    Really? That and Skids are all I see in Northern California. Bumblebees EVERYWHERE.

    Leader Screamer will work fine for me... especially after a coat of flat silver paint to cover the godawful tattoos.

    ummm... says someone who comes to a site dedicated to merchandise 30+ years old but still repackaged and sold every year (Hello, Gen 1 prime figure)...

    What's with all the Ratchet love? He was a useless character in two films. Didn't do a damn thing. Couldn't heal Bumblebee voice or Jazz. Couldn't heal Prime. About as good a medic as Doctor Nick from Simpsons.

    As much as I'd love to see some of the larger characters (Ironhide, Ratchet, etc) get HA renditions, I don't think it'll be very likely. The HA cars are already priced at the $30-35 pricepoint depending on the vendor. The larger vehicles would need to be priced higher (unless they abandoned scale) and I don't really see Hasbro producing multiple figures in this line that'll retail for as much or more than Leader class figures.

    Sticking with Autobot ground vehicles I'd like for Jolt to be next, but I'd prefer Grindor and Alice or Blackout and Mustache Man.

    Landmine with a couple of soliders (two, to make up for them bing no names) would be an awesome set.

    Agreed. I'd buy that in a hearbeat.

    I'd still really LOVE an HA Ironhide but I understand the reasons why it might well never happen. Who knows, if the HA line is a runaway success, maybe we'll get Irohnide and Ratchet someday? I'd gladly pay a little more for them.

    Ratchet because, despite Bumblebee's killing of everything, Sideswipe's badassery, and the Twins... being the Twins, Ratchet has an absolutely awesome design- one I'd love to see given it's proper due with a line like this.

    However, I'm hoping on Jolt and Leo next, as we haven't gotten an accurate Jolt figure yet. A cool Jolt figure, we have, but I want something a little more accurate to the sleek, alien look he had in the film.

    I love Jazz, and I have all the Jazz figures ever released since G1, but this Jazz looks like a load of c###. I mean honestly, he's too thin, too tall and his robot mode doesn't even look like Jazz in the movie.

    I can't believe people are still saying this. HA 2 and 3 were supposed to be Ironhide and Ratchet. Both were scrapped for Sideswipe and Skids. They have NO plans to make HA of Ironhide and Ratchet now.

    ^ this s really unfortunate - bc those characters still don't have a "great" figure yet; but with the HA line, it's possible that they could...

    It sure worked for Barricade...

    It looks a lot more like the CGI model than the 2007 deluxe Jazz. The latter was chunkier(and that part I honestly didn't mind, it's the hindered articulation, hindered range of motion and various other problems that left me disappointed). So for me, I've been waiting for a great movie Jazz figure to make up for the lackluster 2007 version. To me, Human Alliance is it.

    Agreed. 2007 Jazz has some of the worst hands on a TF ever as well. I think the only 2007 movie Jazz toy worse than the deluxe was the Legends version.

    I'm pretty excited about this HA Jazz myself as well. Hasbro's yet to to fumble the ball with this subline, imo.

    Pretty much agreed. The only complaints I have about the subline both relate to Sideswipe, in that his "pistons" are too stiff and his blades are too flimsy IMO. But other than those nitpicks, Hasbro's really on to something here and am currently continually praying to Primus that we've got more coming after Jazz.
