Site sponsors BBTS and TFsource stopped by to let us know that they’ve posted pre-orders for a variety of upcoming TakaraTomy products.
They’ve got something for everyone; from Age of Extinction Black Knight Optimus Prime – a black repaint of the exquisitely detailed Armored Knight Prime from AOE, to the almost Masterpiece-level Combiner Wars Ultra Magnus, to Robots in Disguise Jazz and Sideswipe done up in grand Takara style with additional paint apps. There is also a Transformers Adventure Optimus Prime who is a new mold, with sound effects and other new gimmicks.
Other noteworthy new reveals include Q Transformers versions of Shockwave, Soundwave, and the three Seekers, plus a new line of Q Transformers crossovers, featuring Hello Kitty, and a series of three releases based on the three main mecha from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I like that runabout, happy i found this
NemiMonkey
If these are scaled like the rest of the line it'd look mighty weird. Normally these guys are pretty small. At best they'd look good on a commander class/legends scaled fig.
Afterburner
They have managed to make the first RiD 2 toy that actually looks like the kind of quality figure that was mostly common from 1994-2010. I still want to see more though, I have become skeptical. But clear windows and wheel paint is a great start.
I'm hoping their Jazz looks like their United Jazz. An incredible upgrade over the Hasbro version.
H.E.X.-BRAVE
one would wonder what happens if you slap those Evangelion units' heads onto a normal proportioned Optimus figure……… & Hello Kitty too……
SunSwipe5
I'm still bummed that there's no QT Ratchet though. Poor Autobot CMO gets no love
I did order everyone else but the Seekers. They look like freaking lightning bugs,lol. Though I may cave on TC, since he's my favorite Seeker.
Autovolt 127
Oh I would have loved that.
and sometimes Hasbro.
seriously Chrome is not really a luxury that's needed.
I actually want him to be canon out of spite.
Shin Densetsu
That big ass TAV Optimus leaves me happy I skipped the deluxe, hell yea and it even has a trailer section that opens up! Wish we had better pics of the weapons, I think I see the prime axe and Dreadwing's chainsaw missle axe thing.
Cheebs
If that is the only toy we get of that moose guy…
Not good enough!
optimusmegas
lol wow…and the craziest never gonna happen wish to takara award goes to notramjet97.
it's getting repainted bro do you seriously think they're going to rebuild the whole figure for the takara release?? you have better luck hoping takara is going to manufacture a deluxe CW groove JUST for their release of defensor then them making a whole new magnus to just appease 'white prime' nuts.
Fallout
that optimus is sick. love the designs but the toys suck.
Prime135
Thank you takara!!!!!! Now just give me an in scale version of Grimlock, underbite, and the rumored megatronus, and all of hasbro's shenanigans with simplification will be forgotten.
In all seriouseness that does look like a pretty great rendition of the RID prime model, and I would love to see some of the other large characters from this show tackled in a similar fashion. Rather unfortunately, I don't think we'll see this guy stateside as hasbro already has a giant Optimus prime coming out for this line.
FigureGunplaFan
Yelp, I think Minimus will be introduced to the Japanese G1 continuity…
or maybe not.
Fasttrack
That Optimus is definitely Interesting. if a little TOO big. but it looks FAR better than the warrior class. hopefully we'll hear something about a western release before it's too late to pre-order it should it turn out to be a japan exclusive.
it's nice that the deployers get both of their minicon partners for their Japanese releases. makes them a little more tempting.
GROUND Vehicon General will probably just be the Car Vehicon in the colour scheme of Jet Vehicon General more or less. (Grand and Ground are read the same in Katakana so based on this being the car type mould I'd say they actually meant it as Ground, not Grand)
more crazy crossover figs. awesome.
Slingshot
The more Evangelion the better!
HARD RAINBOW
Oh, jeez… I need to get my eyes fixed and learn how to read.
I just realized they just showed a pic Hasbros Blackjack and not the final Takara product. For some reason I thought it was Runabout. I got buttfrustrated for nothing.
I'm on a lot of allergy medication so I have an excuse. I'm not mental at all, I swear!
rosewater
Word.
Obvious Prime
That'd be really nice, I'd buy any version of the Cosmos mold honestly. Especially one that's head is molded in its color instead of being painted so it doesn't get all scratched up.
NemiMonkey
Oh man I am stoked to see what Takara does with the other legends figs. Part of me is hoping Cosmos gets a unique deco rather than a variation on his G1 self. Might be the perfect chance for another Pathfinder from Cosmos.
The Adventure stuff doesn't interest me really, but it's good to know you get 2 deployers with Fracture and Drift rather than the one like Hasbro.
Was hoping to get a regular release of Lockdown, but a screen accurate version is even better.
Just keep an eye on HLJ. They've had re-stocks of all the past QT's so chances are they probably will get more of the next wave.
Speaking of which still no QT UM huh Takara. On the other hand YAY SOUNDWAVE!!
SunSwipe5
Pre-ordered QT Cliffjumper, Magnus, Soundwave and another Bee. I'd be all over te seekers, if they didn't look like bugs. They look more like bumblebees then Bumblebee I'm gonna get Lockdown too.
