I just realized something. Kraang Subprime was originally an Utrom, right? And what's the biggest obvious difference about him? He's good at acting independently for long periods of time, and he speaks perfect English without Kraangy grammar tics. Subprime has berated other Kraang for not mastering human language, but has it occurred to anyone else that maybe they can't master human language, and there's a reason for it? Maybe being part of the Kraang Hive Mind is detrimental to a Kraang developing individuality, and also hurts their ability to communicate clearly with other species. I mean, think about it&mdash;if they exist as a hive, they probably communicate with each other telepathically 99% of the time, usually only speaking at all if they're in their Kraangdroid suits (which, interestingly, Bishop invented). And most cannot speak outside of their suits at all, save Kraang Prime (who has the grammar tic) and Kraang Subprime (who can speak without assistance). This makes me wonder if Bishop too can speak and function just as independently without his Norman suit. Kraang Subprime's value to the Kraang Hive Mind may not have been in spite of originally being an Utrom, but because of it&mdash;his combination of individuality and loyalty to the Hive Mind made him perfect as a special agent, spy and coordinator. If I'm right, this means most Utroms will think and act nothing like the Kraang. And, if that's true, it may also mean that a half-Kraang like April is more like the Utroms than like the Kraang Hive. I also wonder if Bishop originally invented the Kraangdroid suits (with voice modulators) specifically to assist an Utrom trying to live a peaceful independent life, but the Kraang Hive merely repurposed this suit design to allow Kraang Hive operatives to operate on Earth incognito.

One thing's for certain. We need more articles. is the species, the Kraang Hive Mind is the antagonistic hierarchy, and s may just be Kraang who live as individuals free of the Hive Mind.
