Courtesy of HK-TF we have our first in-hand images of Transformers Prime Deluxe Sergeant Kup. The figure is seen side by side with Cyberverse Commander Ironhide. Speaking of Ironhide, we know that Takara Tomy will be releasing this Deluxe mold as Ironhide in their Arms Micron line (pictures of him surfaced earlier today, click here check them out).

I guess this doesnt look tooooo bad, but I am starting to get annoyed at all the Ironhides companies are producing with the massive Movie arm cannons (Yes, I know this is Kup)!

Lets leave them with the movie figures, not new G1 or Prime inspired versions please!

I'm glad they included shots of the Deluxe and the Scout side by side. In previous posts that showed pics of Kup, there were people who thought it was just a repaint of Scout Ironhide.

Really? I think Ironhide makes perfect sense with the giant canons. There are far more invasive things than a couple of canons for Ironhide that has become a plague to the franchise.

I don't see the problem. Isn't Ironhide a weapons specialist/warrior/bodyguard? Seems appropriate that he should have huge arm cannons. Maybe the G1 figure didn't have them, but so what? Things change and evolve. TFs would be pretty boring if they just kept making the same figures over and over.

Also, they're removable, so I don't see why they would annoy you.

This is so Ironhide. I want an Ironhide.

I know what ya mean about the giant cannons , they could have at least give kup some different weapons. Ironhide's the way to go for this mold he will replace my classics.

...is that a faceplate or just a big ol' chin?

He looks pretty cool. Though i wish he was a voyager. Same with ratchet, hes too small compared to bumblebee

This actually looks a lot better as Kup than I expected it to. I like the mis-transformation they did in the one shot toward the end. It's still a pass for me though.

I'm not feeling any interest in this figure. Are Ironhide or Kup in the show? I haven't finished season 2 yet.

You know, I'm getting a bit of a Rhinox vibe off this figure. Anyone else see it?

Technically noone has finished season 2. It starts up again Saturday, so time can only tell.

Hmmm..... I wonder if Generations Kup's head would fit on this?

pretty cool to me. I do have one complaint though.Was just at walmart and seen foc prime and jazz. When in the hell did hasbro jack the prices up to 15.47!!! Im sorry but im officially done collecting. I cant justify that much for a smaller size deluxe. It truly breaks my heart.

Oh, well, even better then.

Noice. Looks good. I'd prefer if they released the Ironhide version first, but I'll happily buy this one too. I just hope they get around to releasing Ironhide.

His hands are HUGE!

I wonder if you can put your spare iGear head on this and replace Generations Kup with this mold.

He's looking pretty tasty. The hollow legs are a little weak but that's a minor complaint. Please give us Ironhide, Hasbro.

Who else predicts a "swerve" repaint ?

Well, the set does come with two heads. So no matter what you do, you still have a few extra heads laying around. xD Might as well use 'em!
