Colour-coded teams in Lego sets

I've been trying to find out which Lego themes feature some sort of team, whose members wear roughly the same uniform with the only differences being in colour and a few minuscule details.
So far, I'm aware of these themes that did it:
- Classic Space
- Futuron
- Bionicle
- Alpha Team
- Knights Kingdom 2
- Ninjago
- Galaxy Squad
- Nexo Knights
Any other theme that I might have forgotten to list?

I got a box of Forest Men / Black Falcon guys back in the 80's.
But I was dirt poor and $4.99 for six figs seemed like a lot, so I didn't buy anymore.

Yeah, most of these seem legit. Dunno how I forgot about Extreme Team and Arctic (2000).

You are referring to the older Octan race team, right? But which construction workers are you referring to specifically? Right now I have no clue how these could be colour-coded.

Neither do I know about Johnny Thunder, unless I'm unable to draw any connections to these. A more specific example might help.

Fantastic! I think I still got the blue one somewhere but I rarely ever use my older figures for some reason.

^OO^ I have a LOT of those guys, but I don't recognize a few of them. Beardy guy I don't remember, and where did that green armor piece come from?!?
Actually, castle had a lot of obvious color-coded themes.
Black Falcon
Dragon Knights
Batlord Knights (fright knights)
the red/yellow/blue lion knights
later white/blue lion knights
and so forth...
