The Energon Pub

Raymond T. sent a message to "lostkup" on MySpace.com to see if this was officially part of something by IDW or something by the people working on the spotlight issue. He didn't really get a straight answer. Here's what "Kup" had to say ...

Official?

I'm officially in hell, if that's what you wanna know.

The days here're fine; two suns gleaming in the sky, the hum an' thrum of the Crystals (you can hear them, can't you?) give my Spark more juice than I can ever remember havin'...

But at night-time, that's when it happens...

(You know what happens, don't you?)

It's night-time now.

I'll give you all the info you need. If Seibertron is your outpost, I suggest making as much noise as possible there. Send help. I can't endure many more nights like this.

Now go get some help. That official enough for you?

Check out Kup's MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/lostkup or check out more information about Nick Roche's upcoming Spotlight issue about Kup from IDW Publishing.

um... wow.

The preview and this is just... wow.

If they ever do a Spotlight on Skywarp, I hope it's this insane. Skywarp lends himself to that. But Kup?

...wow. :-\

Welcome to the site, $kywarp. We generally don't make posts about being the first poster in a thread though I appreciate your enthusiasm. I hope that you are enjoying the website. Have a great day!

WTF?

I'm afraid for Kup. How do we send help? Oh yeah.... Optimus Prime, do you read me? The decipticons are blitzing Kup. He's really taking a pounding (lol). Don't know how much longer he can hold out.

Do you think we got through to Prime?

That's hilarious (this gimmick I mean).

It's official.

Kup's gone senile.

I'm pretty sure it's official since Ryall is his #1 friend. Might even be Roche himself making updates. It's awesome that out of all the Transformers sites on the Net, he specifically mentioned Seibertron.

I hope he gets back into action soon. I'd love to see his addition to the mainline comics.

When I first saw crystals I instantly thought of the death crystals from the episode "chaos". But after looking round the page I don't know. Is Kup mad? Or is there something else behind the singing? Will his spark fail? Will they ever escape? tune in again to find out the answers. Same Kup time, same Kup channel!

Hmmm, so what do we do?

I'd reckon that Kup has lost it quite a bit, I mean he didn't even say "Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong" to that poor guy before he whacked his head off, now thats crazy!

I may be WAY off here, but the design in that image looks like the "leaked" design style to the new cartoon. I remember thinking that the designs looked cool and exaggerated ala the Cone Wars cartoon.

I'm at a loss here. What's this about?

The crystals are singing.... Is it a lullabye, or a requiem?

(I know, I know, I fail at being omnious.)

ooooook thats...confusing.

.......yyyyyyyeah

Looks to me like a kind of robotic survival horror story. Silent Hill or Resident Evil in space or something.

Kup is a lame character, as bad as Wheelie!

poor old guy... dementia is an illness we need to get rid of

Oh man, if he did that, Spotlight: Kup would be my all-time favorite IDW title, ever. Nothing could have beat that. Nothing.

Seconded, that would be suitably Badass for a crazier version of Kup.

I'm loving the darker angle on this story arc. Kup is badass man - a great character who needs this back story.
