Official Images and Bio for HA Basics Reverb and Crosshairs

Postby El Duque » Wed Aug 03, 2011 8:11 am

Motto: "I ain't got time to bleed!"
Weapon: Gattling Gun
Hasbro has posted official images and the bios for Human Alliance Basics Reverb & Sergeant Detour and Crosshairs & Sergeant Cahnay.

REVERB and his human partner engage in recon operations and direct action against fortified DECEPTICON positions. Hovering silently past enemy lines and taking out guards and artillery is their specialty. Fast and dangerous, REVERB and Sergeant Detour are critical members of the AUTOBOT team.

REVERB and Sergeant Detour have teamed up for the ultimate in robot-human cooperation! Convert REVERB to hoverbike mode so that Sergeant Detour can make a fast getaway. When it’s time for an assault on the DECEPTICONS, convert to weapon mode, where Sergeant Detour can ride on top for still more action!

CROSSHAIRS demands that every round of ammunition used be accounted for. He is extremely careful in his targeting, not wanting to waste a single shot. His rate of fire is slow, even in the hottest combat, but his incredible accuracy more than makes up for it.

CROSSHAIRS and Sergeant Cahnay have teamed up for the ultimate in robot-human cooperation! Convert CROSSHAIRS to mech suit mode so that Sergeant Cahnay can ride safely inside. When it’s time for an assault on the DECEPTICONS, convert him to weapon mode, where Sergeant Cahnay can ride on top for still more action!

Would you want to go into battle in a mech suit that leaves the entire lower half of your body exposed?

Almost as much as I'd want to go into battle sitting on top of what appears to be an industrial sized fan.

WTF is that supposed to be?

The giant fans will make the battlefield uncomfortably chilly, forcing the Decepticons to return home to get their sweaters.

Wish they would keep some consistency between factions and characters. The RotF scout Reverb in nearly the same colors and alt mode was a Decepticon. They pull this crap a lot.

This has got to be the worst I have ever seen from this line.

New quotes for the Bios :

Reverb : "Let me go into battle and blow the enemy to death".

Crosshairs : "Hop into my exo-suit mode and watch out for your family jewels".

The worst part about the human's entire lower half being exposed is that it actually says IN THE BIO "that Sergeant Cahnay can ride safely inside". FAIL

Just the thing we needed, more repaints.

Give us a new Ratchet mold already. Preferable a Voyager or smallish leader.

to be fair, Crosshairs isn't transformed properly. at all. In any of those photos. If place in there properly, the guy's junk is well-shielded.

Reverb-WTF? Hasbro has no idea how lift works, do they? The only thing you're gonna get out of that fan setup is a violent flip. Between this guy and the Joe's GHOST Hawk, Hasbro needs to just stop with the made up flying machines.

Also, the BRIGHT RED vehicle moves silently to spy on decepticons?

Actually, to be fair, even when transformed properly, much of the human rider's body is still exposed, including his legs, arms, and the sides of his torso.

Decepticons are color blind.

Due to his rather unique birth, Grimlock has a slow but endearing speech pattern, which can easily make you forget he's Godzilla with style. And weapons.

That's exactly what the problem was with the third Matrix movie. They had giant mech suits...that gave them no shielding at all in the front. = Instant death. Now, take on the other hand the mechs in Blue Gender--that's how they should be designed.

Anyway, while these alt modes are obviously entirely impractical and even utterly silly (seriously, why would a bot turn into a mech suit for a human?), I like the Human Alliance concept, and even though it's ridiculous I like the mech suit as that's the coolest looking of the three modes. And while these Basics pale in comparison to the original full-size ones, they are to me kind of what a good Scout should be--they're more interesting than a lot of the Scouts we got in previous lines, and the engineering seems to be better, as all the parts seem to fit nice and snug together without lots of impossible to fix gaps and overly loose or tight tab holes. Plus they're all triple changers, albeit with varying success.

They aren't perfect but they're creative and have lots of play value. And I'm really happy to have a mold of that three-wheel bike from ROTF, plus a new targetmaster.
For sale: My entire Transformers and third-party collection. Includes Masterpiece, Generations, Universe, Movie, Prime, Armada/Energon/Cybertron, G1, G2, a few Japanese imports, etc. Many never opened, the rest displayed in enclosed display cases to keep the dust off. A few ads on Craigslist/OfferUp for DC/MD/VA locals, will post on boards or ebay when I have time.
