Something like the Jizaitoys figure, preferably

Exactly that! Those looked perfect. Although those are pretty expensive these days aren't they? That and I have zero modeling or painting skill.

I like the idea of the updated cassette bots. I don't like the idea of paying all that money for a tiny figure.

I will reserve judgement on these until I see more actual pictures and maybe a review or two.

Thanks Oilspill for the clarification. I have high hopes for these guys although right now it looks like lazerbeaks proportions are way off. If worse comes to worse I'll hunt down Hasbro's Wheelie on eBay.

I hope these guys have the same articulation as the Shadow Warrior. Huge selling point for me.

All definite maybes for me.

I like my PE warriors, but they are so, so small.

I'll have to think about these for a bit, and see the final pics.

AWESOME. I think its awesome all of these other companies are making add ons for the transformers brand. But now that we have a lot of them why cant anyone make classics scale mini figures with some articulation of spike and daniel the way they were in transformers the movie. Why not make some of the human characters that were also in generation one. Why not make the soldiers from the transformers movie. Im not talking about human alliance or screen battles. Im talking about in scale figures with classics and transformers movie delux figures. Human figures with arm and leg movements. They can be around 1 and half inches. Ive seen others companies do it(matchbox).They keep talking about how humans are a part of the story but they never make any. It kind of makes the hwole transformers line incomplete. Well for me and some others I have spoken too. So if anyone from the third party companies or hasbro is reading this then come and make some humans. And yes I know they have made a gen1 scale spike and sparkplug. But they seem like they should be bigger.

These will probably be too small for me, much like the Shadow Warriors.. the only similar scaled figures I shell out $50+ for are Mini-cons.

It's been my experience that this piece fits perfectly if you attach it to the post early in he transformation, right after you flip down the head to expose the post in the first place. It seems the tricky part if getting the post to stay lined up to attach the pistol/handle; this is much easier before you attach the piledrives/gunbarrels.
