Honestly, I'm hoping that Sideswipe looks the way he does due to the angle in which the picture was taken...it's sort of above him looking down...It makes him look like a dwarf or something, and seriously, little people scare the crap out of me...the only thing scarier would be a clown, or a dwarf in a clown cosume...I am going to reserve judgement on him until I see more pics...Skids is ok I suppose, and the Arcee bike is horrible. It will be fun to see a Barricade though.

Love the detail, but why is Sideswipe's torso so huge and his legs so small ? I hope the photo was taken from above. I vowed never to buy a figure of one of the twins, but Im not gonna lie the Skids looks much better than the deluxe version. Maybe I will consider this one if they make a mudflap to go with it. The Arcee is ugly with lack of details to me...

Arcee is just plain fugly no matter how accurate she is (in bot mode anyway).

I'm the same; only reason I don't already have deluxe versions is that I'm waiting for the HA versions to turn up.

I actually prefer this version of Arcee over the deluxe version.

Probably not, although a Optimus Prime with Major Lennox would be cool. B-)

PASS! These all suck.

Eh, I'm passin on both of 'em. The Deluxe Sideswipe, in my opinion, looks MUCH better than this one. He looks sleeker and his body is longer. This one's stubby and his arms are really wide and weird lookin'. And the Skids, I think, needs a lot more green around his next. Fill all that black up practically. And the doors? He ain't Mudflap

I like Skids but Mikaela and Arcee are not too good. I really hope Arcee is horribly mistransformed because I will be getting Skids. Also, Optimus Prime and Major Lennox would be excellent however Prime would be massive and could probably go toe to toe with Armada Unicron. He would probably cost a lot too.

Aye.. Human Alliance isn't exactly on my want list, but if there's a decent sale, or I get it as a gift.. then heck, I'm game!

by **superchook6909** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 10:20 am

I wanna see what a Human Alliance Ironhide would look like with Captain Lennox. How large would he be to keep the scale acurate to the other Transformers.... and speaking of which, how big would Optimus Prime be if they make him for Human Alliance?

I would like to see a mini Wheelie to go with Mikeala, humping leg mode... 8-}

Get Mikeala and Bumblebee with Sam so you can recreate the love scene at the end of the first movie... actually, Agent Simmons should have been with Skids, not Mikaela.

Someone in the forum asked if we would see HA figures for the Decepticons. Remember Barricade having a holigraphic cop in the first movie and I know Blackout was taken out in the first movie, but he had a holigraphic pilot. And then there's Alice, the Pretender in ROTF, so IMO a HA line of Decepticons could work.

No need to speculate, we've got a Human Alliance Barricade and Frenzy that's supposedly being released after Sideswipe and Skids.

Probably somewhere in between the Ultimate class and leader class.. like the size of the Masterpiece Optimus..I'm guessing..

they could call that class the epic class or epic scale version, and do away with Human Alliance as a title all together..(which opens up all kinds of possibilities)

actually that is funny and all, but if they did a mold homage to Peter Cullen as the figure for a Human Alliance Optimus Prime, that would be awesome!!

I really don't see what all the Hub-bub is all about..

I mean here is the gallery image of the deluxe version..

and here is the Latest image of the HA version...(note the images in the beginning of this post have been photo-manipulated by Hasbro, this is the real toy after transformation..)well it could still be a prototype.. I don;t understand the color choices in the image below.. green feet, hands and the swords??

So to me, I think they both look the same as far as thickness..

I mean Sideswipe is just a thick transformer..it's the back pack that does it..
it looks like the HA backpack is upside down, with the windshield up instead of facing down..

I don;t have a problem with the bulkiness of the figure, it has other issues..
The colors in the HA version look all wrong, what's up with that??

maybe the final version will be better..??

Going by this comparison, I actually like the HA version better than the deluxe. Was put off off by pairing Epps with Sideswipe, but given how the movie begins, it makes at least a bit more sense than it did...

When I saw HABB I was SO excited and desparate for it. Skids and Sideswipe don't get me excited at all. Maybe I'll get them on sale if I see them.

by **sideswipe98** » Wed Jul 15, 2009 2:34 am

sideswipe has chubby legs, his hands and blades look weird, i'm still gonna get him.i'm also gonna get bumblebee with sam and skids with arcee and mikayla.i'm gonna put mikayla in bumblebee with sam.i think what that guy said is true,that demolisher raped arcee,then she got pregnet and decided to keep the baby,the demolisher punched her in the stomach and out come the disfigured arcee.you guys all know that arcee is chromia,but just painted red.i mean the whole cannon arm, arcee has a blade on her right arm and both of arcee's tires are on the bottom.i'm also gonna get the deluxe arcee.if you adjust it the gap between her head and the front of the motorcycle,if you put them close enough you might be able to put mikayla in the gap. :sad:

I agree; Mikaela with the scout-class looking Arcee makes sense, but Mikaela/Skids... not so much. I think Simmons was actually driving Skids anyway, or I'd say put him with Mudflap.

Loving this line even more since I got BB. I'm game for Sideswipe, Barricade and Skids. I kinda want Soundwave with Alice and Ravage to happen.

by **Gojira Prime** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 2:25 pm

Note Mikaela's arm pose when she's on Skids' back.

Apprently she's blaming the Jews for her toe-thumbs.

by **Sonic Wing** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:56 pm

i agree with most people here...sideswipe looks faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat but skids looks rather nice...but i think ill stick to finding deluxe sideswipe and skip skids and arcee until i see some reviews
