The problem with Dino-Rider humans is that they're homo sapiens and the hominids in Beast Wars are meant to be Neanderthals (according to the scripts). Perhaps museums might sell toy Neanderthals?
As for size, this information may help you:
+ Adult Neanderthal male = 165-168cm
+ Adult Neanderthal female = 152-156cm
+ Rattrap (robot mode) = 180cm
...I have sizes for a lot of other Beast Wars Transformers at home but I don't remember them off hand. I just remember that Rattrap, Airazor and probably Blackarachnia are 1.8m tall in robot mode. I'll post more when I get home.

There's an outside chance you might be getting a little more specific (no pun intended) than Starscream212 is

I realize that the ice age Dino riders are part of a different human era to those in BW, but they have 'apish' faces, which is the closest match i can find.
It will be a matter of tracking down 3-4 and repainting them the brown color on the TV show.
They are the only 2inch caveman articulated figurers i can find, but they are gunna be expensive as i have to buy a Dino rider pack just for one man, hopefully i can get a good resale value on the dinosaur

As I said before the scale between characters on the show and toys differ, but here's some stats for your reference. All cartoon stats are from Season 1.
Legend: Character Name | Robot Mode Height (cartoon) | Robot Mode Height (toy) | Scale
--------------
Maximals
Optimus Primal | 2.8m | 21.5cm | 1:13
Rhinox | 2.6m | 12cm | 1:22
Cheetor | 2.3m | 13cm | 1:18
Rattrap | 1.8m | 10.5cm | 1:17
Dinobot | 2.9m | 12.5cm | 1:23
Tigatron | 2.3m | 13cm | 1:18
Airazor | 1.8m | 9.5cm | 1:19
Predacons
Megatron | 2.8m | 19cm | 1:15
Scorponok | 2.5m | 12.5cm (23.5cm if you include the tail) | 1:20
Waspinator | 2.5m | 13cm | 1:19
Tarantulas | 2.4m | 16cm | 1:15
Terrorsaur | 2.3m | 13cm | 1:18
Blackarachnia | 2.4m | 16cm | 1:15
Inferno | 2.6m | 18cm | 1:14
On average the toys are 1:18 scale, which means that a 9cm figure would be on average scale with a male Neanderthal. It's entirely up to whether or not you wish to be so precise, but the info's there if you need it.)

wow thanks for your effort, but i think it will b hard to find a 9cm/ 3.5 inch figure.As I said before the scale between characters on the show and toys differ, but here's some stats for your reference. All cartoon stats are from Season 1.

Would you want a male Neanderthal? Una was the only protohuman of any importance

Yes she is, but there where some males in the mix. lolWould you want a male Neanderthal? Una was the only protohuman of any importance
I have not thought about the male/female blend yet, i dunno how im going to get a female cavewoman. all the caveman dino riders are male so mayb a paint job can fix this up.
ill probaly try to get 4 figures and acuratley repaint them.

Just read your review. Made me laugh -- the 'pointless post' on his back is so that he can peg his tail weapon onto his back in robot mode.
--Jhiaxus.
(It's one of those pesky undocumented features -- but you'll notice his tail weapon has a similarly inexplicable post hole.)

Maybe you could find some really ugly Polly Pocket KOs for Chak and Una.
The thing is that all the protohumans in BW were nekkid, and there's no way you're gonna find a nude human (caveman or otherwise) toy! MotU and WWE figures come pretty close though. ;D
