the robot body?

Maybe when Krang is in the unit he's plugged in to something that syncs his... whatevers with the robot. I dunno. Cartoon logic can't be made sense of.

The chip is probably programmed to enlarge both Krang and the robot. That's probably why Shredder first has to place Krang inside the robot before installing the chip.

That's what I think, too. Krang is most likely plugged into the robot in some way, especially since Shredder said Krang would "revive" in his new body.

However, now I'm picturing Krang staying the same size while his android body is growing. All I see is an itty bitty Krang in the stomach cavity controlling everything

^^ That is what happened to Ch'rell in Turtles forever.
I dunno why he grew, I'm glad he did though, that woulda been funny ifhe hadn't

Well, in Turtles Forever, Krang himself shrinks back down to his normal size off-screen after his android body is damaged by Ch'rell. His body is also normal-sized at the end of the movie.

Imagine if he was smaller but the controls of the robot were too big and far apart for his tentacles to reach. xD
