Transformers: Titans Return Kup figure revealed

Eeeeuugh... those sure are his 1986 toy colors, all right (or at least heavily inspired by them).

Nice! Can't wait for Kup.

I like the vehicle mode, but the robot mode... meh... doesn't really get my engine roaring.

After his art was revealed just a few days ago courtesy of the Transformers Collectors Club, we finally get our full look at the Titans Return Kup figure! Check the screen caps from what is presumed to be the Transformers Collector's Club magazine below, from John Deluna!





It's unknown if these photos are of a slightly-unpainted prototype (hence the black faceplate) or not, but it is the first official look of the figure we've ever gotten.

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest and greatest transformers news!

ok?
needs repainting
(and his stoggy)

my guess?
Japan/Tak release gets the proper paint.

gggrrrrrrrrrr...

I checked every Ross (and Marshalls and TJ Maxx) store in my general area, some twice, and came up empty-handed on the Fort Max front. I'm not sure if I should stick to looking at the ones near Toys R Us stores, like they're getting TRU overstock, or if the ones near Targets and Walmarts are also viable. I'm not sure if they've already gotten their inventory and sold through it or it hasn't come in yet. I don't know if they even WILL get any if they haven't already. This is frustrating.


At least Kup looks pretty good. I'm not keen on his hands being visible in alt mode but they're not too visible.

so who else is left? Maybe a new arcee? Bit larger than the previous release which is very good but seeing she was originally a headmaster (in american continuity), it would make sense for her to have a new toy...

misfire and slugslinger would be obvious choices since they seem to be relatively easy to retool from existing TR moulds...

The other Targetmasters too; Crosshairs, Sureshot and Pointblank. Also Twin Twist considering we already have Topspin.

This Kup looks INCREDIBLE... at least, the mold does. The Vehicle Mode is a perfect update to make the old weird-looking thing good, and the robot mode is very well proportioned and has those freakin' incredible guns. And I'm sure people can put to rest the idea he's somehow a retool of Blurr. Though I'm sure there'll be some...

Though have some have said... yeaaaah, those colours are not nice. Much as one can criticise Takara for going too far with cartoon accuracy and some of their figures looking bad as a result, this is a case of Hasbro's toy accuracy doing the same thing. I get what they're going for, but it doesn't look nice. I'd be waiting for Takara not because I care about accuracy but because I want a decent-looking colour scheme.

... on a side note, anyone else think this would make an awesome Ironhide? Late-wave redecoes go!

The colors are probably like Blurr, and look somewhat better in-hand. Either way, I'll be getting this version, as I'm simply buying the TR deluxes by wave.

Nice update. I wonder if an "Orion Pax" can be applicable here?

I don't know. I'm not feeling this guy. I've been the Titans Return Champion too. I've loved every figure they put out. This one just seems weird looking. I don't know if it's the head not being green/blue or the shoulders totally not looking like Kup at all. I'll have to wait to see it in person or more pictures. The alt mode seems really short. Hopefully it'll look better when we see more pictures. As it is, I'll probably buy it because it's Kup and it's Titans Return.
