That looks great, I love the additional gold accents on the figure and that tiny blue dot on his eyes.
Its a bit dissapointing that the smokestacks are still that ugly gray-soft-weird-straw-like pipes.
I still prefer the Abs and the chrome on buster prime, I wished he had the same chrome pieces and more, that shield would look amazing with chrome.
Overall great figure...

I kinda wish the hands were a lighter grey. Also, still want a battle mask.
Those are the figure's only real flaws, in my eyes.

We've seen in-hand images of the Takara Tomy Asia Premium Series Ultimate APS-01U Optimus Prime - and now, thanks to fellow Seibertronian Transformersmegazord, we also get the chance to look at this Bayverse Autobot leader on video! Check it out embedded below, do you think it deserves the Ultimate monicker? Let us know in the Energon Pub.

It's sad to see how badly the mold has degraded. Parts not fitting, warping, etc. It's a fantastic figure, it's a solid mold and it's transformation is among the most difficult, but it's time to either retool it and make it new or retire it.
If the product coming out of it is going to be like what's seen with APS-01U, it's not going to get better, only worse.
Shame, because it deserves better.

Just received the Facebook message from one of the clients of mine located in Germany.He got his APS-01U today and is really disappointed! Sloppy paint job, not movie accurate at all, some parts have missing paint applications .Simply said not worth it. Just as I predicted in the past. Giving something name "ultimate" doesn't mean ultimate!

I thought the point of putting everything in one set was so toy fans could save money

Wrong - it was so fans could spend money.
I predict this one will go on sale.
