If I could go back in time and smack myself in the head repeatedly I'd buy up every "Pinnacle Products" GI Assault Team that was on sale at KB Toys for $2.88 (clearance) years and years and years ago (like, more than 20). It was a boxed set of 10 kind of "generic" modern/near future soldier types. Only the "soldier with rocket pack in flight" mini wouldn't work for T2k. The rest were pretty slick. It was actually a Grenadier product so I wonder if they re-used some actually FOR T2k when they released minis for the game.
I have one-and-a-half sets; I traded 5 of them for the paint job I got for the other 5. The minis are: RPG (or AT-4) gunner, M60 gunner, SMG gunner, sniper, grenadier, officer with sidearm, trooper with jetpack, mortar on mono-pod, mortar man, small-caliber AA gun with radar fi-con attached.
Some of the troops wear berets, the others "fritz" style helmets. Not sure who sculpted them. They're a motley bunch and the nondescript weapons fit the atmosphere of "Any gun that shoots is a good gun" of T2k.
I lucked into a set at NobleKnight but haven't seen any since. They're nice figs. If I remember to once I start to paint them I'll post them up.
