From Soldier to Mentor, to Survivor and Wrecker, Kup was undoubtedly the oldest active member of the autobots. After a series of mishaps, Kup has become the oldest Cybertronian in history. As a result of his eon-long isolation, the cantsnkerous Kup has lost most of hus patience for hotheaded young punks, tyrbo-revving or otherwise. Kup of Tesarus is extremely old; havung fought in the First Cybertronian Civil War, he lived through the first golden age of cybertrok as a soldier in the Primal Vangaurd. After Nova Prime disappeared aboard the first Ark, Kup temporarily returned from active service and took up the role of training younger bots. Kup eventually became a Cop in Iacon's police force, and over the years, Kup trained dozens of Cybertronians, Including Prowl, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Hotrod and even the five-strong group of Predacons. At some point, after Cybertron was abandoned, Kup and Outback crash-landed on Teiehshi, Which was covered with radioactive Ore-8 crystals. Overtime, Kup was slowly driven insane from the radiation, he spoke to the dead corpse of Outback, as if he were still alive, and believed Zombies were attacking him when he'd shut down for the night, in reality, these Zombies were fellow autobots sent to rescue him, and Kup killed several of them before Springer managed to ger a specialist to extract the again, near-meltdowm of his spark, and was placed on life support upon arriving aboard the Ark-17. Kup finally returned to service when Perceptor and the scientists at the Kimia Facility built a new body for Kup - stronger and based on Pretender Technology acquired from Jetfire, He was mostly healed of his madness, however, he required the use of a Cy-gar, which produced a synthesized version of the crystals' radiation, to keep him sane in the events of a relapse. Kup is now retired from working under the autobots and now runs as Cybertron's head of Security, living within the new Iacon, A bar regular at Maccadam's Old Oil House, where he spends most of his days if he's not watching for crime or training new bots. Kup is primarily a light blue/teal color, a boxy frame and blue optics, who can transform into a futuristic pick-up truck. Kup is a grizzled, elderly Autobot, he is very Wise, a warrior, and mentor; later serves as Cybertron's head of security. Kup is brutally honest, straightforward, and will cut to the chase in conversations. He isn't shy, he'll speak his mind, and is quite demanding. He lacks patience and can sometimes be real aggressive. But he does have a soft spot for new recruits genuinely trying to make cybertron a better place.
