I'm trying to figure out which RoC figures are not from the movie, not "movie-inspired," and not just movie-style repaints of previously released 25AC figures.
I know about Thunder, Monkeywrench and Helix so far. I heard someone say the TRU exclusive Firefly is the Resolute version. Is that accurate? Are there any other toys in the line not based on the movie itself? |

Shipwreck (which I bought this morning ) looks to be a cross between G.I.JOE America's Elite & Sigma Six. He can even be an updated Shipwreck from G.I. Joe vs Cobra (2001)

There is a TRU Exclusive Barbecue and Firefly that I don't believe are from the movie line. They rang up as "GI Joe basic figure assortment" while the others rang up as GI Joe Movie C1 or C2.

Basically any figure that is not: Hawk, Duke, Ripcord, Heavy Duty, Cover Girl, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Sgt. Stone, Baroness, The Doctor (aka Cobra Commander), Zartan, Destro, Neo-Vipers; would be not from the movie.
Elite Viper is not in the movie. I don't know what the Mantis Sub Drivers look like in the movie, so I can't say if those match with the figure that comes with it (but I doubt it). I don't know if the Ice-Viper is in the movie. The figure that comes with the Night Raven is not in the movie. I don't know if they show who drives the Typhoon in the movie, so can't say if that figure is or not. So there ya go, any figure not in that list is not in the movie.

None of 'em are really cartoon/comic based though. They are RoC based with the coloring.
Gung-Ho looks like he does in the video game. Tunnel Rat, Beachhead and Shockwave are similar to their Night Force colors (although Beachhead and Shockwave are pretty far off, Shockwave's more gray in his NF version). Monkeywrench is similar to his vintage. Copperhead's coloring doesn't match anything previous, so he's RoC. Nightcreeper's coloring doesn't match anything previous, so he's RoC. So I guess really only Monkeywrench would be similar to his cartoon/comic version (Night Force never appeared in the comics or cartoons).

He's in the novelization, so assuming his in the movie. Don't know if it's Fraser's cameo or not. If it is, everyone was freaking over nothing because it's just a minor role.

Thunder's close to his original, but not so close that I'd still classify him as RoC.
Helix shows up in the video game. Firefly isn't his Resolute. Really grasping if trying to make that connection. Flash looks nothing like any of his versions.
