Well, I think if BF2K hadn't been killed off, we'd have seen Maverick in a couple more comics. And nobody would have any interest in Dodger. The team would have reached a level of popularity probably just under the Eco-Warriors.

Chances of Hasbro doing a 5 (or 6) pack would have been zero even if they hadn't died, or at the very least they'd have changed the name to Battleforce 3000. Since the original gimmick was the vehicles, which didn't really prove popular, I don't see them dealing with the cost of reproducing it when there were WAY more popular vehicles (& characters) they could have rereleased.

IF they did, I'd say a 6-pack would have had everyone but Dee-Jay and a 5-pack probably could have missed out Maverick, who had enough exposure to probably get away with a single/double carded release. I can't say I care that it didn't happen; the only thing that I would have thought was even slightly cool would have been a new-sculpt Dodger without a barrel-torso, packaged with one of the new vehicles.
