## Biography

### War for Cybertron

Kup was among the Autobots recruited by Optimus Prime to find the AllSpark in Tyger Pax.

Upon arrival, he was horrified to find the AllSpark in Megatron's hands, and watched as the latter killed its guardian, Rubicon. Kup then began to fire upon the Vehicons. He then watched as Bumblebee launched the AllSpark into Space.

He returned to Iacon with the others, and approached Optimus after the latter gave orders to Prowl. He was told by Optimus that it might've been a mistake to launch the AllSpark into space. Kup reassured Optimus that they would stop Megatron. He then spoke to Kup about the sjips that are being built to go off-world. He listened in as Optimus shared his regrets during the war. He then listened as Hot Rod approached the pair and shared some good news. *War for Cybertron Part 3*Kup then rejoined The Wreckers on a mission to attack Kaon and boarded the starship of The Wreckers, The War Star, which blasted off towards Kaon.

At Kaon, Kup abandoned the ship when Soundwave fired upon it and landed safely on the ground. Under orders from Ultra Magnus, Kup began shooting upon the defenses of Kaon with the other Wreckers. *War for Cybertron Part 4*

When the Decepticons began to attack Iacon, Kup was ordered by Magnus to activate Omega Supreme. Kup informed Magnus that Omega Supreme was on the other end of the battlefield, before partnering up with Hot Rod to go activate the slumbering giant. Upon arrival to Omega Supreme, he was asked by Hot Rod how they were going to wake him up. After Omega tells Hot Rod that he's been awake, Kup tells Omega Supreme that the Decepticons are attacking Iacon. He and Hot Rod fled Omega Supreme and watched as the Sentinel transformed into robot mode. When the Decepticons began to flee from Iacon, Kup stopped Hot Rod from chasing after them. *War for Cybertron Part 5*
