The MCC, Whale, and TTBP were all slated for retailer exclusives with repainted figures.
The full slate of 1995 would have been-
Battle Corps Rangers (a mix of the new figures we?ve seen plus repaints from 94 and probably a few from before)
Star Brigade (including ArmorTech Walkers)
Manimals
Replicators
Ninja Commandos
Sgt. Savage
Hall of Fame
It was NOT going to be this grand return of the 80s style of line. And I question how long it would have lasted before a 2002 style revamp would have occurred anyway.
If I had to extend an era?
New sculpt. 2005?s Robot Rebellion (which we saw fragments of between the Direct to Consumer offerings and reused designs in Sigma 6) was shaping up to be even better than Valor vs Venom. With guys like Dwight Stall leading the design team, we were getting some truly AMAZING figures (the 2005 ?pin-less? figures are his doing), and they had plans to move comic packs to DDP and more modern figures. They had plans for a new RAM (with Falcon!), new Sharc (with a proper o-ring Wetsuit!), a good chunk of the early Sigma 6 designs were culled directly from what was planned for the 3.75 line.
I will die on the hill that we, as collectors, as FANS, lost out more in the abrupt change to the 8? figure format (itself a likely replacement for the failing 12? segment) than anything before or since.
You're not wrong, the tail end of new sculpt had some truly great figures.
