i can't particulary say doing these in such a simplistic style is something new(hell even i did it in a similar fashion not long ago). but if you really want a sugestion, aim for a more elaborated animation than a 2 frame cycle -remember that tf2's strongest point is each character's personality.

It might be kind of cool if you play around more with giving them distinct shapes-- that's another important thing with the characters in TF2 actually, they all have strong silhouettes. Just as an example, you could try to make the scout skinnier, and the engie + soldier a bit beefier.

I kind of like the 2-frame animation actually, it's cute! Reminds me of Cave Story c:

Tried making them bigger so that I have more space for details.
Edit: Now with shading!

it seems you're moving into something completely diferent. though the shading isnt matching the desing on the sprites.

Yes i'm moving onto something completely different.
As you said, this have been done countless times so why do it again.
Also, why doesn't the shading match the design of the sprites?
