Frankly I wish they did MORE to change/update the packs. I feel like the clippards should go or at least be replaced with new ones like this:
Especially with these ones they could have had wire leads coming out the top to go up to the ion arm proper. Instead of the janky solution Egon came up with that surrounds the base of the clippard. I was surprised to see them keep that cuz I interpreted that as some sort of crude repair Egon did, rather than some functional upgrade.
The yellow tri-bumper is a welcome addition in my opinion but some caution striping on the right hand side would have been cool. I definitely would have been interested in a more elaborate Ion arm. A more advanced power cell meter would have been cool? Like I dunno 3 lines of lights (different colors maybe, red yellow green?) going up and down at separate rates as if they're each tracking different but related values. Any sort of N-filter change would have been neat. They definitely could put like a square LCD screen on the wand in the place of the bar graph to show more information. I do like the fluted sorta machine gun style barrel on the wand too.
P.S. Gosh my head is really just spinning with more ideas. Wouldn't it be neat if they gave the wand an actual trigger now? Remove the box on the side with the activate switch and intensify button. Move the activate switch to the main body having a row of 3 switches more tightly together. And then you have a fairly gun-like trigger ring added to where your index would sit on the bottom of the rear grip.
