'''[[Kup (G1)|Kup]]''' is a tough old coot. He's almost as old as rust, in fact, and he was plinking [[Decepticon]]s and [[Ick-Yak]]s 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.
The true name of '''[[The Fallen]]''' is lost to the mists of time. He was one of the [[Thirteen original Transformers|original Cybertronians]], a brotherhood of vastly powerful beings dedicated to the well-being of [[Cybertron (planet)|their world]].  But The Fallen would gain his moniker by turning against his brothers and his purpose to pursue his own ends.  This avarice gained him only imprisonment in another dimension, where he waits with eternal patience for the chance to unleash his dark powers once again. In the meantime, he has been able to make contact with willing servants among the [[Transformer]]s and issue orders to hasten his return.


He's probably had a thousand adventures, Kup has, 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, lapping it up like cheap [[Energon (fuel)|energon]], 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 (G1)|Hot Rod]] is one of the worst offenders in this way, but he's a good lad-bot, and Kup will straighten him out sooner or later, even if it takes a tank of [[Sharkticon (G1)|Sharkticon]]s.
Like his brothers, The Fallen is a [[multiversal singularity]], meaning that in all of the vast [[Continuity|multiverse]], there is only one incarnation of him.  But he has appeared in different universes, and in each one, his goal and history are described with a unique flavor.


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.
Did we mention that he is also on fire?

The true name of The Fallen is lost to the mists of time. He was one of the original Cybertronians, a brotherhood of vastly powerful beings dedicated to the well-being of their world. But The Fallen would gain his moniker by turning against his brothers and his purpose to pursue his own ends. This avarice gained him only imprisonment in another dimension, where he waits with eternal patience for the chance to unleash his dark powers once again. In the meantime, he has been able to make contact with willing servants among the Transformers and issue orders to hasten his return.

Like his brothers, The Fallen is a multiversal singularity, meaning that in all of the vast multiverse, there is only one incarnation of him. But he has appeared in different universes, and in each one, his goal and history are described with a unique flavor.

Did we mention that he is also on fire?
