Being that it's now two lines in the Classified Series going forward is the main Classified Series line going to be what it was intended to be (and that is,) a modern update of the figures. While the retro line will be reserved for the figures classic and most iconic looks?
It think it's fair to say that if QUICK KICK, BAZOOKA, TUNNEL RAT, SHIPWRECK, TORPEDO and FIREFLY were released today that the versions of the figures we got would have been in the retro line. Personally, I'd line to see a retro inspired SHOOTER, COBRA Trooper, COBRA officer and I'm guessing that RIP CORD, ROCK 'N ROLL and CRAZYLEGS are going to be released in retro line. What do you guys think that main Classified and retro lines will look like going forward and which version of the figures you think will be in the main Classified line and which version do you think will be in the retro line?

Glad Hasbro is wising up and doing this. We need to seperate the old way of thinking and the new way of thinking.
Retro for the ones who dispise change And classfied for the ones who love new concepts and updates. Smart move . Ex: We got shipwreck and he is completely vintage- so thats a check for the retro Now give us a modem updated Shipwreck - a blend of v1 and v2 in classfied.

I'd like to see some of the Valor vs Venom designs in Classified for the updates, Mindbender especially.

Count me in the group that thinks standard should be updates and retro should be 1/1 ARAH designs.

I think classic Rip Cord is likely to be a retro release like you said Fred, though the Dragonfly NF figure still has a lot of updates so he could still be in the main line I guess. I think Hasbro could still release retro Firefly and Torpedo though since their gear was mostly modern and updated from the OG figures, though personally I feel like they both hit the sweet spot and were a nice blend of classic and modern and don't need another release. I definitely think any updates from VvV or Devil's Due or the ME lines will stay in the regular Classified main line though.
I love and enjoy both the retro and the regular line and don't "despise" one or the other. People can love both lines. Is that the lab coat version? I bet he eventually happens. Will be interesting to see if they do a single card retro Mindbender for his next figure or go another direction like the lab coat one.

I think they might not need to fully 1:1 ARAH aka EVERY figure Retro-ified. But I think some that are clearly "modern", aka Zarana, Shooter, Jinx, Bludd, should be Retro-ified.

There's a caveat to that and that is unless RIP CORD is a deluxe figure with a functional parachute.
