The Transformers Asia Facebook page has just revealed the Hasbro Asia exclusive APS01U Optimus Prime Ultimate Addition! This release features a repainted Jetwing Optimus sans battle mask with premium deco and is said to be “loaded with weapons and accessories”. The latter is possibly more than meets the eyes since more details will be revealed soon.
What weapons and accessories aside from the Jetwing pack will this Optimus Prime Ultimate Edition come with? Stay tuned!

I love that thigh swivel mod. Awesome.
I saw all the debate about whether or not the maskless face is better or not.
Why not have both? Check out my removable battle mask mod!

He is really incredible.
Of course now I'm wrestling with wether he or KO evasion Prime belongs with my HA/large TF display. He is a little small, but so is Sentinel and it all worked.
Gaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!

Saw this thread bumped and surprised! Still love this figure though, so freaking beautiful.

Sorry for the necrobump. But I just got this guy. Totally amazing. Is there a feedback thread for this guy? I can't seem to find it?

Is it possible for someone to be kind enough to measure the box for me?
Thanks in advance!!!

You were absolutely right. There's a ridge on the bottom of the mushroom peg that holds it in place. it just needs to be shaved off. All you need is a screwdriver and a knife.

Nah they all have tabs within I think that limit the thighs from swiveling much if at all. You'd probaby have to take the legs apart and dremel a bit.

Well, I picked up Amazon Jetwing Prime for $60 over the weekend. After my first experience messing with the mold, I have to have APS-01U. It will be mine. I love this thing too much not to get him. Just need to find the right time.
Question, does ANY version of this mold have thigh swivvles that actually work? And if not, what's hindering it? He is seriously lacking some leg articulation.

Yes, the dull grey smoke stacks are definitely out of place, as overall the piece is very detailed with intricate paint apps. Its my only complaint with the figure. I think you can buy chrome sleeves to cover them, if you do not want to paint it.
I opened mine up, as you can see, and I collect a lot of MISB (mainly Takara MP). He has so many accessories. You just don't feel it without opening him and gearing him up.

Just got my APS-01U tonight. Wow, what a package! Large and beautiful, I love the slide-out cover. Makes a nice windowed-box display without any flaps getting in the way. Kinda wish Takara MP packaging had something similar.
The dark and silver metallic paint contrast well together, and the subtle gold details and tinted windows complete the look. If I didn't know about the pin-striping, I wouldn't even miss them.
The only parts that I feel the need to paint over are the bare-plastic smokestacks. A little chrome paint should look nice.
Normally, I'd just take the toy out of the box, but for such an expensive piece, I think it can stay mint-in-box for a while longer

Yeah, the guy is huge with jet pack and guns on. I find myself walking through doors sideways.

I had mine like that the past few days. I like the movie accurate look of the FWI-4, but this jetpack and guns really is impressive and imposing in person.
