My top choices for con sets would be: BF2000 vs. Hotwire, Overkill and BATs Sky Patrol vs. (well not really sure) Sgt. Savage/Screaming Eagles vs. General Blitz/IRON Stormtroopers |

I was actually here to ask a question of my own, but on the divers I would also suggest Depth Charge and Wet Down. Very simple modifications to mange with those two.
IMHO tracker wouldn't fit with that mold. Mind you, neither does mariner. Swap a head and a bit of paint and you could do an Action Force Beaver. A couple days ago I saw a couple of you (oliver I think?) talking about a thread on beret colours. Anyone have a link? I've tried searching the tank, but haven't found it.

It could be anywhere from 5 (the original team - Brehkov, Daina, Horror Show, Schrage, Stormavik) and up (Dragonsky, Gorky, Misha, others). I only read the stories with the original five and the three I named, but I know others were introduced later (like Red Star). Depends on how big of a set they want to make.
Hasbro has said they've got no plans to release them, so the Club is my only real hope aside from customs, at this point. The club I think is gonna be the place to go for classic renditions of figures but I'm hoping well see more POC style updates of characters and maybe some POC/ARAH hybrids like Low-Light. I think Hasbro could use the original look of Repeater, Muskrat, Spearhead (in darker camo), Recoil and perhaps Crosshair (a BTR figure I'd really like to see) with some slight adjustments. Older figures like Footloose and Airtight will probably have to come through the club in the same manner as classic Dial-Tone, but I hope they don't get lazy with the choice of parts. |

Hasbro did say (in the latest Q&A) that they'd be doing more Low-Light style ARAH-type figures, so we might still see some of those folks from them.

The Oktober Guard, Sky Patrol or any Night Force would be awesome.

Now that my dream set has been made
I would say Sky Patrol Vs ? I don't know either. There are the two Brazilian Sky Patrol figures (Escorpoa Voador, Abutre Negro) It seems the Club is itching to do a Miles Mayhem figure. Well he appeared the in the last monthly installment of the adventures of Big Lob. I say Oktober guard is the most deserving, (Besides Billy but he's just an extra Storm Shadow IMO) I think the Club needs to invent a few new characters like they've done in the past. Such as: Iron Anvils; Demolisher; Crusher; Dreadheads; Swamp Vipers; Black dragon; Steel Brigade Commander, Gen Mayhem; Hot-wire (Sort of, was a DDP creation 1st IIRC); Skull Squad; Lt Clay Moore; Night Stalkers; Coil troopers) They can bring back the Oktober Guard, or Sky Patrol and have them fight Baroness and her Athena Troops. Or Maybe another threat altogether. I like them inventing new Vipers, what do you guys think is the next viper that's missing?

You're right, blackrazor. He was from SPYTROOPS but I usually refer to all of those style of figures with the hulking shoulders as BTR. Bad habit I suppose.

I'd love to see both crosshairs and Hollow point as part of a sniper team. Maybe Crossfire too and Rapid-Fire, and Side-Track and Sideswipe and a 6 man insertion team vs. ? Big Boa?

Kitchen Vipers are just unlucky souls. and are just one mistake away from Latrine-Vipers after that it's Desert Scoprions or Toxo-Vipers.
