My thoughts exactly. I bet Hama never dreamed it would go on for as long as it did. Even still in 1994 when the series ended with 155 Duke could have still only been early 50s. Snake-Eyes and Stalker would seem real old doing what they were doing in their late 40's even 50s? Although you sort of assume time slows down a bit so it was more like 89 instead of 94 in comic years.
I wonder about the replacing of guys though. In the beginning there were no V2 of anyone. Not really until Battle Corps but by then they were just churning out the same product. I wonder if Hama wanted to get rid of any of the other main characters?
You figure with Special Missions, (which was so much better and a greater assortment of the old and the new guys besides Snake-Eyes) maybe Hama was doing what he wanted to do. He was just obligated to crank out all the ninja craptasticness in the main series.(Both contractually and creatively) Both comics had plenty of the new toys on display on the pages, but SM seemed more about the characters than the Main Series. But SMissions started in 87ish and was over before the main series really started going downhill so by 89 maybe Hama just ran out of steam?
