Continuing our assault of Takara news tonight, @Chohenken on Twitter has shared with us yet more images from Wonderfest Summer 2016, this time showing off a menagerie of Adventure product – most notably including the highly-anticipated Windblade! Others include Nemesis Prime, Sideswipe, and also Hyper Surge Starscream!
Check it all out after the jump!
Update: Added more pics, plus looks at Ratchet and Bisk, courtesy of @KuvoreGordon and @kudou4wd

Awesome!
I wish BBTS would hurry up and get theirs in.

That Bisk and ratchet look great! (Except for ratchet's vehicle mode)
Can't wait to get them
It was hard to tell the differences between Hasbro and takara Bisk based on early pics
But the In Hand pics have made it clear.
*hasbro ver: blue pupils with orange eyeballs. Takara ver: blue eyeballs
*hasbro ver: Unpainted orange eye stalks. Takara ver: silver painted eyestalks
*hasbro ver: unpainted orange belly. Takara ver: belly is painted the darker maroon-ish colour
*hasbro ver: unpainted black pelvis. Takara ver: blue tech line details painted on pelvis.
*hasbro ver: unpainted section on the inside side of claws. Takara ver: same section is painted black with blue line details.
Beyond that I imagine the shades of the paint and plastic used will likely differ slightly
At this point I can't help but wonder what is next for the adventure line.
What will TAV63 be? What about beyond there? Is this the end? Will they start releasing combiner force right away? Will they have more of their own stuff? Scavengers? repaints? Another transformers GO! like series?

This will be my MTME Ratchet, but this mold still makes me mildly sad. Nicely articulated and everything, but…
…with a little more effort those boxed hands could be avoided.

Still waiting for Bisk to be released in the UK

Bisk does look really nice, though I'll probably go with Hasbro.
I still hope for Thermidor that said.

I love the Adventure releases of the RID molds, and in most cases have opted for them over the Hasbro versions to get the more thorough paint apps. However, one thing I strongly dislike about them is those multicolored scan-stickers. Having that hint of red, green, and blue (on figures that don't have those colors elsewhere) often looks really clashy and jarring to me. I much prefer the monochrome (all red or all purple) Hasbro versions of those stickers.
Of course what I'd really like is for them not to have been slapped on at all (I'm always glad when they can just be removed without leaving a big bare circular indent). But barring that, I wish Reprolabels would release a set of alternate, nicer-looking faction symbols that had the circular backing to them. Maybe some over blue, some over black, etc. Just something nicer we could use to replace the fruit stickers. I know some are included in individual RID sets, but I'd love just a sheet of them like they do with other faction symbols.

Yes it does.

His chest seems to have an indent for the sticker, doesn't it?

When I saw the original promo pictures of the vehicle mode I assumed they were using Hasbro's as a placeholder, unfortunately I was wrong.
Murasame
Thanks, but I don't need the Jazz.

Can't wait to have mine, he'll be my MTMTE Ratchet. Now if I could only get my hands on that Origins Drift…
Thundershot
He looks better than the Hasbro but not $15 better.

I had pre-ordered Takara Ratchet hoping he would have a few more apps in vehicle mode. The minor extra details look good in robot mode, but not enough to import. I'll stick with Hasbro's and hope for some Reprolabels.

Wait, where is he vehicle mode paint? Takara y u do dis?
