** {{Jossed}}, the New-U network stays active all the way to the endgame. But this begs the question: [[FridgeLogic why doesn't Handsome Jack just turn it off? His Vault Hunter problem would solve itself!]]
** Dahl definitely seems likely. They not only dropped the ball on the Vault once, which must sit badly with them, but they also already have a huge amount of mining assets not only on Pandora, but other planets as well. If the next game's in Pandora too, they can reclaim their assets there and quickly make a play to take over. Also, they'd be pretty pissed at the Crimson Raiders, considering that Sanctuary itself is technically Dahl property.

Not only is the fall of one of the setting's biggest business conglomerates a plot point worth exploring, it can also lead to Gearbox putting back Atlas weapons as super rare vintage weaponry. It's a great way to bring back Athena, too.

[[spoiler:... Una Baha. Una sues and wins against Hyperion for her Uncle Teddy's Wave Gun patent, and though Hyperion is not finished, it IS under financial straits because of Handsome Jack's death and the lawsuit's payoff. Una then buys enough shares to become Hyperion's majority shareholder(and thus, the boss) and takes over. Hyperion becomes a much more humane company under her leadership(her first order of business would probably be to have Mr. Blake fragged, and possibly to start re-manufacturing Claptraps), and in appreciation for the Vault Hunters' part in helping her avenge her uncle, Una makes Hyperion the Vault Hunters' corporate sponsor.]]

[[WMG: Another of the weapons producing MegaCorp is going to be the BigBad of the third game.]]
In the previous game, Atlas Company was the main BigBad, becoming a major presence near the end of the game and going out of business thanks to the Vault Hunters by its end. In the sequel, Hyperion is the BigBad, with its main CEO, Handsome Jack, having ambitions of drilling into Pandora to snag an even ''bigger'' vault than the one the FinalBoss came out of from the first game. Whether or not merely Handsome Jack is defeated at the end or Hyperion goes kaputz like Atlas did, Hyperion itself would not be a major player in third game. Instead, there are six other weapons manufacturers left to antagonize the third generation of Vault Hunters. Here are the most likely:
* Dahl, coming back to reap the rewards off Pandora due to the riches found, believing they would've hit pay dirt if they hadn't bailed out in their first attempt.
* Jakobs, led by a group of shadowy individuals who all claim to be the descendants of the company's founder.
* Vladof, with the company taking its own sales pitch WAY to seriously and is using Pandora as the main hub for ANY anti-revolutionary group in the galaxy, making the planet even MORE lawless and chaotic than before in stark contrast to Hyperion forcefully trying to instill order.
* [[EvilVsEvil Maliwan and Torgue]], both of them trying to claim Pandora for different reasons and clashing in open warfare against each other with their differing styles becoming the most prevalent of the clash. Possibly a chance to parody the ExcusePlot of TeamFortress2 and maybe a satirical exaggeration of modern day corporate rivals (McDonalds vs. Burger King, Coca-cola vs. Pepsi, Target vs. Wal-Mart, etc.)
Tedidore most likely wouldn't, due to a company focused on cheap yet reliable merchandise becoming evil corporate overlords would be impractical in-universe and extremely cliche gameplay and storywise while the Bandits not being likely [[AlwaysChaoticEvil should]] [[ChaoticStupid be]] [[DumbMuscle obvious]].

This is why there seem to be an unlimited number of bandits. They're respawning at their own terminals, and Hyperion is making money off them every time they die. Not to mention hiring them out for merc work. Also why the former Vault Hunters are staying mostly on the sidelines; they've been locked out of the system, but the Guardian Angel hacked you in.
