What happens to Cupcake (No spoilers)

[cubbie]

Many of you know Cupcake from these two scenes

First, where he gets to beat up a young Kirk in Iowa. Second where he is guarding an older Kirk and Scotty on the bridge of the Enterprise.

Unfortunately, he has a poor choice of color for his uniform.

Is Cupcake doomed? Will he die a tragic death? Will Kirk sprinkle some red frosting on him and eat him for breakfast? Will Cupcake go on a diet?

What is Cupcakes fate? (no spoilers from the movie for those that already know if Cupcake got toasted-- beyond the clips that we've seen)

Awww. Don't you want to guess the fate of Cupcake?

 

[archeryguy1701]

Cupcake is going to be the famous Redshirt- he's the redshirt that started the downfall of all other Redshirts. In fact, I'm going to say that he starts 2 trends: redshirts dying and eating exploding consoles.

 

[cubbie]

Maybe cupcake has a bun in the oven (muffin's oven) and his redshirt death is actually tragic

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Cupcake is probably gonna get frosted.

 

[shapeshifter]

Oh, we're guessing. Ok.

Cupcake eventually goes to the Mirror Universe where he starts a fad for wearing goatees.

 

[Augustus]

Cupcake is probably gonna get frosted.

I bet cupcake goes on to a long but unremarkable career in Star fleet and retires being disregarded as the guy that beat up the greatest starfleet captain ever, James T. Kirk...

 

[archeryguy1701]

Cupcake gets left in the oven too long... nobody likes a hard, burnt cupcake.

 

[cubbie]

^^^ And is called twinkie instead (in reply to shape-shifter's MU comment)

 

[urbandk]

cupcake is a bunt cake

 

[Captain Pike]

Cupcake has no first name. Nuff said.

 

[cubbie]

Cupcake has a creamy center. He oozed at the end.

 

[shapeshifter]

Ugh!

I can't shake the notion Cupcake represents someone seen in an OS episode...

 

[Captain Pike]

..last name even. He's like Guy in Galaxy Quest.

Is Guy French?

 

[Captain Pike]

Guy: I changed my mind. I wanna go back.
Sir Alexander Dane: After the fuss you made about getting left behind?
Guy: Yeah, but that's when I thought I was the crewman that stays on the ship, and something is up there, and it kills me. But now I'm thinking I'm the guy who gets killed by some monster five minutes after we land on the planet.
Jason Nesmith: You're not gonna die on the planet, Guy.
Guy: I'm not? Then what's my last name?
Jason Nesmith: It's, uh, uh - -I don't know.
Guy: Nobody knows. Do you know why? Because my character isn't important enough for a last name, because I'm gonna die five minutes in.
Gwen DeMarco: Guy, you have a last name.
Guy: DO I? DO I? For all you know, I'm "Crewman Number Six"! Mommy... mommy...
Sir Alexander Dane: Are we there yet?

Cupcake decided to go even lower and negotiated a better deal on Priceline!

 

[Brutal Strudel]

You're thinking of Namby Pamby, one of the other three guys.

Cupcake is the guy after Namby Pamby.. They cut him out of the shorter commercial.
