Transformers Animated Kup
 

Saw this on ebay. And thought it was kinda neat, that others should see it here if they haven't already.

Transformers Custom KUP G1 Deluxe Classics Animated - eBay (item 130377258560 end time Mar-30-10 18:50:20 PDT)

Kinda curious what others ideas are for a Kup body or head that could work for classics or animated. I want to round out my Animated Collection with the season 3 bots, Arcee, Hot Rod, Kup, Blur and Springer. So kup and springer need suggestions. (Warbot is perfect for classics, not so much animated.)

The Cybertron Mode Op is probably the best of the Animated molds for Kup. Can't really think of any others that would work as well.

Springer, on the other hand, is a tougher nut to crack. Leader Megs would work for the chopper version (even has swords), but it's rather large and out-of-scale with the others. Sentinel Prime might work with a different head (that Tick head is just too iconic), but his alt mode isn't exactly an armored car.

I was actually surprised how well Warbot blurs the lines between Movie, Classics, and Animated aethetics. The light colors, large clean pieces, and curves in vehicle modes really evoke Animated. The face is definitely more Classics though, and you probably don't want to buy two Warbots just to customize one since they're crazy expensive.

I think a good Kup base would be Arcee. You'd have to do some resculpting, but I think her vehicle mode would translate well.
