    Ok, the ROTF line is doing now, but who's for some Human Alliance figures for when Universe returns...
    My Picks are
    Bumblebee (G1)/ Spike
    Ironhide/ Carly
    Ratchet/ Sparkplug
    Prowl/ Chip
    Goldbug (Bumblebee remold)/ older Spike and Carly
    Hotrod or Wheelie/ Daniel

    It's a great idea but Hasbro would have to make most of the vehicles lookalikes as they wouldn't be able to license any of the G1 vehicles.

    Would be cool but they probably wouldn't bother for versions of the characters only currently found in comic books. Plus, I'd rather them just stick to updating more characters as they have been so far rather than going back to the likes of Bumblebee and Prowl (especially considering they'd be out of scale with the other Universe/Classics stuff) - though a new Ironhide with somewhat voyager-size would be nice

    I'm not interested in $30 Alliance 2-pack. How about some $1-$2 mini drivers that will sit in Alts?

    Seems unlikely, unless Human Alliance is an unprecedented success. And yeah, Alternators are already pretty much the G1 version of Human Alliance(without the humans). Making human alliance scale G1 humans for Alternators would be an idea, but such a niche idea I can't see Hasbro doing it. A fan company might, but they'd probably wind up costing about as much as an actual Human Alliance set.

    Having said that, I'd go for Bumblebee and Hot Rod.

    I suppose it's possible that Hasbro could reissue certain Alternators with humans, and package them as Universe Human Alliance.
