"My god. It's full of stars."

Kranix is the last survivor of the consumed planet Lithone. Well-versed in the art of combat, the friar warrior Kranix has an advanced artificial intelligence, possessing a full range of emotion. But unlike his late companion Arblus, this emotion does not cripple him with fear. Rather, he's friendly and polite, seeming almost human.

That is, until his present situation, which has carved a faultline in his chivalrous exterior.

Fiction

The Transformers: The Movie

Voice actor: Norman Alden (US), ? (Japan)

After Lithone was destroyed by Unicron, Kranix was the only survivor of the planet's destruction. He was able to escape in a ship before he shared his fate with his comrades. Eventually, Kranix crashlanded on the planet Quintessa, home of the dreaded Quintessons and Sharkticons. He was captured by these evil beings and sentenced to death in the Sharkticon pit. As Kranix was eaten by the Sharkticons, Kup and Hot Rod looked on at what their fate might have been, had the Dinobots not rescued them.

In the Marvel Comics adaptation of the movie, Kranix and Arblus were running from mysterious acid mist that is eclipsing their planet, when Arblus is overtaken and devoured by the mist. Fearing for his life, Kranix transformed into his spaceship mode and fled Lithone as it dissolved.
