Thanks to TFW2005 member benzo and Cybertron.ca member Bruticus82 for pointing out new and upcoming releases from Impossible Toys. These new figures include Generation One Alpha Trion, Kranix, and Spike and Daniel in their Transformers The Movie exosuites. New painted images have also been posted along with comparison shots with other Animated toys of the upcoming Sari and Captain Fanzone figures.

They have stated many times they'll look into it, but it originally was not slated. Now it's feasible as Sari has proven more popular than they had expected. And actually they have made human figures after stating they wouldn't, in the movie line. They recognize the demand just haven't found a spot to put them in as of yet. So I think I'm perfectly fine on waiting. =p
The reason behind no human figures was the lackluster sales of kicker, which they seem to have realized was due to the fact no one liked the character, which is why he didn't sell.
As for the paint, that's good to hear, but I'm still afraid they may go for a glossy look to make it seem more 'cartoon like' as opposed to the previous ones being more G1 authentic. But that'll rest on final production models, not prototypes.
And a guardian robot with electronics is borderlining infringement even for them, so I'd question that one entirely. But who knows.

Most are VERY cool… don't know about Spike's arms though..

The colors look a bit odd but i think that's my pc. The figures look great though.

I emailed Impossible Toys last night after seeing the news and got a reply, They stated that these are just prototype pictures that were not intended to be released yet but leaked. They also said none of these are currently set for release unless there is a demand except for the TFA figures and the Spike and Daniel. They also said about the scale of the guardian as I was very curious was around like over a foot tall and has electronic functions.
I own the Quint figures and the paint on those is great and not glossy so I would think that these would also be the same type of paint? I would not make my choice off the prototypes yet until a production toy pops up. Also why do people think Hasbro is going to make a Sari toy? They have stated many times there not interested in making human toys? They have not made any up to now from a previous series, So do not hold your breath waiting.

glossy paints? yuck

I might try to get A3 myself, but the exosuits are pointless to me if they don't transform.
Kranix is sweet though. TFA figurines are neat, but I'd still like to see what hasbro is going to do for those instead first. Plus they look kinda big compared to the car bots. BB is fanzone's car afterall. Granted they can't fit in the vehicles anyway, it'd still be nice if their size alluded to it.
I guess it'll boil down to cost for me. Overall, I might only pick up Kranix, A3, and Spike. Probably just A3 if spike doesn't transform. Though if they made some kind of clamp accessory for spike when he was in unicron, I may pick him and daniel up for daniels only highlight in the animated movie.
-Edit-
Okay saw the pic of it transformed for Danny boy and spike, I'm probably only going to get A3 and Spike maybe. Otherwise these look too much like PVCs and not enough like toys to fit in with my collection. I'm going to wait and see what hasbro does for TFA Sari before I can even decide on the impossible toys one. Hopefully hasbro's will look more fitting with them color wise with less gloss.

Eeeeh…..in all honesty……these look terrible.

It is nice that some of these look better than the current rip-offs out there made by some of the less ethical 'fan kit' producers. I am curious to the prices.

I could go for the Alpha Trion, Guardian, Spike, and Daniel. Has the scale of the Guardian figure been revealed? There's no other TFs shown in the pictures for comparison. Hopefully it will be larger than most TFs.

Read this as it even says the final paint apps will be better?

Why do people complain about colours on prototypes? Was this not also something people were talking about with the Universe Cyclonus? Also is there word Hasbro is going to release Animated humans?
G1Wheeljack
Awesome, I might get some of these depending on the price.
Trailbreaker77
Paint is terrible I think I will wait for hasbro to do some robot heroes of Sari & crew.
Grimwing
bah. of the animated figures fanzone is looking the best. They need to work on sari's paint. The creepy mouth is a tough sell. Sumdac looks like a birthday candle.
If that blue guardian robot is in scale with g1 figures then all right its a good alternative to the import omega supreme repaint.
Spike and daniel are the best though. The only other versions of the exosuit were takara pvc figures. But these are articulated, transform, and from what I can tell the heads are very accurate.
Finally a spike a daniel that is'nt as easy to lose as the diaclone man sized construction worker suit ones!
protostar8
I'm having a hard time seeing how they transform. Do the arms just slide closer to the body and that's it (other than the feet folding up to the shins)?
Edit: Found a pic of the the "transformation". IMO, looks horrible…

Both he and Daniel do. It's not much of a transformation, but they do.
Railguard
Well, these aren't the greatest things I've seen….
thedeadmatrix
it would be super cool if spike can transform
it would be super cool if spike can transform
AnimatedFan
Wow…the Animated humans look even better than I had hoped. Sooo buying them. Now, if only we could get a release date…
If it was December, I'd just add their preorders to my Pile Of Loot, and have one hell of a great Christmas.
ZacWilliam
Loved the Quintessons. None of these quite do it for me.
The Alpha Trion and Guardian look nice as PVCs, but would look "off" next to real TFs IMO so I'll pass. (As opposed to the Quints that look GREAT with TFs and make me want more). I like that someone's trying to make toys of this weird tangental G1 stuff that we'll never get from Hasbro, but if it can't fit in display-wise with real TFs I lose a lot of interest.
Spike and Daniel I "might" be interested in, but I'd have to see more first.
-ZacWilliam, they should stick to non TFing things aliens, creatures, stuff like that, maybe a Suxxoid or Scrapplet monster, BOT, or Deceptitran, Astoria or Dr. Archeville or something, cause I DO like their Quints, the TFs here just look like big PVCs though and that's a turnoff to me.

I want Prowls holographic cop driver!!!
