First up...it's kup. Well, not a mould that i think should be used or was expecting but well, it'll take some time to get used to.
Not sure what's next....

Use that head mould on a animated Prime (Cybertron mode) and I think you have a winner. That mould has been used too much.
HATRED FOR JAMES VAN DER BEEK RISING!

Odd that the elite guard stems from animated and yet they are going on about G1 characters. Shame about the theme, I must say I am disappointed... If it was animated Kup, I would be jumping all over the place

Anyone else feel this set has been influenced by "the Great War" clips shown at the beginning of Animated?
Love the fact that we are meant to be getting Kup, Skyquake and Thunderclash, but not overly impressed with Kup...
I love the Kup Character from G1, and Cybertron Red Alert is one of my favourite figures from the Cybertron line, but the two together just isn't all that enticing. The new head is great, but I'm not sold on the claw hand (two normal hands would have been best).
And he strikes me more as an Animated Sentinel Prime tribute than Kup...

Cool head, and the colours work, but as I mentioned in another post, I'm disappointed it's not Animated figures.

Nice prediction by Jay!

I totally dig that. The "young Kup" head is totally rad, but another mould may have suited better. Don't know what though. I'm kind of glad it's not animated, because that would have held very little interest for me indeed.

What the hell were they thinking? Were they thinking? So on Cybertron, years before Kup got his usual unearthly-looking-pickup-truck-from-which-he-canonically-got-his-name vehicle mode, he transformed into what looks like a down-to-Earth ambulance. Why exactly? Now it would make more sense for him to be called Lance. (Ambulance?) Awful mould choice and colours (and I actually like both that mould and Kup. A lot.) If this had been Animated Cybertron Prime it would be awesome. As it is, I wouldn't even spend $15 on it.
