Aptom is an interesting character. Nothing was reviewed about his past and the only thing we knew about him was that he was a "Lost Number" working under Gyuot. Being a "Lost Number" means that Aptom fails to complete his processing into a preset Zoanoid and end up being processed into a Zoanoid with unusual ability.
Initially, he has this ability to mimic the weapons of other Zoanoid and to some degree the Guyver but his weapons are somewhat weak compare to the original. After his defeat in the hands of Guyver 1, Zoalord Barcus took him in and reprocess him. This reprocess change him into an entire different being. He no longer mimics but now capable of copying and improve upon the weapons of other Zoanoids he absorbed. He also gain cellular regeneration where he can regenerate any part of his body. He challenge Guyver 1 once again but was promptly defeated. Aptom swear to take revenge against Guyver 1 and went about increasing his ability by targeting and absorbing the "Hyper Zoanoid Elite Five".
This is Aptom after he has absorb 4 of the Elite 5. Basically, this form is almost the exact replica of Zx-Tole where as Zx-Tole is big and stout but Aptom is elegant and agile. Someone told me that he looks like an overgrown cockroach in this form. :P
The tentacles were from Elegen and the head beam was from Zx-Tole. There are 3 interchangable part for the forehead. The normal piece, the head beam piece and the missile piece.
These are the weapons that have been used on numerous occasion, the bio-missiles which were taken from Gastor. There are two types of them. I wonder if they are the same or they serve a different purposes.
In the series, Aptom can literally transform his whole body mass into bio-missiles! Those missiles stick out like porcupine quills.
Aptom gains the ability to fly after absorbing Zx-Tole's ability. The figures come with an identical transparent wings similiar to Zx-Tole. You will most likely need to use the stand if you want to pose him with the wings.
This is another great figure from Max Factory. It is a must have any Guyver fans out there. :D
