Agree, along with a Joe to go with, maybe classic Duke since Hasbro likes to pair those characters.

I may be a bit late to the party on this, but just my thoughts. In no particular order?

Python Patrol Trooper

Python Patrol Tele-Viper

Recondo 1984

Slaughters Marauders Spirit

Tiger Force Roadblock

Torch

One of the remaining 1982 Joes

3. Recondo, 1984 style. We know this one is coming too. A simple but must have original colors repaint.
4. Cobra Eel, The last of the early years troopers. Torpedo will need someone to fight.
5. Doc, long overdue we need the Joes main medic.
6. Main Frame, we need a computer specialist, and more Joes from the 1986 line up.
7. Dawn Moreno, Okay this last one is not even someone I would necessarily want( didn?t like the story line at all ).
Thoughts and comments?

I'd like to see Torch have flames to go in his thrower, CC is fine, Recondo is coming but I'm not buying repaints if they continue to raise prices, the Eel is fine cause I like them, I'd prefer Lifeline, Mainframe's going to require modern updates, Lastly I'd prefer GI Jane

We are seeing Slaughters Marauders coming, so I think TF is wrapping up. They have most of them now, and repaints are simpler, so, I'd say your first 4 or 5 are going to be TF/PP.

1. Flint
2. Roadblock
3. Dusty

Maybe 1 or 2 more PP, like trooper or tele-viper.

Recondo 84 is coming eventually.

The next one or 2 could be part of the transition from TF to SM, with Spirit and maybe even a Sarge to go with the BBQ.

The tooling is done for all of these, and I suspect the reason we don't know who are in these slots, is largely due to the fact that they are all repaints and sub-lines.

I do suspect Hasbro has a surprise or two up their sleeve. Something to do with Iron Grenadiers, the Renegades or maybe Cobra-La.

There's been no word one way or the other as to if the WalMart Retro line will continue. There's no reason to assume Cobra Commander and Firefly will be anything other than regular boxed figures at this point.

Whatever happened to Sci-Fi? I remember when wave 1 was released people were throwing his name around because of the Operation Blackout game.

[TheOverlordCorp]

94. Doc
95. Dawn Moreno
96. Destro IG
97. Quick-Kick
98. Duke v4
99. Battle Armor CC (v3)
100. NF Snake-Eyes

Will the line continue after 100?

He still appears on the official site too.

Judging from other characters, the odds are we'll see him.

I think the next lady is gonna be Jinx. Plus, wasn't there a Tiger Force Jinx at some point in ME I think?

I think TF will continue. Marauders are probably just mainline repaints.

You guys might not want to hear it, but I can almost guarantee Slaughters marauders repaints.

My magic 8-ball says TF Beach Head and either TF Flint or SM Falcon.

It’s a known liar, of course, but that’s what it says.

Also, as far as repaints, I’m kind of curious to see what happens with Python repaints from here on out. Maybe a Bludd like the 2000s one with the red grid pattern and gold detail, or a Zarana or Firefly somehow. A Tele-Viper, a CG, sure, but especially that Python trooper could be pretty cool, since the o-ring one is. One day I also want to see Cobra Troopers in black for night ops, tan for desert, etc, but for now I think it’s good to stick with these teams, because IMO there’s a scale effect and you need several TF or several PP or SM to not look so goofy. One or two look odd, but a shelf or big, dedicated section’s worth usually looks really cool.

Almost forgot TF Roadblock. Like others have said, seems highly likely.
