Where this might get messy, unfortunately, is something like Heavy Metal changing his code name to Rampage. They have the same file name and are the same character, but it seems weird to call Rampage "v2" when there's no prior figure called Rampage.
Likewise, The Sky Patrol figure called Airborne is a different character than the original Airborne. Should he be v2 or should they both be v1? Issues like that become tough judgment calls.
Indeed it is murky... but you'll notice Hawk and Falcon are sequential as you mentioned on 3DJoes already!

YES! If it's the same character in the same scale, it should be the next V#

Joe Team," which implies that he's the same character. Stupid inconsistencies like this are very frustrating.
Indeed! Vehicle naming (what was yellow, what was white / what was a nickname, what was a more descriptive name) is another inconsistent area that caused a lot of sleepless nights :-)
