Sergeant Granitor appears as one of General Krang's underlings in issue 7. Granitor occurs in the IDW comics as one of the few named Rock Soldiers.
History
At one time, he and Tragg were subordinates of the tyrannical cyborg Traxus. But after Traxus was killed by Krang in single combat, they voluntarily submitted tohim. They were later (probably the very first of Krangs followers) to be given their characteristic stone skin by a preparation in Baxter Stockman's workshop making them Rock Soldiers.
Granitor commanded an assault on a Neutrino resistance bunker, to capture the Fugitoid and bring him back to Krang. Due to his command the Neutrino bunker was destroyed and many innocent Neutrinos killed along with Fugitoid's family. Later on he and several other Rock Soldiers was searching the demolished base for Fugitoid. Granitor realized that the Fugitoid was in fact Honeycutt and chased him trough a portal to Earth. However, the Fugitoid used his morphing abilities to shapeshift himself into human form and get lost in the crowd.[1]
Granitor also was present with Tragg and General Krang in Baxter Stockman's Stockgen when he scolded Old Hob for losing Splinter.
He was later involved in the battle between Krang's forces and the Foot Clan on Burnow Island, and was one of the few there who was not killed by the terraforming that took place. Along with Tragg, he survived for several weeks in a cave that temporarily contained breathable air, but were slowly dying as the atmosphere changed. When Leonardo and Raphael came to investigate the murder of an Utrom, the two Rock Soldiers held the Turtles at gunpoint and demanded their oxygen breathers. In their weakened state, they were defeated easily by the Turtles, and were then attacked by the mutant Leatherhead.
