Aricle By Destron23
The first figure for Botcon 2009 has been revealed and is none other than Kup! He is a repaint and remold of Cybertron Red Alert. More pictures of Kup can be seen here. His bio was also revealed:
"A young and adventurous rookie, Kup is in awe of both his comrades and the new worlds he has gotten to see. Nothing, though, will be able to prepare him for what comes next as he and his fellow teammates are faced with a mission that could change Cybertron and the Autobots ...forever!"
Also the website mentions that the Botcon souvenir toys will only be revealed at Botcon and there will be a Decepticon from Classics that will get an update.
I'm somewhat disapointed. The face sculpt definetly looks like a young Kup, but the body doesn't suit Kup at all! Even the colours aren't quite what they should be. I want to see the other toys. They sound a lot cooler, especially Scourge and Skyquake. I wonder what molds they'll use for the other characters? I could see Scourge being remolded out of Classics Megatron. Think about it. While not similar in alt-mode, the robot modes could be very similar. Classics Megatron has those big wings and so does Scourge, with a remolded head, Megatron could look very much like Scourge.
