There is also a F1 style racecar figure who's weapon mode may be some kind of shield. Although it resembles a Human Alliance figure, it is not known at this time if this is indeed a HA figure or the Deluxe F1 car that showed up on this Takara Product list. Are these Takara exclusive toys? Will they be a store exclusive of some sort? We will update you when we get more information on these figures. Until then, you can see the original post here, we have also mirrored the images below.

WHAT IS UP WITH THE DECPETICON HUMAN ALLIANCE FIGURES?
Sure the possibility of humans siding with the Decepticons is likely, but I would think that the Decepticons would sooner "enslave" any potential human allies.

Maybe it's a flatworm. The Autobots would have to fear his skilled, massive weapon!

maybe there not human they could be pretenders like that chick in ROTF or frenzy type robots using their holographic disguise. But they could in fact vb humand but they're being controlled by hypnochips or something. Real reason is probably cause you cant have only one faction in a figure class you need both cons & bots for it to potentially do well. It would be nice for hasbro to explain why the cons have "human" partners though, im sure alot of people are asking the same thing.

Mine is on pre-order and being cancelled as soon as I finish typing this. Just goes to show what a decent paint job can do.

Maybe for what ever the reason the Decepticon HA are androids or as Bishop said "artificial person" that are simply made to serve or or or....these are corrupted humans who were easily promised the world and more if they serve the Decepticons unknowning that they will be terminated in the end.

I think the lunar rover you mentioned is a different one.Cause I'm pretty sure the one that come packaged with battle hooks optimus prime is a deluxe Landmine repaint.This one is a human alliance basic repaint. Correct me if I'm wrong xD.

Well... A line can't be composed entirely of family-friendly Autobots - and the HA line is already 80% Autobots. Gotta appreciate Hastak spending ingenuity on cranking out vicious-looking Decepticons whenever they get the chance. Plus, of course the Decepticon-allied humans are doing it willingly! A 'Human Enslavement' subline name will never get past the PR dept, after all.
Drag-Strip? Overrun? Spastic? Whatever the name, the yellow race car 'con (that head screams con anyways) is awesome. I'd like to see the other side of his shield-mode, though. I already have Sandstorm standing on the shelf outside my room, but this lunar variant is tempting.

I was pleasantly surprised by the HA basics.
They are simply fun to mess around with.
I'll be grabbing both for sure.

Or, maybe they are slaves. I would willingly work with the Decepticons if they where to invade earth; slave or free.

I'll be sure to pick both of these up, they just look like too much fun to fiddle with.

Everyone's missing the most obvious answer: They're Cobra agents.

I'd be absolutely thrilled and be buying more figures if only Hasbro would actually think twice about MAKING odd color choices.
I have to admit that I like this Sandstorm repaint better than the original. And I can't help thinking that if there were more purple on the body of the F1 it would almost remind me a bit of Cybertron series Megatron. The orange or whatever that color is supposed to be needs to be shifted more towards just accent for parts of the appendages instead of being the primary color but otherwise I at least like the vehicle and robot design for it. The 3rd mode is a very uninspired attempt at a flight mode in my opinion and very much makes it seem like a MASK toy or Omni-bots wannabe from G1 days but I'd probably chuck the figure and never use the flight mode anyway if I picked this one up. An F1 wouldn't need a driver if it were just being displayed.

After coming to grips with the 2010 Botcon figures and growing to love them as a continuation of Classics, I can see what you're going for. Having said that, even you admit to liking the more uniform color scheme of the repaint. At this point, I can definitely appreciate strange or loud color schemes. The head on Sandstorm is just completely out of place though.

His third mode confuses me at the moment. It's either a sea/air skiff, a sheild, or a mistransformed pickaxe. I don't see the mechtech peg, which would be a big clue.

There it is, thanks! That makes it appear to be a shield, but I'd say you can fanagle an axe/scythe type weapon out of him.
