I'm 46 and got the 86 Studio Series Kup for myself this Christmas. As I've gotten older my friends say I've become Kup. I stopped watching after the 86 movie so I was not aware of Kup's history. This retrospective is excellent. The parallels in my life to Kup are hilarious. I had military training when I was a teenager. I was promoted to Sergeant. Then went into Security in my 20's. Promoted to Supervisor very quickly due to my previous experience. I spent the next 20 years in almost every aspect of Security. I'm currently training to be a Combatives Instructor to train Security how to protect themselves and others. I've had many work injuries over the years, one serious enough to hospitalise me and needing ongoing physiotherapy to keep going. Yes, I have many stories too and being a fan of Lethal Weapon I quote Murtaugh alot. My friends were right. I became Kup lol. Till all are one.

I like the scene in the movie where Kup and Hot Rod are racing toward Autobot City to get in before the bridge closes and Kup says "those insecticons are in our way." Hot Rod immediately changes it around to "no, they're our way in!" Interesting how the elder experienced Kup saw a barrier, where the wild, inexperienced Hot Rod saw the situation in a different way, a way to use to enemy blocking them to achieve their desired goal. Rather than explain his idea to Kup, he merely speeds ahead to show him! Kup learned something new that day!!!
