In Wings of Honor he was a member of the crew of the Autobot ship Eight Track under the command of Thunderclash.[1][2]

In The Coming Storm Kup is ordered by Landshark to move some boxes with the Autobot Elite Guard logo on them. The Elite Guard Alpha Team and Strike Team did battle against a horde of ferrovorous bugs in one of Cybertron's city-states. Magnum then ordered the Strike Team to escort the Alpha Team to Space Port Bravo for their next mission. The Strike Team then reported to Magnum and Sentinel Major, who introduced them to the new Elite Guard Special-Ops Team, also called the Combaticons.[3][4][5]
