Done?
Good we may continue.
Now as you know the set comes with a comic, a comic written by Simon Furman and illustrated by Boo, fan of Transformers Animated will know him for his work on the Arrival. Well if you look at the cover you will see the new Classics Rodimus repaint standing prominently in the foreground of the cover, illustrated here:
Upon further inspection you will notice that the Sweeps and Cyclonus are also on the cover, in their Universe 2008/Generations bodies, illustrated here:
Now after we have noticed those we will see that the largest space of the cover is taken up by Kup, who is not in his original G1 body but a new one, illustrated here:
That is his Generations design, not convinced?

but what other secrets lay inside hehehe
You can see his post by clicking here and here for a journal on the comic itself.
But that leaves another question, Unicron is he on the cover because he's in the story and fits the cover or did Boo put him there as a hint at something coming our way, might Hasbro be bringing over the TakaraTomy 2010 remold/repaint of Unicron to it's markets? Only time will tell!

Man I hope a Generations Kup is coming soon as for me he is my most wanted (besides Springer.. Warbot is holding me down for him)..
I can't wait to see pix eventually so I can drool on my keyboard.

Then he could not be called "Kup"..
Kup = Pic KUP" truck..
He will be some sort of truck I am betting.

In all honesty, part of me is hoping that it isn't release in the US because I plunked down the cash for the Tak/Tomy one and will be kicking myself if it shows up in every B&M store around for 50 bucks cheaper. Sorry...I know that I'm being selfish.
As for Kup...I really hope we get a modernized version that is still a Cybertronian truck, just with proper articulation. I could even accept something like a Chevy SSR. Come to think of it, that could look similar to Jazz's front end, as someone else pointed out earlier. Hmmm....

Some Quintessons would be an amazing and unexpected surprise but I think that the ship is related to the whole Wreck-Gar, Hot Rod, Kup, Dinobots et al when they escaped in it.

To go slightly off topic, but (The) Boo is actually a girl
Perhaps a few corrections are in order?

I think that would make a lot of people happy as well. I hope Generations Kup is a brand new mold, not a retool of a previous figure. Show me pictures of Generations Kup and Wheeljack Hasbro, and my wallet is yours..

I hope we get to see a good look at kup soon. x3 He was one of my definite favs. The design for the sweeps looks interesting..though I'm used to the original look it may grow on me. I like the design of the drawing as well, this should be interesting. x3
cheers, i tried to draw the sweeps like a flock of seagulls
