Kup (G1)

2007-08-15T03:44:52Z

:''Kup is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:Kupg1.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Four of him, and you've got a [[quartex]].]]

'''Kup''' is a tough old coot. He's almost as old as rust, in fact, and he was plinking Decepticons with acid bursts from his trusty musket laser long before most of you turbo-revvin' young punks were born. In his day, lasers didn't ''need'' to use light; they did whatever they were told to do. And liked it.

He's probably had a thousand adventures, has Kup, and he'll be glad to relate a story of any one of them at any time to a willing audience. The [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] love Kup's war stories, and don't seem to mind when he inadvertently leaves a piece out or changes the story between retellings. Old memory chips'll do that to you. Other Autobots can be less patient, and Kup finds this disrespectful and irritating. If there's one thing Kup dislikes it's when young punks don't respect their elders. If they'd only listen they might learn something. [[Hot Rod]] is one of the worst offenders in this way, but he's a good ladbot and Kup will straighten him out sooner or later, even if it takes a tank of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticons]].

Occasionally, Kup's vast experience gets in his way. When a situation doesn't remind him of anything, he has trouble figuring out what to do. This doesn't happen very often.

Though it is not yet established when Kup joined the Earth-bound [[Autobot]]s, he was stationed at [[Autobot City]] during the 2005 invasion by the Decepticons. He was supervising construction efforts undertaken by Huffer and other workers when this work was interrupted by an impetuous drive-through by [[Hot Rod]]. Kup was determined to straighten out the adventure-seeking youth.

After the Decepticons began their attack, Kup and Hot Rod were trapped outside of Autobot City's fortress-like defenses. Thanks to an attempted hull breach by the Insecticons, Kup and Hot Rod entered a small gap in one of Autobot City's heavy blast doors -- in the process, Kup crunched [[Kickback (G1)|Kickback]]'s skull by running over it.

Inside the city, Kup and Hot Rod joined [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] and [[Springer]] in rigging an explosives launcher into place to help defend against the might of Devastator. With the arrival of [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] the next day, the tide of battle was turned and the Decepticons were defeated -- but at a terrible price.

Following the events of the movie, Kup served as an advisor to the newly-minted Rodimus Prime.

Years later on the planet [[Nebulos]], Kup encountered the Nebulan resistance against The Hive. Using Targetmaster technology stolen from the [[Decepticons]], Kup was partnered with the Nebulan Recoil, who apparently then chewed his ear off about their leader, [[Optimus Prime]].

====Headmasters anime====
Kup and [[Fortress Maximus|Fortress]] were old friends.

===Marvel Comics continuity===

====Generation 1====
:''('''Note''': Events in italics occurred only in the Marvel UK books.)''

''Several hundred years ago, Kup became afflicted with combat fatigue, a loss of nerves and will brought on by too many millions of years of non-stop fighting. Considering himself a liability to the Autobot cause, Kup went into "retirement" -- wandering space alone in his starship, waiting for the end to eventually take him. He was shaken out of his misery when he crossed paths with a pair of Tyroxian fighters attempted to destroy a lone spacecraft. Spurred into action, Kup disabled the pursuers and brought the hunted pilot on-board, surprisingly finding him to be a fellow Autobot, Hot Rod. Hot Rod was thrilled to have found aid, and eagerly tried to recruit Kup into helping him return to Tyroxia and save his comrade [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]], but Kup wasn't interested in getting involved any further, and only agreed to take Hot Rod back to Cybertron. The young punk reprogrammed the ship's navigation computers, though, and landed on Tyroxia to rescue Blurr by himself. Kup was finally shaken out of his funk when he realized that Hot Rod represented everything he used to be, and single-handedly saved Hot Rod and Blurr from their Tyroxian tormentors. His fighting spirit restored, Kup returned to Cybertron with the two Autobots, and joined Fortress Maximus' troop alongside his new allies.''

When Fortress Maximus became disheartened by the never-ending cycle of violence on Cybertron, he made plans to escape the war and set up a new life on the planet [[Nebulos]]. Kup and many of his top warriors chose to follow their leader to this new world, aboard the starship [[Steelhaven]]. Tragically, a series of incidents and misunderstandings brought the Autobots and Nebulans to the brink of war within days of their arrival. Kup was all for forcibly teaching the Nebulans some manners, but Fortress Maximus forbade it. In a desperate attempt to show their true intentions, Fort Max, Kup and several others disarmed themselves in front of the Nebulan gates. Furthermore, Fortress Maximus and four of his lieutenants beheaded themselves and agreed to leave their lifeless heads and bodies, as well as their various weapons, in Nebulan custody so that serious peace talks could be conducted. Kup took over command of the Autobot wilderness camp in Fortress Maximus' absence.

Matters quickly deteriorated after the arrival of the Decepticons, and two factions of Nebulans joined with both Autobots and Decepticons through bio-mechanical engineering to become Headmasters. Events turned against the Autobots, as [[Lord Zarak]], the Nebulan politician binary-bonded to Decepticon leader [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], was able to sway public opinion in favor of the Decepticons, labeling the Autobots as renegades and taking their Headmasters prisoner. Some Nebulans remained loyal to Fortress Maximus' partner, [[Galen]], and traveled to the Autobot camp to forge an alliance. Making use of a new form of bio-mechanical engineering, Kup and the other weaponless Autobots were teamed with Nebulan Targetmasters to replace their lost guns. Kup personally was teamed with Recoil. As the conflict continued, though, both camps of Nebulans began to realize the devastation they were causing to their homeworld, and decided to quit Nebulos and travel to Earth in search of other Transformers. The crew of Steelhaven soon found themselves linked with the Ark's Autobots, and under the overall command of Optimus Prime.

====Generation 2====

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
During the Cybertronian War's earlier years, a young Kup served alongside [[Ironhide]] and [[Wheeljack]] under the command of [[Grimlock]]. He appeared to be the only one who would speak up against Grimlock. When Optimus Prime and Megatron disappeared in a prototype Space Bridge Accident, Kup followed his unit to the Lightning Strike Coalition offshoot of the [[Autobot]] faction.
Along with [[Arcee]], [[Blaster]], [[Hot Rod]] and [[Wheelie]], Kup was part of a resistance group during [[Shockwave]]'s control of Cybertron.

===''Teletraan Go! Go!'' mini-comics===
Kup stopped a feisty [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] from annoying [[Teletraan 15]]. When 15 thanked him, he gave her a big old spine-cracking hug.

===IDW comics continuity===
Kup is extremely old. In years past, he's trained dozens of Autobots, including [[Prowl (G1)|Prowl]], [[Springer (G1)|Springer]], [[Sideswipe (G1)|Sideswipe]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]], [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]], and even [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]].

At some point, he and [[Outback (G1)|Outback]] crash-landed on a mysterious planet covered with radioactive crystals. Over time, Kup was slowly driven insane from the radiation; he talked to the dead corpse of Outback as though he were still alive (and used his disembodied arm as a club) and believed that zombies were attacking him when he shut down for the night. In reality, these zombies were fellow Autobots sent to rescue him, and Kup killed several of them before Springer managed to get a [[Trailbreaker (G1)|specialist]] in to extract the aging Autobot. Unfortunately, due to the damage Kup sustained from the radiation, his incompatibility with modern Transformers tech due to his age and stubborn unwillingness to upgrade, and a near-meltdown of his spark, he was placed on life support upon arriving aboard [[Ark-17]], and it is unknown if he will recover - physically or mentally. {{storylink|Spotlight: Kup}}

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
*'''Kup''' (Autobot, 1986)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-82'''

[[Image:G1_Kup_toy.jpg|thumb|left|150px|And that's who you'll be from now on Kup: Shitpiece!]]

: Kup transforms into a Cybertronic pickup truck (though how he is able to carry goods safely with no tailgate is a mystery). The entire front of the vehicle (including the windshield) is made out of die-cast metal. In robot mode Kup has full shoulder rotation, though the way his elbows are set up means he cannot make full use of their joints, but (somewhat) makes up for it with swivel wrists. His legs feature no articulation whatsoever. He is armed with a blue laser rifle.

: Early releases of Kup had metal rear wheels, while later releases replaced them with black plastic.

{{-}}

*'''Kup''' (Targetmaster, 1987)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-113'''

: Kup (this time using all-plastic parts rather than die-cast) was slightly [[retool]]ed with larger fist-holes and a mounting point on his vehicle mode back-end in order to make him into a [[Targetmaster]]. He came with his Nebulan partner [[Recoil]] rather than his original blaster.

*'''Future Cybertron''' (Transformers Collection, 2005)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''TF-20'''

: Targetmaster Kup was reissued in Japan, and like the "[[Transformers Collection]]" reissue of [[Hot Rod]], he came with his original metal parts restored, as well as both his partner Recoil ''and'' his original gun, which was slightly retooled to fit the larger weapon-mounting points. The set also came with a redecoed [[Wheelie]].

: This iteration of the mold was used to make [[Optimus_Prime_%28G1%29_toys#Generation_1|Orion Pax]].

===Merchandise===

==Trivia==
* Check out the Kup toy's chest-sticker... it's got a pair of [[Floppy disk|5 1/4-inch floppy disk]] drives on it. Apparently, he can store up to two extra Transformers' brains.

* In the Japanese ''[[Binaltech Asterisk]]'' online manga, a little lost kitty was rescued from certain death (well, being stuck in a tree) by [[Ai Kuruma]] and [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]]. That kitty was named [[Cha]] (Kup's Japanese name).

* Kup was given an [[homage]] in the ''[[Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' toy line in the form of [[Brakedown (Cybertron)|Brakedown GTS]], a "powered-up" [[redeco]] of that series' cnatankerous old coot character, with the colors changed to resemble Kup's.

* He claims on his MySpace page (see External links) that he's a [[Covenant|Pisces]].<ref>
Kup's Myspace page was created by [[Nick Roche]] to promote his IDW [[Spotlight: Kup]] story.</ref> It is best to remember, however, that at the time he wrote this he was utterly [[Galvatron (G1)|insane]].

Inferno (G1)

{{disambig3|Inferno}}

:''Inferno is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:G1Inferno_collectionbox1.jpg|right|thumb|350px|Will probably start fires just to put them out.]]

'''Inferno''' is one gung-ho robot, ready and willing to roll out into the thick of any action at the drop of a hat. If the mission is search and rescue he's one of the best bots to have around, but he's even happier when called on to fight. Nothing gets Inferno's circuits going like a one-on-one with a few Decepticon trouble makers. During his down time he can generally be found hanging out with [[Red Alert (G1)|Red Alert]] and trying his best to keep Red out of trouble.

==Fiction==
===Animated continuity===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Walker Edmiston]] (US), [[Takurō Kitagawa]] (Japan)

He has a khaind of a Texan cowboy accent, and a [[Firestar (G1)|purdy gurlfriend]], like awl [[Ironhide (G1)|rehd Autabawts]].

===Marvel Comics continuity===
Inferno had a tendency to die. Repeatedly. He never let this keep him down.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:G1_Inferno_toy.jpg|right|thumb|160px|Then he'll start the fire again.]]
*'''Inferno''' (Autobot, 1985)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-10'''

: Inferno transforms into a Japanese firetruck. Each of his forearms contains a spring-loaded missile launcher, so he can fire his own fists or silver missiles. He is usually depicted in media has having a missile in place of a hand on his right arm. He is also armed with a small black rifle.

: In 2002, Inferno was re-released as part of [[Takara]]'s [[Transformers Collection]] series. This time he featured [[tampo-graphed]] Autobot symbol and blue eyes instead of yellow. These changes carried over to the [[Comemorative Series]] Inferno, Commemorative Series [[Grapple]], and [[Load Hauler]].

: In 2003, he was released by [[Hasbro]] in the Toys "R" Us [[exclusive]] "[[Commemorative Series]]" line.

: This mold was [[redeco]]ed and partially [[retool]]ed to make the [[Targetmaster]] [[Artfire (G1)|Artfire]], and [[Grapple_(G1)|Grapple]].

*'''Inferno with Hydro-Pack''' (Action Master, 1990)

: A non-transforming action figure with a simplified design, Inferno came with a [[Hydro-Pack]] that could be attached to his back or transformed into a large hand held Laser weapon. He is compatible with all other Action Master weapons and vehicles.

===Generation 2===
*'''Inferno''' (Autobot Hero, 1993)
: For ''Generation 2'', Inferno's original toy was re-used with virtually no deco changes, adding only the "Autobot" [[tampograph]]. His forearms were retooled to remove the spring-loaded launcher mechanism (the chromed missiles from the original releases were also dropped), but he came with a large red water-shooting cannon that clipped to his ladder.

==Trivia==
[[Image:A35.jpg|left|thumb|Inferno moonlights for easy cash.]]

*Inferno's original toy, slightly modified, was knocked off and used as the titular giant robot in the Korean animated film ''Phoenix King'' (피닉스킹). ''Phoenix King'' was dubbed (horribly) and released in America by Digiview Entertainment as ''[http://www.cyrusfirst.com/guests/digiview/dev/detail.php?p=91 Defenders of Space]'', generally selling for the bargain price of $1.00. Scenes of "Inferno" from this movie were also incorporated into another bargain film distributed by Digiview Entertainment, ''[http://www.cyrusfirst.com/guests/digiview/dev/detail.php?p=201 Space Thunder Kids]''.

*In the late 1990s, a knockoff of G2 Inferno with some yellow parts was sold in discount stores on a card reading "Transformers: Generation 3."

*The earliest pictured version of Action Master Inferno is largely different from the final version, but only upon close examination. The early version errs on the side of the original toy in color and design, while the final more closely follows the design of the animation model. Strangely, the early version has a nearly solid black block of a head (possibly to echo the ladder base in which the original's head was contained), as well as generally wider and chunky proportions.
