Generation Sergeant Kup

Generation - Who could forget Sergeant Kup who always tell about his war stories to the Dinobots. In the G1 1986 movie; Sergeant or Sarge Kup were a companion of the surviving Autobot from the Decepticon attack. He, Hot Rod and a few Autobots managed to escape the attack while watching their great leader and commander, Optimus Prime died while handing the matrix. It was a great movie when I was a kid and the most memorable one. Anyway, Kup original G1 toy were not that interesting looking. Why he is in a bright green color when he was an army personnel that serves in the war? His enemy could say "There! Shoot that bright green guy!". He was a futuristic looking truck back then but with this new figure; he looks more rugged with a looks of a 4WD truck.

Bio

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.

Vehicle Mode

I really love his vehicle mode. A rugged all terrain truck rather than the futuristic 80's truck design. What I really love about this vehicle is the sniper rifle can be attach on top of the truck and make it look like a military vehicle. His vehicle design looks a bit of a Toyota Hilux and Ford Rangers hybrid.

Alternate Mode

Sergeant Kup has an interesting head sculpt and I really hate it. Why? His mouth was open the entire whole time. No wonder there were a 3rd party head sculpt for Kup that were so much better than this. Anyway, I love the transformation process. Not too hard and not too easy either. I love the sniper rifle that came with this figure and he had a great articulation. The only problem was the plate on his both hand. It limit the movement by a little bit. But all in all, he is a great figure. If you can find the 3rd party head; then I would suggest you buy it.
