    It looks slightly mistransformed. It looks like the landing skis should somehow be able to move upwards a little bit... and a bit more straight.

    But really liking the human alliance scouts!

    Interesting. Definitely miss-transformed. The bot-mode should be interesting to see. Not sure I'll get any of these, but I do like to see them expanding on the HA gimmick. Hopefully we start seeing some Decepticons too. Nice to see this one has clip-system weapons too.

    How do we know these are scout class?

    I mean take one of the human alliance humans and put it next to a scout. These look bigger to me.

    Pretty cool! Looks like the back tail section is the arms, skis are the feet, you can tell the legs are slightly mistransformed. I agree the feet look like they may be able to sit closer to the body. Shoulder mounted rocket pods are on 3mm clips, YAY! Diggin' the HA scouts!

    Diggin' the HA Scouts, so are we to believe that this will be the gimmick for the Scouts this time around?

    Looks like HfD Tomahawk's sibling.

    Bot-mode will have skis for feet.....

    Not digging it for several other reasons.

    These seem just a tad bit too big to be Scouts. Have we seen anything confirming a size class of some sort?

    I think they're called HA Basics as opposed to Scout, cause they are definitely bigger then a Scout class.

    Honestly I'm not crazy about these. I can see how they'd appeal to kids, but I certainly hope they're not the replacement for the Scout class. They look bigger to me anyway.

    They'd be a good replacement for Powercore combiners though.

    Yeah, try fitting a HA human into the scout class Dune Runner for example.

    Still not feeling this, really hope we're still getting regular scouts on top of these. Hasbro was totally hitting their stride with the designs that started with ROTF, forcing the HA gimmick doesn't have quite the same feel.

    That looks awesome, even though it looks nothing like it. The first thing that popped into my head was the M.A.S.K. Condor

    I'm digging it. I wonder when we'll get a video of this page explaining how it looks.
