    When I first got into HA, I only planned to get Barricade. But then I realized Barricade would be useless without a tiny Shia to manhandle, so I sort of made my first HA purchase to get the human.

    Robots only. I don't care for the human toys (I count Frenzy with the robots). I don't really care what humans they throw in, as long as they serve as an excuse for a new mold being created.

    Both.

    The main factor, though, is if I want the robot or not. I would've liked to have Epps but didn't want HA Sideswipe, and I wouldn't pay that much just for the Epps.

    I wish they didn't have the random seats and fold out guns for the humans to use, but I love the humans being included.

    The only human integration the toys need are a way to have the human characters sit on the shoulder imo

    i have only been buying TFs for the past 15-20 years just biding my time for a mini version of a bratty actress, that kid from Even Stevens and god willing, Mojo dominating some dog.

    okay, i haven't bought any HA figs. they don't do anything for my collection.

    I only bought 'Bee and Skids so that I could put the Sam and Mikaela figures into compromising positions. Little Frenzy wanted in on the action, too. Currently Sam and Mikaela are embracing on Alternator Swerve's hood.
    Really, though...I bought them because I hate having money.

    honestly, i just want the bikes :lol  just kidding!

    but yea. i want the figures, for the transformers, everything else, including the sam, and megan fox are just extra parts lol to me. but it's clearly not worth 35 dollars just for a tiny little figure, i mean if i wanted a sam figure that badly i would of bought the Mutt figures awhile back :lol

    I didn't want them originally, I actually thought that they were overpriced voyager wannabe's that were more marketing ploys by Hasbro.

    But I got my first HA, that being Barricade, and now have all of them except for HA Mudflap and HA Jazz. I love them, they're very intricate and very nice figures.

    My only pet-peeve about the HA line are the bikes. Why in the fu** is Chromia Arcee and Arcee Chromia??

    Robots, with the pseudo exception of Frenzy. Honestly, the HA were the only ROTF figures I could even get moderately interested in. IMO, they (and leader/voyager optimi) seem to be the only ROTF molds that actually make the Bayformer aesthetic work in toy form.

    The figures each have their own ratio...

    Bee 75% Sam 25%
    Sideswipe 95% Epps 5%
    Skids 75% Arcee 5% Mikaela 20%
    Barricade 65% Frenzy 35%

    When he comes out.

    Mudflap 34.9% Simmons 60% Chromia .1%

    Considering my wife accused me of playing with 'that skank Megan Fox', I'm going to say the robots.

    Not that I wouldn't have said the robots anyway.

    Yeah.

    Both. I love the scale of the HA figures, and I also like that they're each paired with a human figure. I'd like more than what they'll probably release. But my wish for the pairings is a lot different, with only Bumblebee & Sam, Sideswipe & Epps and Barricade & Frenzy staying the same:

    Mikaela would've been with Bee & Sam
    Skids w/Simmons
    Mudflap w/Leo (even though I'd probably have Leo hanging out of the trunk :)  )
    Graham w/Jolt
    Ironhide w/Lennox
    Ratchet w/ Keller
    Jazz w/ Maggie & Glenn

    And then for the Decepticons I would've made:

    Rampage w/ Ron & Judy
    Sideways w/ Alice (even though I hated her)

    The first HA figure I bought was Barricade/Frenzy. In that case I bought it for both... I wanted a good Frenzy almost as much as the nicely updated Barricade.

    The only other one I have is Bumblebee. I really only got him so Barricade could have a bookshelf enemy. Sam's a nice bonus.

    I only care about the bots, the humans are just a bonus.
