Great review as always Rodimus. I was lucky enough to pick him up as well as Cliffhumper and mask less bee from the bumblebee movie. Right place at the right time!

Such a difference that a good paint job can make

ended up getting this guy for 7$ at target today, best deal on a transformer I've ever seen

Sorry for the late commenting, but I’m always impressed by how people like yourself are willing to customize your Transformers figures for better cartoon-accuracy, to cover up the undesirable bits, or even to make a completely new character! I’ve never had the courage/need to customize my figures or follow through on purchasing upgrade kits. Good on ya, RP!

I took the front wheels and the front part of the legs that house back wheels off of the original Studio Series 86 to make the Buzzworthy Bumblebee version have black wheels which improves this even more!

[BraveBladeProductions]

More animation accuracy is always a plus for me, although I wouldn't say it's enough for me to buy him when I already own the original 86 Studio Series Kup.

[RazyelKayneReviews]

I want a movie accurate Kup, but I can't buy him twice. Might get the Toyhax for SS86. Great comparison review, I love seeing those. Great work as usual good sir!

[omegaus]

That old timer isn't retiring just yet. I want to hear his war story a lot. I will get him soon. I see some people like glue the arms and legs on Kup sense they have the original to keep one getting fix up and one lead the Wreckers to the fight. Awesome review.

I just grabbed mine from Target this week also

[TonySalazar]

I knew I had to have him the moment he was announced despite having The Titans Returns and Studio Series 86 versions. He looks so good!

[RobotMartian]

Thank you for making this video. I was having a hard time figuring out how to transform him into his vehicle mode. I overlooked the twist in the shoulder plates.

[therealzeel]

Picked this up at Ross last night for $7.99. Guess most people picked up the first version so this version clogged shelves. But the good news is that it is out there to pick up cheap.

Will go under the tree as a gift to me from Santa. Great review. Can't wait to open up on Christmas morning.

Hope they'll make more Cartoon-accurate transformers soon.

[cropdustcaptain]

Just picked him up and I love it. Vastly superior to the original (except for the cardboard backdrop)

[crumplezone]

I wish I would have known this was coming this is how the 86 one should have looked this one’s so much more accurate

[edge]

I don't understand why the don't make cartoon accurate figurines from the beginning.The studio 86 versions are the closest to cartoon versions to date.Great work Rodimus😉✌🏼

[irishbear]

Buzzworthy Kup is definitely the best ! I finally got my childhood favorite in my hands ! 86 series is cool, but Hands down, Buzzworthy Kup is Awesome!

[Rodsuper]

Yes I went with the Bumblebee series of Kup because that is from the 1986 line. Really happy with that figure.

[loutzenheiser]

That Kup alt-mode really does look very nice!

[DavidSamuelBl]

Transformers Autobot Kup is astonishingly colossal, RodimusPrimal!😉👍
