While Apelinq did not have a robot mode in the movie, there was a fan design for one and Yolopark will be using it as a basis for their officially licensed Apelinq mode kit/figure. They are going all out on this one by having extra weaponry, a lengthier model kit experience, and a magnetized base. You can even choose to give Apelinq extra hair or not. If you want the lowest price, the figure can be ordered from their website. Shipping isn't cheap though. BBTS is also importing this model kit, if you prefer to shop with them, but that inflates the price to $90.

How likely will the fan who conceptualized the bot mode be credited in some way?

Probably none since the fan is likely a profesional that's been compensated, otherwise companies don't typically make a big deal about outsourced designers unless they're a big name.
I'm more curious what this means for the upcoming leader version since this is being called an exclusive design.

The upcoming leader is why I canceled the DNA upgrade kit for Takara Primal. I am expecting Primal with just a new ape head there.
As for this, this looks amazing. I have it up for preorder on BBTS right now, but I may switch to Show-Z once it comes in stock, they were $10 cheaper on the Prime figure and free shipping on any order there is great, plus the points.

Seeing this made me want to have the dna design dk-48 ship already. It's now 3 months late. I would have loved to compare it to this since this one looks cool!

I ordered the G1 Megatron and Optimus Prime last night. Megatron is coming from Amazon, so I'll have him tomorrow. Really looking forward to these. I watched a few reviews and they look awesome. Also, Dalton says they're great, so I believe him.
I'm actually surprised I haven't seen more about Prime and Megatron.

I got the AMK Pro Megatron yesterday. He is awesome! Looks fantastic and poses well. My only complaint is I wish I could swap the faces without needing a screwdriver.

Got my Prime, and he is wonderful. And he is ready to go on the offensive
