Apparently Super7 has planned 9 waves of TMNT and Thundercats (part2)

 In Part one I touched the Cosmic Kitties... Now it's time for the Radical Heroes in a Half-Shell, dudes! In some ways TMNT is easier to make a list, but at the same time it's a bit harder.

Like with the Thundercats list, I'll go for figure and reason. I will stick to vintage toyline because I don't know what "other media" s7 has access to. Usagi will be excluded from the list because of potential rights issues. Same kind of issues apply to Panda Khan, but with different people. Thank goodnes, because screw Panda Khan!

Without further ado, what I'd expect from TMNT WAVES 5-9:
This doesn't mean that *I* want all of these. These are figures I'd believe will be added because reasons. Also, I'll keep variants to a minimum... (mainly Super Shredder)

Wave 5:
Krang:
He's the last super core villain. He is also an expensive figure because he'd be with both the Android Body and bubble walker... but in scale to the characters, not the line. Guessing around 9 inches and kinda beefy to hold Krang inside.
Fugitoid:
A Mirage Classic even if it's on weird colors. A "Mirage Silver" with GITD accents could ve a nice s7 redeco.
Pizza Face:
It's a weird option and something that Super7 would release. I just happen to like this character.
Tokka:
Here I'm pulling a Matty by throwing a curveball and preparing a more popular figure that reuses parts.

Wave 6:
Rat King:
I won't pretend that TMNT TiT and the couple of toon appearances didn't influence me. I had a Rat King as a kid and I made a custom Rat King out of a Chris Jericho figure for the NECA TMNT.
Ace Duck:
Who the Hell likes this Donald Duck/Lauchpad hybrid!? He always died in our games as kids between my friend Leo and I. He was pretty much a more realistic take on Launchpad. The idea of an ace pilot is cool, but with so many anthropomorphic ducks, he ends up feeling derivative.
Scumbug:
Roachman mutant thing... S7 might be drawn to him.
Walkabout:
No one expects a mutant kangaroo, mate!

Wave 7:
Leatherhead:
Ah gwa-ran-tee you'll get him. Classic character that hopefully will be bigger in size.
Wyrm:
Good guy, freaky thing that B-Flynn might like.
Rahzar:
Completes the Tokka and Rahzar duo.
Groundchuck:
Evil Cyber Cow Dude... what's not to love.

Wave 8:
Genghis Frog:
Punk Frogs need some representation, yo!
Slash: 
Popular and reuses stuff from Tokka, or viceversa.
Dirtbag:
Completes the Chuck and bag Team! Also a miner mole...
Napoleon Bonafrog:
Completes the toy punk frogs

Wave 9:
Super Shredder:
We finished the TMNT TiT roster with him.
Scratch:
 He's one part Scareglow,  one part  Wonderbread He-Man... he has a mystique about him being supposedly super rare and is an end of line figure.
Mona Lisa:
People like her. Something about Raphael.
Wingnut and Screwloose:
Weird and popular. Also a Batman homage.

I know people want Chrome Dome, but without vac metal he is pointless. I kinda want some of these to be right and others to be oh so horribly wrong!
