okay so we got repaints on bumblebee & skids And then we have road buster & were getting a lead foot and later on we will get soundwave but will we get a (mudflap,sideswipe, marage/or dino and a new mold of bumblebee that looks like the bumblebee in tf3?

Technically Sideswipe's already been repainted as a Target exclusive and I doubt they'd spent the money to make a new corvette mold. Mudflap is possible, as they're always looking to milk molds. Mirage is possible, but even then that's a stretch. Doubt they'd make a new Bumblebee.

I thought Hasbro said they'd release Soundwave and Leadfoot and that was it.

LOL. Never doubt Hasbro's willingness to make another Bumblebee repaint.

My list stops at Soundwave and Leadfoot as well, then it's curtains. A Mudflap repaint is a bit unlikely, as the vehicle mode is an outdated concept now (the Beat, Skids, was chosen instead of the Trax, Mudflap. Look at Cyberverse) and who would the motorcycle be?

noo noo noo im not talking about repaints im talking about new molds for the characters such as sideswipe and bumblebee etc.

Well, it doesn't look likely. I'd love to be wrong if they produced some more Decepticons.

I doubt there'll be any more HA figures in the DOTM line, but there will probably be another Movie line afterwords, similar to HFTD, and there will probably at least be a Mudflap remold of Skids and a DOTM remold of Bumblebee.

I dont know about that, But I think what we need is a human alliance Sideways W/ Alice. That would be sick. Like actual flip out saws on each arm and Giant sniper rifle sick. Still though, To re-do bumblebee, IMO They would have to re-do the new chest design, New paint apps, New Window(S) And an entirely new set of weaponry, preferably with an included right hand?
On another note, Mudflap seems unlikely, due to the vehicle mold, I mean, they can't just remold skids a new mudflap head, give him orange stripes, and call it a day, I mean, theres much more to his design then that.
I personally would love an updated vehicle mode for sideswipe, along with less kibble for his bot mode, wich would be a givin, seeing as how the roof is gone, and the car is scrawnier now.
Id'e also jump at a human alliance MIRAGE! I mean, He's just an awesome char! Like Sideswipe's role in ROTF, He was the coolest backround bot evar! I mean, he was sooo awesome! Also, unlike in the book, He doesn't die! TF4 could have him, but might not, due to the fact that he suffers from ROTF Jolt syndrome. (INSERT PRODUCT PLACEMENT FOR AUTOMOTIVE BRANDS HERE)
All in all, Human alliance souundwave looks good, bumblebee's, well, bumblebee, and skids and mudflap were NOT in the film, so toys in this scle BEFORE a topsin seem like a bit of a stretch. Not bumblebee though. there's always room for bumblebee.
My own personal Idea? Human Alliance Jolt with (GENERIC HUMAN NAME), due to the fact that the only other available human is leo spitz, I think a random human would work better. Though, if they ever did make one, knowing hasbro, they'de make it with him... On board for a jolt figure though.

His vehicle mode in DOTM is the same as Skids's vehicle mode.

What I'm really hoping for in the HA line in a '74 Camaro Bumblebee to go with my HA Barricade.

The $29.99 Human allegiance TF toy line ain't doing so great in stores. because hasbro is literally killing the toy line by throwing bumblebee re-releases & now bumblebee repaints in stores faces.

the DOTM $29.99 Human allegiance bumblebee's & mudflaps aren't moving in stores. their major shelf warmers. they just keep pilling up on the shelves.

Hasbro should re-name this line "BUMBLEBEE".

The chances of stores ordering newer assortment waves when their still stuck with previous wave one,seems slim to none.

AT best We'll luck out at the christmas season buying months in america. when stores over order on toys regardless if they've got un-soldable shelf/peg warmers. The best chance for stores to order HA Roadbuster & HA soundwave is between the christmas season months of september 2011 thru the 3rd week of december 2011.

ya know i was thinking if they released MP-10 Optimus in the states he could be released as a Human Alliance figure, although with a much higher price than $30

I mean the bot' mode is different. That, and the vehicle is not supposed to be the same as the car from the second movie. it's a different car entirely, skid's car design is just closer to it.

Since this is the human allegiance thread.

last night I saw a thread on either TFW2005 or the allspark about TRU.com havin $29.99 Roadbuster on the site. So ofcause I jumped at the chance to order one quickly before it sold out.

It's a royal pain trying to find $29.99 HA Roadbuster in stores. due to wave one dotm bumblebee & skids or mudflap clogging shelves/pegs.

I just checked the TRU.com web site. as of 3:00 pm est THEY STILL have $29.99 HA Roadbuster in stock on the site. so if you need him hurry up before it sells out.

I believe it is a real shame what Hasbro is doing with this line. It has so much potential to be successful if they would put some new designs into it. How wonderful would it be to see an HA release of Ratchet and Mirage (Dino). Then follow up with a wave with Wheeljack and Sideways. Wave 3 with vintage Camaro BB and Barricade (retool with two hands and the interragator headlights). Also, if Hasbro could retool Bee and Sideswipe to match the DOTM designs they would sell way better than what we got.

I guess thats why I couldnt work for Hasbro. Too many new molds in my wishlist wouldnt be cost effective. Guess I can always dream....

You can see that in the movies, but the people only want them cause they movie focuses on them.

I'd say a little research done by Hasbro would see..... Bumblebee is mostly just sitting there. Yes...yes, people buy him. But not as much as there throwing out. "common sense.... not so common" Or perhaps a little blame could go towards the stores that order them. But then again, why pack 3 bumblebees to a case of 8(using the target exclusives for example)?

Because bumblebee's freekin bumblebee.

... Well I guess I missed that.... Either way, I would only buy HA Roadbuster and Leadfoot if they make Topspin, which seems unlikely now , so I'll stick with the deluxe's. I would love to see a HA Dino or Wheeljack, but even that seems unlikely... man the DOTM line has been dissapointing

Sorry, I think I ment Skids.

DOTM, I meant to say. Are you still finding ROTF HA? I see ROTF Mudflaps going for over $60 on ebay and the like? Just got DOTM HA Skids and like him a lot. Now I really want the Mudflap I passed on for a long time.
