It was hinted at the BotCon 2010 Q&A that Generations Kup might be in the making. A twitter update from Transformers insider s250 has nearly solidified the rumor.

rumor said green car being developed in generation series...Kup,is that you?

Move aside, you're going to get retconned by your owner

With this recent surge of 1987 Movie Transformers in Generations - Blurr, Scourge, Wreck-Gar, and Kup, perhaps more are in the making? Arcee, Springer, we mean you! With the recent splurge of Generations Reveals, we might be seeing our first photos of the rumored Kup in the near future.

Fast forward to about 11 seconds and you'll see how I feel about this. Don't worry I'm not killing myself in anger. This is the good kind of freakin' out. :lol:

I tried to put the video up here, put it wouldn't come up. Anyway, credit goes to baseball5675. Not the best quality, but the only good one I could find.

This is one of the best TF-related rumors I've heard in awhile. I just hope it's true. And I definitely wouldn't mind Arcee or Springer (though doing his Triple Changer-design might be harder in a Deluxe scale). Hopefully they keep making even more great TFs for this line. It's becoming one of my favorites.

Well if there making all the movie transformers for generations, where spike and daniel in the exo suit. Make some mini 1 and a half inch spike and daniel articulated mini figs that come in and out of transforming exo suits. come on, this is long over due. :grin:

It's looking like Generations is going to surpass Classics.

Thrust, Dirge, Red Alert, Drift/Blurr, Straxus, Grapple, Jazz, Tracks, Scourge, Perceptor, and Wreck-Gar!

AND they have made new figures or re-issued almost every character that made an appearance in the original movie including the characters I have just listed who were in the movie:

With Botcon Sharkticons, Bumblebee & Cliffjumper (wfc & Altenators), Unicron (Universe/2010 reissue), Soundwave (SDCC G1 reissue + wfc), insecticons, The Cassettes (Encore), Perceptor (Generations + reissue) and Blaster (SDCC reissue).

All but confirmed Kup and Thundercracker in the near future.
And remembering that the Dinobots are slated for reissue next year..... :APPLAUSE:

Which leaves from the movie:

Springer(an official one)?
Shockwave (surely due to his upcoming appearance in Transformers 3 he will get some kind of G1 homage
Arcee(long overdue)?
Blitzwing (come on - you've already done Astrotrain and Octane!)
Devastator (long overdue a decent G1 homage).
Galvatron (surely the next Transformers Masterpiece)

I suppose Hound, Wheelie and Sunstreaker were in there but they have all been well done in the Classics line.

PS I'm not saying that they HAVE to make figures or do a reissue for every character in the movie but with the 2010 thing going on and so few names left on the list I'm trying to be optimistic.

Some of the suggestions are (if history has taught us anything) unlikely - Arcee, Shockwave, Devastator.
But others like Masterpiece Galvatron have a good chance in my opinion.

God I hope they base him off the IDW design...come on Cygar for the win!!!!

THIS IS BULLSHIT AND BORDERING ON TORTURE!...STOP BUILDING NEW TOYS AND START SELLING THEM ON STORE SHELVES.

Agreed! That Kup would be SOOOO badass!

I concur. As much as I like Wave 1 of Generations, I'm getting tired of seeing them as shelfwarmers everywhere I go. I want to get my hands on Jazz, Tracks, and Perceptor asap.

O_o

Patience is the key, my fellow Transformer-lovin' brother... But yeah, the sooner they can get 'em in, the sooner my Classics shelf is overrun with them. :lol:

well this saves me the trouble of buying Botcon Kup hell I'll be buying most of theses new figures

News Credits: 402 · by **Mkall** » Sun Sep 26, 2010 11:02 am

Like all rumours, I'll believe it when I see it.

A true-to-form Kup would be cool though. Wings of Honor was decent, but they could do much better

Give it time....if they are doing Dirge and Thrust Thundercracker will come in time, just glad I finished my repaint before I had to see or hear about him.

Given that 2011 is the 25th anniversary of the Transformers movie, and given the number of movie and post-movie-inspired figures already confirmed to be coming out, I'm betting we're going to see a few more figures from that part of G1.

And while I'm hoping too see the likes of Springer and Arcee, I'm also hoping for a 25th anniversary DVD release of The Movie.

Or perhaps blu-ray?

Please make Kup a truck and not a car I beg !!!

Im sick of these "modern twists". They left Tracks and Jazz vechicle modes alone, Why do they have to make Kup a car, Blurr a Honda, Scoruge a flying wing, and Wreck Gar a WWII style ground vechicle ???

Just do what you did with Cyclonus and keep the original vechicle concept going strong. I cant stand these brainstorms and innovations coming from the creators of Power Core Combiners.

Just want to clarify this for you....Blurr is not a "Honda" he's more leaning towards the Nissan GTR and they want to give these characters an "earth" mode instead of them keeping a cybertronian mode....second Wreck-Gar isn't a ground vehicle....he's still a motorcycle the vehicle on the cove ris Perceptor which his vehicle form is based off of his IDW form

As long as it's on a disc in fancy, commemorative packaging, I don't care what format it's in.

Thirded. And it better rule like that holographic one where one side it's Optimus and the original cast then angle it a little and it would change to Rodimus and the new cast. I found a image that had that, and was tempted to make it my avatar. But right now, I have my sights on a specific one.......
