Thanks for the preview! Beast mode looks great. Robot mode looks disappointing. A new chest or a very different head would have done wonders, but mostly it's the deco. I will be repainting and modding him for sure.
They really couldn’t have. The colors on apelinq are different with almost all silver plus he has different armor and detailing on the shoulders and forearms. Optimus primal and Apelinq are similar but not interchangeable.
@@Zapdos536 I meant as an accesory for the Primal figure to swap the head with, like Primal came with Primes Axe to give to the ss 102. I have the SS Primal but wish it had the faceplate, or at least, the option.
Hey, spoke with you at mcm on the Friday, can you confirm if apeling is SS-118 or SS116. Images online show 116, even on the back drop it has 116, cheers
Nice to meet you there. These ones I’ve reviewed were all pre production stuff so I imagine these are wrong. I would say go with whatever the Hasbro pulse website says .
as a wrecker fan i thought this was a dissapointment (due to the yolopark) and how it looked too much like optimus primal but the differences make me apreciate it ape mode: - the arms are thicker - the shoulders are asimetical - it is a lighter black - the stomach is more silver - theres a lot of grey robot mode: - new head - the chest paint aps are different - the knees are more grey Overral for my 3h wreckers crew this is a good option
Yeah, I totally agree. Having the head, arms & paint redone are subtitle but effective choices to make both Apelinq & Primal standout from each other!
This silver just really works on him
So if I'm right, there is no official model of what Apelinq looks like in robot mode, so, the designers had to invent a robot mode, just like Airazor.
There is the YOLO Park figure which is a completely new design
@@kanohihorder1228 I'm aware, I think this Yolopark version is much better in design.
Good to see someone review a copy guven by hasbro and not stolen cough cough primevsprime
Thanks very much. His lack of packaging is always such a giveaway it’s a stolen figure
Gosh Apelinq looks like a the W.I.P for Primal, he just looks so much more bare
I think the silver really pops
@@ToysareRuss Oh? Maybe he looks better in person
PS: for their robot modes, the panel that becomes his ape stomach swivels up into the backpack for robot mode.
Thanks for this. I didn’t have much time to get used to him

No problem. You’re correct that the beast mode is the best looking
Great review! This looks fantastic! I too prefer this color scheme over Primal’s.
Do you get to keep the figures sent by Hasbro or not?
Not these first run test pieces no
They could had included an extra head for primal with the faceplate :(

Thanks very much

He’s pre order now

Do you have the tf one sentinel prime?
I asked him and he said no 😢
It’s not there. Sorry
as a wrecker fan i thought this was a dissapointment (due to the yolopark) and how it looked too much like optimus primal but the differences make me apreciate it
ape mode:
- the arms are thicker
- the shoulders are asimetical
- it is a lighter black
- the stomach is more silver
- theres a lot of grey
robot mode:
- new head
- the chest paint aps are different
- the knees are more grey
Overral for my 3h wreckers crew this is a good option
They could make him another color atleast its too similiar too primal
I hand it’s quite different he’s a lot more silver.
I wish they retooled more in robot mode
Hey Russ id really appreciate a Transformation Video for Hatchet if you can!
Great review! The unboxing of the Transformers Studio Series Apelinq figure from the Rise of the Beasts movie was awesome. 🚗🤖✨
Thank you 🤗
YOU PUT THE BLADES WRONG ON THE BEAST MODE THEY GO BACK WARDS(sorry OCD)
Thanks for letting me know .
nice!
Not bad but face is DNA head better than this one. This is trans metal gorilla plus Primal’s option head.
The silver on this guys shoulders and forearms is really good
The fact that it’s the same size as primal confuses me
...real Freak... like that...😈
...me too...😂
