So, who else repurposes figures? Do you do it for fiction reasons? So that you can justify buying each recolour and slight remould? Just 'cause it's fun?

What have you repurposed and why?

Well, for me it's mostly to justify buying more than one of the same figure. A Deluxe sized prime will always be Ginrai. A smaller Megatron will be Bludgeon if it's a tank, and Megaplex if not. And so.

But it also, you know, helps with expanding the ranks, and does always give me a chance to expand things if I were to write fanfiction (pretty big if, haven't written it since I wrote Black Hole High slash years ago). And can generally be an excuse to buy more figures than you need in, often, snazzier colours.

Movie Grindcore and Jolt became Crushbull and Roadhugger for my classics collection. Movie Big Daddy, of course, became Classics Big Daddy. Thinking of making Energon Scorponok into Classics Scorponok (Marvel comics sized, that is). Blazing Lockdown has become Black Zarak, and I don't transform his legs all the way so he is slightly different. Elite Guard Bumbelbee will be Hubcap when I get him, so on. Hvae no idea what I'll repurpose Samurai or regular prowl as though.

Am I crazycrazycrazy or is repurposing just endearingly eccentric to the rest of you?
