I got around the issues of the arm panels by turning them around 180 degrees, then turning the wrists around 90 degrees so the panels are now on the back of his lower arms and finally folding the tires up all the way against his upper arms.
I actually don't have any problem with his face. He's supposed to be an old war-torn soldier and I think it conveys that well. He also has lots of really cool gun poses.
Great review on old Sgt.Kup and i would so put a G.I. Joe in his flatbed with the gun mounted on his top so i could blast some Cobra troops lol. I think the deal with his face is that he is supposed to be a "weather worn" solider and is also one of the older Autobots too like Ironhide i would imagine so his look makes sense at lest to me.
To me, he looks more like an El Comino , the old Car/Truck hybrid of the 70's. hes a pretty cool figure though .. and I am glad they made him! saves me from having to try to make a custom (i was gonna use a Armada hoist head with an Animated Cybertron Optimus body.) but hey this is cool! :D great review as always.
After seeing the SS86 Kup, I'll take this Kup anyway. This one looks old and ugly but grizzled. SS86 looks sad and emaciated like he was just diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer.
He is Generations not Reveal the Shield. I realy like this figure yes his face is scary and I will also be getting the Igear Kup head. When are you going to review Lugnut
I can appreciate your opinion. I think that this is a good figure. I won't be mean over his face. That is all relative. I personally think because he was redone he does deserve some slack. So I am going to get this figure. Great review though lol
Loved Kup from the 1986 animated movie, especially his no nonsense attitude
Hot Rod: "Not bad for an old-timer!"
Kup: "'Old-timer'? That's something you'll never be if you don't get back to the city."

Ha! Was going to right the same thing as soon as I heard him talk about his face than I saw your comment. Spot on.
It's a reminder of how he's seen things... things so horrible that no Transformer should ever see them.
To me this is a masterpiece of art design
Thank you very much!! This was super helpful!!
hey balt as a collector of transformers, would you say that a true fan would need to have a kup in their collection?
I’m not really an true fan of transformers but RTS Preceptor and Scourge G2 Laser prime and more
But I wanted those figures
This figure is DOPE

Wow, you sounded about as crockety and agravated as Kup does by the end of this video. Very fitting somehow.
I think he was doing his best impression of Kup
His vehicle mode looks like a Holden Comador from Australia.
Zombie-looks-Kup
