    Preferably in scale. I'd really like a Spike, Sparkplug and Chip. I wouldn't mind an older Spike, Carly and Daniel. I wouldn't say no to Marissa Faireborn or Old Snake.
    I get the feeling I am going to end up with nothing as they are all probably really hard to find and/or prohibitively expensive.
    All other humans from other series have annoyed the crap out of me. Though I can see having a Professor Princess so I can display her being crushed into the ground under the foot of a big bot for being so stupid.

    I can't think of any other than the tiny, faceless figurines that come with select Masterpieces. I'm sure there's people who don't care about keeping those that sell them.

    But detailed, standalone G1 human figures? Do those even exist?

    I think custom painted Diaclone pilots would be your best bet since most of the season 1 &2 G1 cast were originally Diaclone toys.

    Dr Wu made some classics scaled ones that were detailed, but they also cost a fortune, especially for their size.

    Hot Wheels produced an old set that included a hard hatted construction worker. He is slightly larger than MP10 Spike and is a perfect stand in for Sparkplug. I'll have to investigate what set it was but I think it was one of those City sets that connects with other sets.

    If you want official, the little guys that come with mp are your only choice.

    3rd party doesn't bother me. I really really want an Ocular Max Azalea. It looks more cartoon accurate than any Arcee toy I've ever seen.

    Those suck though. No articulation, poor quality. They can't even hold an accessory, like an AllSpark key.

    Sari alone looks all sorts of wrong.

    I'm surprised a 3rd party hasn't made a complete set of the Humans in one pack, Masterpiece scaled. Heck make a Circuitbreaker too.

    Same here. To state the obvious, this void needs to be filled...by somebody. It seems like such a glaring omission when you think about it. There are easily 20 different viable human characters that could be done.

    Spike (pre and post movie)
    Carly (pre and post movie)
    Sparkplug
    Daniel
    Dr. Arkeville
    G.B. Blackrock
    Circuitbreaker
    The TFP and TFA kids, other human allies and villains
    UT and RID human characters
    Chip
    etc.

    And, I would like to see them in MP scale as well as in 3-3/4” or 6” scale with articulation like SW BS or ML figures. Maybe like a 2-pack that includes an MP scale figure as well as a larger more highly detailed and articulated version.

    Those were prototypes and they can move their arms at the shoulders. Don't know what you were expecting for the size.

    It’s not the size it’s the quality. Like I said, they suck. Inarticulate and no accessories. Plus Sari’s face is completely off.

    MegaConstrux exists, so expecting something better on a small scale isn't outside of reasoning.

    Honestly, while they may not be in perfect scale with Transformers and have "hero proportions" (slightly thicker arms, squat... think Warhammer 40K), the MCX stuff is easily the best choice for accompanying human figures. Plus, they're cheap and parts-swap easily enough to get what you want for the most part.

    Were they around ten years ago? Anyway, i didn't say they were great options, just they exist. I would like Some little humans of spike sparkplug and carly. Maybe i can grab some off someone with mp44 who doesn't want theirs.
