'''Kup''' always has advice for the youngsters. Always. Even in the middle of the worst firefight, with smoke and death all around, Kup is ready with a calmly-told tale with the right advice to get them out of a terrible situation. His incredible longevity and fearlessness in the face of Decepticon assault has given rise to the silly rumor that lasers just bounce off the veteran Autobot... and the less-silly rumor that he's just a little bit crazy.

[[Hot Shot (Prime)|Hot Shot]] isn't particularly fond of working with him.

[[Image:WFCDS Kup universal greeting.jpg|thumb|right|174px]]
:''Voice actor:'' [[Ed O'Ross]] (English)
Before departing for a mission to get some data links working again, [[Autobot rookie|a newly trained Autobot]] had a brief exchange with Kup over a communications monitor that consisted of the elderly Autobot uttering the [[universal greeting]]. Once the youth got the links up and running, he contacted [[Ironhide (Prime)|Ironhide]] who told him he was being reassigned to Kup's team. The recruit looked forward to the exciting times he'd experience being on Kup's team. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

Kup thought very highly of [[Zhòng Chuí Tiě Wèi]]. {{Storylink|Transformers Online}}

*'''Sergeant Kup''' (Deluxe Class, 2012)
**''Series / number'': '''1 / 013'''
**''Accessories'': 2 cannons

: Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Robots in Disguise (2012)|Prime: Robots in Disguise]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Sergeant Kup transforms into a large pickup truck of made-up model. He has twin cannons that peg into his forearms/doors, hands, and truck bed, and can also combine to form a longer weapon. He also has a "dramatic head reveal," wherein his head rises up from within his torso when his abdomen panel is [[Slide joint|slid]] up. He also features a [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|fake kibble]] windshield on his chest, with the real front windshield ending up on his back.

: His [[stock photography]] depicts a few [[paint operation]]s not on the final product; metallic gold on the ends of his cannon barrels, as well as black boxes on his shins.

: As should be visibly apparent, Kup is a green [[redeco]] of a design for [[Ironhide (Prime)#Deluxe|''Prime'' Ironhide]] created by [[Ken Christiansen]] that incorporates elements of the character's [[Ironhide (G1)|Generation 1]] and [[Ironhide (Movie)|live-action movie]] selves. Although Ironhide was originally solicited as part of the fifth ''Prime'' wave, Kup was ultimately released in his place.

: In wave six of the ''Prime'' toyline, Kup was put into new packaging, which came with a DVD featuring the ''[[Transformers: Prime (cartoon)| Prime]]'' episode, "[[Loose Cannons]]".

==Notes==
* In the Nintendo DS version of ''War for Cybertron'', Kup's only appearance is in an easter egg within the game. In the tutorial level, after speaking with [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]] and [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]], walk over to the wall with three monitors on the right. Approach the middle monitor, and Kup appears for a chat.
* Whether the recruit survives to actually end up on Kup's squad depends on whether you're playing the Autobot or Decepticon variant of the game. The latter does not turn out well for him.

'''Thundercracker''' is a founding member of the [[Mayhem Suppression Squad]] and its friendly, moral center. If his paintjob doesn't blind his enemies into submission, he's got a 50-meter sonic-dampening effect to shut them up. He feels so sorry for beings that, unlike himself, are incapable of flight, that he sometimes drags them through the sky unsolicited using his, er, "mango-clamps."

During a battle to defend the [[Arch-Ayr]] fuel dump from the evil [[Autobot]]s, the Mayhem Suppression Squad was called in to assist. Thundercracker's blast of anti-sound managed to temporarily silence ''all'' of the voices in [[Arcee (SG)|Arcee]]'s head, leaving her vulnerable to attack. {{storylink|Dungeons & Dinobots}}

*'''Galvatron''' / '''Thundercracker''' ([[BotCon 2011]] souvenir set)
**''Accessories'': Left & right launchers, 2 missiles

: Thundercracker and [[Megatron (SG)|Galvatron]] were an add-on souvenir set available exclusively at [[BotCon 2011]]. Like previous versions of the ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Thundercracker toy, ''Shattered Glass'' Thundercracker is a faithful reproduction of his original 1984 toy, but with modern standards of toy engineering, transformation, sculpting detail and articulation. He transforms into an F-15 Eagle, but has the nose of an F-14 Tomcat fighter jet. Unlike previous versions of the ''Classics'' Thundercracker toy, ''Shattered Glass'' Thundercracker is a [[neon|buffet of colors]], a visual homage to the ''[[Action Master]]'' Thundercracker action figure.

: There were only 1800 ''Shattered Glass'' Thundercracker figures produced. This mold was also used for a buttload of other [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]].
{{--}}
==Notes==
* Thundercracker is in a ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' [[Seeker (body-type)|Seeker]] body, but with his incredibly [[Neon|eye-searing]] [[Action Master]] color scheme.
* A redeco of the ''Classics'' Seeker mold as Action Master Thundercracker was originally going to be the attendee freebie figure for [[BotCon 2010]], but the mold was being used for ''Generations'' Thrust by Hasbro at the time and thus unavailable. Had it been produced, this figure could probably have doubled as ''Shattered Glass'' Thundercracker, much like the [[Slicer|Slice]]/Shattered Glass [[Wheeljack (SG)|Wheeljack]] toy that was made in its stead. The toy was eventually released as Shattered Glass Thundercracker at [[BotCon 2011]]. The bio and tech specs for [[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)|G2]] [[Action Master]] Thundercracker was published in the [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club (magazine)|Official Collectors' Club magazine]] in late 2011 effectively making this figure both Shattered Glass Thundercracker and G2 Thundercracker.
* Thundercracker marks the second instance of the same mold being used to make exclusive toys for two different BotCons. (The first example spanned two continents: [[Double Punch]] at [[BotCon Japan 1998]] and [[Sandstorm (BW)|Sandstorm]] at [[BotCon 1999]].)
