REVERB and his human partner engage in recon operations and direct action against fortified DECEPTICON positions. Hovering silently past enemy lines and taking out guards and artillery is their specialty. Fast and dangerous, REVERB and Sergeant Detour are critical members of the AUTOBOT team.
REVERB and Sergeant Detour have teamed up for the ultimate in robot-human cooperation! Convert REVERB to hoverbike mode so that Sergeant Detour can make a fast getaway. When it’s time for an assault on the DECEPTICONS, convert to weapon mode, where Sergeant Detour can ride on top for still more action!
CROSSHAIRS demands that every round of ammunition used be accounted for. He is extremely careful in his targeting, not wanting to waste a single shot. His rate of fire is slow, even in the hottest combat, but his incredible accuracy more than makes up for it.
CROSSHAIRS and Sergeant Cahnay have teamed up for the ultimate in robot-human cooperation! Convert CROSSHAIRS to mech suit mode so that Sergeant Cahnay can ride safely inside. When it’s time for an assault on the DECEPTICONS, convert him to weapon mode, where Sergeant Cahnay can ride on top for still more action!

Almost as much as I'd want to go into battle sitting on top of what appears to be an industrial sized fan.
WTF is that supposed to be?

The giant fans will make the battlefield uncomfortably chilly, forcing the Decepticons to return home to get their sweaters.

New quotes for the Bios :
Reverb : "Let me go into battle and blow the enemy to death".
Crosshairs : "Hop into my exo-suit mode and watch out for your family jewels".

Give us a new Ratchet mold already. Preferable a Voyager or smallish leader.

Actually, only Crosshairs is the repaint, of Thunderhead. Reverb is a new mold.

Reverb-WTF? Hasbro has no idea how lift works, do they? The only thing you're gonna get out of that fan setup is a violent flip. Between this guy and the Joe's GHOST Hawk, Hasbro needs to just stop with the made up flying machines.
Also, the BRIGHT RED vehicle moves silently to spy on decepticons?

Actually, to be fair, even when transformed properly, much of the human rider's body is still exposed, including his legs, arms, and the sides of his torso.

Decepticons are color blind.

That's exactly what the problem was with the third Matrix movie. They had giant mech suits...that gave them no shielding at all in the front. = Instant death. Now, take on the other hand the mechs in Blue Gender--that's how they should be designed.
Anyway, while these alt modes are obviously entirely impractical and even utterly silly (seriously, why would a bot turn into a mech suit for a human?), I like the Human Alliance concept, and even though it's ridiculous I like the mech suit as that's the coolest looking of the three modes. And while these Basics pale in comparison to the original full-size ones, they are to me kind of what a good Scout should be--they're more interesting than a lot of the Scouts we got in previous lines, and the engineering seems to be better, as all the parts seem to fit nice and snug together without lots of impossible to fix gaps and overly loose or tight tab holes. Plus they're all triple changers, albeit with varying success.
They aren't perfect but they're creative and have lots of play value. And I'm really happy to have a mold of that three-wheel bike from ROTF, plus a new targetmaster.
