Thanks to board member Gaokaiser, we got news that site sponsor Robot Kingdom has announced some up coming preorders for Takara’s Transformers Adventure and Q-Transformers Toy lines between January and March 2016.
First up, we have four warrior class figures that were revealed during New York Comic Con: Fracture, Megatronus, Thunderrhoof, and Quillfire. (Available from sponsor TFSource as well). Following those are new figures announced for TakaraTomy’s counterparts to the One-step and Three-Step Changers figures. These include the first Springload figure planned for released to date.
Over on Q-Transformers front, we have two new figure announced. They are QTF-09 Ratchet (repaint of Ironhide with a new head), and QTF-10 Grimlock (repaint of Bumblebee with a new head).

Hey no.worries.: I thought i.should say something because I wouldnt want you to order it from a non canceling place overseas, get it and be super bummed lol. Actually id be interested in seeing a rid Mega one step bee. You said you saw it as a preview? Like when the show was announced? I'd like to see that
BattleUpSaber
My mistake, got the wrong One-step mold(TBF, they do look the same-.-). My initial point still stands nonetheless.
dCon
Agreed. I'm definitely still getting them because the thing I like most about.collecting, is collecting characters from the show. I like toys and collector pieces too, but there's something about getting characters that are and look like the show I'm currently watching. I'm sure later down.the timeline there will probably be better molds of these characters once the show is over. And I'll probably get them, but I'll remember back when I got the first ones as a more exciting experience.

Bring on the proper photos of these guys.
dCon
Its not.the same mold. Its a remold of the aoe drift one step/one step sideswipe
Preordered all the cons including springload

I don't normally pay attention to RID toys but the new Quillfire and Thunderhoof look really cool. When will those be in stores?
WhiteMocha
A shame Springload's alt mode changed. The little buggy thing is fitting (feels Frogger-ish, which works), but I really dug his little 40's-esque pickup truck mode in the show.
Slingshot
Springload! I can't wait to see painted pictures!
BattleUpSaber
That's the Deluxe.
Shmoptimus Prime
I don't know the character, but that Fracture figure looks pretty sweet. Is it a regular deluxe or one of those other, terrible gimmick ones?
BattleUpSaber
New Q TFs are always welcome. Hoping to get Ratchet and the Seeker 3 pack.
Dlx Fracture looks good but idk what the differences are between the Hasbro and Takara.
I'm a bit disappointed that their Megatronus has the regular face instead of the mask but oh well. Maybe they'll have a Leader sized one coming down the road to accompany their Optimus.
Give us accurate paint apps for Thunderhoof and Quillfire pls.
That Big Thunderhoof looks good, as I'm sure their Drift will too.
One-steps Springload? Looks Ok, but the frog mode is too kibbly for my taste and that alt mode looks wrong. I'll reserve judgement until better pics.
I'm suprised no one has talked about that Bumblebee who's a retool of the AOE Mega One-step Bumblebee. The retooling into RID Bee looks good, but what's strange is that a retool of AOE Mega Bee into RID Bee was 'previewed' way back when Hasbro started the RID line, as a sillouette of the mold as RID Bee was used in promo images for the RID mobile app. To see it get release now, but form Takara instead of Hasbro is rather baffling.
Also, unless I'm mistaken this is the first use of the mold by Takara as they didn't release the AOE one. So this is all strange.

I'm happy to see more Adventures releases but for the most part, Im passing unless Takara releases Megatronus with optional faceplate that can be switched back and forth.
As for the QT line, I'm going to have to get that Ratchet to go my Ratchet shelf.

Preorders for the TAV line up at BBTS.
Robogeek28
So I'm guessing preorders for the new TAV figures won't be going up on Japanese sites until December at least.
Gonna be a long wait.
NemiMonkey
OH that Grimlock will be mine.
Kind of surprised Takara is already listing the new pred molds.
Robogeek28
Indeed, I'll be needing to get that one for my fiancée.
Deluxe Thunderhoof, Fracture, and Quillfire will be mine.
Feralstorm
Thunder WHO?
Bakuformer00
That Springload looks awesome!

Looking forward to Thunderhoof, Quillfire and Fracture. One thing I can say for RiD is that the designs for the Cons especially were very creative and VERY cool.
I'm hoping we get a Voyager of the Megatronus toy down the line too, a very cool design though (I'm evil) I honestly want it to kitbash into Xaaron ^_^

OMG! The Ratchet has a red helmet and white crest! Fantastic!
