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?

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.

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:
