Some images of upcoming Takara Transformers product are trickling in from the Japanese Christmas Toy Trade Fair. Game Watch has uploaded a handful of images that TFW2005 boards member Type-R was nice enough to compile for us.
In the batch of images we’ve got some good looks at the upcoming TAV-33 Optimus Prime, various Transformers Adventure product including the Stepper we saw revealed earlier this week, a mix of Q-Transformers, Unite Warriors Devastator, Masterpiece Tracks and Roadrage (not sure why Ironhide is not present – possible 2016 release?), and to round it out there also some images of Hello Kitty and Evangelion crossover figures.
Check them out after the jump, enjoy!

Yes…that'll do nicely.

Nope. Usually the Cybertron Satellite stuff is only purchasable in store in person.
I can't recall anything they sold be available online in Japan and very much not in any of those sites you listed (it would be a Japanese language site if at all).

So no chance for AE, HLJ, NY, Amiami, etc. like MP-18B and MP-11T?
AnonymousDwell
Why, hello there, Devastator. In In 3 – 4 short (yet agonizingly long) months, you shall at last be mine.
Edit to add: Is that a SNOOPY ULTRA MAGNUS? What wonderful arcane baddassery is this!? Please explain!
Edit again to add: Ah, it's apparently called QTC05 Snoopy. I knew it was Choro Q but didn't know what it was and couldn't find it. Found it still up for preorder at only ONE place. Robotkingdom. I grabbed it. I love me some Snoopy!

Is there a release date for 21R?

Like this, we had the news post somewhere in the past week
rapid_fire
interesting, looked it up and found more pics of robot mode, wonder what dinomode looks like. Other then the legs and arms don't match, it actually looks pretty good.

Info on Cybertron Satellite:
Cybertron Satellite – Transformers Wiki
Exclusive toys are only sold in the stores participating in the Cybertron Satellite promotion.
Bear in mind that this is only for the Japanese release of MP-21R. Based on the pre-orders that are available and the price, it appears to be a regular release outside of Japan, distributed by Hasbro Asia.

What is a Cybertron Satellite Exclusive?
Digilaut
Wouldn't worry about that too much. Purple is horrible to catch right in photos, and seeing how the chest and gun are plastic but the hands are painted, it's probably a trick of the light. We've seen earlier pics where they matched up, right?
Mixmaster
Also the Nissan logo on Prowl's, Streak's, Smokescreen's, Silverstreak's, Bluestreak's and Ironhide's boxes is the modern one.
Sy-Rein
He's scheduled for release in Japan on Sept. 26th.

Is it just me, or do Devy's hands look lighter/pinkish than the rest of the purple on the bot? There seems to be a real contrast with the gun — if so, I hope that is fixed by December.
Also not crazy about the silver "wristwatches" on the forearm, I will probably have to mix and match those parts with my Hasbro Devy.
robh
Because it's a Halloween toy. . HLJ has it up for orde and an October release date. I noticed it on TFS too
Type-R
Cybertron Satellite exclusive in Japan.
Therefore, no reason to display at trade fair for other businesses/distributors.
Rakzo
Yep, it's a retool from Fall of Cybertron Grimlock.
rapid_fire
Is that a Voyager Grimlock?
BattleUpSaber
Supreme Optimus and Bumblebee are badass. So much wonderful retooling that Hasbro never gives us. Definitely prefer those two over the regular releases. Heck the new shoulders on Optimus help the proportions look less off than before.
Don't think we've seen the Takara ver of the RID Legions before now. Looks good and more show accurate. I'll be getting the 4 pack of Megatronus and the 3 Autobots even though I already have Strongarm.
Amused by the paper standins for Drift and Jazz.
Black Shadow, Stepper, Rumble, Frenzy, Devastator, Femcons and MPs continue to look fantastic.
For that matter the One-steps look good too…
Dammit Takara.

I don't see MP Red Bee, is he 2016 then?
Slingshot
I need that Remolded OP. That thing is glorious.
And those Evangelion crossover figures are cute and awesome!
