History[]
Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark[]
Kranix was a scientist who examined the Dark Spark while various groups, such as the Disciples of the Thirteen and his own Patterners, debated its nature and ultimate fate. He was one of many such investigators to disappear mysteriously, only to resurface as the mind-controlled slaves of the turncoat Crystal Guardian Jhiaxus.
