well he had a cape before the show but not in the show and the toy returned the cape which was probably as you said to set him aside from he-man. Good theory.

I think the cape is a cool accesorie but it isn't really needed, don't you think? He didn't use it in the toon so no need for it on the toy.

I suspect the toy line was based on model sketches they drew up for the cartoon (like Blackstar's cape appearing in promotional material for the series). Not all of the ideas they scribbled down got used in the tv series. For example Tongo the Leopard Man was probably based on character sketches the Blackstar creative team drew up for the Leopard Man who was meant to appear in "Air Whales of Ancar". Also Gargo is clearly based on the Vampire Man character who makes a small appearance in "The Zombie Master" episode as one of the zombies and not Isogul as shown in "Air Whales".
I'm just curious what the story behind some of the characters/things the Blackstar creative team came up with like: Meuton the Wasp Man, the White Knight, the three rare demons (red, yellow & green) and the Battle Wagon (if they were not created from scratch by Galoob)?

I mentioned in another thread that if you look at the body of the White Knight, it is actually a pretty accurate representation of the Ice-Soldier's from Lightning City in the Clouds and City of the Ancient Ones. Not sure what that means, exactly, though...

I insist that Krios is actually the white knight... Their body type is exactly the same and resembles to that of the ice soldiers.

Indeed - that's certainly an interesting idea for the White Knight, Blackstar76.

Then, if we connect it to your pre-sagar theory-fiction, we could say that he had something to do with the frozen wasteland that once was Tamboryon...

Well, I've always thought of Krios as being a 'force of nature' like Laluna - she's spring and rebirth, he's winter and death, literal representations of the mythical aspects of the cycles of nature... both as important and integral to the natural workings of Sagar as the other, until the Overlord seduced Krios with promises of a world perpetually covered in ice...

Very nice. So, originally, Krios was not an enemy to Atlas and the others...

And of course, the Edition Lugs has Kreos who is a weather god...

...and who later took the form we see in the cartoon, because he was a fallen god...? And perhaps became a deity (an evil one)?

Or maybe took the cloud form after the cartoon, after he was 'destroyed'...

Yes... But did he remain evil, waiting to strike again when the right time would come? Or was just forgotten by everyone?

I updated my posts on this thread.
I will do the same for the other important threads of the forum.
