Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

Springer used the Ark-17 as a platform from which he launched his operation to rescue Kup. The ship housed seemingly endless hordes of Autobots that Springer threw at the crazy and powerful Kup. Eventually, Trailbreaker rendezvoused with the Ark-17, and he easily rescued the old coot. Spotlight: Kup

Sometime later, Prowl had hatched a plan to boost Autobot morale by rebuilding and rehabilitating Kup using Thunderwing's Pretender technology that Jetfire and the Technobots had perfected. To maintain Kup's mental stability, it was agreed that he would never be told what he did to the ground teams from Ark-17, and survivors such as Siren and Sizzle were sworn to silence.
