    Yeah, I don't think we've heard anything yet about scout class returning. It'll be a shame if they drop it, they've been some of my absolute favourites in the past 2 years.

    I'm not really sure why people started saying that either, to be honest. I don't think we have an official name for this type of product yet. Presumably it's Human Alliance something-or-other.

    They were called "Human Alliance Basics" on that German site that got the initial leak.

    Yeah I don't really see how that's possible. Though the german site listed them at the same price as deluxe.

    I'm hoping it'll be like the replacement for PCCs rather than scout class.

    Going by the dune buggy HA we saw before (which had a laptop for scale), I don't think these guys are Scout. More likely PCC Commander size, if not Deluxe.

    Anyway, I love this concept. Hope the Cons get decent coverage, too (human allies would be awkward though, maybe Frenzy/Alice-type mini-Cons?)
    Though this particular copter looks kinda 'light', like it needs side-plating or something.

    I also wonder if this will be something that shows up in the movie. If it does I'll be kinda boned because, uh, I'm a cast completest, and I am not working right now.. I will be sad if I have to miss stuff and get it on the after market later.. That and these look like they will be awesome for joints and parts for customs :D

    You guys have no sense of scale. How can this be scout class sized when it holds a 3" figure?

    The original poster called it a scout helicopter because thats the type... a small helicopter used for scouting.

    HA humans aren't 3" figures.

    But yeah, these have to be bigger than scout class.

    There hasn't been much in the DotM mainline revealed so far that's caught my interest, but I really like the look of these HA Basics or whatever the subline ends up being called.
