The ongoing battle between the Autobots and the Decepticons continues with Autobots Kup and Wheelie doing their part to save the Earth and their home planet Cybertron. The Takara Japanese Transformers Kup and Wheelie Action Figures are packaged together in this action-packed version of the pair. Kup is one of the older original Autobot Transformers and has been featured in videos, movies, comics and the Transformers animated series. In this package, he is pictured as a fully transformed robot with this weapon of choice, a Musket Laser that fires metal-corroding acid. The Kup character can transform into a futuristic pickup truck featuring brilliant blue metallic paint. This toy figure is recommended for ages 13 and up. Kup’s sidekick Wheelie is pictured on the toy’s packaging as a transformed motorcycle-like figure. Wheelie can transform into an orange colored car. He has also been featured in a variety of media productions such as comics and animated cartoons. Together the robots interact with characters from the Autobot ranks and the world of the Decipticons, including Megatron, Rodimus Prime, Galvatron and Optimus Prime to name a few. Highly imaginative play can be the result of pitting Kup and Wheelie against Grimlock and Unicron or involving any of the other Autobots or Decepticons, such as Ironhide or Ultra Magnus. These toys battle to decide dominance over the planet Cyberton, as well as Earth. The Kup and Wheelie packaging’s language is almost entirely in Japanese, with the exception of the title on the front, which reads: “The Transformers Collection, More Than Meets The Eye.” The reverse side of the package details how Kup and Wheelie transform back and forth between robot and vehicle. Also depicted on the back of the package are instruction cards with more detailed information. The Autobot Transformers Kup and Wheelie are allies of characters known as Dinobots and the young robot called HotRod. Kup has assisted HotRod before when a friend was in need of help. HotRod is brash and bold, and Kup has rescued him from the Decepticons in the past. The package of Kup and Wheelie is a Generation 1 issue of the Transformers figures. In the Transformers world, a “generation” is the next iteration of the toy or action figure. Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobots, and characters such as Rodimus Prime, HotRod, Kup, and Wheelie, battle Deceptions like Megatron and Galvatron for the position of leader of all Transformers. The battle will likely continue between the Autobots and the Deceptions as long as the huge popularity of the Transformers remains. The die-cast figure of Autobot Kup is approximately seven inches in height, making it a substantially sized member of the Transformers. The Takara Japanese Transformers Kup and Wheelie Action Figures would be an exciting toy for ages 13 and up, or an ideal addition to any collector’s showcase.
