ok now you've got me invested in this crossover of yours and i'm curious, what does karr look like?? i'm wondering if you could make some sketches of him like you did with am, if you don't mind!!! i'm not very familiar with knight rider since this is the first time i've heard of it
Well, in terms of how he looks in the series, this is my favorite scrungo bungo that will hold a bitch hostage, I'm linking a video since he looks and sounds better in motion a la KITT vs KARR (s3ep6):
(he shows up around 31 seconds in, don't mind the title, the official youtube has a lot of weird ideas about how to describe their clips. There is no brainwashing.)
youtube
As for how KARR looks in the AU, I'm still working on that since I do have sketches in progress for him, but I would rather post the concepts for KARR when they are finished and colored.
#NBeast answers peps#KITT vs KARR is such a great episode#but to be fair KARR pops up in Trust Doesn't Rust first#if you want to learn more/see more of him

having just made it to KITT vs KARR i stand by my point that KARR has done nothing wrong ever in his life
#liz blogs#karr#kr#knight rider#BRO WAS DEALT SUUUUUCH A DIRTY HAND IN LIFE. GOD. HE CANNOT CATCH A BREAK#maybe if people were nice to him and everyone wasnt always using/abandoning him for no reason he wouldn't be mean :(#listen if i was a robot and i was programmed poorly/Evil and then blamed for it shut down and left to rot in a warehouse#I WOULD BE PISSED OFF TOO !!!! UNFAIR. MEAN TO HIM. RUDE. Y'ALL ARE ASSHOLES !!!!!!!!!!!#and then you get woken up and try to Leave and everyones calling you evil for it. like. bruh he has consistently been the victim of bullshi#leave him aloooooooone hes scared :(#karr haters do not interact. he is misunderstood#like yeah maybe he almost did a little homicide and a fuckton of theft but. i could fix him#i think if he had One (1) friend he would be normal. one guy on his side that isn't trying to do crimes#rip this is the 1980s my man is NOT getting understanding and a redemption arc but he DESERVES one#WE *CAN* STEVEN UNlVERSE OUR WAY OUT OF THIS ONE GUYS. TRUST ME#also love that he drove off a cliff and EXPLODED in his first ep and now hes just. there. under the sand. in one piece. for some reason#built like the iron giant he literally pulled himself together but could not pull himself outta the sand#making a get-along shirt the size of a two car garage and shoving kitt and karr both into it. be nice. make up. right now

K.R.O. (is an acronym for Knight Robot One) is one of next generation of car of tomorrow day. KRO's body appears as a highly modified Nautical Blue and Diamond Black 2021 Shelby Cobra GT500KR Super Snake. KRO's designer and creator is Kenneth Franklin. KRO's prime driver is Martin Marcus, field agent of Eques Industries.

History
KRO is conceived and designed by Kenneth Franklin when he working for Knight Industries. Car is supposed to be a new and refined version of KITT and KARR, complete with additional features and an alloy composed of a nano-polymeric compound which surpassed original Molecular Bonded Shell in resilience and stability.
KRO's main cybernetic processor was based upon schematics of KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand, Knight Industries Three Thousand) and KARR (Knight Automated Roving Robot, Knight Auto-Cybernetic Roving Robotic-Exoskeleton) and constructed by Garth Knight, his company Eques Industries. KRO is programmed with a male personality and bound to protect human life. Although he will kill a human unless ordered to. However, Kenneth say better use for "him" in Foundation's crime-fighting crusade and eventually system was installed in vehicle. KRO was in fact second vehicle built by Knight Industries with an artificial intelligence. His was K.R.O. (Knight Reformulation One). KRO was programmed for self-preservation, but this proved to be dangerous to the Foundation's interests. KRO was later deactivated and placed in storage while KRO was given to his new operator Martin Marcus.
Unlike KRO, KRO is programmed primarily to protect Martin and all human life at all costs. This is made clear when Martin asks James Marland if KRO will protect anyone driving it. James's answer is that KRO's primary function is protect of human life, and Martin's in particular.
KRO's Chassis was ultimately destroyed in a two vs one Battle with KRO (Knight Reformulation One). Although his Neural Processor Unit is saved by Martin Marcus, Garth Knight, KITT (Knight Industries Twelve Thousand) and KARR (Knight Agent Road Robot).
In 2023 Garth Knight and Kenneth Franklin found and rebuilt KRO in Satellite Surveillance Center, so they takes them, put them back together and combined features from KITT (Knight Industries Twelve Thousand) and KARR (Knight Agent Road Robot) with new ones aswell into one car Knight 12000 and together Martin with help of KRO they seek out to make a difference in world once more.
KRO's Features:
KRO is loaded with special features, most of which can be activated by buttons on panels to either side of steering wheel or on a console on ceiling of interior.
Some of KRO's features include following:
Computer AI - "brain" of KRO is Knight 12000 Neural Microprocessor, center of a "self-aware" cybernetic logic module that allowing KRO to think, learn, communicate and interact with Martin and others humans.
KRO is fully aware of himself.
KRO is a highly ultra-advanced quantum neural-net supercomputer on wheels. KRO's reaction time is 1/10 nanosecond, and his memory capacity is over unlimited quettabytes, also KRO's microprocessor can operate with 800 trillion operations with access time in 1 nanosecond.
KRO was programmed to obey all orders given to him by his human designer and creator, so long as humans didn't violate his prime doctrine - directive of protect human life (especially Martin's) to best of his abilities.
System can drive car better than any a human operator can be.
He can provide music, video and video games via an in-dash entertainment system, which is two 17-inch 1920x1080 IPS Full HD Super AMOLED TFT LED-LCD video display monitors and windscreen projection.
Armor - KRO has a layer of woven Teflon armor along his interior cabin while beneath his nanoskin is a tungsten-carbide and cobalt-chromium steel support lattice which maintains his structural integrity. Molecular Bonded Shell - Molecular Bonded Shell casing encases his cabin compartment to protect his driver from harm. Nanotech Skin Repair - His nanoskin which overlays his armor and molecular shell are just as fast and versatile as KITT's and KARR's, able to repair damage quickly as well as alter his appearance, changing his paint job at will if he so chooses. His nanoskin is not equipped for absolute stealth, though he does have a stealth mode. This stealth mode is essentially a matte black angular version of his attack mode which allows him to drop from radar like any stealth vehicle.
Molecular Bonded Shell - KRO is armored with "Tri-Helical Plasteel 2000 MBS", or Molecular Bonded Shell plating which protects him from almost all forms of conventional firearms and explosive devices. They can only be harmed by heavy artillery and rockets, and even then, blast usually leaves most of car's shell intact and only damages internal components. Shell protects every part of car including tires. As a result, KRO could act as a shield for explosives by driving over bombs and suppressing blast. He can literally drive over Anti-tank mines to neutralise them.
Shell also protects against fire and electricity; however, it is vulnerable to some potent acids and at least one formula was made to completely neutralize shell. Long exposure to seawater can weaken shell.
Shell provides a frame tolerance of 550,000 lb (275 tons) and a front and rear axle suspension load of 200,000 lb (100 tons).
Shell is actually a combination of three secret substances referred together as "Knight Compound". It was developed by Wilton Knight who entrusted parts of formula to three separate people. Each individual knows only two pieces of formula, ensuring that any two of them could make more of Knight Compound in an emergency situation and that no one person would be able to make it. Garth Knight and Kenneth Franklin upgraded MBS to be even more powerful by 300%, making KRO most indestructible Knight Industries vehicle ever.
Pyroclastic Lamination - KRO is protected by a thermal-resistant coating that can withstand sustained temperatures over 4980 degrees Celsius.
Power System - KRO is powered by highly modified turbine ramjet engine with highly modified afterburners and a computer-controlled 10-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with autopilot. Sound of KRO's turbine ramjet engine is rough and fierce. Specifications: 800 PS and 800 N⋅m, 0 to 62 mph in 0.286 seconds, ¼ mile in 4.286 seconds. Electromagnetic hyper-vacuum water-cooled carbon-ceramic disc brakes: 9 ft., 9 ft. braking distance (70 to 0, 300 to 0 mph).
Rocket Fire Boost - KRO has an internal self-charging rocket fire boost system. System consisted of a series of rear mounted undercarriage rocket motors which allowing car to accelerate to speeds in excess of 500 mph. Rockets can fire both forwards and backwards as needed.
System has one secondary use:
It can be using to provide power for pushing or pulling heavy objects when necessary.
Turbo Boost - KRO has an internal self-charging turbo boost system. System consisted of a series of rear mounted undercarriage rocket motors which allowing car to accelerate to speeds in excess of 500 mph. Rockets can fire both forwards and backwards as needed.
System has one secondary use:
It can be using to provide power for pushing or pulling heavy objects when necessary.
Turbo Boost - An internal self-charging power injector system that allows for large, but long amounts of power to allow KRO to jump over obstacles and to move forward, up, left, right, or reverse at high speed for long distances. This ability along with directional exhaust outlets allows KRO to jump from a standstill or at high speed and this ability with ion boosters and mini thrusters allows KRO do a Ski Mode.
Rocket Fire Motor - KRO also come with an internal self-charging rocket fire booster for providing a long burst of speed. It is concealed behind rear number plate, which flipped upwards and retracted into body of car.
Voice Synthesizer - KRO's Voice synthesizer allows KRO as well as other similar vehicles logic modules to speak and communicate. Other sounds, such as a police raid to fool criminals or a wild animal's growl, can also be simulated. Voice Synthesizer "speaks" through Voice Orb Modulator in interior of vehicle. KRO's primary spoken language is English, however by accessing his language module, he can speak fluently in German, Spanish and French. Module can also be adjusted to give KRO different accents.
Electronic Jamming System - KRO has an Electronic Jamming System which consists of three main components: Electromagnetic Field Generator, Electronic Field Disrupter and Microwave Ignition Sensor. System can take control of electronic machines, allowing such diverse activites as cheating at slot machines, breaking electronic locks, scrambling security cameras, and withdrawing money from ATMs. System is using most frequently to disable engine and activate brakes on a fleeing vehicle. Sometimes, KRO using system to magnetize and manipulate non-electronic objects such as a mechanical combination lock, and to create "poltergeist" activity, moving random objects to frighten people.
Anamorphic Equalizer - Equalizer device is a fiber-optic array of electronic "eyes". Scanner can see in all visual wavelengths as well as X-Ray and infrared. When KRO's surveillance mode was active, bar will light up and make an ominous swooping sound as it panned left and right. Occasionally, bar pulsed in different patterns and swept either rapidly or slowly. It is possible to disable KRO's electronics by penetrating equalizer with a laser making this one of his few vulnerabilities.
Etymotic Equalizer - This system allowed KRO to hear sounds. An array of audio sensors were threaded throughout his interior and exterior.
Aroma Monitor - KRO can "smell" via a much more complex atmospheric sample device mounted in his front bumper.
Microscanners - Microscanners are tiny audio and visual sensors embedded into grooves of KRO's body. They allow for visual tracking and display of anything around car.
Cruise Modes - These are KRO's three drive modes:
Normal - On "Normal", Martin had control of car. In an emergency, KRO can still take over and activate Auto Cruise mode. In order to prevent this, Martin has to use Manual Override.
Auto - In "Auto", KRO has an "Alpha Circuit" as part of his main control system, which allows CPU to drive himself utilizing a highly advanced Auto Collision Avoidance system.
Pursuit - "Pursuit" is used during high-speed driving and is a combination of manual and computer assisted operation. KRO can respond to road conditions faster than Martin's reflexes can; however, Martin is technically in control of vehicle and KRO helped guide certain maneuvers.
Silent Mode - KRO can run silently. Feature dampened his engine noise and allows him to sneak around.
Computer Override - KRO has a hidden switch and setting dial under dash that either completely shuts down his AI module or deactivates certain systems should need arise.
Manual Override - KRO has a function which can be activated in order to completely lock AI from all vehicle controls. Unlike Computer Override, Manual Override simply keeps KRO from activating Auto Cruise or preventing anyone inside car from doing something that would probably hurt them. KRO's AI is still able to protest such actions vocally.
Adaptive camouflage - KRO is equipped with a sophisticated cloaking device. Tiny cameras project what they see onto a light-emitting polymer skin on opposite side, rendering car effectively invisbile to naked eye.
Police Lights/Siren - KRO has police lights, and he has a siren in Police mode.
Grappling Hook and Winch - KRO has a hidden winch and grappling hook system, one mounted under his front bumper, and another in a compartment behind his tail light plate. Most often hook is connected by a strong cable, but a metal arm has also been seen.
Parachute - KRO is equipping with a parachute.
Oil Jets/Smokescreen - KRO can spray an oil slick and a plume of smoke from under rear bumper.
Machine guns - KRO has twin M134 Miniguns, concealed behind each of its retractable headlamps.
Flamethrower - KRO have flamethrowers mounted under his rear bumper.
Tear Gas Launcher - KRO can dispense a cloud of tear gas along with his smokescreen.
Rocket Fire - KRO can to fire a small rocket out of his tailpipe or retractable foglamps, also can launch magnesium flares which can also be used to divert heat-seeking missiles fired at him.
Anti Missile Flares - Deploying from rear bumper of KRO. Disk-like objects that when dispensed produce an intense heat source to deter heat-seeking projectiles.
High Traction Drop Downs - When activated, HTDD system hydraulically raises KRO's chassis for better traction when driving off-road.
Traction Spikes - When activated KRO's tires will have spikes coming out in order for KRO to drive up steep off-road hills.
Telephone Comlink - Martin can contact home base and communicate with others people using KRO's two 17-inch 1920x1080 IPS Full HD TFT LED-LCD video display monitors and windscreen projection.
Surveillance Mode - Surveillance Mode do several things:
Surveillance Mode with extended range up to 50 miles
ANPR (Automated Number Plate Recognition)
Speed radar front and rear
X-ray/infrared spectrum vision, Geiger counter, UV meter, camera, sound recorder
Lockpicking, computer cracking and information altering/removal
Scrambling electronic devices or vehicles
City Safety-like auto braking
Also, stuff like:
KRO can detect people and vehicles and track their movements and discern proximity.
KRO can gather structural schematics of buildings, vehicles, or other devices and help Martin avoid potential danger when he was snooping.
KRO can also monitor radio transmissions and telephone communications within a location and trace those calls.
KRO can tap into computer systems to monitor, download, alter, remove or upload information as long as he can break access codes.
Infrared Tracking Scope - KRO can monitor position of specific vehicles, including cars or helicopters in the area within 100 miles. For instance, if Martin wanted to know location of every cars or helicopters within 70 miles, KRO can display a schematic on his monitors of all vehicles, including police vehicles relative to his position and KRO can monitor position of very specific vehicles, including police cars or police helicopters in said or given area within 20 miles.
Laser Powerpack - KRO can fire a high powered ultra-frequency modulated laser capable of burning through steel plating. Like most of KRO's components, schematics for laser device are top-secret classified.
Bomb Sniffer - KRO has a bomb sniffer module that can detect explosives within 5 miles (8.0 km) of vehicle or by using a satellite connection uplink.
Bio Matrix Scanner - KRO have a medical scanner that includes an electrocardiograph (ECG). Medical scanner can monitor vital signs of individuals and display them It could indicate such conditions as if they were murdered, injured, poisoned, undergoing stress or other emotional behavior. KRO can even monitor Martin's physical activity through sensors inside driver seat. KRO can identify a humans by fingerprints, voice analysis, retina scan, or by face recognition. It used to detect health status of persons in immediate area and scanning vital stats of anyone in his passenger cabin, including heart-rate, breathing, temperature and brain-wave activity.
Reinforced chassis- KRO's chassis has been reinforced to withstand impact damage from firearms or sledgehammers. Front and rear windscreen are both bullet-proof with ultra-tough glass.
Caltrops dispenser - Dozens of spiked caltrops can be scattered in path of pursuing vehicles, shredding their tyres. Dispenser is located behind rear bumper of KRO.
Re-inflating tyres - KRO is capable of re-inflated tyres: KRO can deflate and reinflate his tyres, also tyres can self-sealing even after being hit by bullets.
Fuel Processor - KRO was powered by a highly modified turbine ramjet engine primarily fueled by liquid cryogenic rocket fuel. However, his complex fuel processor allows him to run on any combustible liquid, even liquid nitrogen gas, liquefied natural gas and liquid petroleum gas. KRO's actual fuel requirements and efficiency ratings were top secret classified, however official rating of KRO's fuel economy was 100 miles per gallon, but KRO mentioned fuel economy is 525 miles per gallon. It is means that KRO can measured his fuel economy for any combustible liquid, even liquid nitrogen gas, liquefied natural gas and liquid petroleum gas. However, when operating on fuels other than liquid cryogenic rocket fuel, KRO's fuel efficiency and power output may be lowered.
Electrochromic Windows - KRO's windows can change tint on motion: from transparent to opaque for various situations.
Voice Stress Analyzer - KRO can process spoken voices and determine if someone may be lying.
Auto Doors, Hood, and Trunklid - KRO can automatically open and close his doors and Trunklid. He can also lock his doors to prevent unauthorized entry into his driver compartment. He can also open his hood automatically.
Rotating License Plate - KRO can rotate his "KNIGHT" license plate to reveal a fictitious one reading "SPYCAR". Martin uses this to evade police when an APB was placed on him.
Seat Ejection System - KRO have two front ejection seats, mostly used when Martin needed a boost to fire escapes or building roof tops.
Passive Laser Restraint System - Restraint system helping protect Martin and any passengers from shock of sudden impacts and hard stopping, it is a primitive form of an inertial damping device.
Video Display Monitor - KRO has two 16-inch 1920x1080 IPS Full HD Super AMOLED TFT LED-LCD instrument cluster display monitors and two 17-inch 1920x1080 IPS Full HD Super AMOLED TFT LED-LCD video display monitors on his dashboard for various readouts. They are controlled by two systems, Graphic Translator (which sketches likenesses from verbal input) and Anamorphic Equalizer (which gathered visual information from KRO's front scan bar) and microscanners.
Windscreen Projection - Basically, entire front windscreen is configured to display extra information and aswell as display video communication link with other people.
Computer Printer - KRO can print incoming documents and incoming faxes, hard copies of data and faxed messages on a dashboard-mounted printer. It also doubled as a color printer/fax machine.
Radio Scanner - Mounted in two 17-inch 1920x1080 IPS Full HD Super AMOLED TFT LED-LCD video display monitors, radio scanner was capable of eavesdropping on civilian, police and military radio frequencies.
Revolving number plates - KRO is come with rotating number plates, some of which included: "SPYCAR" or "KNIGHT" (US), "BMT 216A" or "BMT 214A" (UK), "4711-EA-62" (France) and "LU 6789" (Switzerland). Martin uses this to evade police when an APB was placed on him.
Miscellaneous Items - Along with his nanoskin and automatic tire repair systems, KRO can forcibly jettison any passenger within his interior as well as any objects in his trunk if it necessary for Martin.
Holographic projections - KRO can project holograms of himself, as seen when he and Martin are being chased by a cop. These clones have different actions seemingly based on his personality or actions and will dissipate on command or when hit by someone with force.
Molecularly Transformation - KRO has ability to split into Molecules to change appearance.
Vehicle transformations - KRO has unique ability to change between multiple vehicle forms while prime is Nautical Blue and Diamond Black 2021 Shelby Cobra GT500KR Super Snake. Forms he takes do not affect size or weight when in robot form and they share same color.
Chemical Analyzer - KRO has a retractable tray with anelectron scanner that can analyze chemical properties of various materials. It can even scan fingerprints and read ballistic information off bullets and compare these with a police database. Aside from scanning tray, system can also analyze chemical information gathered from KRO's exterior sensors. KRO has an anelectron scanner that can analyze chemical properties of various materials. It can even scan fingerprints and read ballistic information off bullets and compare these with a police database. Aside from scanning tray, system can also analyze chemical information gathered from KRO's exterior sensors.
Fire Extinguisher - KRO can put out small fires from a CO2 sprayer in his bumpers and retractable headlamps.
Interior Oxygenator - KRO can release oxygen into his driver compartment and provide air to drivers and passengers if he was ever submariged in water or buried in earth. This is also used to overcome effects of certain drugs and alcohol.
Two-Wheel Ski Drive - Ski Mode setting allowed KRO to "ski" (driving up on two wheels).
Third Stage Aquatic Synthesizer - With this system, KRO can hydroplane, effectively "driving" on water, using his wheels and turbo system for propulsion.
Amphibious Mode - KRO can float and maneuver on water like a speedboat. Transforming components include wheel arches that turn into closed arches and one propeller which emerge from lower rear of vehicle.
Submarine mode - KRO has ability to transform into a two-man submarine. Transforming components include wheel arches that turn into fins and four propellers which emerge from lower rear of vehicle.
Torpedoes - In submarine mode, car can fire small, highly explosive guided torpedoes from a launcher located in car's radiator grille. Two torpedoes can be fired at a time, with a total of 30 torpedoes storing on-board.
Remote torpedoes - While submarine, KRO is equipped with with two remote-controlled torpedo launchers on either side of car and are concealed behind side vents. A total of 15 missiles are equipped.
Sub Zero - KRO can release cryogenic gases and "flash freeze" driver compartment.
Sleep Gas - KRO can spray a gas into driver compartment that can render an unwanted occupant unconscious.
Interior Tear Gas Dispenser - Using for anti-theft and defensive purposes. KRO can fill car's cabin with tear gas to incapacitate a will-be thief.
Vacuum - KRO can expend all breathable air from driver compartment, KRO using this to rid compartment of smoke after bombs were detonated in his trunk.
Attack Mode - Three silver hood scoops that look like they should be on an aircraft appear near windscreen on hood of KRO. His Cobra form appears sleeker, and a spoiler rises up on back of his form.
Convertible Roof - By pressing "C" button on KRO's dash, Martin can bring top down and KRO become a convertible.
Gatling Guns - 2 gatling-style guns that are retracted from hood. KRO deploys a single machine gun while in regular mode. KRO's gatling guns have an approximate rate of fire of 1,143 rounds per second.
Offensive Missiles - 4 tube launched missiles that are retracted from front bumper and either door.
Other equipment:
Comlink - KRO is in constant contact with Martin via a two-way communication wristwatch (a modified 2010's Xiaomi touchscreen watch ) Martin wore. Watch also had a micro camera and scanner that KRO can access to gather information.
Homing Device - In dire emergency, Martin can activate a secret homing beacon hidden inside Martin's head. Beacon sends a priority signal that can remotely activate KRO and override his programming so that he rushes to Martin's aid.
Gadgets:
Virtual Reality Heads-up Display
Rather than dash-mounted two 17-inch 1920x1080 IPS Full HD Super AMOLED TFT LED-LCD video display monitors and windscreen projection, KRO uses a virtual reality heads-up display (VR-HUD) that makes use of entire windscreen as video monitor.

Knight Writers
Alright I’m a little more sure about what I’m doing. Somewhat... Sort of... Oh let's face it, I never know what I’m doing. However! I am the woman with a plan! Right now that plan is that there is a discord group!
Knight Rider Fanfiction is what a lot of us survived on when we ran out of episodes to watch. Some of us might still be watching KITT Vs. KARR five bajillion times but we won’t judge Maji’s comfort show now will we? :)
We Knight Riders, we’re a small group but we’re a tenacious group. We hang in there. We find each other and we form life long friendships. We also have some of the most creative writers out there. So I’m putting this out there again. Come join us and support each other and your fellow writer!
We all need a little support sometimes and there’s nothing better than lifting someone up to help them create something.
https://discord.gg/sAS9gJnu
You know you wanna come join the craziness :D

Land of Confusion
Chapter 20: Back In Black
Garthe and KARR embark on an unstoppable rampage through the city.
– Garthe –
I laid on KARR's horn, drowning out the peal of approaching sirens and keeping his yoke steady with my other hand. The police cars ground to a halt, rear tires kicking out on the slick road in a spray of water and smoke, completely blocking the avenue.
I took my hand off the horn just long enough to press Turbo Boost. In an exhilarating instant, the strobing lights vanished under KARR's prow as we sailed over the barricade, airborne and weightless.
KARR was muttering something about the insufferable racket of his horn when we crashed back down to earth, but my ears were ringing too loudly for me to pay him much heed. I honked again, because I could, because we were wild and unfettered and free, and I wanted the whole world to know it.

A few knight rider fics got me thinking about what KARR might enjoy if we had ever gotten a chance to see him in a state other than "argh Michael Knight, arrgh KITT!"
Given he's still pretty inexperienced regarding the world around him, I could see KARR just exploring. Scanning things. Maybe he makes a game out of identifying certain things that are in his databanks out in the field. Bird watching perhaps could be something he does, or just general wildlife identification.
He definitely people watches, partially for entertainment, partially to get better at emulating human behaviors. He pays attention to speech patterns, what people say to each other and takes note of their bio readings. The best part about it all is that since he's housed in the body of a car, no one notices him watching their conversations and taking notes.
I've seen it brought up before in fics, and it does have basis in how KARR acts in the series; where in the show he tended to hack electronics to get what he wanted, making his own code is not a far step away from that. He probably dabbles in learning and using coding languages, along with generally messing with any unsupervised electronics that are laying around.
As for his music tastes, its difficult to discern; where he could have absolutely picked pop music as a favorite from going off of the music he plays in KITT vs KARR for John, that also could have been whatever was on the radio while he was laying low. He may enjoy making his own when he's left alone by using his synthesizers, but I doubt his tastes are the same as KITT- whom enjoys classical.
#KARR#shadowy flight#idk I just sort of got thinking about this after realizing we have no fucking clue what he likes outside of revenge

けっこう前の話になるが、ナイトライダーのKARR回を見た。DVDで。シーズン3の6話は動画のように"K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R."というタイトルじゃが、日本版では 「悪魔のナイト2000カールまたまた出現!復讐の空中大勝負!!」というファンタスティックなかんじになっておった。ええなぁ~。
DVDなので前の週に放送されたと思しきハロウィン回もついでに見たが、あれよりKARRの方がホラーだった。いくら万能ハイテクスーパーカー(AT車)でも、自分で自分を修理できたりはしない。壊れたところを直したり、KITT用に作られた装備を奪いに行ったりするのに人間の手を借りなきゃいけない。そこで言葉巧みに人間の弱みにつけ込んで、操るってのがねぇ〜!まさに「悪魔のナイト2000」ですよ!コワ〜!!
他の自動車怪異と違って、KARRは喋るからね!しかもダース・ベイダーみたいな口調で。KITTはC-3POみたいな口調だけど…って初めてそんなことを考えたわ!こいつは立派な悪意の宿った殺人自動車として認定しても良いですね!マイケルとKITTに対して明確な殺意を持っているからな〜。
ナイトライダーの新しい映画、楽しみですね!悪意が宿った殺人自動車ホラー愛好家としては、KARRが出てきてくれると嬉しい。あいつの怖さと悪意はガチなので、人間を操って存分に暴れまくっているところをぜひ見たいんじゃ〜!

I don't have that many hot takes, many of my opinions on the show fall in line with a lot of people in this fandom.
That said, I do have a few that might qualify as hot takes:
Knight Rider 2008 would have benefited immensely by not having KITT transform into a rolling ford commercial (or transform at all for that matter). I get that it had to do heavily with sponsors, Ford gave them the car for KITT so they had to use Fords for every damn thing he turned into; but if the car really was going for the stealthy chameleon type role with that gimmick, it feels weird and frankly obnoxious for it to stick to one brand.
2. KITT should have gotten more speaking roles in KITT vs KARR. It says right in the title that it should be focused on those two, but for some reason he never says a thing to KARR throughout the whole episode, and instead feels very detached from the whole ordeal aside from being shocked that he got resurrected, and what may be seen as irritation that Michael used him essentially as an indestructible missile against KARR at the end. I would have loved to see more direct confrontation between these two AIs instead of it being more Michael's thing with him. If they got that, it would have been as good as Trust Doesn't Rust.
That said I do like KARR's development in KITT vs KARR into just pure revenge just for all the stuff that comes of it, even if it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to his programming.
3. I find everything about Garthe incredibly funny. The cane gun, the fact his dad replaced him with a cop with plastic surgery to look like him, the fact he got three consecutive life sentences in Africa- not a specific country in Africa, the whole thing. Also everything surrounding Goliath. The man is a comedy and he's not in on the joke.
Let’s do something fun.
To the 5 people in the KR fandom here, repost and give me your Knight Rider hot-takes!
I’ll go first. Here’s a couple of mine.
1. Maybe not a hot take but The Scent Of Roses was the perfect finale, and should have been the season and series ending.
2. KITT’s character fell flat at many points in s4. It was disappointing to me honestly.
3. I’m still 50/50 on KARR even after like 100+ watch throughs of this show- I sympathize with him but then I also see him how FLAG sees him.
4. I absolutely love the dynamic between Bonnie and Michael and how it evolves from him hitting on her, to realizing she’s not going to fall for his crap, to practically siblings.
5. Again this one probably isn’t a hot take, but I do believe after Knight Of The Juggernaut, RC3 was severely underused, and practically all of his potential was lost.
6. I enjoy watching KITTNAP
7. TDR > KVK minus KARR’s look, because if we are going for looks, it’s KVK > TDR
8. Some of the best episodes are when Michael’s past are brought into it.
9. I would have loved to see more references to Michael’s past, specifically the Vietnam part.
10. I wanted so badly to have more backstory to both KITT and KARR, Devon, Bonnie, and RC3.
Can’t wait to see what you all have to offer!

So I was thinking about that amazing meta study of Karr by @knightoperationsredux and I love every word and can't add anything - but I've always wondered why Michael is so obsessed with destroying Karr when he reappears. Like from the minute Kitt 'triangulates the source' and they see Karr is back, Michael is pissed. Kitt basically turns into a glorified taxi, he's barely part of the episode, but even before anyone knows just how twisted Karr has become, Michael is out for his destruction. What is he so scared of? That line about Karr not leaving evidence or witnesses - what? He drove Tony and the Rev on a crime spree around town and didn't care who saw them. I know it's part of the plot and I love eeeeevil Karr, but Michael's reaction is in-ter-est-ing.
