I’ve said it before, Kup’s “cigar” was one of if not my single favourite character in All Hail Megatron. Giving the grizzled old bugger that “cigar” was a real hoot, especially back when it was meant to be just an empty energon version of what we’d call a cigar that he’d been chomping on for countless years. Did it make sense? Probably not, but it was a real laugh.
Seeing Bay and his team incorporate that into the new Hound for Transformers 4 gave me a chuckle. I’m guessing Hound is the new Kup?
