The Crimson Guard and Night Viper were shown at Toy Fair and are scheduled for wave 5, I think...maybe W4. But if the Retaliation line runs anything like the RoC line, we will never see anything past wave 2 anyway. So I wouldn't count on ever seeing them at retail on Retaliation cards...but if you do, Surprise!
I have 0 faith in Hasbro's ability to execute a line of movie toys now. Phantom Menace 3D, fail. Captain America, fail. Thor, fail. Transformers 3, fail. Iron Man 2, fail. Rise of Cobra, fail. Indiana Jones, fail.
I think the last sucessful movie lines for Hasbro were Transformers 1 and maybe 2 and the first Iron Man. TF and IM were happy accidents where retail was actually kind of starved for toys that later was filled and TF2 had moderate success because they were more prepared. But, by the time TF 2 and 3 came around it was more like the Optimus and Bumblebee show and that kind of hurt them IMO.
