| - Chivalrous and well-skilled in the art of war, Kranix is a friar warrior and scientific explorer from the planet Lithone. Like all Lithones, Kranix possesses a high percentage of emotional circuits in his computer brain. But instead of incapacitating him with fear, as it does his friend Arblus, these extra emotional circuits have given him the most complete personality of any robot in existence. In fact, Autobots who have met both Kranix and Earthlings have actually said he seems more human than some of the Earthlings they know. Kranix can transform into a star-spanning space cruiser in .25 of a second. In space cruiser form he can reach speeds of over 1,000 miles a second for short bursts. His neutron-propelled engines give him an almost infinite range as they can use even the smallest atomic particle in space to power them, though because of the scarcity of such particles Kranix's speed is literally slowed to a crawl once his fuel reserves are exhausted. For defense, Kranix's cruiser mode is equipped with a massive laser cannon to stave off would-be space pirates. Although he carries no weapons in robot mode, Kranix is a master of hand-to-hand combat, as well as using his environment to his advantage. His mild temper leads many to underestimate him, but when pushed to action, Kranix is not above putting the aggressive and rude in their place, although he never kills if he can help it.
