@@ShockwaveEditz01 BotCon Apelinq, the Transmetal Primal repaint in red, green, and silver. Yeah it was a straight repaint and not a retooled look like this but I really fuck with the color scheme and I think it’s a banger as far as repaint characters go. I dislike ROTB’s decision to make all the Maximals predominantly one color each to begin with, but I think Apelinq especially suffered because all silver is the most boring option for a live action movie design imo
Can you imagine if Hasbro and Yolopark teamed up together? A screen accurate model kit that can also transform into a screen accurate alt mode would be just prime
the big thing is that it's very hard to get model kits to have a good working transformation. for example, Bandai who is arguably the furthest ahead in model kit tech has only recently made a fully transforming kit that doesn't make you want to pull your hair out.
Context: apelinq was the one to restart the wreckers in the beast era and became the first leader to become a second in command of the next leader primal prime
@@grimlocktheking2010 yeah your kinda right i just realized that they remodeled the chest too. i dont mind it since the hands were decent, but yeah they could have changed it too.
Absolutely the fuck not worth 60. I got Bee, Prime and Primal for maybe 25 bucks more than this guy. Yolo sees that's these are popular and inflated the prices now while lowering the quality
You say that as if hasbro hasn't made figures for characters with less screentime or no screentime.....oh wait...they have and odds are, you probably bought one in your lifetime
@@Kaiju-bm4ts I know they did. And I know I did. Hell, I haven't seen 1 ep of bw neo and stil bought legacy magmatron because his design is outrageous. In a good way.
Transforming isn't the selling point of these model kits, they're meant to capture one of the two modes as accurately as possible. You can't get that if the robot mode is inevitably compromised by the gimmick of transforming the figure itself.
@@Kaiju-bm4ts That's really obvious, I build a ton of gunpla so no need to talk down about what this is meant to do. All I am saying is if a transformers doesn't transform I am not going to be interested no matter how "premium" it looks or feels. Especially for a figure like this that still is barely worth the price of admission IMO for 60$ all the other kits did the same for cheaper.
@@zacharyowenmartin8247 And if you build model kits then what was the point of you stating the obvious that this was a non transforming figure?. Transforming is a gimmick, not a necessity for a piece of merchandise to have. You wouldn't have this level of detail or accuracy if this was a normal transforming figure given the less simplistic design itself and 60 bucks really isn't much...I've seen kits that are priced up higher than this. 60 if anything is the same price as some transforming figures themselves and is pretty cheap. Not as cheap as a 30 dollar kit sure, but still cheap.
My guy please don't say hard pass when hasbro gives out actual transforming figures of characters who had less screentime (if not zero) than apelinq here. **Looks at berserker who had 9 seconds in tf5 and was one of the most common deluxe figures in 2017* TF toys transforming isn't a necessity. You get more accuracy from non transforming figures than ones that rely on transformation as the main selling point.
@@Kaiju-bm4ts don't get me wrong. It's a good figure lol. It's just that I person don't care for model kits or other figures that aren't transforming. To me, that's the fun bit of transformers figures, the engineering that goes to make a good looking that can still transform without sacrifices.
@@Nayders And while transforming is always fun, sacrifices are inevitably made to make one mode look more accurate than the other. Especially if the design is a live action design that isn't entirely figure friendly. This is why g1 and more simplistic designs are easier to get right when it comes to transforming figures, anything that's not g1 is a automatic hit or miss. This is where model kits come into play, it doesn't matter if the design is simplistic or not cause model kits don't have to sacrifice the accuracy of the robot mode to make the gimmick of transformation a thing. Both sides are good but there is a reason non transforming figures are popular and are looked at as more accurate.

Poor Apelinq bruh. Still, he gets a baller asf design.
I prefer his original design and colors but the new one is cool
He just got his left shoulder fuckin obliterated.
@@Cdr2002 what do you mean “original design”?

Parts fall off, toyguy - "he's preproduction"
Scourge - "he got in my way, I ended him"
Parts fall off is a feature
Apelinq had such a quick death it was crazy. Still enjoyed the reveal of him though, his design reminds me of a Wrestler so..Pretty nice.
I didn't think I'd be this hyped for a character who barely existed for more than two minutes

that's just masterpiece scale figures like the mpm line

Uh MPM?
Oh btw, magnets are _SUPER_ cheap. You play Warhammer right? They are literally pennies at places like Element Games.
Bro I also can't wait for the age of extinction optimus prime fr
Might order him. He looks fire though that's for sure
0:07 why does he look depressed?lol
My boi needs more color, he's blending in with the movie Genericons
Paper plane made this figure cost 60 dollars
Love these figures. I am waiting on Mirage personally
Damn now I wish he really did transform in the movie.
Not sure if its worth it to be at that price to have so many bits fall off and have to be glued back on.
Now what we need is an airazor and possibly transit???
Amazing figure
0:17 it looks like he had a hard day at work
Yoloparks upcoming knight prime and mirage are going to be there best figures by far, I can't wait
Okay now i just gotta wait for the studio series for my 3h wreckers
Context: apelinq was the one to restart the wreckers in the beast era and became the first leader to become a second in command of the next leader primal prime
Does it hold optimus primals swords?
Here at 16 seconds
it reminds of "predator"
That is without a doubt worth 60 dollars
Even though he looks better than primal with the paint, he's too floppy for me to consider him at all (not to mention the leader price point)
"not the same as the AMK Pro" you uh... You forgot to specify that it's Pro X in the title
why doesn’t he have articulated fingers scourge had them why not him???
cause it is a primal repaint
@@adrianl7701 i know but im saying it because hes 60$

Cool!
60 buck for that? Er..k
Minecraft
NOTICE ME
Man he falls apart more here than he did in the film!
I'll pass.

Doesn't even transform on screen.
Pass.

first
Character with 0 screen time.. And its not an actual transforming figure. Hard pass.
