As someone else already said, I'd see AoA Jean having no TA, as she spent most of the storyline working with Wolverine/Weapon X, not the X-Men. AoA Cyclops would either get Brotherhood or no TA, as he was allied with Apocalypse as one of Mr. Sinister's lieutenants.
As for the 2099/Ultimate comments, uhh...what? 2099 was originally an alternate possible future for the 616 universe. It was created for similar reasons as the Ultimate universe, but while the 2099 stuff took advantage of 616 continuity in a lot of ways, the Ultimate books completely ignore it.
ill make a bet that the aoa figs r going to have the ult xmen team symbol since we only had one fig with that symbol in the last 3 sets.
How about this for the winner of this bet. If they don't have that TA then you will have to spell out ARE instead of typing R for it in all your future post.
Hell, spell out everything. Writing Figure isn't much harder than writing fig, is it? I mean, it's only a few more strokes of the keyboard.
In a perfect world they'd have the normal X-Men TA, which I admit. would make very little sense, but I'd be able to remove the figures from the dial and find more suitable replacements. Then they would be seemlessly interegrated into a regular X-Men team.
Either way, I'm still pull off the sculpts and replacing them come to think about it.
I am sorry, I feel slow and honestly do not care about the set, but what does AoA stand for?
People have hounded me with the question"What do you want to be when you grow up?" And now I can successfully answer them. I wanna be...A Krogan Battle Master.
AoA = Age of Apocalypse, the last X-crossover to be worth reading.

From what I recall, the 2099 Universe, is just a parallel universe now, can't remember the specific number off-hand, obviously it's not 616!!! When 2099 started, it seemed like it would be the future of the main 616 universe, but I guess plans changed.
This is similar to the way that the Guardians of the Galaxy universe is just another parallel universe. And people think DC is the only company with confusing multiple universes!!!

While I actually want the AoA X-Men to get the Ultimate X-Men TA, I have to take a little issue here. ONE does not constitute a habit, especially when we have a Blink that contradicts you.
I can see it going either way. My preference would be to establish UXM as the AoA X-TA in this set, then see a new Transporter Blink with it in the next set, but I'm not holding my breath...
Fair point. But right now, all the Exiles seem to get the 616 X-Men TA, too. Maybe there's just a big dartboard in Seth's office with X-Men and Ultimate X-Men TAs that he just throws darts at when a crossover fig comes up.

It could go either way. It's obvious that the Exiles have been getting the X-Men team ability. REV Blink could easily just represent her tenure with the Exiles rather than her time in AoA, in which case UXM is still valid as a catch-all "alternate universe X-Men" team ability.
Or Cyke and Jean Grey might just have the regular X-Men team ability. Meanstreak probably got UXM because having just one regular X-Man in the 2099 collector's set would have been pretty pointless.
