The bad news: looks like they'll cost more than the average voyager...

I'd guess Arcee could be one.
For the other, maybe Jolt or Sideswipe. It'd be nice if they were all in scale with each other and Alternators.
It also says there'll be 24 deluxes and 11 voyagers. That ROTF line is going to be huge.
TRANSFORMERS MOVIE HUMAN ALLIANCE
(Approximate retail price: $29.99; Ages 5 & up; Available: August 2009)
For the first time, the new TRANSFORMERS MOVIE HUMAN ALLIANCE collection allows kids to play with the human characters alongside the TRANSFORMERS. When the TRANSFORMERS are in vehicle mode, the human figures fit inside and can go along for the ride. When the TRANSFORMERS are in robot mode, the human figures can be positioned at different battle stations. Three different characters will be available in 2009 – complete with a 2 1/4-inch human action figure – including BUMBLEBEE and friend Sam Witwicky.
TRANSFORMERS MOVIE MEGA POWER BOTS
(Approximate retail price: $34.99; Ages 4 & up; Available: August 2009)
Taking POWER BOTS to the next level with a second mode for “mega” action! Robots include OPTIMUS PRIME and DEVASTATOR. When the DEVASTATOR POWER BOT figure is face down, he appears to be six different vehicles, but when standing upright, he is the monstrous DECEPTICON, DEVASTATOR.

I was assuming the human action figures would all be the same size, and if that were the case, they couldn't really include large characters like Optimus, and keep the same price point.

Yeah, how dare the US gov't try to protect children from the potential brain damage caused by lead paint. Who cares if kids end up retarded? It far more important for you to save a few bucks on your toys, isn't it?

Fat chance. Ironhide and Prime would have to be much larger, and more expensive.
