Granitor (1987 TV series)



Granitor (also known as Morph) is a high-ranking grey Stone Warrior. He appeared in the 1987 TV series episode Hot Rodding Teenagers from Dimension XGranitor is General Tragg's right hand man, and one of Krang's loyal soldiers from Dimension X. He accompanied General Traag when they were pursuing a gang of rogue Neutrino kids through a battlefield in Dimension X. Granitor and Traag came following the Neutrinos through the dimensional portal, when they were inadvertently summoned to Earth by Shredder, who was experimenting with the trans-dimensional portal aboard the Technodrome. After a small skirmish with the turtles, the Neutrinos teamed up with them. He and Traag pursued the Neutrinos through New York City, despite the attempts by both the police and military to subdue them. They were even successful in driving the Ninja Turtles into a full retreat. Their fight with the Turtles eventually resulted in Michaelangelo and Donatello senting both Granitor and General Tragg back through the portal and to their own dimension. TriviaAlthough the storyline, and most of the dialogue, for the original mini series were exactly the same in both the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 TV series) and the Archie Comics, Granitor was absent in the comics fiction and was instead replaced by a generic Rock Soldier who seemed to be very much General Traggs double.In the episodes in which he appeared, Granitor spoke in a manner similar to Peter Lorre.In one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comics that came with a tape, the Rock Soldier identical to Traag that replaced Granitor in the comics was called Morph.
