Kup may not have received a hero moment in the movie, but he had plenty of badass moments. 1. Wrenching Blitzwing's cannon to hit Shrapnel knocking both cons off the mountain, saving Hotrod. 2. Using Kickback as a ramp extension and flattening his bug head in the process. 3. Going medieval on the Sharktacons with one of their dismembered flail tail's that he ripped off himself. 4. Grimlock looks up to him.
Honestly, the weaponizers are my favorite thing. I only have one, unfortunately, but I plan on getting tons more at some point. Bashing them together into things is just so fun, especially turning Earthrise Optimus into a Cybertronian, weaponized beast using Sixgun.
@Mr. Al a lot of that is thanks to corona them made the fourth wave a bunch of online exclusives earthrise was good it just happened to get released in 2020 as for kingdom Hasbro probably knows it's messing with some pretty sacred stuff so I wouldn't worry much
I maintain that Kup's kickass Blitzwing-redirect was definitely a hero moment for him. Also, low-key keeping the Dinobots occupied and not wandering around breaking shit was probably another subtle one.
I love Kup. Although him smooshing Kickback's head was up there on the childhood trauma scenes. Man, so many of my favorite dudes getting slaughtered in that flick.
This is what happens when I think of something clever to say, but insist on looking through the comments to see if someone else already said it.... I knew you had potential, lad~!
Zavvi has made me realize in the passed couple days alone that over half of my Transformers creators that I follow are from the UK. Also yeah, he looks like a little affordable masterpiece. I have him, Hot Rod, and Grimlock pre-ordered
There's Hotrod: The hero. Springer: The wing man. Ultra Magnus: The Big Guy Blur: The fast one The dinobots" The comic relief. Kupp: That guy And Arcee: The robot girl in a bikini that made your 9 year old self feel weird.
@@dustinarmstrong1168 HEY! I like Wheelie! He's perfect for taking my unchecked anger upon, throw him to walls, melt his legs with a magnifier on a sunny day... He's the source of my catharsis.
@@dustinarmstrong1168 meh wheelie never bothered me he did talk like a little robo dr seuss and his voice was higher then my voice going through puberty but eh i didnt mind him
Well, well, well. Look who I happened to run into. Now... *I pull out a switchblade.* Wallet fork over time or it's gonna be bleed to death on the filthy, cold sidewalk time instead. :P
Hey Thew! You know what's a fun thing to do with Kup there? Take out his limbs and replace them with weaponizer limbs. You can do all sorts of Frankenformer stuff.
Literally never thought of going to Zavvi for my transformers, and now I will. So... mission accomplished. Also this wasn't wierd, cause it was you opening a box from someone who sent you free stuff that you gushed over. And as another user said, a man's gotta eat. Though I suspect the old chair would disagree! Keep it real my favorite geek!
Personally, I'm looking forward to messing around with the 5mm ports Kup's limbs are on; people are gonna do some wild stuff with his interchangeability
Sixgun's legs would probably look pretty cool on him, like beefed-up combat jet boots. Still, the fact there's a tiny click when his limbs come off, or go on tells me they're more really small mushroom pegs rather than just ports, so it might not be as possible as we'd like.
I was perfectly fine with not getting this one and just staying with my trusty Sergeant Kup........until the feature of the arms and legs could come off and man I'm getting this first chance I get.
HOORAH! My man opens some boxes! Been a while! What are you talking about leaving us hangin'? You uploaded TWO videos in like a day! And, speaking of being in the UK, why is so much of Siege, Earthrise and Kingdom impossible to get over here?
Honestly a huge fan of the open and first impression vibe for reviews. If you happen to find yourself doing this kind of thing more I look forward to tuning in
I legit choked on my tea at the 'little creechur' reference and very nearly spat up on my computer from laughing so hard. THEW, TRANSFORMERS MEME KING!
Just started watching your channel. You rule bud. As a 43 year old transformer obsessive i fully appreciate your enthusiasm. Thanks for all the excellent vids.
6:29 That kinda sums up those pick up trucks wooden beds on them or flat beds on them? How are you gonna be able to carry anything with the bed removed? Your stuff is gonna fall out cuz no tailgate!
8:24 that’s actually a feature because when hotrod, kup, and the dinobots crashed on the planet the quintessions were on, kup was ripped apart by a cyber squid
Maybe it's because I had just listened to the movie soundtrack in the shower before watching this, but it was fun to hear bits of the music and continue scatting along.
Studio Series 86 is one of those lines that doesn't appeal much to me personally, but I'm still so happy to see it out there being what it is, doing what it's doing.
Oh, Thew! Keeping it real AND selling out?! Why, Mr Ambassador, with this double-whammy you are really spoiling us! Love it, lad - take the corporate dollar and laugh it all the way to the bank! So pleased you got in on this racket, it's the likes of you that make the fandom as much fun as it is, you deserve a bit of love... or monetisation, or whatever! P.S. "A little to the left..." lol
ngl, I'm not like a huge fan of Kup, or really anyone in this studio series line, but holy cow are they GORGEOUS. Like mini masterpieces. I suspect I'll end up buying like all of them.
It makes sense for them to do 86 movie SS releases next year as it marks the 35th anniversary of the original movie (though that came out near the tail end of 86 iirc). Very hyped for these figures , I want all of them!
That Kup is definitely looking good so far. Although the choice of backdrop is rather strange, like you said. I would have preferred a backdrop with Blitzwing and the Insecticons in it, referencing him saving Hotrod getting shot by Blitzwing in that scene.
Selling out to push a toy delivery service, that's acceptable because it's relevant. My boy needs to eat. If you start selling me Raycons or Raid Shadowhatever and we're done, Thew. We're finished.
You can also attached the energon goodie on the back side of the robot form, there’s a slot that fits the energon goodie in one of the holes. I’m not sure if its official or if intended it that way.
His name always threw me off, until someone flat out told me it's from "PicKUP truck" and I felt a little dumb before replying, "that's bullshit, he's barely a truck at all"
I think Kup is basically supposed to be the same concept as Rodimus Prime: A truck engine that goes under the trailer for aerodynamic reasons. He just lost his trailer or he doesn't have one because that's a Prime privilege.

Hold up one damn second. Kup is short for PICKUP?
I'm almost forty....
Wait it is! HOW HAVE I NEVER NOTICED THAT!!!
It's mentioned in the G1 Transformers Universe comics. I never would have thought of that either if I hadn't read it in 1987.
This make me feel even more bad for Kup.
Kup may not have received a hero moment in the movie, but he had plenty of badass moments.
1. Wrenching Blitzwing's cannon to hit Shrapnel knocking both cons off the mountain, saving Hotrod.
2. Using Kickback as a ramp extension and flattening his bug head in the process.
3. Going medieval on the Sharktacons with one of their dismembered flail tail's that he ripped off himself.
4. Grimlock looks up to him.
Well, he did rip the tail off that Sharkitcon and use it as a mace.
He also had some cool moments in the Marvel run, like swiping Bludgeon off his feet, slapping Apeface silly or suckerpunching Cyclonus .
Wasn't it Hot Rod who said the insecticons were their way in?
@@godmagnus Yep. It was.
He also invented polarities
8:28
“Imagine having your limbs as accessories”
Literally every Weaponizer: 😐
Honestly, the weaponizers are my favorite thing. I only have one, unfortunately, but I plan on getting tons more at some point. Bashing them together into things is just so fun, especially turning Earthrise Optimus into a Cybertronian, weaponized beast using Sixgun.
Sees this feature looks at my ironworks toy hmmm
If you think about it, any combiner has a whole transformer as a limb

@@theslayerofsimps8100 hehe, that's what I'm thinkin'
Kup, now with Lieutenant Dan mode
Shrimp boat sold separately
"Lieutenant Kup, you aint got no legs." "I know Hotrod."
Everyone can stop. Jacob won this video’s comment war
@@RedX_100 Is the shrimp boat a new alt for Nautica or Thunderblast? Either way, I'll take it.
@Brian Babin yes
I maintain that Kup's kickass Blitzwing-redirect was definitely a hero moment for him. Also, low-key keeping the Dinobots occupied and not wandering around breaking shit was probably another subtle one.
"The last one literally disintegrated."
Thew's old chair pulled a starscream XD
Or a transmetals 😉
That chair touched too much Underbase
Will anyone else attempt to fill his shoes?
@@BagOfMagicFood the chair was offlined by a cosmically powered starscream
Bulkhead lost his kibble!
Kup reminds me of my dad's generation. Stubborn,tough,quick on his feet to figure out a situation old-school style
I was literally today years old when I found out what Kup's name meant.
I found that out five months ago and I'm *still* shook.
Same
Dude, yes
i dont get it why call a Ute Kup...
well Kup is someone's grandpa fused together with his pickup truck.
He's the Truckmatic Grandpa
Similar to tfp cliffjumper being a fusion of the rock's character with his car
@@cheesewidget1701 wait is that from my old comment from Thew's Cliffjumper review, lol.
I love Kup. Although him smooshing Kickback's head was up there on the childhood trauma scenes. Man, so many of my favorite dudes getting slaughtered in that flick.
"The infamous pickup without a "pi"."
and without the "c" apparently
Wait is that actually why he's called Kup
Everything just comes out a little flat without 'pi'....
@@thecianinator I haven't found confirmation of it.
No. Kup's moment was when he deflected Blitzwing's blast to save the turbo revving young punk
He even has the "shoulders lower than they should be" thing going on!
My biggest hope with this studio series is that we'll now see these guys in masterpiece. 🙏🙏🙏
"Imagine your limbs as accessories"
*Laughs in combiner*
*Laughs in weaponizer*
*LAUGHS IN COMBINER LIMBS BEING DIFFERENT TOYS ALTOGETHER*
The excitement in Thew’s voice when a new figure has light piping
Finally
SS86: The Return of Light-Piping!
Kupp art need a baloon with "I CAN'T POOP!" written on it.
Ngl, the definitive Kup for me is definitely Titan's Return. He's just so C L E A N.
8:38 "Tis but a scratch"
B-but your limbs
It could be argued that the most remarkable thing most of us will ever accomplish is the act of being born.
woah
Mood.
5:37 "Strange extra shoulder bit" It's his rotator, you know, the one that had the nasty burr in it
This is what happens when I think of something clever to say, but insist on looking through the comments to see if someone else already said it....
I knew you had potential, lad~!
Now I want Thew to "cover" a random song from Transformers the Movie in every review he does.
Way to raise the bar dude!
“(Kup) did not get a hero moment”
But....but that scene with Blitzwing!
He *DAREd;* dared to BELIEVE he can survive....
Zavvi has made me realize in the passed couple days alone that over half of my Transformers creators that I follow are from the UK.
Also yeah, he looks like a little affordable masterpiece. I have him, Hot Rod, and Grimlock pre-ordered
There's Hotrod: The hero.
Springer: The wing man.
Ultra Magnus: The Big Guy
Blur: The fast one
The dinobots" The comic relief.
Kupp: That guy
And Arcee: The robot girl in a bikini that made your 9 year old self feel weird.
And Wheelie: the one who no one likes.

2:15 Kup being a victim of the hentai
More like 8:51
@@guppybunz Oh god
Whats hentai I dont fully understand you human "culture"
Oh no
Oh no he was ripped apart by tentacle sama
This was really good. You might not even need to do scripted reviews.
Well, well, well. Look who I happened to run into. Now... *I pull out a switchblade.* Wallet fork over time or it's gonna be bleed to death on the filthy, cold sidewalk time instead. :P
You shut your mouth. Thew's wordplay is 98% of the reason I'm here!
@@benvoliothefirst I doubt he'll stop
Hey Thew! You know what's a fun thing to do with Kup there? Take out his limbs and replace them with weaponizer limbs. You can do all sorts of Frankenformer stuff.
Oh NO, I’m gonna need ALL of these figures aren’t I?
Literally never thought of going to Zavvi for my transformers, and now I will. So... mission accomplished. Also this wasn't wierd, cause it was you opening a box from someone who sent you free stuff that you gushed over. And as another user said, a man's gotta eat. Though I suspect the old chair would disagree! Keep it real my favorite geek!
dang man, I was just gonna stick with my old generations Kup who I love, but this does look quite good
A ten figure charity giveaway where all of the figures are featured on a ten shots ten bots video would be a great video for the holidays!
Personally, I'm looking forward to messing around with the 5mm ports Kup's limbs are on; people are gonna do some wild stuff with his interchangeability
Sixgun's legs would probably look pretty cool on him, like beefed-up combat jet boots. Still, the fact there's a tiny click when his limbs come off, or go on tells me they're more really small mushroom pegs rather than just ports, so it might not be as possible as we'd like.
I picture him with cog legs now
Grimlock: Kup tell Grimlock war story.
Kup: You're living one now.
Finally someone that knows how to review the early access figures.
This review gave me LIFE.
This is the kind of energy I LOVE.
I swear to Rung, everyone loves “Escape”. I am no longer alone.
The joy and hearty laugh you had when you realized your figure has a dismemberment gimmick
Awesome review Thew!
I'm waiting for Haslab to make the robotic squid that scales with the figures. Something tells me it would be a huge seller
This is a cavalcade of absolutely choice Thew improv. That Dan Backslide impression had me *rolling*.
I like it how we all say the same things, when we get a new transformers toy "And this goes like that, oooh?" "And this does that" "Oh right, right"
I was perfectly fine with not getting this one and just staying with my trusty Sergeant Kup........until the feature of the arms and legs could come off and man I'm getting this first chance I get.
HOORAH! My man opens some boxes! Been a while! What are you talking about leaving us hangin'? You uploaded TWO videos in like a day!
And, speaking of being in the UK, why is so much of Siege, Earthrise and Kingdom impossible to get over here?
Yes but of you want them go to either Argos forbidden planet and Smith's toys super store
@@chmesechmao8659 I went to synths to order gigawatt
In France, we only find one step changer :(
Ikr I still can't find earthrise soundwave
I really like a lot about this toy, but Kup's face mold is likely to haunt my nightmares.
I have been sufficiently influenced now
9:39 Now part of me wants to yell that when I go to a Target to get an Earthrise Runabout.
Honestly a huge fan of the open and first impression vibe for reviews. If you happen to find yourself doing this kind of thing more I look forward to tuning in
Against all odds, Kup wound up being my favorite character in the 86 movie. Love your enthusiasm, as always.
I legit choked on my tea at the 'little creechur' reference and very nearly spat up on my computer from laughing so hard.
THEW, TRANSFORMERS MEME KING!
"I got digestives" that's one of the most euro things you've ever said and you've had some *doozies*
You're awesome, Thew! I love the way you speak, your inflection, your humor. Very high quality for a channel that reviews colorful plastic.
Wow, we basically just got a whole mini review and I am here for it!
Just started watching your channel. You rule bud. As a 43 year old transformer obsessive i fully appreciate your enthusiasm. Thanks for all the excellent vids.
Thew feels like everyone’s favorite uncle
I mean they literally gave us Optimus Prime's corpse a few months back so the amputation feature didn't surprise me at all
2 years late...except when he's 6 months early.
Whoa?! Cool! Generations Selects God Neptune! Review coming soon?...
-Also cool, Studio Series Kup from the 1986 movie. Awesome.
A casual (and tastefully sponsored) review, I like it!
I feel like Thew's grown into a love as kup as he realizes he's going to get older every day
I love Thew, but I'd gladly sacrifice him to the supermassive black hole for a Studio Series robot squid.
Love these vids Thew! Big fan of the laid back style and seeing all the interesting things you get
Nostalgia is real with this one. In the beginning I was wondering whenever was Kup in a Bay movie then remembered this movie exists.
His box shows his face when someone else is in the bathroom, and he ate Tacobell.
They couldn't homage the time he SAVES HOT ROD instead???
A first-rate review of an absolutely awesome Transformer!
1:59 Damn this series must really suck to collect for those completionists!
your non verbal language with your hands looks like homer's finger movements . i love it
HOLY SHIT STUDIO SERIES KUP
My favorite Kup head is the old third-party one with the IDW Cigar chomping. THAT’S MY KUP.
I am so influenced that I must now move to the UK and also buy things from Zavvi.
6:29 That kinda sums up those pick up trucks wooden beds on them or flat beds on them? How are you gonna be able to carry anything with the bed removed? Your stuff is gonna fall out cuz no tailgate!
8:24 that’s actually a feature because when hotrod, kup, and the dinobots crashed on the planet the quintessions were on, kup was ripped apart by a cyber squid
Maybe it's because I had just listened to the movie soundtrack in the shower before watching this, but it was fun to hear bits of the music and continue scatting along.
I'm not English, but I'm really glad y'all Finally have a secure source to get ye figures! Also shirt is too tier.
Studio Series 86 is one of those lines that doesn't appeal much to me personally, but I'm still so happy to see it out there being what it is, doing what it's doing.
Cup looks amazing, not bad for an old timer.
Congrats on the sponsorship
Kup's vehicle mode is a bit brilliant. Like, it's a future vehicle but at a glance you can also tell it's a an old man.
Oh, Thew! Keeping it real AND selling out?! Why, Mr Ambassador, with this double-whammy you are really spoiling us!
Love it, lad - take the corporate dollar and laugh it all the way to the bank! So pleased you got in on this racket, it's the likes of you that make the fandom as much fun as it is, you deserve a bit of love... or monetisation, or whatever!
P.S. "A little to the left..." lol
I was the shoutout! Never been so happy to have a fella read my friggin name!
Honestly I'd like more reviews in this casual laidback style
Now I wanna see like a Kup mega review
Wasn't super excited for an unboxing video, but okay...then it became a low-key review, and I was glad I clicked.
Kup was always my favorite movie character.
Dammit open!
ngl, I'm not like a huge fan of Kup, or really anyone in this studio series line, but holy cow are they GORGEOUS. Like mini masterpieces. I suspect I'll end up buying like all of them.
It makes sense for them to do 86 movie SS releases next year as it marks the 35th anniversary of the original movie (though that came out near the tail end of 86 iirc). Very hyped for these figures , I want all of them!
I personally think the whole 86 line could be worth picking up, Hot Rod, Kup and Scourge are definitely the highlights so far
That Kup is definitely looking good so far. Although the choice of backdrop is rather strange, like you said. I would have preferred a backdrop with Blitzwing and the Insecticons in it, referencing him saving Hotrod getting shot by Blitzwing in that scene.
4:02 Let's see how he stacks Kup.
Oh my Thew. You are really spoiling us with content lately. Glad to see it. Your puns and snappiness brighten peoples days
Never have I ever wanted a Kup figure....
UNTIL NOW!!!!
Selling out to push a toy delivery service, that's acceptable because it's relevant. My boy needs to eat.
If you start selling me Raycons or Raid Shadowhatever and we're done, Thew. We're finished.
If you do Raid I will glitter bomb your PO box. Because that's what friends DO
Hey, the Raycon earbuds are good. Raid I can understand, because the game is shit and the company that made it is shady as hell.
You can also attached the energon goodie on the back side of the robot form, there’s a slot that fits the energon goodie in one of the holes. I’m not sure if its official or if intended it that way.
4:49 Looks like you got rid of that nasty burr on his rotator.
His name always threw me off, until someone flat out told me it's from "PicKUP truck" and I felt a little dumb before replying, "that's bullshit, he's barely a truck at all"
I think Kup is basically supposed to be the same concept as Rodimus Prime: A truck engine that goes under the trailer for aerodynamic reasons. He just lost his trailer or he doesn't have one because that's a Prime privilege.
Is that a new chair? how exiting
I love how the entire video is just Kup
