During the Ark crew's search for the Allspark, Kup was among the Autobots who stayed on Cybertron to fight off Decepticon forces. Upon their return with the artifact, he assisted them in their battle to restore the planet, during which he took down a Seeker in jet mode with his bare hands before groaning how he was getting too old for this warfare. He was suddenly assaulted by Lockdown only to be saved by Whirl. Battle For Cybertron II
After the Great War was won in the Autobots' favor, Kup was among the Transformers imprisoned by the Quintessons in the Loop, which made him relive the same five minutes of a parade over and over. The Loop The Sleeper Kup was eventually freed from the simulation alongside the other Autobots thanks to the Cybertronian resistance, who got them to transform when they unleashed Air Hammers into the Loop.

- Released in the fourth series of Cyberverse Tiny Turbo Changers, Kup changes from a Cybertronian pick-up truck to robot and back in a few simple steps. He features ball-jointed shoulders and has 3 mm compatible fist slots.
Notes
- Kup's design is based off his Generation 1 counterpart's first Generations toy with minor stylistic tweaks based off his Titans Return toy.
- Kup's concept art (shown above) depicts him with heavily shadowed cheekbones resembling wrinkles, which seems to have been misinterpreted as a thick black streak running across his jowls by the animators.
