    Well, would you? To me, it seems like a bit of a missed opportunity. I wonder if we could get something like this come time of season 4.

    BumbleBee w/ Raf

    Wheeljack w/ Miko

    Smokescreen & Arcee w/ Jack

    Knockout w/ Vince

    Ratchet w/ June

    Cliffjumper w/ Agent Fowler

    Airachnid w/ Silas

    Vehicon w/ MECH Trooper

    If they can pull them off so they focus on being show accurate with little to no kibble then I'd buy them all.

    Only if the HA molds were improvements over the regular molds, and I think it would be pretty hard to improve on Wheeljack and nearly impossible on Vehicon. Really the only thing I want for my Prime collection right now is a Fowler like the entertainment pack kids and Silas.

    Eh, not really.

    I dunno, maybe.

    I just don't see them improving the designs any.

    We already had a thread on this, but seeing as I didn't post in that one. No, not really. With the movie line it was one scale or the other. You either had a basic sized bot with a small human or a voyager-ish sized bot with a slightly larger human. While the robots themselves were cool, some of the humans came out rather derpy. So unless they gave the human characters a helmet or in some way made sure QC was better I'd pass easily.

    Added to the fact that most figures aside from the obvious Airachnid have or will have decent figures.

    I would support a Prime HA line. I think this show has the best cast of Humas ever and I even like Mako so they all rock.

    Nope, I never really cared much for HA figures. I saw a $10 HA Leadfoot and still passed.

    HA Jazz is awesome. I just picked up Leadfoot for $9.99 on eBay so I'll see if he is any good.

    With the exception of Airachnid I am happy with the Prime line so I don't think an HA line is needed. Between FE, PRID, and BH to fill the lineup I don't think they could come up with better molds.

    Nah. The whole point of Alternators and Alliance was to have real scaled automobiles.

    Unless the human figures were actually like GI Joe quality and not previous Human Alliance quality. Then i'd agree with you.

    Vehicon with Mech trooper would be infinitely better, especially since it would be weird for army builders to have a bunch of Silas's. And when you're talking Silas, the only real option is Silas with Breakdown. He could man Breakdown's shoulder gun, or sit in Breakdown's chest. Would be awesome.

    Gotta agree. Silas would be better with Airachnid. Breakdown and Bulkhead would be too big for a HA line.

    Well to be fair, to call HA Leadfoot a piece of crap would be un-necessarily insulting to crap.

    I was never really into human alliance. They're only ever the car and bike characters and they don't fit with other toys.

    no, this type of line is not HA worthy.. however putting some characters with the figures would work..

    I wouldn't be interested in them.
