New Article: Krang’s Android Body!

We've seen lots of Krang here on the site. Several months back, we saw the TMNT episode where Krang finally got that body of his. Now, here's a look at the toy based on it. "Krang's Android Body," made by Playmates in 1991, is a towering inferno of half-naked bald belly-brained terror made of plastic and sin. I love it, every part of it. For those curious: yes, the Krang figure was removable. You want a pocket brain pal, you can have it. Review features a bonus section where Krang Jell-O molds fall apart.

And I have seen the game beaten before. Of course, we used the quicksave feature on the emulator, but it was beaten. Shredder can kill you in one hit. I hate his ass.

The trick with the seaweed level is to leave one of the 1st and easy bobmbs, get all the rest, and kill one turtle. If you have one turtle w/a decent amount of life left, u can fill up the other 3 pretty easy in that 1st building in level 3 (where u get the rockets) and go get the dead turtle. Of course, this means u cant lose a turtle in level 3, but I never had a problem with that. The Technodrome though, that’s friggin impossible. All the enemies way too hard in there for me, and way too confusing a lay out.

I mastered that damn seaweed level on the NES and it never occoured to me to cheat like that. I feel like I’ve wasted a LOT of time.

That game was pretty freakin hard for a kids game after that point.

Part 2 was SUPER easy in comparison, especially if you played two players, but man, that game was cool. Moreso in the arcade(that polar bear boss is pretty weak…) but still…

Krang is sooooo HOT!!!!

I could see Krang (the brain, not the Klingon) as being from a related species to the Utroms. Kinda like Vulcans and Romulans. Wandering around the galaxy in his freakin huge spacecraft, the Technodrome, on the trail of the Utroms, and eventually finding Earth. The Turtles slap him silly, and send him on his way. April bakes cookies for everybody, roll credits.

Hey, Is it just me or would anybody else like to see the old toys re-realeased?

Chestnuts roasted by Evil Eyes @ 04/01/2004 8:10 PM

Krang can’t be a true Ultrom. Remeber the episode where he got his real body back? He looked like a Lizard thing, totally threw me for a loop.

Casey, I have to admit it was my dad’s idea to sac. the turtle in level 2, tho it does work out great.

On the subject of TMNT video games, my favourite was TMNT 3: The Manhattan Project for the NES. It was so awesome how each turtle had his own unique ability and you could switch turtles between lives rather than having to stay with the same turtle. Plus the bosses were dang cool (especially Super Shredder). It’s too hard to play with one player, though, so playing with two players is advised.

You know, it’s really too bad that there was never a TMNT game for the NES that utilized the four-player devices. It would’ve been so bad-assed to be able to play as all four TMNT at the same time. Oh well, at least you could do it in the arcade games.

If you want a more Believeable "Krang Pink" For your Krang Jello Mold, Use Watermelon Flavored Jello and fold in some Cool Whip then let set. It will Be "Krang Pink" (and taste delicious) For Instructions:
Preparation
STIR boiling water into gelatin in large bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate about 1-1/4 hours or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). Gently stir in 2 cups of the whipped topping with wire whisk until well blended. Refrigerate about 15 minutes or until thickened (spoon drawn through leaves definite impression).

Here is some good Mr. Show/Adult Swim news:
http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/503/503483p3.html
"…Lazzo confessed his inability to explain quite what the concept was behind the next pilot, Tom Goes to the Mayor, whose executive producer is Bob Odenkirk (of the cult cable comedy Mr. Show). Each episode has small town citizen Tom Peters bring one of what the press release calls his "crackpot ideas" to the town’s Mayor, and comedy ensues as they try to implement the scheme. In the pilot, for example, they set bear traps out around children’s playgrounds; I presume this is to protect small children from bears, but I believe the flaw in Peters’ and the Mayor’s reasoning here is evident. Voices for the show will be supplied by Odenkirk, his Mr. Show partner David Cross, Jack Black, and his Tenacious D teammate Kyle Gass."

The last boss of the tmnt nes game was shredder with a retro mutagen gun . Evil man. i used an invincibility code though cos i had it on the commodor 64. The ending had amazing graphics for the time, but yes, the game was mad hard.

Nate,

It would have been great to have had the 4-player option on the NES game, but I doubt the NES would have been able to handle it. The NES was bad about flickering when too many sprites were on the screen. I remember how bad it was with two-player trying to fight three foot soldiers at once or a couple of mousers. i think everything would go invisible with four turtles on the screen. …Though that might be the gimmick to go for… Invisiturtle.

Next time try this for the perfect Jello firmness.
Once it is firm you do not have to keep it refrigerated.
Sorta like a giant Gummy Bear.

3 boxes of your favorite Jello
4 packages Knox Clear Gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
4 cups boiling water
1 cup cold water

Anybody remember the ULTIMATE cross-over in craze toylines? The Turtle Trolls?

Chestnuts roasted by George @ 04/02/2004 7:40 PM

Oddly enough, Krang was one of the few original TMNT action figures my Turtle-crazy cousin never had. He had almost everything else, including some of the rareties like Mondo Gecko, the blimp, the bike, and sewer hideout. We were given his stash after he outgrew them and my brother was declared old enough to play with them and not chew them, but he played with them and kept them outside, so we no longer have any of it, unfortunantly. A lot of it wasn’t in great shape when we got it, but still.

The only voice impression I can do is krang.

Android Body to Krang: "Git in me belly!"

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 04/03/2004 4:10 PM

I want a totally tubular tabulator. ie Calculating device…

Chestnuts roasted by jgoreham @ 04/03/2004 6:01 PM

Here’s an idea…next Valentines Day, get some white chocolate, throw it in one of those "Chocolate Factory" things with the slightest amount of red food coloring (not too much, it gotsta be pink not red), pour it into that Jello mold, and give that special someone a chocolate Krang. Say it with a Krang. Krang conquers all. It’ll be a Krang moment.

Chestnuts roasted by Darc_humor @ 04/04/2004 12:31 PM

I had that Krang figure. I didn’t have his body though. I don’t recall Krang being that hard to find. It was April O’Neil I never saw in stores. NEVER!

Matt, if you add just a touch of condensed milk to red jello right before refrigerating it, it’ll give a perfect Krang-y fleshy pink color.

Chestnuts roasted by Hellpop! @ 04/04/2004 8:22 PM

Dragonrider, you are right. April was hard to find!!! I never saw her. I do think one of my friends has one…damn him.
