This should be a much better thread than my last one...
IF I HAD TO GUESS: Here are my speculations about the 2011 figures we've recently heard of... * Blowtorch - Remember the yellow & red Volcano Vipers we saw a while back? * Cobra The Enemy - (Wasn't Shock Trooper supposed to fill this role?) Shock Trooper repaint w/ new gear/vest, head and the old-school Cobra helmet. * Cobra Commander - the famous cancelled Jungle Assault CC, possibly w/ a blue redeco * General Hawk - this will go 1 of 2 ways: a) Based on his appearance on Renegades, or b) an update of the '86 version. * Jungle BAT - We saw it already! Get OUTTA here! * Steel Brigade - This will either be an Airborne repaint w/ a ski-masked head and the Steel Brigade helmet that came w/ the Pit Troopers OR a repaint of some other figure w/ a ski-masked head and the ... GI Joe 2011 Series 4 * Snake Eyes Temple Guardian - FINALLY we'll see an unmasked Snake-Eyes (and then I will wake up, in a frozen hell, while pigs soar high above me!) Probably Snakes in a more traditional martial arts outfit. * Crazy Legs - Classic update, darker colors, working parachute? (fingers crossed!) * Croc Master - this could be interesting. I'm guessing we'll get a complete overhaul of the character w/ a BIG croc this time. * Rock Viper - Range-Viper or Alley-Viper body, repaint vest, new head, lots of gear * Viper - It would make more sense for this to be a new figure but for some reason, I smell repaint w/ fixed arms, chrome faceplate, new gear * Iron Grenadier - a sleeker, more modern version of the classic head w/ a new kitbashed body. These are just my predictions. What does everyone else think?

I hope BT is not that big! That Volcano viper was huge.

We've already seen Blowtorch.
Remember that orange volcano viper that we saw pics of awhile back?

That's what I was saying. I agree with you but was that confirmed?

I really think the Cobra Trooper is going to be the one from Renegades. Kitbashed Shock Trooper with Wave 3 Duke arms. Hawk will be Renegades, too. No way would they bring out one Hawk when they're going to have to redo him so soon after. I think this is a way for Hasbro to test the waters on some of the Renegades characters. And I think that's smart.
Viper is going to have an IDW vibe. Cobra Commander will likely be the canceled Jungle version (which is very exciting to me), possibly IDW (also exciting). Crazy Legs, Steel Brigade and Rock Viper will be ARAH homages a la Low-Light. Croc Master and Iron Grenadier, to me, are the big surprises to me. I just wouldn't have expected them to be brought out, especially when the existing figures, in my mind, work pretty well throughout the Jon 'verse. But it will be exciting to see. Quote:

Ugh, that Volcano Viper better not be Blowtorch. Hate it, and I love Blowtorch. Also it has Cobra symbols on it.
I think the Jungle Viper torso and possibly legs could easily be the basis for Crazy Legs.
