TakTom TF4 "Lost Age" Advance toyline

[griffin]

BBTS have listed two more Gimmick toys for the Japanese Movie line - LA12 (One Step) Stinger, LA14 (Power Battler) Battle Attack Nemesis Prime (likely a black deco).
LA12 is noted as an August release, while LA14 has a September release. No idea on what or when the LA13 will be.

It is worth noting that the regular coloured Power Battler Optimus doesn't appear to be releasing in Japan, so the black version could be the only version of that mould there.
Stinger is likely to be the same as the Hasbro version.

BBTS have also given names to AD29 (Voyager Slog) and AD30 (Voyager Drift).
Not sure if they are just guessing based on them being Voyager price-points and the last two Autobots at Voyager price-points, or, if they now know for sure it is those two.

The identities of AD18 (Voyager Decepticon), AD19 (Deluxe Autobot) and AD28 (Deluxe Dinobot) are still unknown... but AD28 is likely to be Snarl.
Since Voyager Galvatron is supposed to be AD22, it is possible that AD18 could be a Nemesis version of the Voyager Optimus.

Still waiting to see if that AD19 is the long missing Wheeljack deco/head version of Que.

Same. I'm hoping Takara re-release him in the Lost age line.

I was really lucky and got Leadfoot cheap about six months after he sold out. Really glad I got him then. The Wreckers might be harder to reissue, they have to licence the car from Chevy, the character design from Paramount and the Nascar brand also. I'd guess if they wanted to do sponsorship on them they would also have to license that (my Leadfoot looks really plain without sponsorship).

Awesome. Lockdown has a face, likes the box art from the flip changer gimmick version and sans big green button.

Be interesting how the hasbro version looks As this one looks brilliant.

I'm debating as to if I should order Lockdown. He is a movie figure that does not fit into my character rules and so I shouldn't get him. But he is a Lamborghini Aventador, my favourite car. Decisions decisions.

IMO, that's a most definite yes
