He's being paid millions, gets top billing in an incredibly ginormous summer action movie, and is getting offers out the wazoo, yet this is all Shia LaBeouf will get in the merchandising department.

Human Alliance is an assortment introduced in the 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 2010 Transformers line, and was expanded to include smaller, triple-changing vehicles for 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[1], and as a result, doesn't look much like herself. Chromia uses Arcee's actual design, 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 Transformers Voyager class 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.[2]
  • Ironhide and 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.[2]
  • The relatively small sizes of Skids and Mudflap was the main reason for the inclusion of Arcee and Chromia.[2]
  • Hisashi Yuki took over the Human Alliance line after Bumblebee.[2]
  • Since when is Frenzy a human?
  • The Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes figures included in the 2010 Transformers lineup are entirely new sculpts compared to the figures from the 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.
