Aaaaarrgghh. Why am I awake right now?! Anyways...
First, let me say the images are nice. Nothing looks wonky (strange hands or feet). But I think you missed the mark a bit on these recreations, especially with Footloose.
Footloose is one of those characters who's gear was fairly standard, so the details of who is visually come from the way he wears his uniform. The open collar and the sleeves rolled up to his biceps are an important feature for him. As far as the color scheme, it would have also helped it you used a more muted green for his webgear. I don't suppose the leaves on the helmet would make much sense, but I think I was looking for some kind of analogue there.
As for Recoil, he is a lot closer to the original design. His color scheme overall is great, and I like the way you handled the helmet and goggles. He just needs his boots and gloves to be a darker brown (similar to the one you used for Footloose's boots) and the shade of green you used on his helmet for his webgear and he's good to go.
I really like to figure out who is who before I scroll down to the names. It took me about five seconds to figure out who Recoil was, and I only got Footloose because I've almost memorized your chart and knew he was on the fireteam with Recoil and was an automatic rifleman. Normally your designs smack me right away, so I was a bit disappointed this time around.
PS: Snaq to the Cavs?
