As previously reported, there's been some talk going around that Kup would be in the Transformers 3 movie based on images that have surfaced from The Scorecard Review of a cardboard cutout bot head on a pole.

Some apparently have assumed that it is Kup, but thanks to Nelson over at Bay's site Shoot For The Edit, that rumor has been squashed. He has posted a notice letting people know the joke's aside with a short statement: "Wrong, no Kup."

In another fell swoop, Nelson has also denied that the Nascar trio are the Stunticons or Omnicons and not giving us alternatives.

"[A]ll I'll tell you is that they're not Stunticons or Omnibots," he writes.
