History

Notes & Trivia

 * Kraang Prime speaks without the aid of his exo-suit and does so in a much less redundant way than his minions. He even refers to himself in the singular, specifically naming himself 'Krang'. He does, however, occasionally slip into the redundant habit of his lessers.
 * It seems almost certain that Kraang Prime is the 2012 series' incarnation of Krang. This is shown in the similarity of its exo-suit to the 87 character's, its high-pitched voice, and its direct introduction as 'Krang'.
