Description
Overview: A grouchy and serious yet experienced war veteran Velocitronian Throttlebot, who served as the mentor to young bots including Override and Rodimus to be a better racer and warrior. He also joined the Autobots as the representative to Velocitron. This old sergeant Autobot is not to be underestimated.

Details: Kup is one of most interesting character to appear from Transformers the Movie (1986) to show that he may be an old bot, but he is not out of shape and not giving up without the fight. He also served as a good mentor to young bots especially Rodimus. Other than that G1 Version, I also liked his Cyberverse Version, who is still the same grouchy yet hardcore old Autobot as the original. However, I didn't like his IDW Version for making him going crazy and nuts about zombie-bots. Honestly, that is very disrespectful, nasty and overkill too, even though I like how bad-ass he is when dealing with the Decepticons.

As for the design-wise, it's obvious that he is based on G1 Version, Cyberverse and even Animated Version. Didn't expect it, did you? Admittingly, it was quite challenging for me to design him especially the helmet, which frustrated me a lot. As for his pick-up truck is obviously not Cybertronian, since he joined the crew, his truck has to be old but classic from 1980s. So I chose FCA Jeep Comanche. And no, I did not forget his favorite cigarette to smoke or blow. That looks good on him.

Voice Actor: Robert Foxworth

Personality: He may be old, grouchy and grumpy old bot; Kup is still a tough and experienced warrior not to be mess with. Even when his joint and speed failed him, he relied on his resourceful and quick-thinking to get out of sticky situation. He also can be quite harsh and fierce drill sergeant for disciplining, training and shaping up the new recruits, but he is protective and does cared them very much especially Override and Rodimus, who almost drove him crazy. No matter who or what can do to him, Kup will never run or even back down from the fight since he actually slapped Grimlock and chastised him for ignoring the chain of commands. He is steadfast and loyal soldier the Autobots can count on as he will always be there for them. He is quite adventurous adventurer and storyteller, who enjoyed telling stories about his old days and history.
