Looks like it's just a shadow to me. I think there's a clearer picture on TFW. TBH, Kup looks great, even if the arms are a little out of proportion. Sometimes TFs have weird proportions. Hopefully he holds together well - that was where BB didn't work well. I don't think it's as good as Soundwave, though. That's gonna be the one to beat.

The cygar was cool, but it's really just that one version of Kup that one time. And, yeah, these are on toy shelves, so it'll never happen. I don't think it's any worse than TFs with beards or pouty lips.

Triple T Kup looks pretty neat, and I may get it. But KITT looks much cooler and will definitely be getitng that one!

Any word on when it goes live? I didn't hear them say anything about it for any of the reveals.

Time for the Sergeants duo to be reviewed!

The price of the set is a cheaper than Megatron but more expensive than Bee. For that money, you get two Joes, Leatherneck and Sgt Slaughter. The Triple-T is Kup this time around.

The colors works well for the bot.

The "vintage" Joes are great as usual.¸As for Kup, he's absolutely fantastic! The best so far from the line.
How? Lemme explain.

Compared to Megatron, Bumblebee, and even Soundwave, Kup feels like a REAL Transformers. He feels FULL and SOLID in hand. Not like ice cubes trays and tupperwares strung together like the rest.

There's also NO HOLLOWS whatsoever, appart a tiny one under his hands.

His backpack is also reasonable.

Kup is lacking wrists rotations, but he's fairly poseable.

At his back, a panel can be lowered to reveal a console.

Kup can carry his children to school on his back.

The vehicle is compact and solid.

Even from under, you'd have no clue this thing can transform.

With his crew and armaments, the Triple-T looks magnificent.
By the way, you can put the Joes foot-platforms in the hollow space in front of the vehicle's seat. The driver will have to lift his knees a bit if you do so.

The back of the vehicle (or the bot's) have storage spaces for the Joes weapons and accessories.

Overall, Kup is the very BEST Joe X TF set. Solid, no hollows, and an excellent value for the price. Yes, even at full price.

I got a Kup, and i also got an Action Man, so at long last, we have a properly scaled Kup and Action Man like IDW!

Kup is so good you guys. They finally have this concept down pat. He is so good. He has all the posing, his kibble is a lot less offensive, and they integrated him really well. I LOVE this toy

Kup is really solid. I like him almost as much as Soundwave, but Soundwave wins for me since I had the Thunder Machine as a kid and always loved it.

Both molds are incredible improvements over Bee and Megatron, and make me excited for the next ones.

I love both, they really did a good job with both of them. If this is what the line can be, I am excited to see more
