Dead heat is Drive's version of Gaim's Jinba forms. so it will appear in the late teens/early twenties, basically Jan/Feb.

Formula is Drive's Kachidoki/Midseason. it will appear in the mid to late twenties, so March.

Drives final form will appear in the mid to late thirties like kiwami. april/may

essentially bandai has changed the form distribution somewhat.
instead of
Base form -> Minor form changes -> Mid season upgrade -> Final upgrade
its now
Base form -> Minor Form changes -> New year form -> Mid season upgrade -> Final upgrade



so Gaim was
Orange arms -> Pine/Ichigo/Suika -> Jinba Lemon/Cherry/Peach -> Kachidoki -> Kiwami

and Drive is currently
Speed -> TireKoukans/Type Wild/Technique -> Dead-heat -> Formula -> Unknown Final form name

Well if we look back at OOO we know Shauta debuted after Tajador. That doesn't necessarily mean order = power. Plus, like everyone's pointing out, Gaim threw everyone for a loop. I think it just goes to show that they should've given Baron a legit power-up instead of just Duke's Lemon Energy Arms. Then Gaim might not have had 2 in a row.
