The shrunken Kup must face his fears of things that are bigger than him.
Synopsis
[edit]Kup lives in the Legends World with the human girl Sue and makes a living as a used car salesman, a job that's getting more interesting as more and more transtectors end up on the market. His latest purchase gives him pause as it looks just like his old pickup truck mode, which reminds him of his life before he became a Micromaster to settle on Micro alongside Hot Rod. His time there came to an end when the settlers were attacked by a wild Sharkticon, and despite all his life experience, he was overcome by fear in his tiny new body and fled Micro, abandoning his comrades. His guilt and continued fear have left him plagued by nightmares and he refuses to talk about the past with Sue, not wanting to recall any bad memories, but she comforts him and encourages him to think of the good memories he's amassed in his long life. Kup reflects that good things have indeed happened to him, most recently when he came to this world in search of a body, found Sue lost on the streets and took her in.
Suddenly, Sharkticons attack Kup's shop, paralyzing him with fear as his traumatic memories resurface. Since he refuses to fight the creatures, Sue takes matters into her own hands and uses Master-Braces given to her by her mother to gear up in a Recoil-type Targetmaster suit, carries Kup to the transtector and encourages him to face his fears. Thanks to her, Kup manages to merge with the transtector and uses her gun mode on the Sharkticons, who turn docile. As Sue plays with one of them in the aftermath, Kup realizes her kind heart affects the blasts from her Targetmaster mode, granting them the power to disperse an enemy's fighting spirit. He reflects that he'd forgotten how strong people can be when they work together, no matter their size.
Later, Kup is shocked to learn from Sue that she's the daughter of none other than Marissa Faireborn, having run away from home following a fight with her mother.
