Kup is seasoned veteran, having been forged as a MTO (Made to Order soldier) during the first Cybertronian civil war, Kup went straight into battle from the moment he came online. 3 million years later, Kup trained many young Autobots including Optimus Prime. When the war began, Kup became a commander in the Autobot army. 

Kup is strict and by the book and is really to old for this sh*t, having been around for the duration of 2 multi million year wars he built up a personality of a rough and gruff old timer that has a harder exterior and a semi less hard inside, but once you get close to him and earn his respect he'll keep you close. He is a good soldier, considered by the likes of Optimus Prime and Prowl as one of the best and he has earnt himself a reputaion of respect and many Autobots idalize and look up to him. 

Note: This role is not just for this project and will be required to appear in other projects as well.
