    The HA figures are very well detailed and made.

    Just like the movies though, they focus the toy on the human.

    Call it something like Premium or something.

    They should be renamed "Figures that need to be axed for characters that need Ultra class toys such as Ironhide"

    Ahaha, no.
    Scale is a battle you just won't win. Best to enjoy the good toys instead of throwing them out for ones that would satisfy a couple of fans.

    More on-topic: The gimmick of the entire line is including a human toy. Changing the name wouldn't do anything for the quality of the toys, or the sacrifices made for the human interaction.

    they just need to get rid of the Humans so they dont have to worry about making the toys have stupid arm chair or back turrets for the humans that make the toys too bulky and get rid of the extra not needed kibble.

    Then it'll just be like alternators which was very unpopular with the general audience.

    I'm fine with the name (even if Barricade is the only figure so far without a real human accessory; meh, big deal). Ditto with the term "CHUGs". People who frage and sweat over this small stuff should really learn to deal.

    Then, what is the point of them aside from "those same guys that get a dozen $10 releases, only BIGGER!"

    The human to me is not detailed enough. Maybe they should rename as Human Reliance as Human is always relies in Autobots to help save the Earth,LOL

    Human Alliance is a Class of toys that determine size and price point. It is the same reason why all Leader Class toys are not leaders in rank. They are also the only class of toys that are in scale with another (about 1/24). In addition to this and having the more detailed transformations, almost making them Masterpiece level, this is my favorite class of toys.

    They could transfer the HA name to the Basics and rename the "original" HAs Ultra or something. But I don't really care what the name is.
