Fictional biography
Gets his kicks from kicking! One blow from his automatic-powered foot can send an Autobot into orbit. Centuries of playing all-star mecha-soccer on Cybertron have made him the terror he is today. By taking a single-stomping step, he can create a mini-earthquake with a scaled reading of at least 7.0. His faithful partner; Gatoraider, uses his vise-like jaws to crush any unfortunate being caught in the aftershocks. Converts to powerful concussion cannon.

Wings Universe
During Jhiaxus’s invasion of Cybertron, Krok stood by at the ready as part of a joint team of Autobots and Decepticons, awaiting Obsidian’s signal for their time to fight back. Once the signal came, they teleported to Cybertron and started beating on some drones. In the heat of the battle, Krok blasted the Soundwave clone’s head off, much to the disappointment of Serpentor, who had wanted to question him. Thankfully, Eagle Eyes spotted Jhiaxus on the battlefield shortly thereafter, and Krok and his allies attempted to converge on the enemy’s coordinates, only to be blocked off by Jhiaxus’s clone army. Nacelle led Serpentor and Krok to an old sealed-off passage to circumvent the enemy forces. Though the tunnel turned out to be much too small for their use as it was, thanks to Gatoraider, it proved useful nonetheless. They managed to get in position directly behind Jhiaxus, and Krok took care of both of the Prowl drones acting as Jhiaxus’s bodyguards. He was shoved out of the way when Megaplex enacted his vengeance against Jhiaxus, killing the Cybertronian leader. He then helped restrain Megaplex. Krok was later present at the signing of the Pax Cybertronia.
