Hasbro.com has posted the bios for two highly anticipated upcoming figures. Check out the bios for GENERATIONS Autobot Sergeant Kup and Decepticon Scourge below!

TRANSFORMERS Generations Deluxe Class: SERGEANT KUP

http://www.hasbro.com/shop/details.cfm?guid=051A12C5-5056-900B-101F-A701F165E7AF&product_id=27839&src=endeca

Approx. Retail: $11.99
Ages: 5 YEARS & UP

Product Description:

SERGEANT KUP is the oldest soldier any of the AUTOBOTS know. Even before the war he was a career military ’bot, dedicated to defending CYBERTRON against all threats. His long service has supplied him with an endless array of war stories, which he never hesitates to share with his comrades no matter what else is going on.

Turn the tables on enemy forces when you throw this warrior into the fight! Your SARGEANT KUP figure is dedicated to destroying any opponent, and his exhaust pipe that becomes a laser musket will help you two get the job done. If the “hand-to-hand” robot action turns into a chase, convert your fighter into pickup vehicle mode and send him speeding off to rule the “streets”!










TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS Deluxe Class: SCOURGE

http://www.hasbro.com/shop/details.cfm?guid=04815C19-5056-900B-1003-2A99AB3EE4C7&product_id=27837&src=endeca

Approx. Retail: $11.99
Ages: 5 YEARS & UP

Product Description:
/!\WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small parts. Not For Children Under 3 Years.

Little is known about the origin of the immensely powerful hunter known as SCOURGE. He rarely speaks, and never reveals his secrets. Few who encounter him survive to tell the tale. More often, he descends on his target from the sky, lays waste to all who oppose him, and disappears back into the darkness of space.

Race into action with this fearsome SCOURGE figure! Press the button to reveal this figure’s robot allegiance and then prepare him for a battle. In robot mode, this fighter is as tough as they come — but with blasters that combine to form a battle rifle, he’s got power, too. When it’s time to chase down his enemies, convert him to recon jet vehicle mode so he can pursue them from the “air”!

Hm, interesting that the add the extra little paragraph in there. Dunno if they've had them on other reveal the shield figures or not but if they do then what's the point? Are they there to remind us that these are only toys?

Very nice figures and I like the bios for them, keeping them as true to G1 as they can. Also: "Energon Musket"? That's awesomely hilarious! XD

Hasbro does this for most of their toys. There's the onpackage bio and then there's the "sales" bio that is used in press releases, announcements, retail listings, etc. You'll see a lot of the sales bios on sites like BBTS, hasbroToyshop.com, ToysRUs.com, etc.

SCOUT class Scourge, eh Hasbro? First they mix up Rumble and Frenzy, now they can't get their size classes right

[Shadowstream]

Hasbro... PLEASE quit mixing up your RTS and Generations and get something strait!

I corrected both errors. Can't believe I didn't catch either of them. That's what I get for copying and pasting!

Thank you to both of you for pointing out the errors.

"Press the button to reveal Scourge's allegiance"? It's kinda hard to miss that big, fat Decepticon symbol on his torso/fuselage back. They really need to work on their descriptions.

Wow they look even better in these pictures. I'm definitely getting them both. Interesting how Kup's tailpipe transforms into the weapon.
