Was the robot race on his planet a Transformer race or just straight up Robot only?

 

And how come his people knew of Unicron and not the Transformers?

Time constraints and other considerations prevented me from engineering a transform for it. I wanted to make more of these than there has been of any other Cybcon exclusive. One of the major valid points attendees have had is that I don't make enough figures to go around. Adding the transformation would have involved extra complexity that I didn't have the time to deal with at the quantity we wanted produced. So as a compromise for the extra numbers produced I scrapped plans for the transformation.

 

Also, when I was designing it I came to the conclusion that the TF Universe profile alternate mode wasn't correct. I spent a lot of time going over every little detail of the character and I came to the conclusion that he turned into a car instead of a jet. I think the guys at Marvel made up the jet transform but it isn't actually what Floro Dery had in mind. I can't imagine what would've happened if I engineered it to transform into what I thought it should. People would have said 'Kranix wasn't a car!'

I wanna see his jet pics. All these years I never thought of em as a Transformer. Especially not a jet.

 

I'd say a motorcycle like Wreckgar

it was a pretty silly mode - imagine the ark but with his head on the front of it.

I dug out my universe comic #4 (oddly the only one I have) and scanned both Kranix and Arblus for ya.

[TMan978]

Maybe Transmutate was related to these guys....

[AutobotMaximal]

I think it's awesome. I love fan made stuff like this. I wish I had a way of getting one.
