Forum member Autobot032 has pointed us in the direction of an Amazon Japan listing for Transformers United Kup. Transformers United is better known as the "Generations" line outside of Japan.

This is our first look at the muchly anticipated Kup.

Just remember, there's still a few more upcoming figures from the TF:United/Generations line that we've yet to see yet, so keep checking back to Seibertron.com

That, right there, is freakishly awesome. I was a little disappointed that Generations wasn't going into other price points than deluxe, but man if it means getting updates like this, I'll take it.

Wow. I never thought that they could make Kup look this good. Paint and mold look awesome. Wondering about a Masterpiece Kup to go with Masterpiece Rodimuus...

Anyways. If this looks that good, I cant wait for Wheeljack

The Generations line has done it again!!!!!!

Fantastic, this is even better than we all hoped it would be - great job Hasbro & Takara Tomy :APPLAUSE:

I didn't know Transformers Generations were up for pre-order in Japan already - I just pre-ordered 7 figures.

2011 is going to be a great year for Transformers

In my haste to post, I left out one of the most important parts of this news tidbit.

I can't take credit for finding it, merely reposting it.

MrBlud is the one who pointed me in the direction of it, actually. He posted the link on another board and as soon as I saw it I wanted to share it with everyone.

He deserves the credit, not I.

Wow! Gerenations are even making Classics look like crap. Way to go Hastakomy. The only negative I see is the hands don't look like they'll be targetmaster compatable, and I love targetmasters. :-(

Kup is looking really good. The Generations line just keeps getting better and better.

I'll echo everyone else's sentiments. Outstanding!!! Kup is a personal favorite of mine, and this is a dead-ringer. It's moments like this that keep me in this hobby! Thanks Hasbro & Tak/Tomy!!!

Posted by Amelie on October 13th, 2010 @ 5:45am CDT

Prediction - repaint as either Trailblazer or Hoist.

Posted by Cheetron on October 13th, 2010 @ 5:58am CDT

Nice. Very nice.

But what is that thing he's holding? Rifle, gun, whappin' stick? Either way I bet it'll be made of rubber for the american kiddies, like Vector Prime's Rubber Sword.

Posted by munkimus prime on October 13th, 2010 @ 6:01am CDT

That is very nice.

I wonder what the hasbro versions colour scheme will look. My guess would be lighter green.

If Blurr is any indication, a remold of Orion Pax's head then I'll be a very happy boy hehehe.

This product is projected release date of February 26, 2011

That's one hell of a big riffle but i was hopping he would have come with a targetmaster...

Yes please, gimme that. I hope we get a better look at his gun though, that should be a bad ass big gun by the looks of it.

Muchly? wtf... :BANG_HEAD:

He looks awesome, I plan on getting him whether Generations or United.

Posted by Prime Evil on October 13th, 2010 @ 7:12am CDT

Whoa!! Kup looks amazing. Not only that, but Lugnut is United Lugnut is looking pretty good as well. I thought I was just gonna be doing US products, but IDK anymore. I'm definitely leaning more towards United Lugnut over US version, but no matter what, all these figures are mighty impressive!!

I'm loving what we have seen so far with ALL these figures Hasbro/Takara!

I think you are right my friend.

And I have to agree, I imagine the wheels can be folded elsewhere. I also think the shoulders can rotate up a little more. Anyone see his cigar? I doubt hasbro's can market it but I'd love to see a 3rd party organization make my dream come true. Lol

That's a good call

Everybody is hoping that Trailcutter in the Legends line isn't going to stop us getting a Deluxe Trailbreaker.

As far as other repaints go I think we'll see:

Grapple as Hot Spot
Jazz as Stepper

Not to get off-topic, but... there's going to be two versions of Lugnut?!

Oh God, that body with a new head and a "clip on" forcefield projector and I see Trailbreaker working rather decently.

Jazz as Stepper would be nice too, especially if they gave him a re-paint/remold of Cyclonus's Nightstick.

Yes and no.

He has more purple paint applications, one of which includes his head. So, he's got more purple where appropriate, but the entirely wrong color head.

Oh, the tormented decisions!

Sometimes I just do NOT understand the decision making processes at these two companies...

Im not gonna make some comment like Im drooling all over or pissing in my pants, but I will say that the figure looks great and I look foward to buying him !!!

I wish Blurr was more G1 accurate like Kup...

Look at the stock. It's neither cane nor sword. It's a big-ass space winchester! Kup will kick your ass old-west style.

So yeah. One word: wow.

Posted by Oilspill on October 13th, 2010 @ 8:04am CDT

Very nice looking Kup there. I may give the rifle (or Blurr's) to Perceptor though

He really is deluxe size right? Something about the arm panels over his hands reminds me of scouts... but I imagine the earlier listings we saw said deluxe?

Hmm, United Lugnut is looking good, I was just saying that the Hasbro one didn't have enough purple and had the wrong shade of green.

I see the stock on the gun now. That's a crappy gun though. Dude should really have come with his Targetmaster.

Awesome sauce! Anyone else think the mold would be good for a red Ironhide repaint?

It looks to me like it's definitely a Deluxe. There's no way that's a Scout. Plus, I think Hasbro stated that all of the Generations/United figures are going to be Deluxes.

This figure looks like a piece of shit. I am going to call it "Shit Piece".

It would've been nice to see his Targetmaster, but I think this fits his character well.
