	*Krok's original toy had a grey color scheme in the preproduction phase, on display in various catalogs, the 1990 boxback mural, and his [[Power Plans]].

	: Part of the second series of individually-carded [[Action Master]]s sold in the seventh and final year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)\|original US ''Transformers'' toyline]], Krok is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure of a robot with an indeterminate vehicular [[alternate mode]]; his chest design hints that he was once some kind of flying craft thanks to something that looks like a cockpit, though this is the only pseudo-reliable clue we get as to what his former vehicle mode might be. His construction is broadly similar to that used by the ''[[G.I. Joe (franchise)\|G.I. Joe]]'' figures of the time, having a swivel neck, shoulders and knees, plus ball-jointed hips attached via a steel rod internally secured by a rubber "o-ring". His hands have standard 3 mm holes which allow him to hold any other accessory in the Action Master line, plus his feet have holes in the bottom to secure him to larger vehicles. On top of that, the hole in his back is compatible with [[5 mm post]]s.		: Part of the second series of individually-carded [[Action Master]]s sold in the seventh and final year of the [[The Transformers (toyline)\|original US ''Transformers'' toyline]], Krok is a non-transforming 3¾-inch action figure of a robot with an indeterminate vehicular [[alternate mode]]; his chest design hints that he was once some kind of flying craft thanks to something that looks like a cockpit, though this is the only pseudo-reliable clue we get as to what his former vehicle mode might be.
