A perfect response from XTransbots, Apollyon looks like being the start of new era for them and with Windcharger, Tailgate, Beachcomber and Scourge on the way their future is looking pretty good....and expensive for me 
It also looks as if they're planning their own take on Brawn & Outback along with Powerglide and Cosmos,

Here's my video review of these pretty disappointing figures! Hopefully Ark Studio can improve if they continue to do anymore of these.

Wow, I've been following that Apollyon figure for a while, I can't believe, after all the delays they've experienced and after the mess that their parent company (KFC) had with Transistor, that something as basic as a bicep swivel was not noticed until now. On top of that, the ball jointed shoulder will be a problem in the long run IMHO...
I think I'm going to have to pass on this figure as nice as it looks, I got burned with Transistor and apparently Ollie was just as bad...

That video is awesome! 100% better than the Bay films.

Will he come with a sticker sheet or decepticon insignia on his chest? Most photos show him without the decepticon logo.

It's not an official product so you'll have to buy the Decepticon logos seperately,

Fans Toys Perceptor moves a bit closer to release with the reveal of the color test shot,
I don't like the line between his eyes as it makes him look like he's wearing glasses but it's probably not going to be that noticeable once it's on a shelf so no big deal.

That Perceptor is soooo close to being perfect. And then they **** it up by giving him heroic proportions instead of making him look a bit more dumpy.

Didn't care for Perceptor in the cartoons and was going to add him to my collection anyway. I may pass because that head sculpt is bad.

Yeah, what's with the wide chest and shoulders? Looks like most douchebags at the gym that skip leg day 100% of the time.
Proto was great, but not this. Luckily, I never cared for him to be honest. Cancelled.

Probably the best Perceptor we're going to get, and the price is right. I had the figure as a kid, so I've got some extra nostalgia at play, but I'm keeping him.

I had Perceptor as a kid but I'm passing on this release. It'll probably be the best one we see of him but I think I'm going to hold out for more Decepticons.

Eek, that blue on Perceptor looks nasty, really cheap and nasty. I have this one on order and all paid up because I really liked the grey proto pics. That'll teach me to pre-order before final colour pics are up!

Perceptor looks fine to me.
As for XTransbots' response to the QC issues... that's nice and all, but I'm still suspicious. I worry that it's too late to make significant changes, and they're worried about people cancelling orders.
I guess the bottom line is that they've given me no reason to trust them yet. Even the positive reviews have some troubling issues.
Besides, I'm not terribly worried about this instantly selling out - there will be plenty of them available upon release via eBay and what not, and if it is a hit, they'll no doubt do a second run. People are saying this has the potential to be "the next Quakewave", but I didn't have a problem getting him months after release at retail price.

No chance it will be the next Quakewake, as Shockwave was a minor, forgettable character in the cartoon, and totally unnecessary on display.
