"The bad cap does not come with a Human counterpart"

Typo Bad "cop".

I so need the 'Cade set...

Seeing this, I now realise something: We need more!

Human Alliance Jolt with Elita-One/Flareup and Leo,
Human Alliance Jazz with one of Sam's parents, I suppose,
Human Alliance Ice Cream Twins with the other parent,
Human Alliance Sideways with Alice,
Human Alliance Scorponok with the two soldiers from the first movie,
Human Alliance Ravage with Reedman.

Come on, which one of those doesn't sound good?

Looks like the switched the colours for Arcee and Chromia.

Mudflap looks cool. Barricade, meh.

HOLY **** MUST... HAVE... BARRICADE!!!!! I'VE BEEN WANTING HIM SINCE I SAW THE FIRST PICTURE OF HIM. NOW I REALLY REALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR HIM!!!! AND YES, MORE THAN ALL OF YOU, IF YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED!

No offence dude, but was there really any need?

Maybe it's just me but Barricade really doesn't look to be any better than the deluxe version, as far as accuracy goes at least. I kind of feel this way towards all of the human alliance figures so far...

My other comment about Barricade has been changed. I don't want him anymore.

Dang it, I'm underwhelmed by HA Barricade. The Deluxe class figure has better proportions in my eyes and the HA version's legs are just too darn stumpy. I'm hoping very hard that it's just due to a bad photo angle. The chest is also a bit too small for my liking. The head sculpt looks great, though.

I like HA Mudflap but I'm concerned about the durability of the upper arms as they look fairly thin. Chromia looks cool. I'm very much liking the look of Mudflap's lower leg configuration.

Who would have thought in a million years the guy who portrays 'Simmons' would get his own action figure?

Nevertheless, gettin' both of them.

Not really wanting...

If they did something G1 in this size, detail, articulation, and with a human fig, I'd be good.

WOW Mudflap and Barricade look totally awesome!! hmmm..I wonder if Frenzy has a mech-alive middle finger? lol

Barricade looks... less than stellar. His chest is just one solid piece, it doesn't fold or split like the other HA 'Formers. And the grays in the arms and legs look odd, like they are a "warm," almost brownish, gray. A 'cool,' blue-er gray would probably be better suited.
And his face somehow looks flat, but I think it may just be Frenzy's legs giving the impression that Barricade's head is on one of those square panel things his Legends/FAB/Cyber Slammer toys have.

I second this!!

HA has been the biggest disappointment so far, and it looks like it isn't going to change.

I'm sorry, but Barricade is just looking worse and worse to me...
Why would HA be a disappointment? Have you actually played with BB and Skids? Sure Sideswipe was lackluster but the rest are good.
AND WTF IS WITH THEM COLORING ARCEE BLUE AND CALLING HER CHROMIA AND COLORING CHROMIA RED AND CALLING HER ARCEE?!?!?!?!?!

Defnitely, get hasbro on those other HA figures. I really like... well.. all of them. These look decent to.

I like the paint job. HA wise I only bought HA BB from a sale, and it kinda came free.

Pretty much on the fence about 'Cade. On the one hand, I need someone to pose for a fight scene with the HA Bumblebee I've got, but on the other hand, he doesn't look all that proportionate. Love the alt mode, though, and the attention to accuracy where the glass covers for the headlights disappear in bot mode. Still, I'm not really digging the bot mode due to the funky proportions.

And what's with all the mud brown coloring on his arms and legs? He was all black, white and chrome in the movie.

BTW, can anyone confirm if that left hand of his can convert back into a normal hand instead of just staying in "spiked wheel" mode? It looks possible from the picture, but I can't really tell.

I didn't want to comment on the colour of HA Barricade because, let's face it, promo photos and even photos of the production figures after being released don't usually convey the colours properly.

Now that I'm looking at the photos more, I'm afraid HA Barricade's alt mode looks stumpy and cartoony compared to the Deluxe class figure as well as the better proportioned alt modes of HA BB and Sideswipe.

I don't have much hope for the chest as it does look like one big block but I'm hoping that the arms and legs are at least partially off due to bad photographing. Looking at how Barricade's feet look like they're pointing towards each other a bit, it doesn't seem like the figure is posed very well for the photo. I hope that when we get better photos of the figure that it looks better proportioned.

Why on earth didn't they give us Simmons with Skids? He actually drove Skids in the movie! Grah! I suppose one could buy both Skids and Mudflap and swap drivers. Evil scheme'd.

Barricade looks kinda weak in bot mode, like a Fast Action Battler. The chest is very plain, the colors are strange. He's just "off". Might have to pass.

If the humans looked better I'd be all over this line. Simmons looks pretty good but the others...hmm.

Wouldn't mind seeing some G1 humans at this size: Spike, Carly, Ginrai, Lightfoot etc.

So is Mudflap a unique mold or is he kinda like Alternators Meister compared to Sideswipe?

Chromia looks great, way better than Arcee that came with Skids. I hope they fix Barricades colors for the final release, the proportions don't bother me so much.
