Every time I see Prime Wars toys I often ask myself "were they even trying?" so many of them look so cheap compared to what we're getting with WFC and SS86.
I have picked up the TR Headmasters that Walmart reissued. They're... okay. Have to remember they were $5 cheaper then (same price now though!) and it shows. More hollow with less articulation.
Prime wars is actually what got me back into transformers collecting and the power of the primes dreadwind is honestly still one of my favourite figures XD
Aight' sunny (Hotrod). Lemme tell you of ther times back in cybertrons early days when we had to travel the Sea of Rust, past Iacon and all the way to Macaddam's and back for a condom. And it was cold too.
@8:22 A giant Robotic Squid hurt him good, it cost him an Arm and a Leg!! (literally) 🤪 So I think his “depressed” face is based on that scene from the ‘86 film. (where Hod Rod had to “Fix” him)
Kup is the friend you call when you need help moving your Cybertronian couch 🤓 It’s crazy to think that I fit my own twenty years of service and two deployments in between the 86 movie and now. I can relate with Kup even more now, bad joints and all.
I think they're trying to update his G1 face in this..I still can't get over with that "I wanna hold him and tell him everything's gonna be ok" part.. 😆😆😆
While I do not understand the ending skit reference like everyone else, I absolutely enjoyed the hell out of this one for sure. 😂Emgo you will always be the best TF figure reviewer. 😂This definitely is up there with your skit when Bay Optimus warns G1 Optimus of what is to come in the future. 😂😂😂😂
Just got Kup today and I'm wondering about the correct way to turn the upper shoulders. Let me explain. The darker colored "sleeves" are higher on the outside of his arm, but if you turn it 180 and then bring it down, it looks more natural. The dark hinge lines up and blends in better this way, but no videos or pictures show it turned like this. I know it's my toy and I can do what I want, I'm just wondering if they were meant to be this way to begin with and someone got confused at Hasbro.
Just bought him. He's my second favourite character in G1 and figure in my opinion looks great. Is there any place to store gun and energon goodies in robot mode?
Emgo the gun can be store in the leg like on Arcee geberations just lift the tabe a bit and the ebergon cube thingy can be peg into the slot on the back of the figure. Stores nicely. 😁
hey emgo, i found a neat spot to store his energon goodies while in robot mode, theres a gap between the wheels in his chest you can slide it in there, its not official but it works, it takes a little fenessing to get the neck shelf to tab into his shoulders but it works
Thanks! forgot how to do the arms! Since your vids have helped me from time to time, giving you a shout out in my Oniheizou vid! Thanks, Emgo316! I got palmed in my face!
Just curious... Either in the comics or animation, did Kup ever come to Earth? Might explain why his, frankly bizarre, Cybertronian 'Car/Pickup Truck' mode never had an Earthly vehicle-mode equivalent.
Of course, Kup's gun is not Bloosh-compatible. It's as old as he is, from a time before Blooshing.
The Land Before Bloosh
Thank goodness. Bloosh can be annoying
Lol
@Kristopher Prime salute
"Back in my day, our weapons didn't need your fancy _bloosh compatibility_ kid."
The ending skit has to be my all time favorite skit now! LOL 😂
aint that from ine of key&peel's skits?
@Bagus Adije yes it is.
@@emgo316 a man of culture u see
Kup is awsome
'Tis but a scratch.
Emgo: who hurt you?!
Also Emgo: rips Kup limb from limb
before I did that lol
Who ripped kup
Emgo
Why
Who hurt him? I was that robot squid thing.
Always fear an old man in a profession where men die young
Is that from pratchett?
You're laughing. He wants you to fix him, and you're laughing.
I know the gag scene at the end is just that one Key & Peele sketch but DAMMIT it’s still funny!
yeah, one of my favorites
Also reminded me of Pete Holmes Batman video where he’s killing people in front of the penguin for some reason.
Emgo subscribe to me
I actually thought he was gonna pull the Ol "tis but a scratch" joke but nah.
Removable limbs should make it really easy for someone to release an upgrade that gives him posable hands
That is very true!
I just think of Kup as a wise cracking grizzled veteran. He was smiling through the pain of his years. This face is just sad.

I actually think POTP Rodimus looks pretty cool.

"Of all the second glitch diode-blowin' dim-wittery. You left a piece out!!"
Is it me or is Hasbro doing an amazing job with the backpacks or lack there of, with the War for Cybertron Trilogy and the 86 movie Studio Series
My Parents: Son, why are you laughing so uncontrollably loud in the middle of the night?!
Me: 15:25 *WHEEEZE*
I always referred to Kup as a Cybertronian El Camino.
So... we can expect an Orion Pax repaint/remold from this, right Hasbro?
I would rather have a Firestar retool from it.
Orion would be great, and I want it.
just announced Orin Pax and Alphah Trion set :)
Well this aged really well
Kup’s face looks like that because he’s seen some things in his time
@8:22 A giant Robotic Squid hurt him good, it cost him an Arm and a Leg!! (literally) 🤪 So I think his “depressed” face is based on that scene from the ‘86 film. (where Hod Rod had to “Fix” him)
This is literally the best Kup we are ever gonna get I really need to start getting studio series 86 figs!
Kup: Ba weep granna weep ninny bong.
Ba weep granna weep ninny bong

His face makes me think of Jeff Dunham's Walter dummy
Ending skit... my all time favorite that you've done
I think they're trying to update his G1 face in this..I still can't get over with that "I wanna hold him and tell him everything's gonna be ok" part.. 😆😆😆
The absolute best skit you’ve ever done 🤣 I’d watch a whole series with old man Kup
This poor old guy.. you get to a certain age and you’re just not bloosh-compatible anymore
I like how Emgo’s reviews have a lot of personality. I appreciate that.
The ending is a master class in lighting and composition.
"Tis a flesh wound!"
The best skit so far give us more longer ones please.
When his arm fell off I think you took care of a nasty burr in his rotator.
The figure itself, I love it, yes the face is odd, but the rest is great.
That shoulder plate that comes outwards, that's a pain.
That alicon, sooo funny, can't wait to get those treats. Twice. The skit epic man!
The Alicon bits had me laughing 🤣
While I do not understand the ending skit reference like everyone else, I absolutely enjoyed the hell out of this one for sure. 😂Emgo you will always be the best TF figure reviewer. 😂This definitely is up there with your skit when Bay Optimus warns G1 Optimus of what is to come in the future. 😂😂😂😂
Oh God, the box art looks so unhappy! Like I can't hold it together everytime I see it!
Props for doing the whole sketch at the end!

Never thought they’d do g1 but I’m not disappointed
See, nothing shows how good the toy is like the main gimmick being breaking apart.
Very few toys actually pulls it off, you know.
Wonder if the igear head would look better on him
Sheesh I never realized how small Kup actually is
Just bought him. He's my second favourite character in G1 and figure in my opinion looks great. Is there any place to store gun and energon goodies in robot mode?
"Tis but a scratch"
Yeah, I thought he was going to do the entire black knight skit too.
Thats what I was thinking lmfao
4:22 Earthrise Cliffjumper flashback
I love how his script is the same every time. I almost have it memorized
I liked the review just for Mascot’s opening quip.
I loved it for everything else.
Seems like a great g1 kup to me. Though for me, it'd be nice to have a newer look for kup but I could say that for all the g1 characters.
Emgo the gun can be store in the leg like on Arcee geberations just lift the tabe a bit and the ebergon cube thingy can be peg into the slot on the back of the figure. Stores nicely. 😁
When was Kup ever happy, he reminds me of a grumpy old man/robot. No worries Hot Rod has enough energy for the both of them 😂
He looks like a depressed William Dafo
The weird part for me, how you can have both a backpack and visible hollow back in the same figure?
AHEM! Ba weep granna weep ninny bong!
"Stay away lad thats Primes fight!"
I like your doing different camera angles with your Skits
hes a sad old man wishing for his death
HE HAS A BIO!!
But but... this is the "fix me" or "and with it, all hope" face 🤣😂🤣😂 that's why his face is sad.
Great review
One of my first thoughts was actually "Yeah, but does he have removable limbs?" I was quite surprised not to be disappointed.
Kup: Bah weep gragnah weep nini bong
I picked him up yesterday and he's awesome
Kup is short for PicKup.... Speaking of short, there was this one time about a million years ago on Gamma 7........
11:07 well that’s why Kup looks sad
lol... the skits keep getting better and better!
Never realized how much Titans Returns Kup looks like toothpaste
I guess you can say our "Kup" runneth over? I'll be here all week.
KUP's alt mode remind me of tesla cybertruck😂
I wonder why has those weird seamlines on the sides of his legs/truck sides
This might be the darkest emgo skit yet and i like it
Best skit of 2021 so far
I love Kup he is my favourite wrecker in my collection. I love posing him for photos
His arms and legs are technically bloosh compatible. They can all bloosh off in seperate directions.
That skit at the end was GOLD!
hey emgo, i found a neat spot to store his energon goodies while in robot mode, theres a gap between the wheels in his chest you can slide it in there, its not official but it works, it takes a little fenessing to get the neck shelf to tab into his shoulders but it works
I still love his Titans Return figure, but that can be repurposed as my IDW Kup and this will be my G1 Kup.
Love the sharkticon when you took the energon dispenser
I’ve watching emgo since I was 11 and I’m 17 this year. One of my favorite youtubers.
Thanks! forgot how to do the arms! Since your vids have helped me from time to time, giving you a shout out in my Oniheizou vid! Thanks, Emgo316! I got palmed in my face!
(KUP): "Back in my day, we had VHS [Visible Hand Syndrome], and we liked it, you young wi-fi whippersnappers!"
Can we just get a compilation of all the skits please? I love them so much.
That Key & Peele sketch at the end....100%
"Boxing Kup" comes to mind with those removable limbs such as they are.
That rotating display platform at the end of the video, what brand name is it, and where did you buy it?
So if you had to pick the best head for Kup. Which head would you choose?
Best use of an adapted Key and Peele sketch since... Key and Peele!
Thank you :)
Best ending skit by far. You have to put up I'm more.
Love this version of kup
nice review emgo ive been a long time subscriber and i love ur content
thank you very much :)
His face is “I wanted to have pizza for dinner but it expired and it’s too late for delivery”
Just curious...
Either in the comics or animation, did Kup ever come to Earth?
Might explain why his, frankly bizarre, Cybertronian 'Car/Pickup Truck' mode never had an Earthly vehicle-mode equivalent.
Best skit yet!
How can you _not_ like that face! It's perfect! It captures his intense dislike for _turbo revvin' young punks_ !
Great review and best ending skit ever!!
Best emgo intro ever!
Great figure as always with studio series... Unfortunately with my copy he's missing his left ankle tilt pin :/
Can you see if the I gear upgrade head for generations kup fit the studio kup
Definitely top tier skit right there!
That skit at the end. Oh my god epic.
Kids who never heard about g1 and see kup on toy shelves:
“I’ve never seen anything like this before”
well, he was in cyberverse
I'm only 13 and I think g1 is the best transformers seiries
Experience, lad. You should learn to appreciate it.
1:30 - Kup is an Cyberteonian El Comino
Ya know...he’s not too far off from the Tesla truck. But he’s not that close either.
This figure looks great thank you emgo
That was brilliant. I love key and peele
Me too :)
