Repurposing your transformers

[Firestorm]

when it comes to things like the reveal the shield line (or any line that isnt tied to some series) the transformer to me is Reveal the Shield (insert line they are representing) (insert name) eg Reveal the Shield Turbo Tracks is Reveal the Shield Classics Tracks

there are some pretty interesting reuses of transformers here

[Bartrim]

Nothing really different to anyone else here except I use Cyb Def Scattershot as Dropshot because it's the same mould and the colours are a better homage to G1... just have to paint the legs and around the head green.

this is a common opinion for me, this fits seaspray and other like him as well.

in the case of the classicsverse chughwugblergh line, I don't usually use figures from other sources to represent figures in that line as I ihold out hope that in time HasTak will do something about it for me. this approach also allows me to spend less money at any given time except for the end of last year when we had that glut of classics figures.

Looking around the study, other repurposing includes

Tracker Hound as a Decepticon (with a Decepticon sticker over the Autobot logo)

Universe Powerglide as Hothouse (with reprolabels)

Sunstreaker as Tigertrack (also with reprolabels)

Sunspot as an Autobot (to pair up with Strafe, to match the Mindwipe/Skystalker pairing)

"Rally" Sideswipe is my Movie Bluestreak
"Before the war Bluestreak was a racing champion, highly competitive with fellow racer Sideswipe. Since the destruction of his home-city, Bluestreak only cares about winning one thing - the war against the Decepticons!"

(I'd actually like to give both new heads and a bit of a tweak to their colours, but the in the meantime, this justifies me having three deluxe Sideswipe toys)

OMG!! You are a legend. Ive been thinking for ages what to call my Rally Sideswipe and you have decided for me! ...........Bluestreak!! Lol

I now need to think of a character that bests represents that black ICEPICK from the Flash Freeze pack. Any ideas?

Black and orange and turns into a chainsaw? Well Buzzsaw comes to mind, but then its not clear if that Icepick is an Autobot or Decepticon, so, although it's not G1, you could think of him as (Energon) Snowcat.

[Decepticon]

Yeah, someone else mentioned Snowcat. Think thats what I will call it

My classics shelves, while to many repurposed toys to name, has included on it:
Classics
Universe 2.0
Generations
RtS.
In my eyes these were all meant to be the same line.

Other toys include:
RotF Mindwipe, Bludgeon and Lockdown
DotM Powerglide
BW 10th anniversary Optimus Primal and Megatron
HftD/AA Seaspray, Tomahawk, Jetblade and Terradive

I keep putting Movie 2007 Arcee on the shlef but she just doesn't fit.

Universe 2.0 Dirge had found his way to the Cybertron shelf and all my junnkers live together on the Planet of Junk.

I am using
#Energon insecticon for Chopsaw
#G1 Legend Bumblebee as smaller sized minibot compared to scout sized minibots
#G2 Frenzy for 'Japanese' G1 Soundblaster
#Japanese exclusive minicon Chrome as a nod to G1 Sparkplug (ref. to Armada minicon toy of same name) as a nod to that G1 episode where Spike mind was transferred to that weird mashup robot

I use Shadow Commander in alt mode as Motormaster
