Idle Animations/Taunts
I was thinking it'd be cool if you were able to taunt, or if the character did an idle animation after 5-7 seconds of standing perfectly still. Maybe they could be something like this?

-Commando: Would touch the side of his helmet and little radio waves would come out, as if he were trying to send a message to any ships in the area. After a hopeful glance upwards, he would shake his head miserably and go back to his resting position. I believe this would fit him because in the first game, i got the impression that he just wanted to get off the planet ASAP.

-Engineer: Would take out one of his mines and tighten a screw on the back panel. After a little tightening, the panel would spring off, and springs and other junk would go flying everywhere, surprising him, before putting it away.

-Huntress: Would run a finger along the string of her bow, then pull it back and aim experimentally. Then, she would hear something and look to the right and left, startled.

-MUL-T: Would pick up a rock about the size of its hand. Then, MUL-T would pretend to have a conversation with it, and when the rock does not respond, MUL-T would poke it a couple times and then carelessly toss it behind it.

-Artificer: Would either do some cool magic stuff, like twirling fire and plasma in her hands, or pull out a mirror and gaze into it longingly, placing her hand on the glass and sliding it down before snapping back to reality and reluctantly putting the mirror away. I'm thinking the mirror would have the place where she came from on it.

-Mercenary: Would do some samurai/ninja stretches and poses, maybe some swordplay too.

-Bandit: Would pull out a cigar and light it with some dynamite. Then, right before it blows up, he would extinguish it with his fingers. Perhaps the cigar could stay in the bandit's mouth for a while afterwards?

-HAN-D: Since HAN-D is technically a janitor, it would use its hammer as a sort of broom and sweep the ground for a couple seconds, attempting to whistle in its robotic voice. Or, better yet, if the devs would be willing to animate a transformation, MUL-T could transform the end of its hammer into a broom.

These are just some of my ideas, but it would be cool to see them in the game.
