Man I'm liking Perceptor a lot. He'd make a fantastic Trailbreaker with a new head and just repaint the lights on the roof silver and use them as the back-pack thingy. It'd be even more amazing if they remolded the treads into rear wheels - but I doubt that is likely.

OMG How can i Forget them Love Weck Gars bike mode any Wheeljack pics aswel

wow another win... i just saw pics of jazz too where he has fold out speakers! and wreckgar might prove to be the best tf cycle ever.

only disappointing figure aspect in this series so far is perceptor's alt mode (maybe he just needed a bigger scope!)

i agree that trailbreaker / hoist will be natural repaints

re the weapon, i reckon it's the designer's interpretation of what his "musket" should look like

3rd party target master designers are already hard at work!

Heh, no doubt. More things for our hard-earned cash to go to.

Wow, I couldn't be happier about the way Kup looks. I was wondering how they would do his alt mode and I really like this.

As someone else mentioned, a weapon like a sawed-off shotgun would look cool with this Kup.

WOW. TFG Kup looks amazing. So much good stuff hitting shelves in 2011. Kup is a must have. Can't wait to see what Hasbro does color-wise with this mold.

This is a great figure I wonder when he will be around here

by **Ravenous Nightwind** » Wed Oct 13, 2010 10:38 am

At first I wasn't sure what to think because we hadn't seen any pictures and I heard that he was supposed to have an earth mode and I just thought hmm..I wonder if it will look just as good. I was amazed when I seen the picture because even though its not a cybertronian mode, its still pretty accurate to what he was back then, plus retaining that original but new look feel is just totally awesome to me! I soooo want him now. x3

Kup looks better than I thought he would. Whoever is designing this wave should go on and give us their rendition of the Predacons, Stunticon's, Aerialbots, Protectobots, Technobots, Terrorcons, Combaticons, and the Decepticon Monster Pretenders. I have no doubt that their versions would be HOT!!! My wife will be angry at the dough that I will blow to get these but she'll get over it.

Wow. These all look amazing. They all look exactly like what I'd want to see. Jazz's speakers are an awesome surprise. Wreckgar couldn't be more perfect. Perceptor is spot-on in robot mode, aside from the strange pinkish-silver hue. Hopefully that's just these particular images. His alt mode isn't exactly optimal, but it works well enough. It could use a bit of the teal color though, to break up all that red.

I'm going to be so broke-ass.

For Lugnut, I love the mold but I will definitely be getting the Hasbro version. The black & yellow looks pretty ugly here.

This is defiantly a must have for me, ive always wanted Kup & it looks like im finally going to get one.

Jazz with fold out speakers almost gave me a heart attack! And that Wreck-Gar looks amazing. I, howver, am still not sold on Perceptor, especially his Alt. Mode, even though it does have precedence with his Animated incarnation.

The Kup mold seems to share some design elements with WFC Optimus.

by **REGIFISHY** » Wed Oct 13, 2010 2:24 pm

Hopefully this is just a proto-type,as I think the color scheme is seriously bland.

Oh my God, he looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo beautiful! He's even more gorgeous than I had anticipated!!!! I think he's the tie breaker for my new Top Ten of All My Transformers in the Classics category! :BOOM:

Way to go Hasbro! :APPLAUSE:

His um,accesory looks Like a cane?
(United Lugnut Doesnt look bad either)

It's a musket.

Perceptor's definitely getting Blurr's gun. And I think I'm gonna order a couple more FP Sidearms.

That Kup is looking fantastic! They have realyl done an amazing job pumping out the big guns form Season 3.

It was weird, I was thinking about what Transformers I played with the most as a kid and I'd have to go with Hotrod and Kup. I remember being so weak that I could never fold out Kups arms. Every 15 seconds I'd have to get my old man to do it for me. God they made an awful metallic squeaking sound when they would unfold. But god, did I ever love that teal son of a bitch!

Looks like the got damn near everything that a fan could want. Good head mould, accurate chest, legs, color. Even gave him a bad ass hunting rifle. Sure, it's not the stubby machine gun we as die hard fans are use to, but it suits the figure.

I personally don't think this is part of the United line, as the plastics and paints don't have a glossy finish to them but it's great to see none the less.

I guess we're really only missing a few of the big main guys from Seasons 1, 2, & 3. I guess it'd be too much to ask to start getting some of the big guns from Headmasters like Chromedome, Weirdwolf, Blanker or Fortress huh. :-B

The G1 Kup had a bland color scheme.

I like the design. I wonder if he'll appear small when placed next to the other deluxe figures. I would like to see more detail of the face before saying yeah or neah.

That will be my biggest beef with Tracks and Wheeljack. They are so damned short! Hopefully Kup is taller then the pictures let up to be.

He is so BOUGHT! No but's, not what-if's!

Admittedly, I'm not much of a fan of ol' Grumpybot, but the fig looks so accurate to the character, and the proportions are near-perfect--bulky and heavily built, but looks impressively articulated.

And that headsculpt...!
