Oddly, the first IDW Transformer story I’m taking out of my collection isn’t a Simon Furman tale. The sad part is this story will be referenced in a later tale, but frankly you could write it off as “this really bad thing happened to him.” I really can’t recommend this story to Kup fans, but from a critical perspective it is a good story, so if you don’t mind seeing Kup on a killing spree because his mind has degraded to tofu, this might be of interest to you.

And Roche kills off Outback, so if you liked that character, too bad! He’s dead! Seeing him in this state is just painful to watch. Kup is supposed to be the aged storyteller, remembering battles and missions of megacycles gone by. It’s just not a story I want to see Kup involved in. Don’t get me wrong, it’s actually a properly creepy story, well written, and Roche’s art style works well with the tale. Springer himself asks if this was worth it, and I have to ask the question about this story. But now that he’s in stasis lock, possibly for good, was that really a rescue?

Prowl isn’t happy with Springer to waste resources trying to rescue an Autobot killing his own out of hysteria but he goes through with it anyway, finally able to recruit Trailbreaker and his force field to rescue Kup. He also doesn’t realize that his traveling partner, Outback, is long since offline permanently or that the “monsters” coming for him at night are actually Autobots in radiation suits trying to recover him.

It’s Kup, driven mad for who knows how many cycles by the planet’s radiation, and believing the singing crystals are his only salvation. The bad news is that he’s gone insane, and kills the survivor. “This is my autographed Stan Bush CD and you can’t have it!”Ī ship crash survivor looks for help from another arriving on the scene.
