'''Human Alliance''' is an assortment introduced in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' toyline]]. The Transformers in this assortment are accurate scale recreations of licensed vehicles with operating doors and realistic interiors. These sets also include a [[human]]/humanoid figure who can sit inside the [[alternate mode]] or be attached to one of several positions on the robot mode. There is also a weapon accessory for the human to operate in this mode.

The Human Alliance toys continued through the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'' line]], and was expanded to include smaller, [[Triple Changer|triple-changing]] vehicles for ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]''.

==Notes==
*Human Alliance Arcee was purposefully designed to look like another motorcycle that Mikaela briefly used in ''Revenge of the Fallen''<ref>[http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65426 Hasbro December 09 Q&A, AllSpark]</ref>, and as a result, doesn't look much like herself. Chromia uses Arcee's actual design in both modes, only in blue.
*Due to the enormous workload the [[TakaraTomy]] designers were under, [[Shogo Hasui]] was by default the one assigned to present a proof-of-concept prototype for the Human Alliance subset. He rapidly created the proof-of-concept model using a 2007 ''[[Movie (toyline)|Transformers]]'' Voyager class [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] toy with a new shoulder (that turned into a seat for the human passenger in either mode), a new left forearm (which turned into a motorcycle) and a new gigantic weapons array. He revealed that the line's requirements stated that the robot modes only needed to have a passing resemblance to the movie design, jokingly stating that he had "accidentally" created a well-made Bumblebee robot mode.<ref name="Generations 3">TakaraTomy designer interview in ''Transformers Generations 2009 Volume 3'' [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/281700-takaratomy-staff-interview-rotf-human-alliance-gravity-bots-more.html Translated interview on TFW2005.com]</ref>
*[[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] would have been the next Human Alliance figures after Bumblebee, but this was changed to Sideswipe and Skids due to the large size of Ironhide and Ratchet's vehicle modes.<ref name="Generations 3"/>
*The relatively small sizes of Skids and Mudflap was the main reason for the inclusion of Arcee and Chromia.<ref name="Generations 3"/>
*[[Hisashi Yuki]] took over the Human Alliance line after Bumblebee.<ref name="Generations 3"/>
*Since when is Frenzy a human? Mind you, 'Humanoid Alliance' doesn't roll off the tongue so well.
*The Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes figures included in the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010 ''Transformers'']] lineup are entirely new sculpts compared to the figures from the ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' assortment. They're slightly smaller and thus in line with the Lennox figure available with Jazz, who is also smaller than Sideswipe's Epps. The DOTM Human Alliance toys also have the smaller human figures, so it appears this will be the new standard. Unfortunately, all of the Basic figures were designed to match the original human scale, as evident in the promotional images, so the new smaller humans all look like they're riding oversized vehicles.
*Although the smaller triple-changers are referred to as Basic figures, a tag previously given to the Scout size class or the one between Legends and Scouts, most of the figures are on par with the smaller DOTM Deluxes. The exception is Tailpipe, who is Scout-sized, due to the inclusion of Pinpointer.
