The Energon Pub

Just as the title says. Since there isn't a Classics Kup yet who would you use to substitute in for him until we see a proper version of him in Universe?

So far I've been thinking Cybertron Breakdown but the colors really don't match. Any other ideas?

Kup would be great as an El Camino!

Oh I do want a new mold in the new Universe line but I'll have to settle for a substitute until then. Aside from Kup most of the 1986 movie cast can be represented now while not exactly as they appeared.

energon clocker. though given his design, he could also pass for a universe blurr repaint...

I always imagined him as an El Camino in the live action series, if ever they decided to use the 'ol timer.

I don't know - I think Brakedown GTS from the Cybertron series makes a very good Kup - he's an obvious homage to the character, right down to the same designs Kup had on his "stickers" back in the day.

I think the whole point of Classics is to give older G1 characters a more realistic and far more articulated figure. Kup deserves his own mold, not a retool of Hot Rod.

I'd like to see him as a Holden SS Crewman Ute:http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/action/colourtrim?modelid=23002
In his more green-turquoise colour though!
