20	-> ''"The Turtles must be eliminated from all places."''
21
22	A race of malevolent brain-like creatures from another dimension, they've been abducting and recruiting human scientists to help them modify their mutagen, which they plan on altering the Earth's atmosphere with. Furthermore, [[spoiler: it turns out that the Kraang are nothing more but brainwashed Utrom, all under the inane thrall of a former Utrom scientist named Kraang, now going by Kraang Prime.]]
23	----
24	* AbusivePrecursors: [[spoiler: In "The Invasion", Kraang Prime reveals that the Kraang mutated a species of ape millions of years ago, mutating them into early humans]].
25	* AdaptationalBadass: In the 1987 series, Krang was an exile cast out by his people and forced to turn to Shredder's help. Most adaptations follow this trend. ''These'' Kraang, while bumbling, are a hundred-strong HiveMind who conquered and enslaved almost all their race barring Bishop's resistance movement.
26	* AdaptationalVillainy: The Kraang are basically an evil inversion of the Utroms from Mirage comics and the 2003 series. While those Utrom accidentally created the mutagen as part of a plan to return home, the Kraang accidentally created it as part of a plan to invade Earth.
27	* AlienInvasion: [[spoiler: Which comes to a head in "Showdown". Though they fail, they succeed in taking New York in "The Invasion"]].
28	* AliensAreBastards: They want to invade our planet and remake it to their liking, and don't care how many of us they have to torture or kill.
29	* AlwaysChaoticEvil[=/=]AliensAreBastards: Just about every single Kraang shown so far is an enemy of the Turtles. [[spoiler:The third season however reveals this is because they share a HiveMind, and there is a separate tribe of Kraang, the Utroms, who are good guys.]]
30	* [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Always Someone Worse]]: The Triceratons to the Kraang.
31	* ArchEnemy: To the Tricerations.
32	* AxCrazy: In the "Kraang Conspiracy" they attempt to collect DNA from April with a very large needle to the head. April nervously asks if if they could just use a bit of her hair. They admit that would work, but add that the needle method is more entertaining.
33	* BadassInANiceSuit: In their human disguises.
34	* TheBadGuyWins: In "The Invasion", they have [[spoiler: successfully taken over New York, destroyed the Turtles' lair, and begun their plans to mutate the earth, forcing the Turtles, April, and Casey to flee the city and plan their next move]].
35	* BayonetYa: Though rarely used, a good many of their laserguns feature chainsaw-like bayonets not unlike the ones from ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar''.
36	* BigBadEnsemble: With the Shredder. Although, they have much more prominent role than the Shredder, being more dangerous than him and his Foot Clan and being directly or indirectly responsible for everything that happens in the series, making them ''the'' BigBad for the entire first season and overall main villains in the series. In the third season, however, they're almost immediately [[spoiler: wiped out by the Triceratons, at least their leadership, and this is not undone when the Turtles' time travel saves the Earth from the Heart of Darkness, leaving the Foot to become the main antagonists of the series.]]
37	* CannonFodder: The basic Kraang droids are pathetically easy to beat, and readily fall against not just the Turtles, but also every other character who's ever gone up against them...[[IdiotHero except]] [[FailureHero the Pulverizer]].
38	* ColdBloodedTorture: To Leatherhead, to the extent that just the mere mention of their name sends him into an UnstoppableRage.
39	* TheComicallySerious: In spades. They never lose that robotic tone of theirs and it provides some of the show's comedy.
40	* CompositeCharacter: The Kraang combine the name of Krang from the 1987 series with elements of the Mirage comics/2003 series' Utroms, such as their robotic human disguises.
41	** DecompositeCharacter: [[spoiler: "Annihilation Earth!" reveals the Utroms still exist in this adaptation as a separate, benevolent tribe of Kraang.]] This is taken even further when [[spoiler: it's revealed that all of the Kraang are actually regular Utroms that were brainwashed by Kraang Prime, who is the ''true'' Kraang.]]
42	* ConservationOfNinjitsu: Avoided in the first two episodes, where they do fairly well against the Turtles, though this might be because the Turtles hadn't quite learned how to work together yet. Later episodes play it straight, with several Kraang troopers not being able to cause much damage, but when they bring out Traag or a spaceship designed specifically to kill them, they are much more difficult to overcome.
43	* [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment The Department Which Is Known As The Department of Redundancy Department]]: They all talk like this.
44	-->"This place is a place that you are not allowed to be in this place."
45	** Shredder lampshades this in "Karai's Vendetta".
46	-->'''Shredder''': Do they all speak like this?
47	** And so does Kraang Sub-Prime in "Battle for New York".
48	-->'''Kraang Sub-Prime: '''What is it with the Kraangs' invasion of ''"the city known as New York City"''? What is that? We've been here for thousands of years, yet can't even speak proper English?
49	* DittoAliens: All Kraang aside from their much larger ruler look the same.
50	* DullSurprise: Their human disguises are as monotonous as their speech pattern.
51	* EatenAlive: [[spoiler: The fate of any Kraang that comes across the "Newtralizer"]].
52	* EliteMooks: Their Biotroid exo-suits, debuting in the second season. Unlike the spindly Kraangdroids, the Biotroids are bulky, ape-like bio-mechanical beasts with chainsaw nipples and butt cannons.
53	* EvenEvilHasStandards[=/=]PragmaticVillainy: When Karai wants to test out Chrome Dome on April, the Kraang are alarmed and work to underhandedly sabotage the assassination attempt since they have their own plans for April.
54	** In "Buried Secrets", [[spoiler:they did genetic experiments to produce a creature to infiltrate the O' Neil family using Kraang and human DNA. [[GoneHorriblyWrong The final result]] ended up being put in cold stasis due to being impossible to work with.]]
55	* [[EvilCounterpart Evil Counterparts]]: The entire Kraangs are this to the Utroms.
56	* EvilKnockoff: Most of the Kraang's technology - the Kraangdroid exo-suits, the Norman disguises, [[spoiler:Irma]] and Mrs. Campbell - are revealed to have been copied from Utrom designs in the fourth season.
57	* {{Expy}}: Seeing as they are a race of evil, squid-like aliens who use robot bodies, have little to no individual personality, and have a large central commander that controls the rest via a HiveMind, this makes them quite similar [[Series/DoctorWho the Daleks]].
58	* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: The Kraang all fight using laser blasters. Justified because they're aliens from another dimension.
59	* HughMann: When they are using their robots to appear human, and the UK TMNT comics even call them "Normans".
60	* TheIlluminati: They've been outright stated to have manipulated human history, with "Normans" being shown as far back as the Pilgrims reaching America in documents Kurtzman has (who created an insignia about this Kraang conspiracy which is the typical Illuminati "triangle and eye" symbol, just more organic). [[spoiler:Kraang Prime also confirms that they essentially ''created'' humanity by mutating monkeys, making the first pre-historic humans.]]
61	* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: Standard for TMNT, they can never hit a damn thing. They do manage to hit Leatherhead and the Spy-Roach, but they prove [[ImmuneToBullets immune]]. In "Showdown", Raphael actually does get shot by one of the Krang, all it does is knock him down and scorch his shell a little bit, but it does piss him off.
62	* JetPack: Some of them wear them in "The Pulverizer" and "Cockroach Terminator".
63	* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:The event of the Triceratons blowing Kraang Prime and Kraang Subprime, the controllers of the Kraang, to kingdom come in "Annihilation Earth!" still evidently took place in "Earth's Last Stand", only it was not shown the second time.]]
64	* KillerGorilla: "The Mutation Situation" reveals they have a specialized heavy combat/labor exosuit that is basically a blue-furred cyborg alien gorilla with no head. [[AssKicksYou And twin heavy-laser cannons concealed inside its prominent metallic buttcheeks.]]
65	* LaughablyEvil: As evil and disgusting as they are and despite still being a dangerous threat, they're still pretty darn funny mostly in due part to their DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment as well as some other funny quirks that they have.
66	* LongGame: They've been trying to terraform Earth for thousands of years.
67	* MechaMooks: Courtesy of their exosuits.
68	* MobileSuitHuman: Since the Kraang don't look human they use these to blend in.
69	* MythologyGag: The UK TMNT comics call the Kraang disguises "Normans". There's a quick reference to this in "The Kraang Conspiracy" when a TCRI keycard is shown to have the name "Norman Kraangenhoffer" on it.
70	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Due to their experiments with Mutagen, they've effectively indirectly created almost all of their enemies, whether mutant or human.
71	* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: Subverted, as at the time, the Turtles fully believed that their battle with the Kraang in "Battle for New York" was their last and that they would never return. However, promotional material for upcoming episodes (and common sense in the audience) said otherwise.
72	* PutOnABus: After "Battle For New York", they are sidelined and the show focuses on the war with the Foot Clan (and other filler) until the end of the third season.
73	* SlaveRace: [[spoiler: "The War for Dimension X" reveals that an Utrom named Kraang discovered mutagen and mutated himself but also gained psychic powers which he used to brainwash most of the Utroms into his Kraang soldiers.]]
74	* StarterVillain: Though they differ from other examples in that they are also the BigBad.
75	* {{Technopath}}: One took over Metalhead, though it was probably only due to it being derived from their technology.
76	* ThirdPersonPerson:
77	--> '''Kraang:''' Give to Kraang the power cell that Kraang has come to demand that you give to Kraang!
78	--> '''Michelangelo:''' It's the Kraang!
79	* VillainExitStageLeft: They're surprisingly quick on their tendrils when it comes time to jump ship.
80	* VillainsOutShopping: Two Kraang's have a conversation about a gluten free diet making one of their member thinner.
81	* VillainTeamUp: They join up with the Foot Clan in the final episodes of the first season, an alliance that proves mutually beneficial. The Shredder is smart enough to not fully trust them, refusing to allow Karai to deal with them behind his back, and acknowledges that they will eventually turn on him. However, in "The Invasion", he notes that they have been very straightforward thus far, providing much and asking little in return. They promise to [[spoiler: restore Karai's humanity]] in exchange for his aid in conquering the world.
82	* TheVoiceless: Outside of their robo-suits, the Kraang seem to only be able to speak in shrieks and snarls. This is The Krang's SignatureSoundEffect.
83	* WheresTheFunInThat: In "The Kraang Conspiracy", they have April restrained and plan to extract her DNA using a massive needle that will kill her; when April points out that they could just take DNA from a strand of her hair, the Kraang state that while that is true, it's not as entertaining.
84	* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler: Kraang using mutagen on himself gave him psychic powers but took away his sanity]].
85	* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Two Kraang Apes perform a suplex/flying crossbody double team maneuver on Leatherhead in "Battle For New York".
86	* ZergRush: It seldom helps them though, until "The Invasion".

89	[[folder:Kraang Prime]]
90	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RoseanneBarr (Season 1-2), Creator/RachelButera (Season 3)
91	[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kraang_prime_5687.png]]
92	-> ''"Like all Kraang, I am Kraang. But you can call me Kraang."''
93
94	Leader of the Kraang and mastermind of their invasion force. He was [[spoiler:originally named "Kraang" and when he gains his psychic powers to mind control the other Utroms, they call themselves Kraang]].
95	----
96	* AlienInvasion: He leads a full-fledged Kraang invasion in "Showdown".
97	* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: ''Much'' larger than a standard Kraang. This goes double for his robotic body.
98	* BigBadEnsemble: With The Shredder for the majority of the show until the Triceraton Empire kills both Kraag Prime and Kraang Sub-Prime in the third season finale.
99	* CombatTentacles: His MobileSuitHuman has these.
100	* DecompositeCharacter: Kraang Prime and Kraang Sub-Prime both borrow certain aspects of Krang from the original '87 show ([[ExpyCoexistence crossover episodes not widthstanding]]). Kraang Prime acts as the first-half of the BigBadDuumvirate alongside Shredder (even in communication with each other before the Kraang start the occupation of New York) and his giant droid-body bares a few superficial similarities to Krang's exo-suit.
101	* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: 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 'Kraang'. He does, however, occasionally slip into the redundant habit of his lessers. Unlike them, [[KnightOfCerebus he isn't humorous]].
102	-->'''Kraang Prime''': The invasion that is known as the invasion of Earth begins...'''now'''.
103	* {{Egopolis}}[=/=]{{Narcissist}}: The Kraang call themselves after him [[spoiler: because they're pretty much a HiveMind SlaveRace of his people which he named after himself.]]
104	* ExoticEyeDesigns: His retinas are vaguely star-shaped.
105	* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[spoiler: He was once an Utrom scientist who used mutagen to give himself psychic powers which made him deranged and allowed him to brainwash most of the Utrom population into his Kraang soldiers.]]
106	* GreaterScopeVillain: Kraang Prime was just another Utrom before he discovered the mutagen's potential. Using it on himself, he became a giant who enslaved most fo the other Utrom under his HiveMind. The Kraang would go on to wage with the Triceratons (who would go on to establish themselves as a galactic empire in Earth's dimension) and began invading Earth with the intent of expanding their territory, [[spoiler:leading to [[AbusivePrecursors the creation of mankind in their attempts at using the mutagen in Earth's dimension]]]]. In other words, Kraang Prime is responsible for literally ''everything'' that happens in the series.
107	* HumongousMecha: Battles inside of one.
108	* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:Both he and Kraang Subprime were killed in "Annihilation Earth!" when the Triceratons blasted the Technodrome. If the episode "Earth's Last Stand" (which reversed almost all of the bad stuff that happened in "AE") is any indication, they were still killed by the Triceratons offscreen. Their deaths and Mozar becoming a victim of the BHG rather than Earth leaves the Shredder as the only remaining BigBad from the first 4 seasons still operating for the second half of season four.]]
109	* LargeAndInCharge: The largest of all the Kraang so far.
110	* LargeHam: Prime speaks ''much'' more dramatically than any other Kraang in the series, possibly in part because it speaks directly instead of through a robotic suit.
111	* ManBehindTheMan: Kraang Prime was behind everything that the Kraang did throughout the series, but wasn't directly mentioned or didn't actually appear until the finale. He takes a much more direct role in "The Invasion".
112	* MobileSuitHuman: Though much less humanoid than the Kraangdroids.
113	* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: More obvious than most Kraang since his mouth is much bigger.
114	* NeverSayDie: Averted.
115	-->'''Kraang Prime''': [[PrepareToDie All of you will]] '''[[PrepareToDie die]]''' [[PrepareToDie here!]]
116	* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: He's basically a giant, mutated, extra-dimensional alien brain with PsychicPowers, the first two being what makes him unique among the rest of his species.
117	* OneWingedAngel: Appears to be stationary and stuck in a hole in the wall, but after the Turtles foil his initial plans, he rips his way out to reveal his towering robotic body.
118	* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Appears in the RoguesGallery section of the new season two opening.
119	* SharedFamilyQuirks: Since the members of his species that are not subjected to his HiveMind (Kraang Subprime, 1987 Kraang, and the Utrom) do not have his [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment redundant speech pattern]], the rest of the Kraang probably only talk this way because Kraang Prime does. Whether or not this was the result of his mutation or if he always did this out of a mental disorder is up in the air.
120	* SmugSnake: He is very smug and arrogant.
121	* ThirdPersonPerson: Like most Kraang.
122	* VoiceOfTheLegion: Sounds like at least two different voices saying the same lines.
123	[[/folder]]

125	[[folder:Ms. Campbell]]
126	->'''Voiced by:''' [[Creator/ElviraMistressOfTheDark Cassandra Peterson]].
127	[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TMNT_Alien_Agenda_032_410.png]]
128
129	A Kraangdroid, minus the Kraang pilot.
130	----
131	* AmbiguousSituation: Was she somehow recovered and rebuilt after the events of "The Alien Agenda," or did the Kraang mass-produce her?
132	* ArmCannon: She can shoot missiles out of her ''elbows''.
133	* BackForTheFinale: She can be seen reinforcing Kraangdroids guarding TCRI in "Showdown".
134	* CanonForeigner: She was created for the series.
135	* CombatStilettos: A more [[JustifiedTrope justified]] example of this trope, as she’s not human, but an android.
136	* DarkActionGirl: One of the bad guys and very active in combat.
137	* EnergyWeapon: Her Plasma Whip.
138	* FeelNoPain: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] on account of her being an android.
139	* HotTeacher: Her appearance definitely invokes this.
140	* [[ImplacableMan Implacable Woman]]: Being an android and all.
141	* ImprobableWeaponUser: She throws razor sharp sheets of "paper" from her clipboard.
142	* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Despite being an android made specifically for combat, Ms. Campbell "wears" a skirt and high heels.
143	* LegFocus: Her legs are very toned and complimented well by her sleek high heels.
144	* MsFanservice: Strangely enough, she seems to be this.
145	* PaperMaster: In one of the few scenes where she was fighting.
146	* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Appears in the RoguesGallery section of the new season two opening.
147	* SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaid: The Kraang really pulled out all the stops with her.
148	* RedEyesTakeWarning: When angry, her eyes glow red.
149	* RobotGirl: And an older robotic woman at that. Not that she’s any less attractive, though.
150	[[/folder]]
151
152	[[folder:Traag]]
153	[[quoteright:185:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/185px-S01E17_Traag_1249.png]]
154
155	A rock titan from Dimension X. The Kraang summon him in "[[Recap/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012S1E17TCRI TCRI]]" as part of their takeover of earth, and he fights the Turtles before being sent back to Dimension X by Leatherhead.
156	----
157	* AdaptationalBadass: Traag in the 1987 series was little more than a rock soldier with a name. In this adaptation, Traag is 20 ft. tall, spews out lava, and can pull himself together after being blown up.
158	* ArchEnemy: Seems to be this to Leatherhead, given the latter's reaction when he sees him in "TCRI".
159	* AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler: Leonardo blasts all of his limbs off in "Showdown", but he's able to call them back to him.]]
160	* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler: The Kraang bring him back for "Showdown".]]
161	* ConvectionSchmonvection: He's a towering MagmaMan, and yet the Turtles and Leatherhead are able to touch and attack him without getting burned.
162	* DishingOutDirt: He is a rock titan/golem like creature in addition to his fire abilities
163	* DisneyVillainDeath:[[spoiler:Subverted: He and Granitor are tossed off a platform in Dimension X and sent falling into space, the unique properties of gravity there mean that whatever happens is unlikely to be fatal.]]
164	* HealingFactor: He's able to literally pull himself back together if he loses a limb.
165	* ImplacableMan: Traag is so large and sturdy that the Turtles' attacks merely bounce off of him. [[spoiler: Even dynamite fails to harm him for long]].
166	* MagmaMan: TronLines of magma cross over his body and limbs, as well as giving him GlowingEyesOfDoom and a ThroatLight.
167	* OurGiantsAreBigger: Traag is a ''lot'' bigger in this continuity. WordOfGod states that he's 20 feet tall.
168	* PlayingWithFire: Traag can spit a stream of lava from his mouth.
169	* PullingThemselvesTogether: Any of his limbs that are removed him his body can go back to it, allowing him to reassemble himself.
170	* TheSpeechless: He does have some impressive roars, though.
171	[[/folder]]
172
173	[[folder:Granitor]]
174
175	A similar rock titan to Traag, who is partnered with him.
176	----
177	* AdaptationalBadass: As with Traag, Granitor was little more than a named rock soldier in the 1987 cartoon compared to the gigantic MagmaMan he appears as here.
178	* PaletteSwap: His model is pretty much Traag, but with a lot of the fire details removed or made more subtle, as well as white.
179	* PlayingWithFire: He can breath fire, though unlike his partner, his fire goes slightly upward and is blue.
180	* TheSpeechless: Same as his partner.
181	[[/folder]]
182
183	[[folder:The Sea Monster]]
184	[[quoteright:145:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sea_monster-w145-h275_4677.png]]
185
186	A huge aquatic beast the Kraang brought from Dimension X to guard their underwater base/Kraang-water production facility. The Turtles distract it to enter the base, but have to fight it to escape.
187	----
188	* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Its head alone is as tall as Donatello, to say nothing of its length and width. The creature's entire body is longer than the Turtle Sub and just as tall back-to-belly, but it's not as thick.
189	* CanonForeigner: It was created for the series.
190	* DistractedByTheSexy: The beast is quite attracted to the Turtle Sub, which saves the Turtles' lives.
191	* LoveHurts: When Leonardo releases explosive charges to get the creature to release the Turtle Sub, it has a very sad expression as the Sub escapes into the distance.
192	* MadeOfIron: Shrugs off both the explosion of the Kraang base and the Turtles' explosive charges with nary a scratch.
193	* TheSpeechless: Being an animal, it never utters a word.
194	* StockNessMonster: The creature has the same body style as most reports of Nessie, with a humped back and swan-like neck. Its flippers are more paw-like though, with rounded ends and short claws. It also has two tendrils dangling from its lower jaw.
195	* StockSoundEffect: When holding the Turtle Sub, the creature makes humpback whale and orca calls.

198	[[folder:Kraang Sub-Prime]]
199	->'''Voiced by''': Creator/GilbertGottfried
200	[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/char_130762_5996.jpg]]
201
202	A scarred Kraang spy. He makes himself known in "The Invasion", when [[spoiler:Irma]] is revealed to be him in disguise.
203	----
204	* AliensSpeakingEnglish: He can speak English outside of his Kraang suit, possibly because of his gifted experience of being a spy or the cyborg parts that comprise his body allow for the translation. He also speaks English fluently, like the Utroms but unlike the other Kraang (or even Kraang Prime, who also speaks without the aid of a suit), and when he appears in "Battle for New York", he complains that he's the ''only'' Kraang that does this:
205	--> What is it with the Kraangs' invasion of "the city known as New York City"? What is that? We've been here for thousands of years, yet can't even speak proper English?
206	* BadassBoast: "[[LargeHam Lowly insects, kneel before the genius of Kraang Sub-Prime!]] The greatest Kraang spy in all of Dimension X!"
207	* BerserkButton: Being called Kraang Sub-sub prime.
208	* ButtMonkey: Not that he doesn't deserve it, but every appearance he has usually ends with him supposedly dying.
209	* CainAndAbel: He is this to Bishop.
210	* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[spoiler:Inverted. The character Irma, from previous incarnations, actually turns out to be him undercover, and Sub-Prime himself is original to the series.]]
211	* CanonForeigner: He was created for the series.
212	* ChessMotifs: [[spoiler:He was once a member of the Utrom Council named "Knight" before he became evil.]]
213	* DecompositeCharacter: Kraang Prime, established to be the original Kraang, is portrayed as a somewhat more serious character in this version, but Sub-Prime has more personality aspects in common with the 1987 version of the character, such as his LargeHam personality and his tendency to yell at his men.
214	* DirtyCoward: He refuses to help Mona Lisa and Sal Commander fight the Triceratons because they're too tough, and when Mona Lisa calls him a coward, he casually admits as much. As soon Mona Lisa slips out the fact the Turtles are their allies, he's quick to attack them and lock them in his dungeon.
215	* TheDragon: To Kraang Prime.
216	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be genocidal, but he's not an OmnicidalManiac, unlike his cousin from the 1987 series who ''tried to destroy Turtle Prime and by extension every dimension the Turtles exist in''. When he learns of Krang's real plan he stops everything and beats the crap out of him for pulling something like that, even flat-out screaming that he banished Krang to the 1987 dimension specifically because he was [[TooDumbToLive so dangerously stupid]].
217	* EvilIsHammy: Considering his VA, it was a given.
218	* EvilIsPetty: When he holds the Utrom Queen hostage, he just feels the need to bully her.
219	* {{Expy}}: His different speech-pattern and outright hamminess makes him much more similar to Krang from the 1987 series. Subverted, when it turns out the ''real'' Krang exists. In "Trans-Dimensional Turtles" he proves to be far more competent and smarter than 1987 Krang.
220	* FaceHeelTurn[=/=]FallenHero: From the greatest Utrom hero to Kraang Prime's second in command.
221	* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a wicked gash running down his forehead.
222	* TheHeavy: He's become the most recurring Kraang villain the Turtles have faced.
223	* JokerImmunity: Has survived two supposed deaths and just keeps coming back. [[spoiler: At least until the Triceraton invasion...]]
224	* LargeHam: This is a Gilbert Gottfried character we're talking about.
225	* LaughablyEvil: He never stops screaming and getting annoyed with his antics providing other Kraang humour.
226	* MadeOfIron: Somehow he manages to escape death every time without a scratch. [[spoiler: Well, except for the time the Technodrome was destroyed by the Triceratons.]]
227	* MasterOfDisguise: They don't call him the greatest Kraang spy for nothing.
228	* MobileSuitHuman: Better known as [[spoiler:Irma]].
229	* MoodWhiplash: [[spoiler:The reveal that he's Irma first comes off as shocking…until he speaks.]]
230	* OnlySaneMan: Among the Kraang, he's the only one to complain that, despite the fact they've been on Earth for thousands of years, almost none of them have learned proper English or the like.
231	* RedRightHand: One of his tentacles ends in a metal claw.
232	* TheSpymaster: For the Kraang in his debut appearance.
233	* SurroundedByIdiots: How he feels about the other Kraang not named "Kraang Prime".
234	* ThatManIsDead: [[spoiler: When Bishop calls him by his original title of "Knight", he retorts that the name means nothing to him.]]
235	* TheyKilledKennyAgain: In the majority of his appearances, he usually exits the episode in a blazing inferno, but he usually gets better with an UnexplainedRecovery every time. Though, he was likely KilledOffForReal in "Annihilation: Earth!" when the [[EvilVersusEvil Triceratons blew him, Kraang Prime and the Technodrome into smithereens]].
236	* TruerToTheText: Unlike the rest of the Kraang, who are generally portrayed as more serious and lacking individuality than the original incarnation, Kraang Sub-Prime is more similar to the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 original]] version of the character; loud, snarky, and constantly complaining about the intelligence of his co-workers.
237	* UncertainDoom: Since the Turtles went back in time after "Annihilation: Earth!", and "Trans-Dimensional Turtles" ends with him being sent to the world of the Mirage Comics, and he was alone when the Turtles did that to him and he had no means of contacting Kraang Prime, it's not known if he ever got out and his apparent death in the former still ended up happening.
238	* UnderestimatingBadassery: He ''always'' underestimates the Turtles.
239	* UnexplainedRecovery: He appeared to die in "The Invasion" when a giant chunk of rock dropped on him. He later returned in "Battle For New York", with no explanation for how he survived, and survives another apparent death and turns up in "Annihilation: Earth!".

247	Kraang Sub-Prime's cousin and the Krang from the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 1987 series]]. Having been banished to the 1987-dimension for being a failure, Krang continues his campaign of conquest alongside his version of the Shredder.
248	----
249	* AdaptationalWimp: In the '87 series, he's established as being the leader of an Evil Empire of his very own, with various monsters from Dimension X willing to do his bidding and was overall a competent villain before {{Flanderization}} kicked in. Here, he's just a minor grunt who was so much of a fuck-up that he was [[ReassignedToAntarctica sent to the 1987-Dimension for it]].
250	* CanonWelding: While the different incarnations of the 1987 and 2012 characters are meant to be alternate dimensional counterparts of each other, this version of Krang is meant to be a member of the Kraang and cousin of Kraang Sub-Prime (who many see as his 2012 counterpart).
251	* FinalBoss: He and his Shredder are the final enemies the 2012 Turtles defeat.
252	* ReassignedToAntarctica: Kraang Sub-Prime banished him to the 1987-dimension because he was a massive screw-up.
253	* StupidEvil: The whole reason why he was banished to the 1987-dimension was because he was an idiot who caused more harm than good, him threatening to destroy dimensions the Kraang have been trying to mutate and conquer being one big example.
254	--> '''Kraang Sub-Prime''': This is why I banished you to the Two-Dimensional Earth in the first place. Because you're an idiot! A moron! A dingleberry!
