BBTS have put up preorder listings for some upcoming Transformers Adventure releases.
TAV-57 Secret Character (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK12382&mode=retail)
TAV-58 Windstrike & Sideswipe (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK12383&mode=retail)
TA-59 Ratchet (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK12384&mode=retail)
TAV-60 Bisk (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK12385&mode=retail)
TAV-61 God Optimus Prime Micron Set (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK12381&mode=retail)
TAV-62 Secret Character (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=TAK12386&mode=retail)
TAV57-60 are estimated for an October release by BBTS
while the last two are estimated for November
Windstrike & Sideswipe is the battle pack version of Sidewipe with the Minicon Partner Windstrike like the battle pack announced by Hasbro. However, unlike Hasbro this Sideswipe will be in his standard show colours while the Sideswipe from Hasbro's battle pack will be a white "Alpine" colour version.
Ratchet and Bisk are the warrior versions. based on the pictures on BBTS Bisk is barely changed (might be a different shade of red?) but a better clearer picture may show some more details later. Ratchet appears to have more paint apps on his chest, including his collar and the headlights under the fake window.
God Optimus Prime appears to be the large "Hyper Surge" toy getting a re-release with a new staff acessory and the Tricerashot and Dragonus minicons as well as his Aerobolt minicon from the previous release. all three minicons appear to be able to combine with his staff to form a larger weapon. only a greyscale prototype is shown so no indictation of how the colours may differ from the individual releases or the previous Takara release of Hyper Surge Prime
the two secret characters are intersting.
TAV-62 is listed for 29.99, the same price as Ratchet and Bisk, as well as the Windstrike & Sideswipe pack so it could be another battle pack release, or a warrior. (possibly a takara release of Scattorspike or the Paralon retool for Scoponok that the RiD App leaked a while back)
TAV-57 however is listed for 54.99 meaning whatever it is, it's bigger (or features more in it) than just a warrrior or battle pack.
it's listed as TAV-57 so likely isn't another VS pack or a Deployer/Micron Shooter, but I really have no idea what this could be. it's possible it'll be another large Takara exclusive figure like the large Optimus Prime toys they released before.
SDCC is soon right? maybe Hasbro will reveal some new RiD figures that would fit these mystery Takara releases maybe even something season 3/ TV movie related.
