The movie was well into preproduction (possiably even filming?), so chances are they just nicked somthing when they couldn't be arsed to design a new alt-mode. Same as Alpha Trion basicly being Scourge painted preaty colours. If memory serves Kup was also used as the basis for Beachcombers Cybertronian mode in one of the comics...

The movie went into production during the first run of Season 1.
As for Kup's mold being used, I saw on a website a Kup Toy repaint making it look like Orion Pax. Good job.
