I personally would like to see a HA Rampage complete with Sam's parents and ravage - any one else agree?

For the TF3 - I really want to see the Ferrari 360 in the human alliance line!

We haven't had one of these threads for about 6 weeks! Sorry, you're new so don't know these things. In case it hasn't been said: WELCOME TO SEIBERTON!

I want more Decepticons to balance things out. Seeing as they gave us Barricade two years after he disappeared and Jazz two and a half years after his death maybe Sideways will feature. For TF3, if HA continues, there are the Stunticons...

I'd like to see them branch out from the Live-action film and give us something like Hot Rod and Daniel. Adult Spike and someone.

I would imagine they will keep this a "car" only line, so for the time being that would limit them to Sideways with Alice and maybe Jolt with Leo.

I'd be pretty happy to see a HA Sideways!

Mon Aug 16, 2010 10:07 am

I'd like a HA Sideways. I'd also like a HA Ironhide, but he'd be absolutely huge in scale with the others. Jolt with better whips and range of motion would be really great too.

Jolt and Sideways would both be fantastic additions to the HA line. Rampage is sketchy, but I'm sure I'd buy it. Ditto if they did Scorponok.

Since Hasbro re-deco'd a number of the deluxe movie toys into characters who did not appear in the films, would anyone be interested in seeing those same characters re-deco'd in the HA line? Personally, I wouldn't mind getting Cliffjumper, Smokescreen, or Swerve in this scale. Not sure who their human counterparts might be, though.

No. Not at all. Let's not flood EVERY line with repaints.

I don't think I would possibly buy a redo of any of the HA molds. They are just too expensive for me to justify it. Also, each mold except for BB is too well associated with its movie character. Barricade has to be Barricade. Jazz is Jazz...the twins have to be the twins imo. And as much as I like Sideswipe, I would never buy another copy of the mold. It has not poseability, and the back kibble is horrendous. Hasbro could get away with a Cliffjumper repaint of BB, but that is seriously the only one I think would be acceptable as a repaint.

Side note: So far I consider the line to be pretty good overall. Barricade and Jazz are my favorites by far though. I am especially impressed by how the Jazz figure was executed. My god, that thing is just about perfect. I think that is the only absolute must-have from the line. As far as molds go, I think the Skids figure was very well done too. Very good figure.

Hasbro actually had a Sideswipe re-deco on display at SDCC. (Don't remember what it's official name was, but it had a lot of black accents.) And they just re-released Bumblebee after giving Sam a small wardrobe change. So it would appear to me that Human Alliance is no safer from their penchant for repaints than any other segment of the line. I guess my point is that if they're gonna do it anyway, they may as well give us some different characters instead of the inevitable half-dozen repaints of Bumblebee.

But I agree fully on your assessment of HA Jazz. I fell in love with that thing the moment the first images popped up online. Since I got him a couple of weeks ago, he's quickly become the jewel of my collection. I think he just might be my favourite TF figure of all time (which is another reason why I wouldn't mind seeing Hasbro find new uses for that mold).

Human Alliance i would like to see:

Rampage with Sams parents or one of his parents or Ravage.

Sideways with Alice or maybe Wheelie

Jolt with Leo

Bonecrusher with the Hologram man or with the mom and son in the Cadillac when Bcrusher and prime went over the highway and landed in front of them. Just kidding..

A bigger upscale version of Scorponok with US soldiers

Blackout with either a more up scaled version of Scorponok or the Hologram guy.

I was thinking about a HA Fallen, but his voyager class is big enough and dont need another mold of that figure anyway.

Too summit it all up, YES there needs to be more Decepticons in the HA line if it lives long enough.

I know HA Sideswipe is coming back out as Shadow Blade SS with Mikela, but has Hasbro fixed the half-of-a car on his back issue? Just curious..

From what I recall, there were no changes to Sideswipe's sculpt or transformation. So yeah, he's still basically a shell-former with the front half of the car on his back.

g1 bumblebee with spike

I'm just going to echo the general consensus and say more Decepticons and more non-Movie characters*. Particularly characters that have little/none and/or poor existing toys.
*Inevitable G1 Jazz repaint doesn't count.

Rampage with Sams parents or one of his parents or Ravage.

If Hasbro's going to make another Voyager+ Constructicon, I'd rather see Scrapper, Overload, or Hightower, not one we have two Legends and a Deluxe of already.

Hasbro can't use the beetle anymore as VW won't allow their designs to be used for anything associated with war, even if it's for a good guy.

oops didnt know what a bunch of hippies

I honestly would love to see a HA skids and mudflap (ice cream truck mode) packaged with either simmons or the guy that played sams roommate... i honestly dont remember the guys name i just think since the twins ripped on him it make sense to package them together.

the only other option which i think would be cool is ratchet but i cant think of a good match in terms of human character... maybe the parents or the mum on her own.
