Wouldn't it be cool if each movie toy came with a human figure toy from the film!, I mean I know we all really just want the robot but perhaps the human element would add a new level to the playability! You could even have battle scene sets! for example the Hoover dam/Megatron set, Downtown/final battle, it would just make the whole line alot more in keeping with other movie toy lines like Star Wars!

I always wanted there to be Spike and Sparkplug figures etc... when G1 was out!

There's also SCF figurines of Spike and Daniel.

In all honesty, I wouldn't expect Hasbro to jump on the in-scale-human-minifigure bandwagon anytime soon - they seem to get flak from fans who still don't understand why every TF cartoon or Earth-bound TF comic has to have humans in it. I think the closest we're gonna get on that front with the toys is the SWTFs.

Oh, and i just remembered about the little scientist guy that comes with MP 03 Starscream.

Maybe Kremzeek would count too for Mp05 Megatron? :-?

If they made them to scale with whatever vehicle they came with (say Deluxe and larger), most of them would be too small for sale, as they would be choking hazards.

If they made them into their own line of action figures (say Star Wars size) then you would have plenty of people complaining about scale and what-not. I'm also not sure how good their sales would be.

Finally if they made them in scale to the real gear robots line, they would be bigger than Barbie/Action Man figures, people who love things to be in scale would spontaneously combust from their rage, and they would sit on the shelves for years to come.

right on brother.. right on..

honestly i think they should just add the human characters to the gi joe line and be done with it..

scale is always an issue and always will be. just make some joes!!

I'd buy them. Much rather see that than another repaint that has jack to do with the movie.

This guy has really good ideas and good taste.

He must have an IQ off the scale.

Cheers!!!

Before Hasbro can even think of producing human toys, they will have to fix the scale of their toys first.

Bonecrusher at half the size of Prime?

Bumblebee at equal height with Brawl?

Ratchet taller than Blackout?

Starscream smaller than Prime?

Geez! These are all wrong.

They have to fix the robot/car scale first, before they can decide what appropriate scale the humans will be.

God forbid Sam alighting from Starscrem F-22 Raptor, only to be squashed flat under the wheels of Bumblebee Camaro.

Or Megan arriving on an Arcee Motorbike, and beat the crap out of the midget Bonecrusher.

Love the idea of human character included!
Size problem, can make the human character like the disappearing driver in Vayager Prime, so you don't have to take them out when transform or holding them in place. An extra standing human figure can be included, if kids want to play with them. :grin:

Yeah but if you mix and match the Autobots you could get a really close scale match, it's just the decepticons that cause the problems, apart from Leader Megatron, Leader Brawl, Deluxe Barricade and maybe Scorponok, the rest of the line is too small!

With this all in mind, a figure a bit bigger than a Lego figure would be pretty good scale, as for likenesses, they could always go for a more stylized comic look to the faces!

Do you think the voices of TWO cybertronian brothers can be loud enough to convince Hasbro to consider making an anatomically correct Meggan Fox toy?

I can make an Allspark for you. But it will be expensive.

i'll definitely get oone if they will create meagan fox with kinky clothes! :grin:

maybe they need to contact action figure companies that create human figures like neca or mcfarlane but im afraid that will create a conflict with the liscense...

by **n_tel_ekt** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 1:00 pm

Horrible Idea! Not really, but it would just complicate things... If they did the human would only be in scale to the vehicle it came with. and as someone mentioned, too big/small in most cases... Plus Hasbro already cuts every corner they can to reduce cost... Imagine how much MORE EXPENSIVE the Alternators line would be if they came with lil gi joe guys. Its just not worth the extra playability, too easy to lose, and would proable add to costs...

Sheesh, can we get used to the scale problems already? They've been a part of the whole thing since '84.

That said, I'm gonna go ahead and say they human figures wouldn't sell that well on their own... It would be nice if they came with a Transformer they could be in scale with... Say perhaps a Sigma-Six sized Sam with a to-scale version of Frenzy to chase him around the parking lot.
