    Well, I went ahead and got the G2 CW sets. Since I have all 7 members for the normal colored Superion and Menasor, I was thinking of hunting down another Alpha Bravo and Offroad and painting them G2 colors so that I would have all 7 members for the G2 sets as well. Have no ideas as far as which paints will be a good match for them, though. Suggestions?

    When it came to sideswipe, they flipped the primary 2ndary colors and inverted the primary.

    So g1 sideswipe is red robot with little bits of black, and then he became a black robot with little bits of red.
    the g1 was red, invert it and you get green. thats how you got the g2 green on sideswipe

    by that logic
    alpha brave is white robot with orange details
    g2 could be orange robot with white details. use black for hilights

    offroad is a dark grey robot with teal blue details
    g2 could be teal blue robot with dark grey hilights. use white for hilights

    Well, yes, I realize the colors are palet swaps. I guess I should have been more clear. I meant paint that matches the colors of the bot that they replaced; AB replaced Slingshot/Quickslinger, so I would paint AB as such. Same with Offroad.

    Was asking here in the hopes that someone has done some G2 customs and could point me in the direction of something close.
