Remember nothing has been confirmed at this time. This is only a rumor.

UPDATE: Nothing has been confirmed and this is still a rumor however:

"neither side was willing to confirm this rumor, I feel it's worth mentioning that neither side was willing to deny the rumor either."

In this Spotlight on the grizzled old TRANSFORMER, KUP finds himself stranded, facing shutdown, and fighting evil that just might be all in his mind. Alex Milne joins the cause, too, presenting a special variant cover that shows just what KUP is up against in this Spotlight, seen below in today's ADJ. Enjoy!"
