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.
