I like them because it's a chance to own human characters. And I like the idea of making them interactive with Transformers and giving them some articulation to make them meaningful action figures, even if they are small. I would ideally love to see 10cm figures in scale with G.I. Joe, Star Wars and Microman (much like say Kicker and Gamede), but I guess there isn't enough interest from TF consumers to justify that -- with Kicker it was different because that toy coincided with the 30th anniversary of Microman, and Gamede is of course a limited exclusive (and again, a Microman -- even canonically he's from the Microverse!).

But the Transformers that came with the RotF HA line didn't interest me because I already had the Deluxe versions and they weren't "to scale" with other "mainstream" TF toys. Also, because the human figures were to scale with HA, they looked out of scale with other movie TFs... e.g. HA Sam looks oversized when next to Deluxe Bumblebee.

The thing I like with the Basic HAs is:
+ The humans are smaller and more in scale with "mainstream" Transformers.
+ The Transformers that they come with are original characters, and not 'repeats' of existing characters.
+ Figures are well articulated and can interact with their TF counterparts.

What if the human characters were from G1? e.g. Spike, Sparkplug, Carly, Daniel, Melissa Fairborne, Doc Arkeville etc.?

Of course I suppose the downside to having these articulated human figures is either the price goes up for the toy, or the engineering level goes down. Or both! (-_-)
